I would recommend to start here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config

I had some weird performance problems on my notebook with Geforce in Take On for long time. Unfortunately, I could not update the drivers so far easily (unsupported product, usual notebook problem with custom device drivers handling by manufacturers). Finally, the new http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-285.79-beta-driver.html installed on my laptop and Take On runs really well on it now. For reference, it is Asus G53S notebook, with Geforce GTX460M, Windows 7 x64, I am playing the game on default settings and it runs at stable 30 fps now. I certainly recommend trying this new beta in case you have performance problems on Nvidia cards in Take On Helicopters (note that there are two releases, one for notebooks and one for desktops).

My problems were frequent periodic drop in performance, ie every 10-20 secs several frames took insanely long to render. Choppy. This is gone with this driver update and I am enjoying the game on this laptop with stable 30, 12 km view distance and all other settings to default.

Oui, mais notre forums en anglais, s'il vout plait Yes, French translation is in the works as well for the game and will be avilable later.

What version is that? DVD, Steam, Sprocket?

Exactly ten years after its initial and very successful PC release, Mrazík is released for iPhone / iPad in the Czech language only (English and possibly other language versions may follow for this platoform as well later in 2011) in improved and touch controlled incarnation of this lovely Russian fairy tale.

We are doing some restructuring of our mobile activities but games are coming back. For now, Father Frost is temporarily unavailable unfortunately.

Steam is yet to use differential updates for its system. Nothing we can do about it really. But it is something they seem to be working on implementing so hopefully one day in future it is going to be better.

We hear your feedback. However, it simply does not make sense to repeat pretty much the same information all over again and again. Please let us do our homework, enjoy the game if you can (on trainee) and let's check later where it all goes. It may not be as trivial as it may look. We just released first update which improves mostly the career mode based on the feedback, next is to establish a beta program that is going to allow us to be more agile with our work and after that another update is planned. Plus after the latest disturbance in force, we have an influx of real world helicopters pilots to the forums which we need to face :rolleyes:

Let's call it a date, please pm so that we can arrange everything.

We are delighted to welcome so many RL helicopter pilots to our forums lately! Very exciting. ---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ---------- Where did you buy the game from? If I arrange your money back, would you be able to take me on board of your chopper?

Yes, it is. If your GPU is able to cope with the load, you can also set your 3D resolution to higher than native resolution to achieve even better results (it is the true supersampling, most precise antialiasing...), standard GPU side antialiasing called MSAA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisample_anti-aliasing ) can be also used and it is much less GPU hungry but still provides nice improvements, especially for getting rid of jaggies. ---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ---------- There is on thing in RV3 engine and Take On Helicopters: you can set rendering resolution independently from the primary native resolution. It is recommended to run with the primary resolution equal to the native resolution of your display device and use the 3D resolution to scale game based on your GPU performance for best results.

Do you really read what our developers are saying? I am not sure. We welcome solid feedback and we are always trying to improve our products based on good and productive cooperation with our valuable user communities (and really there is no need to use strategy of broken record with us to achieve best results, it is much more useful to provide really specific feedback). We really like and play this game a lot in our studios but that does not mean we are not prepared to improve it further. Yes, it is correct the flight model is licensed from a 3rd party which makes our iterative development practice a bit harder this case. The game is just released, if you are interested you can find out what our current support plans are.

Please pm me your proof of purchase and cd key and I am going to personally look at your problem. Thank you

Yes, pirates are out of the wild at the moment.

These problems indicate corrupt download most likely (or in rare cases some other problem during installation, e.g. error on HDD). I can only recommend to check md5 (checksum) of all files downloaded and re-download files that are corrupt manually. You should be able to see md5s from your sprocket account maintanance, not sure about the other systems, but more likely the md5s are the same.

Arma Gold is not going to be included in the North American release due to licensing issues (= rights to the game currently with Atari for some time to go).

Czech, German, Italian, French and Spanish localisations are going to be added to the game (basically in the order as I listed the languages). It is matter of few weeks or couple of months and the online version are going to be automatically updated with the localisations as they become available.

If a file is corrupted, download the corrupted file. There is direct download link available for each separate file from Sprocket.

Crossfire is something to be handled by GPU drivers profiles, game can not "enable" it on its own as it is in fact kind of a hack. You may either tweak the profile for the game manually or you can rename the exe to "arma2oa.exe" to get Arma 2 OA profile used for it which should work just fine.

In case of some problems with the downloader, you can simply use direct links to complete the installation manually.
