The ArmA flight model was awesome before 1.02, when it was apparently "fixed" or made "better". At least back then you could turn at high speeds, but from 1.02 onwards chopper flying feels so wooden. But i guess most people here wouldn't have gotten to play the early Czech versions...

Game still has "magic" AI that spot you anywhere, anyhow.

What are these AI addons you speak of? Do they make the AI un-retarded?

Yeah, i passed it the next day. I loaded my save, did everything the same way, but this time my chopper didn't fuck up and start spinning left (also the blackhawk did this to me in the training mission last night too, just before i had to go pick up the troops) and somehow magically i didn't even get shot at by any AA, and took out the convoy without anything taking a single shot at me. Strange, strange game, this one.

Can't say i've ever seen an AA soldier in ArmA... It's still retarded, i don't even see a missle... it's just BOOM no explosion but, oh look no more tail rotor, BOOM, oh look yet again no explosion but HEY IM HEADING TO THE GROUND. Fuckin' stupid if you ask me. Don't choppers and shit get a warning tone if something is locked on to it? And i dunno how it changed in 1.08 for you guys, but when i bought the English version of ArmA, i installed 1.05, then 1.08... THEN played all the single missions, and it was still the original Gunship mission i played in 1.00/1.01/1.02 Czech. For me, it didn't change until i installed QG.

1.08!? I don't think so... i finished all the sp missions after i installed 1.08, then i installed QG and they'd all been reset and mission 4 had changed. And; No, the tail rotor is spinning, i haven't even been seen, let alone hit. AND, if a vehicle had driven off, i'd be able to auto-target it, easily. Considering i can auto-target vehicles from 123987m away.

[sarcasm]Wow, what can i say? BIS - you keep making this game better and better... [/sarcasm] Ok, so... on this "new" mission, ugh... ENDLESS problems. I can find ONE path, where i don't get shot out of the sky completely randomly by something i can't target, OR see. So i go down this path, coming up to the left of the convoy, along the ocean... i get near the convoy, and i lift up (from flying 2-5ft above sea level) and my chopper (no matter what i do), as soon as i start to slow down, OR lift, or both - starts to spin, near uncontrollably, making it near impossible to take out the convoy without constantly moving my mouse to the right (lucky i have a big mousepad! Then i take out the entire convoy, and fly over the area to make sure, and the game decides NOT to trigger to tell me to go back to base, and WOAH WHAT'S THIS!? I get randomly shot out of the sky from something i can't target OR see... AGAIN! Thanks BIS, keep up the GREAT work. *pats heads*

The game shouldn't be disembarking you until you reach the shore, in a walkable depth of water, about 1-3 meters from dry land.

I did it, i just hit behind a rock, shot everyone i could, and shot all the tanks and shit with rockets, then called in the dudes, and they came in and shot up the remaining dudes, and i moved up to some hill and shot the last tank, mission over.

So i've killed everyone on the beach, but now my radio has disappeared from my map screen, so i can't radio the other dudes to come in, and they're complaining at me. Thanks goes out to BIS for creating yet another bug-free game.

Is it just me, or is this mission 99% impossible!? I swear i've tried EVERYTHING, and nothing works. I can get about 50m from the point where i place the satchel charges, but some guy magically spots me without NV from like 239487m away. I've tried hiding behind a rock near insertion and killing every single man on the beach then stealthing over to the satchel point, but there's a Shilka just above the beach that always magically spots me, even when looking the other way... even when i'm crawling, 50% submerged in water. I tried crawling through 239487 bushes around the back of the beach, and someone without NV always spots me from so far away. It's ridiculous, can anyone gimme any tips!? EDIT: And i found team switching to be useless, as the leader just struts off and starts firing and gets himself killed straight away. So damn frustrating!

Any fix log for 1.09 anywhere?

I know numerous people with an X1950Pro, and they've never had such problems (any of them). I've got an X1950XTX and i've never had problems either, that, AND it runs ArmA fine on max gfx, 1280x1024, view distance 1000... somehow. Sucks that you hit a bad patch.

Realistic mission situations, maybe? :/

Ok, i got some basics down while bored today, but can't figure out how to trigger an extraction once the target has been killed. Also, my waypoints don't seem to trigger until i switch to the 2nd unit in my squad, how would i fix this? Here's the mission (only played around for about 1/2 an hour) if anyone wants to take a look for me. Thanks. http://files.filefront.com/ArmArar/;8502107;/fileinfo.html Keep in mind you'll probably need XAM1.3
