Hi, I have this the config and I was expecting a higher FPS. I see a lot of youtube videos that have around 80 FPS on and I'm getting something closer to 50 FPS on high settings Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170-D3HP ATX LGA1151 Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-2666 Here is a video I recorded Here is someone else video with the same card with much higher FPS I just wanted to know if this is a expected FPS or if I have something wrong in my Arma3 configuration. Thanks for your help, Tex

ok so I changed my Motherboard to a Asus Z170 Gaming and overclocked the i5 6600K to 4.6Ghz and the FPS is now better. I still have some FPS hickups especially when zooming but I guess this would be off topic.

I see. I have a i5 but I think it applies as well. I will try to replace my MB then against a Z170 (I still can return it) and OC it I'll do some proper benchmarks with the missions you linked and come back with the results. Thanks for the help

I played that offline. I will try the nvidia experience Can you please elaborate ?

Hi, does the "Arma 3 Helicopters" DLC contain any new helicopter missions / campaign or is it just the helicopters and flying model? cheers, tex

Hi, so the game is now released but when I go to the "Campain", it says that it is not available yet. I can only play the showcases, challenges and user posted missions. How do I play the game ?

ok thanks for your answers. I wait till the campaign is released then. I think the user experience in a game takes a serious hit when you start it and all you see are some short missions. I really loved the campaign of the original Operation Flashpoint and that's something I expect in Arma 3 as well ;) cheers

thanks ;)

Hi, when I download a mission using Steam and try to play it, it says "Cannot play this mission. It is dependable on a downloadable content that has been deleted. a3_map_altis). What am I supposed to do ? cheers

most of the missions or steam seem to be on Altis .... it's a bit confusing. Is the dev branch only for BI devs ? Or can we test it as well ?

Hi, does or will ArmA 3 provide an API access to the simulated word data parameters (units x/y position, speed, heading, health, mission briefing, ... ) so that a 3rd party app could use those ? thanks, Tex

ok thanks

noob question: how do I play Hinds ? I"ve installed it, enabled it in the "Extensions" menu, restared the game .. and now what ? I don't see any Hinds missions or campaigns :confused:

great ! thanks

Hi, does ToH provide an access to the live flight data parameters (speed, alt, hdg, ...) so that a 3rd party app could use those ? thanks, Tex

interesting. If it's experimental I suppose there is no documentation for it :) Could you point me to a place where I should start ? You said "DLLs" so is it a API allowing a local 3rd party app to get some data from the game ?

If something like this is possible I would do my own application meaning that it does not matter which kind of interface ToH would offer. I can give you more details in PM if you want. regards

Hi, so I played the game for several hours and I must say I'm a bit disappointed. I sure did enjoy playing the missions because I like plane simulation games but this doesn't look like a new game. I have the impression that Take On Helicopters is an addon for Arma. Same old UI, same old sounds, same old graphics :( I look anyway forward to playing the final release but I was just expecting something new :(

Hi, in the 1st mission, the crew that I'm supposed to drop off at the firing range won't get off the helicopter even though I landed exactly at the waypoint: what am I doing wrong ? ---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ---------- got it, I had to be facing North.

Hi, a bit noob question but how do I enable the joystic ? In the controls menu, I see it as enabled and the axis are recognized but in the game I cannot fly with it. regards, Tex

ok thanks.

ok, I thought it would be pre mapped.

yep direct links seem to be faster but I think I will have to let it download overnight

The mirrors are pretty slow : 200 KB/s :(

I've just received en email with the cd key and a download link ;) Im at work though ...
