Where are effects such as contrails and vapor trails? I was hoping they'd be in ArmA 2 because OFP and ArmA left them out. Possible to mod this in?

Shouldn't this aircraft be in the game being as though this is so Marine centric? Both the Marines and the Navy use the F/A-18C Hornet.

Only way I know of is to download the map and put it in the folder yourself.

You can fly however high you want.

Sorry about that man, didn't mean to hype the thread.

Yeah way back in the '60s-'70s.

There is an option in my graphics driver to "Force Mipmaps". What the heck does this do?

Haha okay thanks man. There's always somebody who doesn't understand what is said and then goes off about how you are "wrong" when he misunderstood you.

Do you gain any performance going from Vhigh to low?

How and why are you guys shooting at aircraft with a 120mm smooth bore cannon aimed at the ground and not a Shilka, Avenger, or even better, a Tunguska?

I believe so. This game does not follow the Marine ranking system very well if it even tries to.

What I meant to say was: The CH-53 replaced the CH-47 back in the day, and now the CH-53 is being replaced. By "newer version" I meant they replaced the helicopter to better fulfill a similar role.

Well Chinooks are VERY old helicopters. I think the Army still uses a few of them, but that's it. The USMC is starting to decommission the CH-53's already, which are newer versions of the CH-47 basically. MH-60S (in the game already) are replacing the replacement of the CH-47 Chinooks. My local airport where I am learning to fly choppers has two CH-53's they bought from the USMC.

Yes, I have Steam version and the beta patches/mods will/do work.

Career.

They are including OFP style controls for aircraft with next patch.

Marines have corpsmen.

This.

United States Marines do not use, and have never used, the Apache in any variant. Nor have any of the other armies in this game. It would be cool to see a new aircraft, though I'd prefer a CH-53 being as though the USMC still uses them. ***EDIT*** Or even better yet, the AC-130!

True. What they did in ArmA 1 with patch 1.09 beta worked great though.

Does anybody else feel that the FOV (field of view) in vehicles is way too narrow and 'zoomed in'? For example; if I'm driving or riding in a UAZ and hold down numpad - it seems much better than the stock view.

What? Your English isn't so good... XD

I'm a helicopter pilot in training IRL and yeah I agree. For gameplay it should be wider though, to mimic peripheral vision.

Would it at all be possible in this version of the game engine to make variable throttle/collective?

HOLY CRAP I hope that's gonna happen soon! Now I really can't wait for the patch. XD Thanks for the info man.
