Stealth3

I was using the keyboard and mouse to fly. I don't know if you were reading my previous posts or not so let me state again that its not the flying that bugs me. That video was made to show to all the people that say "ARMA chopper handling is realistic" that it isn't the case. For the people that keep insisting that its super easy to dogfight or even shoot from air to ground using a chopper, pelase make a video. The cobra video just proves my point of how terrible the choppers handle. Basically you autohover above the convoy and have your gunner shoot the convoy with guided missiles and the chaingun. Is that supposte to be a simulation or what. Can you complete that mission with the ffar only? I doubt so. Or can you even complete it without being a floating target? Well show me what you can do. Why don't you open the editor, place a few tanks on the ground, an enemy chopper in the sky, and try to take it on without the gunner. Try another test. Place 2 camel planes on the same map, one being the player and one being the AI. Give the AI the waypoint to fly in a straight line, and try to "dogfight it" See if you succeed untill your ammo runs out and get back to me with a video of what a great pilot you are. I doubt you guys ever saw any real videos of choppers in "action" The way the guy in the cobra mission flew, simulates stupidity, no offence.

I never recorded FPS in ARMA till I made a video yesterday. So I thought my FPS was around 30 when in fact it was less than 20. Its one of those games you always think your FPS is higher than it actually is. At the moment it is. Just because I talk about it doesn't mean I enjoy playing it.

If it bothers you so much just don't read any of my posts. Is that easy Instead your complaining too much.

I thought AA was a huge FPS killer. But I might as well play OFP then play on low.

At least your buying it , thats all that matters. Whether you play it or not who cares

I wouldn't mind the flying at all. What I do mind is that because of the flying, you can't use the helicopter for anything other than a fancy taxi. The only thing about the flying is the sensitivity. They act like paper choppers, you turn a little to the left or right and you flip right away. You cant have air vs air battles or air vs ground. Unless you use auto aiming missiles all the time. The plane dogfighting is even horrible if not impossible. Thats what ruins it for me

I thought mine was running good till I got into the CTI map. On normal, I was getting around 10 FPS at the East CTI spawn.

Because they dicide to ignore them? I don't see anyone dogfighting in ARMA. Wonder why uhmmm.

If you can't see any problems, I won't waste any time explaining to you what the problem is. If you read a few pages back, some people asked for a video, so I gave them a video. If everything looks good for them, then thats their problem. People can be ignorant if they want, you know. I should have left out the first part, but it shows that it takes forever to get the command to do something. Same with the T72. Also it often happens with ammocrate, you never get the command. For those who say the demo gives better performance, keep in mind that the demo takes place on SahraniLite.

Here's a short video of how helicopters handle in ARMA. You find serious bugs in this game without even looking for the. How awesome is that? And somebody dare to tell me this is the realistic flight model you all have been waiting for.

I'm assuming none of you have the retail version? AI can be quite stupid, I can assure you.

Yep, lots of tweaking to do. But you can do it. You should get a hold of the guy that made DOOM3 run on a vodooo 64 mb : )

Is it integrated?

Just buy a 10 inch monitor. That way you can play on 600X400 and it will look good as new

Well I'm not playing it, thats why I'm around here posting And which bugs are those Dan?

What good is an "awesome game" if you don't enjoy it? For me to enjoy it they will have to do quite some code changing. They will have to make planes not handle like flying rocks and make the choppers act less like UFO. ATM its impossible to dogfight, or even air to ground combat. The player movements are not that easy to change either, but they are not a big of a deal as choppers and planes. The way choppers and planes are at the moment ruins 1/3 of the game. To me there is a comparable product and its call OFP. In fact its better since I can enjoy it.

Nice post Kronos. Really well developed, and I agree with pretty much everything you said.

What on earth does the size of the land have to do with the movements of the soldiers and the flying rocks they call "choppers"? Really. Just because the game has good sides doesn't mean we have to ignore all the badsides. Anyone knows how to turn the HDR off? Because it bugs me. HDR=0, does that work? And which config is it in? Thanks Bratty have you even played the demo? Do you have the game? have you tried flying with a chopper or plane in ARMA?

What the heck are you talking about? The final game is out in 3 countries and on sprocket. And this demo is as accurate to what will be in the UK version as you can get. Maybe some bug fixes, but I don't expect anything out of the ordinary. And some issues might be because of server lag. Like shooting and not scoring a hit.

Doubt it. The demo is 1.03, the full version is 1.02 as of right now. Unless 1.03 just means demo plus SahraniLite, I don't think they are compatible.

For me, I haven't experienced crashes in the retail version. However, the FPS is pretty unplayable in forrests. Other than that, its pretty playable. In cities sometimes it lags really bad, and sometimes it does't. And getting mouselag from time to time in the editor. I have everything on normal, shadows on low or off. Low AA.

It's the fog of war. Whatever is in color is what I discovered. (Colors represent the factions) Everything in black (the left of the map) is undiscovered yet. Its pretty filled in (Mogols, tirmuids, russians, and other factions are to the far east.)

I think it will work just like HL2 mods. You can install the mods manually. Now sure about that, you might want to check in with other people. Here's a picture of the whole campaign map

Argh, download finished and its corrupt. Can anyone post the changes in 1.03 plz?

You can get it on Steam. Campaign map is a little bit bigger than RTW plus a part of North America that you need to discover later on. More aggressive AI (if you play on hard with the latest patch). Also religion plays a bigger part in the game.
