Maybe you already figured how to run game, but if not: You don't need to be programmer to run the preview, just don't run it by takeonhpreview.exe. After you install preview, shortcuts for running game should be created in directory example C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead , just click on it (don't know how its named, but will have TKOH icon).

Rain bug is seems to be gone, that's great. I really like third virtual gauge with lift force, it's really handy for me. In this build helicopter is not so wild for me, either I get to used to it or flight model is changed from last build. I like how helicopter hover near ground its seems to be more similar to first build. New sound is nice, I like it, but environment sound can be still heard inside helicopter, its odd when bird chirp is louder then rotor :).

I think that how arg hinted some more nusty weapons will be used in these wars. Timeseker mentioned penicillin, that either mean some biological warfare will be used, perhaps even we will have to use gas mask, or only antibiotics stop to work. Antipersonal mines (forbiden now) are confirmed by Ivan. Geneva convention and Ten rules of war was mentioned by timeseeker so I think we can expect severe and unscrupulous conflicts.

I've found week old Czechgamer.com interview with Ivan Buchta, probably not posted here yet. http://www.czechgamer.com/mix/369/Rozhovor-s-Ivanem-Buchtou-o-ArmA-III.html Strange, now it seems that interview is gone, in this case here is google cache. I got PM message from CzechGamer's Marek ÄŒejka that interview was deactivate by mistake :). I translated only some interesting Q/A with "new" information (I'm not quite sure what all we already known).

Yesterday I've found week old Czechgamer.com interview with Ivan Buchta, probably not posted here yet. There are some interesting questions. This answer is a little bit releted to your posts. Perhaps it will be related also to vehicles. We will have to wait how BI manage it. Maybe later I will translate more interesting answers. http://www.czechgamer.com/mix/369/Rozhovor-s-Ivanem-Buchtou-o-ArmA-III.html Strange now it seems that interview is gone :eek: , at 12:00pm it was online, maybe its only my problem. In this case here is google cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jmGvNHIHln8J:www.czechgamer.com/mix/369/Rozhovor-s-Ivanem-Buchtou-o-ArmA-III.html+arma+3+site:czechgamer.com&cd=3&hl=cs&ct=clnk&gl=cz&source=www.google.cz

From TKOH's Facebook: It looks really nice. I will need a new pc for the game to have all effect on. I wanted to wait a little longer for upgrade, but it would be waste of beauty :D. I'm not sure but seems that Battlefield 3 use similar effect for mountains. http://images.eurogamer.net/assets/articles//a/1/3/3/5/7/0/7/ss_preview_Battlefield_3_Screenshots_091.jpg.jpg

Here is nice comprehension tutorial for free camera, slow motion and so on. Hope this will help you. l2yDtL87q_c

Thanks. I tried it in Arma 2, in case that its only my pc problem and there is everything fine. I haven't devheaven account, so could you make devheaven ticket? only in case devs didn't notice it. Possibly it will not be necesary.

I can reproduced it. Once game crash when I was still at land' date=' sometimes game crash when I'm at air. ----------------- [b']Rain bug[/b] I have different bug. When start rain, my framerate is drasticly decreased to 8fps at Chernarus, Takistan, about 20fps at Utes, Capria. At Shapur and Desert map my fps is OK. Can someone reproduced it? Set weather to rain, you can speed up time. When rain start in my case framerate is decreased, after rain stop everything goes back to normal and I get 60 fps.

Thanks. It was really smooth fly and landings . And with music it is also nice relaxation video, almost hypnotic.

Here is my feedback on update. Landing and control is definitly more easy (with trim off). Now I can imagine that I will be able to do some task, not only fly without purpose. I don't know if its not only my idea, but what I miss now is bigger air cushion, I liked hover near ground and now effect is probably reduced but maybe it is connected with easy landing. Funny is that I try fly with pedals (only from logitech wheel), it was horrible experience, I get used to fly with only joystick and now it is more easier for me :). Also I try fly in Arma 2 and now its "terrible" experience, really boring. Now when BI spoil me with advanced flight model, new FM for Arma 3 is must have ;). What could be changed is that enviroment sound (bird singing, clock bell) can be hear inside helicopter(same problem like in Arma2), it would be nice if it will be corected.

This was a bit of a misunderstanding in the presentation, because TKOH will not be using PhysX. Our flight model physics are definitely new and way more advanced however. We also simulate new rope physics for things like sling load operations, winching and fast-roping.

Doupe.cz preview (czech) 1, 2 Some interesting new information: We will help oceanographer with whale observation (I hope that's not Japanese one, who whaling thousand pcs/year for scientific study :)). There will be NOTAR helicopter in the game, unfortunately no tandem rotor helicopters (possible DLC). Joris mentioned that helicopter can catch fire because insufficiently cool down engine. No new in-game pictures, but you can see TKOH's devs.

Todays impressions. I learn that my fly skills are every day better and better. Everything what TKOH need is training. To everybody who complain that control is not precise, I recommend set sensitivity for x,y axis to about 75%. Then you need drill, drill and again drill. Extended HUD is really helpful. You have to eye circle and try to get it to "volley". Initially I have to sometimes hold joystick with both hands, now I hold it with one hand, maybe joystick is more loose. You really need solid wrist for fine manoeuvring. Rest after longer fly. First try slowly fly on airfield, slowly turn machine, try land an so on. When you are fell more comfortable with helicopter. You can try something harder. For example I tried land in front of hotel at Chernogosrsk. First it was really difficult, I was happy that I "fell" there. Now this task is "quite" easy and I'm able to land on top of the hotel. Today I was able fly where I want and not where chopper want. I don't know how to describe it, but now I'm able to use helicopters momentum, it is like you gently kick it to opposite side and chopper do what I want (mostly :p). I have to compliment FM, dunno if it's realistic, but it's enjoyable, especially fly near ground is pleasure. I have not problem fly through forest path and even it's seems more easy then with Arma2 FM. Actually helicopter with momentum is more predictable and controllable. One thing I'd like to ask someone with flying experience, it seems that helicopter descent rate is too slowly, is it right? I summary it, to everybody who thought that fly is hard, train, train and again train, you will soon realise that it's gonna be easier. Even pedal is not necessary, I have only logitech extreme 3d Pro joystick and it looks like satisfactory for precise flying (I'm afraid that will not have long durability :)). I'm really looking forward to full game.

If you have Windows Vista/7 you already have dx10/11 and Windows XP doesn't have dx10/11. I think that dx10 requirement is mistake, game is only dx9. Only what you need is last DX package, which you probably already have.

My random flight and some crash at Chernogorsk :D. I slowly getting used to control helicopter. This is not my best flight, after an hour of flying I was quite exhausted :) and fly with so low fps (about 15) is really difficult. pMowai4qMv8

So my first impressions: First I tried fly over Chernarus from main airfield to north east airfield, somehow for third time I managed to get there, with no luck with landing :D. Then I tried takistan mission, after "few" try I get to landing era, there after 5 minut sweaty landing attemp I finally crash and died. So far I'm positive, I like it :). Next attemp tomorow or at night. I fly without trim with same Joystick like BI have on E3.

Eurogamer.cz E3 video http://www.eurogamer.cz/videos/arma-3-nahravka-e3-predvadecky I don't know if it was mentioned before. It was confirmed new really handy feature. Wind turbines automatically turns in the right wind direction. :D

In an hour I will have about 1 hour window for testing. I'm looking forward to it and also a little afraid of helicopter crashing :o. I can confirm that on computer without Arrowhead, preview is not working. I wanted to see menu :).

I like it . All post-rocks songs are great, but one must be in the right mood for it, they have tendency to be too slowly. I hava no idea how to hack this kind of music to the game, possibly during sunrise, sunset slowly fly. W_MAUURz-LE It can be good music for whale stalking :), if there will be some, I hope that picture with flying whale wasn't made without any reason. My 8bit music, it used to be my favorite chopper arcade game, that I want listen in south asian region (rather not ;) ). Better included more variety music, more songs, every music will became very soon boring. In game jukebox is great idea.

I think that DMarkwick mean, that Chernarus should work in beta, he doesn't see reason why not. Perhaps beta is compiled only for Arrowhead, that's my hope, I like Chernarus :).

From Dwarden facebook, twitter: Great! Does it mean that Arma2 world easy transfer to TOH (or TKOH :p) is confirmed? What about Chernarus, what does it look like? Dwarden should make another test. :) What was your fps? Max 1fps I think. Comunity preview(beta) looks promising, new approach for BI. I can dream that we will get Arma3 beta in winter (only for TKOH owner ;)).

Yeah that exactly what I do, annoy you :). Bis call it them self TKOH. even Maruk use it: So I don't know if it is right. I can use only TOH, if it is problem :).

Some explanation from new official TKOH page: I really don't care how they call it. :)
