50 pound backpack or not, bullets at your head will make your run. I agree with the poster. And if you don't believe me, look at youtube of some English lads in Afghanistan, they run and move quickly! It is like all vehicles in this game, they just to be tuned down in the speed department. Ashame in my opinion. I do think if you would apply a more speedy explosion when fired at should have a bar which limits its use. Wondering if they beta tested different speed settings?

Lol, it is better than the Vanilla Arma 2 maps. Alot better! Sharani is not empty, mate!

Hi guys, I just bought a Saitek Cyborg X joystick and I tried to configure it, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly? And to be honest this is my first attempt to play with an actual joystick. Could some of you Helicopter aces share your settings? What is the difference between left and left banking for example? Any helicopter vids which show how to fly an attack helicopter?

tajin is working on something, and although it is later on his list to do, he already got something running without replacement textures. There is a thread about it. Have a look, I'm still getting into this whole scripting thing, but give it time and it will come. Grtz

I think it has nothing to do with arcadey. When bullets whistle around your head you get a spurge of engergy. It would be nice to see the soldiers alittle more agile in that regard.

also not by some fancy coding or scripting. BIS, please confirm this. That game is 10 years old, please tell me that this modern engine is capable of that.

It is defenjtely possible, but to do it in a simple non-invasive manner ‚ that will be the challenge. Tajin is on it, but it will take some time.

Port ain't that special, still looks great :-), added a fly by on Sharani, problem with these vids is that Fraps almost cuts your fps in half. Running fantastic here. It feels like Arma 2 should be straight out of the box.

A helicopter fly by would be better, and all on very high, that gives a great impression! Here is a fly by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk_V80kIAa4 Due note that with recording software the guys use to get it on youtube their fps will be low. But trust me, running at 1440*900 everything maxed out and get >60fps at a viewdistance of 5000 meters!

Trust me, your jaw will hit the ground as how good it looks and smooth it runs :)

Hi mate, It is quite simple, here is an even simpler method as opposed what is mentioned on the website for those who are not soo computer literate: 1. Make one folder in your Arma 2 directory with the following path: Arma 2\@CAA1\Addons 2. Download all files stated on the website into this folder (there are 50 in total) 3. Install winrar to unzip all files 4. Ctrl A to select all files and right click and hit extract files 5. Add the following to your Arma 2 shortcut, by right clicking the shortcut -> properties and in the target box add: -mod=@CAA1 (behind "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" ) That is it! Trust me it is well worth it!

As Kju said, it takes abit of a download (2GB), but hell it is soo worth it!!!

I'll have a look at it!

Looks good, mate!

Please do so!

Looks good except for the straight rotors.

Search the forums, many have the same issues as you have.

Thanks, Pufu!

Hi Lads, If I would like to have a target view focus as you have in flight sims, meaning that you press a button and you see the locked target in 3rd person view and can spin 360 degrees around it. Does such a script already exist? If not, what should I do to create it? I'd like it be general and only for singl player (my own missions), so no matter if your playing in a vehicle or not. Appreciating your help. Thanks!

In this case I think you as a player could decide if you want it or not. I'm talking about your own missions. Having it always available doesn't mean you need to use it. Why limit it to vehicles? Every time a new addon is released with FLIR capabilities a new update of this addon is required. It doesn't make sense. If you want to play realistically when always available then only use it when the vehicle has the capability, if you want to play for fun allow the people to use it, wheter realistically or not. For example alot of guys play as pilot and would like to have this option, normally they have a hud which allows them FLIR capabilities in the cockpit. Due to the lack of such huds, this script would allow the pilot to enjoy what he normally also would have in real life. If you allow it only for the gunner, it is far from realistic. Point is, make it available and as with Alcohol, use it wisely :D, it will need no future updates and therefor is a better addon. Or you want every future addon to be hardcoded in a new version of this addon?

Come on, thanks , I have my answer, still have a headache from yesterday and you guys are not helping there ;-) Appreciating the answers!

How does one lock onto soft targets (personel) when flying the helicopter? I can only target vehicles. Is there a way to target soft targets when flying a helicopter either by vanilla or script? Update: I'm talking about the gun. More specfic, ordering your gunner to pick a soft target.

Please make the FLIR optional whether or not you are in a vehicle or not. Restricting it to vehicles makes no sense and limits its use. Just make it an action to turn on or off. Also, make it possible to save your FLIR setting after adjusting as the default ones are no good to get the optimum effect. Otherwise great addon.

Listen mate, you are a bit arrogant, aren't you, lol? Just think alittle before you state things! I have a gunner in the front of me, not? I could command him to lock on a soft target, not? Christ, it is early morning, be abit more forgiving :D

Hey mate, How? The tab does not work. Do you need to be close? I'd like to be able to lock on from a few hunderd yards at least.
