well sidhellfire, if you dont like my thread feel free to leave and create your own... those are aircraft that are just my wishlist, and at least they are real compared to the death star crap you mention. i dont care if you think its not worthy or realistic enough for you... you dont have to mod your game on your pc but most of us like to make changes... I'd like it so i could write a mission like a group finished the project and completed the heli and your mission is to take it out blah blah.... this is what i want, my wishlist, feel free to add your own aircraft to the list but if you dont like mine or my ideas, to bad....

huh?? The commanche was a real life project built for the military with retractable weapons pods to limit its radar signature and a super quiet set of blades ... airwolf is just a bell 222 with a body kit and a bunch of fictional bs capabilities... dont get me wrong its cool but whats your point???

lets hope they dont do it like crytek did on the release of crysis.. they promised a beta and it didnt come out till after the game was released.. not that i cared, i was part of the beta... i think for a title scheduled to be released in less than a month there is way to little advertising/promotion... which makes me fearful of a delay...

I dont care if only two commanches were built... its a game... and i could write a mission saying the program was never cancelled, you have to fly in fast and stealthy to complete your primary mission blah blah blah and this is the only aircraft capable blah blah blah.... I want my complete list for various reasons lol...

why move it? cause the mission requires it... you the player wont know the range of every weapon..besides i could make the mission medical supplies, a fuel truck or fuel load, mobile KP, a humvee, a boat, or how about a pool table lol.. it can be whatever i wanna script it... i just want to know if its possible to do sling loads... how about a squad of guys in heavy wooded mountainous terrain where a helo couldnt land, but could drop a line and they all strap on and pull them out hanging by the line?

can the helos do sling loads where you can make a mission to pick up a tank or vehicle or supplies and drop off at specified locations?

sounds like the cryengine2 editor for crysis... you can drag and drop icons for sound efx like spray from a waterfall, flies, chickens, crabs, rats, crickets etc... along with effects like weather, rain, wind, tornadoes even....

having never played arma yet that video is bad ass... was that arma I or II Sabre?

as with most games there are commands you can enter in your console in dev mode to eliminate the huds etc for filming... ive done quite a few films for various games but sometimes i leave the hud in, sometimes i dont..

Ok, untill yesterday I had never even heard of arma... I was doing a google search for OH58D (the helicopter) because i fly rc helicopters (my site indyhelis.com)... I came across a web page for a oh58 conversion for some game called Arma... thought it looked interested and googled it for video and thought this was great... well that led me to Arma 2 and their site and after seeing the trailers I want it... Ive been around since the atari 2600 days and have done just about all the fps games but gave up on my battlefield series games nearly two years ago.. hoping they come out with something new soon... in the meantime i have been playing crysis and crysis wars... this game engine is second to none and the most realistic environments you can imagine... however, the game is hacked to death for online play, as the bf series has been as well.. so ive been waiting for a new game, a breathe of fresh air and i think i found it in arma 2 sooo my newb questions about Arma 2 since ive never played anything Arma related... 1) is there joystick support for aircraft? 2) will there be a map editor and/or mission editor? 3) when there are new maps made (in arma1) did mp have autodownloader or did you have to install it ahead of time before going online? 4) is there good server control/functions that allow kicks,bans, messages, map rotation etc???

you can do this in arma? paint a target for an incoming aircraft? this is gonna be such a great game..

nice box art and has the system specs too...

great review and the screenies look great.. was watching the guy parachute in one video and was wanting to see his landing to see if trees or buildings would tangle him and the video stopped just seconds before he landed lol.... dammit...

Fine with me.. this is what I want.. Which is one of the reasons why I never got into the call of duty games.. their mp maps sucked balls from being to small and every corner you turned you had a gun barrel in your face... no stealth to the game at all...its just spawn and start defending yourself... So just how large are these maps?

Ok, another newb question since i havent played arma1... how does the arma engine do at water detail and physics? can you swim underwater, can you knife fight under water like the old black hawk down days..? also, are the keyboard functions assignable to user preference???

Thanks... Im sure i will have other questions especially on where to buy this if they dont import it anytime soon...
