The main problem for me resides in the "hanging on the "ball" feeling" that is consistent with the more accurate helicopter flight model which should not at all be present when flying the A-10, as it is very unnatural in yawing. But, once again, I fear that you've missed the point of my statement, wamingo. Your concerns over the planes being too powerful weaponswise can be addressed by custom addons provided by the community. The game's plane flight model, on the other hand, can NOT be fixed by the community. Hence, you should be redressing the issue of too powerful weaponry to those addonmakers who make improved versions of the A-10, Su-34 etc, which will end up being used, if history repeats itself as with OFP. But in order to make even those third-party planes bearable, an acceptable plane flight model is an imperative premise, and that premise can only be fulfilled by BIS. A plane flight model like OFP's managed to be functional for gaming's purpouses, so all that would be needed is to have that plane flight model reimplemented.

I must say I disagree 100%. The values with which any given addon does and receive damage in ArmA can be edited by the community. But the flight model of planes is something hard-coded into the game which the community cannot (or at the very least, isn't allowed to) change according to it's wishes. You're talking about one plane. We're mostly complaining about something that affects ALL planes, it just happens to be that of all planes I bet the A-10 is the most flown one. So, fixing the FLIGHT MODEL for ALL PLANES should have MAXIMUM PRIORITY over any points you've listed.

Hey Nightkiller, where can I get those buggies? I miss them so much from OFP!!! They're perfect for ArmA!!! Do they have the Nitro script?

Well, it being a Spielberg film I guess we were lucky in not having Velociraptors instead of F-16s... j/k Although I wasn't so bold as to take my gf along when I went to see it, it seems to be such an entertaining movie that alot of chicks seem to dig it. Which bodes well for us TF fans when the sequels come out...

Yeah, basically, the best thing about the expansion will the new desert "Porto" island...

I think that the off-road driving slow-down is to simulate how a vehicle driving over somewhat more rough terrain that is normally seen. Just to give you an idea, I don't know how it is in ArmA but in OFP if you put the terrain detail to the highest setting, anything off-road gets very much "crumpled", therefore so much slow-down would be perfectly normal. The problem is, not every off-road terrain is THAT "crumpled"...

My only plea for a patch, be it an interim 1.08-something or 1.09 patch is that the plane flight model be fixed for something that could actually be bearable, because the current one... OFP's plane flight model would be good enough...

The whole plane flight model is too strange to be useful because it's just an adapted version of the helicopter flight model... I must implore to BIS to implement an urgent interim patch to fix it ASAP, since it's really worthless!!! Whilst with OFP the plane's lack of power were compensated by a flight model that took a normal plane's flight model into account, in ArmA, which favours the helicopter flight model, drastic cuts in power for going forward will result in sharp stalls and altitude loss, as if you wouldn't be flying a plane at all, especially one with perfectly straight wings like the A-10... I reiterate my plea to BIS to fix this rather sooner than later!!!

The only thing coming a bit close to what Neo did was the guy jumping off a bridge into a pile of snow...

That guy just sooooo reminds me of that new kind of Alien seen in Aliens 4...

Thanx, redpride! Now I can go stomping trees in style!

And here I was expecting to see lots of bugs... (Klendathu pun intended only) Well, the occasional menu window that popped up in intervals at the center of the screen may have been a nice place-holder, lol... j/k, nice movie indeed.

I can't remember where I had that addon, does anybody have a download link for it?

Watch out! Be careful! It might be Frenzy!!! @sven This movie is for Transformers fans only. You must understand that some human aspect has always crept up in the original series, so this movie would hardly be different, being a live action movie. If it would be on Cybertron instead of Earth, then we might have not seen any "human interference", but I must say, only might. This definitely isn't your regular war movie. THIS IS TRANSFORMERS!!! MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!

Hey, someone's gotta work on the addon buildings' interiors, right? Well, I can only say I'm anxious to see UNICON both in OFP and ArmA!

I sure hope you also plan to release the stuff in ArmA, since the release of "THE TOOLS" seems to be practically imminent...

You mean that there are bridge problems with trailers in ArmA too?

It will have if Gnat is successful in mimicking the Peterbuilt "Tater Salad" truck made by Delta Hawk for OFP... thinking of which, could you try to import that one into ArmA, Gnat? But in Optimus Prime (TFTM) Paintjob, please!

I can't wait for MORE!!! Â But next movie, I sure hope to see someone more charismatic than Frenzy, since Frenzy was the most charismatic decepta-creep in the movie, IMHO... Edit: Did anybody get the name of the type of rounds that army guy insisted be used in attacking the deceps with? I didn't quite get it...

Haven't seen it yet but will, though I must say I find it strange Bruce Willis decided to make another violent film, since he said he wouldn't do anymore violent films... So much for the weight of the word...

Sc@tterbrain, it's a must-see! And I actually didn't have to wait in line or something - I got my preview ticket by turning in a page of a newspaper at a Chevrolet (GM) stand in exchange for a ticket... So I was lucky to see the movie for free AND before the official debut! Â Â Â Funny thing though, they didn't manage to have the sound set up correctly, so they had to restart the movie like 3 times... Â But I must admit I loved it and, dang, maybe I'll go see it again, just for the heck of it! Â Edit: @ redpride: It was said that when Michael Bay was approached to do a Transformers movie, he said that if they were supposed to look like the toys and animation series already released, that he wouldn't do it... but they told him that he was supposed to do a "live-action" movie, so he actually relieshed that and the result, well, it's great! And dang, are the babes hot!

I must say I use the Zboard's big brother, the MERC, and it runs ok, no complaints at all!

Ah, well, just saw it, and I must say, I loved it!!! Comments about the movie: (Warning!!! Potential Spoilers!!! Read on at own risk!!! ) I must say that I never cared much for the single autobot that met its end, not in its G1 incarnation, neither in the movie (was rather ridiculous, Bumblebee was fun but had style and ALOT more charisma). Another thing I didn't understand was just exactly how good old buckethead got killed in the end - it was so fast I barely registered it... Â But, it's good to know that the one and only immortal decep stayed true to himself by surviving through cowardice... but he was not the only one, though no other survived without damage... So we all hope for a sequel! Â Â Â

I was just thinking since I got a new flight controller recently that I needed something to replace my aged Jane's Fighter's Anthology, something on the lite side of realism which my friends could also play in a LAN without much hassle or knowledge (well a little bit of knowledge is always required, but oh well), so I searched around a bit and decided to go with the Strike Fighter Project successor called Wings over Europe (US Release: Cold War gone Hot, European Release: Cold War Soviet Invasion), and, as I learned more and more of the game, it reminded me of the openness of OFP and ArmA with regards to addons & stuff, so I was wondering if anybody was into this also from this community?

Is the plane flight model in any bug tracking number acknowledged by BIS and awaiting to be fixed? Does anybody know?
