I think the basic concept of this is really good, but Operation Arrowhead will bring most. Although 100$ per feauture is way too much, mate. In my opinion it should be a max of 10$.

I think it states new simulation features - Huds for aircraft (plane/helo). They wouldn't be new, now would they, if they were already in the game? And no, I'm not talking about a simple texture res upgrade. Maybe you're reading too less in it...We'll see it somewhere in 2010. Better think positive :yay:

Hi Wolle, Did you have a hands-on? If so, could you tell us alittle about? For that matter, Wolle, what means new simulation features for aircraft huds? Could you elaborate on that?

It stated in the Q& A: new simulation features like FLIR, mounted flashlights, HUDs for airplanes and helicopter and even more.

I like the idea, but Arrowhead will bring alot of what we wanted....

Have a look at the Apache cockpit picture, working HUDS, meaning RTT

No, I'd like this to be the video thread...:D

All I gotta say: Wolle for president Thanks, mate, for answering those questions! And I'm glad BIS is bringing all I wanted!

Read the Operation Arrowhead thread and jump up and down, I knew it, FLIR and......HUDS: :yay:

Pure hope, Pufu. Pure hope!

I thought the same thing. Maybe a short developer vid. That would be nice! BIS show me the money :D

Just wondering, it looks like it is worth a small hit, but it it would say take anything above 15% and other mods also taking its toll....well, you get picture. I can only state that it is really impressive work sofar, and adds to the immersion factor :icon_eek:

I like it alot, but what is the fps impact?

Maybe, if Operation Arrowhead brings us a render to texture feauture.

Hi Lads, Let me start off by stating that I love Arma 2. And alot is implented quite well. But, after countless hours of playing I start seeing things, which destros the immersion of feeling the stress of being in a war zone. I miss the immersion factor on the in-game weapon systems, I'm talking about the vehicles, it is so tuned down. And I'm sorry to say it, but it feels Battlefield like. All one does is: Press tab to acquire target, F to select a weapon and left mouse button/joystick trigger to fire......It could be soo much more....... I'm just missing hud interaction for the airacrafts and armored vehicles.....Really it feels like a missed oppurtunity :( And then there is the damage models and ballastics......I'll give you an example: While flying the AZ-H1 I have a Hellfire locked on a truck target, I fire, the Hellfire ejects and flies to its target. To this point it is okay, but then we come to the point of Impact. Well,.........It is sometimes just soo offputting....( have a look at some youtube videos of how a hellfire's point of Impact is in real life....this is not reflected in Arma 2 at all. Sometimes people survive, other times there is nothing left of the vehicle ) My problem is that in Arma you see the Hellfire fly to its traget, smoke, ....and then you see the actual switch of the model from truck with wheels to a black truck without any wheels and some fire starting. Over and over again. It is always the same. You don't have that feel of Impact...and sadly seeing that same black truck model without wheels starts feeling repetitive :(. Shattering the illusion of a simlike game....It starts feeling more like Battlefield with more realistic looking troops/vehicles and a different AI system :( But still Battlefield..... I think this is clearly one point which simply needs more balance and improvement. What do you all feel about this things?

Well, that is debatle as some things need to be surported within the actual engine, but I guess that is their approach. I would certainly pay for a good bugfree full featured game. That is mostly because of its sand-box nature.

That is an interesting viewpoint, which would make me think that if BIS were to make a modular approach to the game, it could actually work. That is, if it is a pure business decision. I'm wondering how many people would pay say 100$ extra to see everything included and bugfree. I would.....what about you all?

I hear you,....

They advice you not to use the gfx card settings in the gpu driver setup.

Thank you for your reply. Well, isn't it time then to search for some solution? If the demand is that high? Why doesn't BIS incorporate it? Etc, etc.... But to be honest, that is not point of this thread. I'm just wanting to know what the other people feel. In my personal view it is a valid flaw of the current game, even if the other elements of Arma 2 are great. If you have a solid base covering 85%, why not try to shoot for a 100%? Like stated earlier above I could imagine BIS going the VBS 2 route, adding modules, as tastes also differ.

Thank you for your extensive reply. After reading your post I agree to some part....in the sense that I don't expect a Free Falcon like simulation for every aircraft/vehicle in the game, but what I would like to see is somewhat of a simulation, using the actual techniques in the field. It is a simulation game after all. BF BC has some incredible destruction effects, I agree, which will get only better with BF BC 2 and BF 3. Although the BF BC series is laking in complexity, the destruction effects do create more feeling of war stress and general immersion. Makes me wonder if BIS could make it modular, what I mean with that is, create some additional addon code one needs to purchase. Like an extension for the more sim like gamer? If cost where an issue, alittle bit like the VBS 2 route.

I also have a MX518, beta is unplayable, the mouse literally jurks around. I have no issues with the normal patch.

Come on, this can't be serious. The show started, yesterday and if the guy needs to ask all this Questions.....??? Just make some vids to show some highlights....

Lol, I had no problems, but the BETA just introduced serious mouselag....

Just tried the BETA and it induces mouselag, they apperently removed the smoothing option, test the BETA and it can get worse, I have no problems running the normal release.
