Pitch, roll and thrust is no go. I can only use rudder and the rest of buttons available on the helicopters. I can use keyboard and mouse but I'd like to use the joystick if possible. Any ideas?

Thanks I'll try it.

It's possible to port some arma 2 vehicles into arma 3. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132663825#36638

When controlling the helicopter from the gunner's position and I want to use the FLIR camera, I can barely move the camera in any direction to aim on any target. To be able to control the FLIR camera I have to release the helicopter's controls and only then I can properly use the FLIR camera. I don't know if that's the way it's intended to be or perhaps it's not fully implemented yet. I find it very annoying because many times I like to use the gunner position while still having the control of the helicopter. I am using TrackIR, perhaps that has something to do?.

Hi, Near almost any town the game becomes almost unplayable, reaching 20-18 frames. When there are no buildings around frame rate is between 30-45 I have tried to change graphic settings from low to high and reducing the view distance to 1000 meters with no success and frame rate in towns remains always low. My computer specs

Tried that too, in fact I have been using them since Arma 2. Believe me, I wouldn't have posted it if I hadn't tried everything. My PC specs are in the first post. It's not a hardware problem or due to armor penetration calculations, because it doesn't happen that way. It's simply the game is not fully optimized. It's not normal the frame rate goes so down when I am near towns and changing settings don't seem to affect performance at least not that I can see a huge difference. To be honest, I am a bit tired of supporting developers, buying games that require higher specs than are officially said. I bought Take on helicopters to just realize I'd have to wait until I upgraded my PC because there is no way I can play it with decent fps. The problem here is not that I might not know how to configure my PC or that my computer is below the require specs, it's simply games like Iron Front, Take on Helicopters or Arma 2 are not meant for people who own mid range or average computers. And to be honest, I am tired of that. I think we customers are unprotected and when we just buy a game like this if it doesn't run on our PCs despite is within the requirements we just have one option. Upgrade our computer. Unfortunately I can't afford that and just buy a brand new CPU everytime. So please make games to be playable within realistic PC requirements.

Yes I did, but incredibly when I am near any town the frame rate doesn't change. I find it very disappointing. I have tried some new maps for ARMA 2 that never gave me any problem in fact getting 40 fps almost all the time. But in Iron Front the performance is unacceptable, specially my rig is a very decent one and is in within the recommended requirements. I pay €26 at steam and I am not able to enjoy the game. I am tired always the same story and once I bought it there no refund. Next time I'll wait for the demo.

Does anyone have stuttering with maxed out settings?. My computer meets the hardware requirements(I can ran Arma 2 without problems) but stuttering doesn't allow me to play it maxed out.

I have been able to fix the problem by doing an arma 2+Arma OA installation. Now the problem is that when I run the mission and try to add units or whatever I do I see a chat message saying access denied. I am running the game as an administrator and I have no idea why this is not working. ....Fixed

I have followed all steps http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13138 Installed Community Base Addons, Advanced Combat Environment 2 OA - Core But an ingame message pops up, so I can't edit the mission. http://img695.imageshack.us/f/arma2oa2011031021354610.jpg/ I have checked the ACE files and the file is there. No idea what's happening

Hi, Awesome addon but I just wondering if it would be possible to reduce the reflection from the glass canopy, sometimes it can be hard to see through it because of the reflection.

The file seems to be corrupted.

...Oh yes, I still keep playing Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising :D:D FPDR. Just kidding... I stopped playing OFP Resistance last year but despite the time still very engaging. A few months ago I tried JCove which is downloadable for free but right now I upgraded my PC with a decent graphics card and now I can play Arma 2 perfectly.

I think you should blame the driver. Because since you get lower framerate with a more powerful videocard unless you are using a different videocard configuration or using a different setup it doesn't make any sense. I have my 5770 and I get 40 on the field and 30-35 in cities. I am not sure but guessing maybe the drivers for the 5770 are ''better debugged'' than the 5970...just guessing, for sure the 5970 really is a monster video card.

I know if you want to post a youtube link you have to add that last code, but it simply didn't work to me in the first place. I sent the email to one of the many admins available. :) But the issue is already solved.

My brother has a similar computer. Visibility: 2600 Quality: Very High Interface: 1280x720 3d Res: 1280x720 Texture: Normal Vid Memory: Normal Anisotropic: High Anti-aliasing: Disabled or low (I didn't notice a big hit in the performance) Terrain: Normal Objects Detail: Normal Shadows: High Post Process: Disabled He runs the game very smoothly. But do not try to increase the resolution beyond 1280x1024 It may hit the performance.

Thanks for the thumbs up. ---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ---------- Very High is 1GB Vram, High is for 512 By the way can anyone tell me how many posts I need before I can post youtube videos. Because I sent an email to the admin asking it with no answer.

Hi, I have made some videos comparing the different graphic settings. Take a look to them. I have noticed that there is almost no difference from normal to high textures and anisotropic set to high helps a lot to improve quality texture. When I set textures to high or very high I got stuttering when spawning or there were many vehicles around me all of that despite I have 4 GB RAM and 1GB VMemory. Personally I have set my settings like that. Visibility: 2600 Quality: Very High Interface: 1920x1080 3d Res: 2560x1440 Texture: Normal Vid Memory: Very High Anisotropic: High Anti-aliasing: Disabled Terrain: Normal Objects Detail: Normal Shadows: High Post Process: Disabled My hardware: QuadCore 2.50 no i7 4GB RAM 800MHz ATI 5770 1 GB Most of the time 40fps, in cities 30-35 in some occasions 25. With those settings I play perfectly in every situation and even when things get busy. I leave you the link, I find them very interesting. http://s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad145/jt_medina/?action=view&current=Arma2OAcomparison.gif&newest=1 http://s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad145/jt_medina/?action=view&current=Arma2OAcomparison3-1.gif&newest=1 3bQDJIgLyU4 3bQDJIgLyU4 I hope you find it useful.

Hi, I made two videos comparing the different graphical settings on Arma OA. Unfortunately the video quality is not as good as I expected but some people could find it interesting to compare the different settings. mpaWdp-11Fc 3bQDJIgLyU4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpaWdp-11Fc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bQDJIgLyU4

I get an average of 13 frames in the benchmark 2. I have been analyzing when those framerate drops happen and I have been noticing problems with the lod switch in the cities, some visual effects like dust(incredibly it lowers my fps) explosions and the lods from the trees(which is a huge fps eater). I guess, just maybe the AI is using part of the CPU and it also creates some stuttering creating their path because as far as I know the AI creates their patch dynamically which it takes CPU. Try Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. It runs far better and it has less problems with the building lods in the cities. You are welcome

I never played campaign but I just tried it to see the framerate and I got during the battle at the ruins 25fps during explosions and 30-35 rest of time. During the speech at the carrier deck I got 30 and during a few moments 35, briefing room 35 with peak of 40 and after that outside while talking to the soldier 35-40. Try to close all unnecessary applications it may help. I have latest drivers and I end up with those graphical settings. [iM]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3127/arma22010070600374746.jpg[/img]

Well, today I bought an ATI 3D Club HD 5770 1GB and the improvement in performance is simply amazing. Quad Core 2 2.66, 4 GB, HD 5770 1GB. Settings high excepting antialiasing low and postprocess effects off. 1920x1080 almost 40-50 fps average and 30+ in cities. Simply amazing given I had a GT220 to run arma 2.

Hi, With regard to the Arma Arrowhead performance. I have a nvidia gt220 and before I had the official nvidia drivers and I decided to try with the forceware drivers from guru3d website. I have to say that still having trouble in cities but I can notice higher framerates in some cases 10 higher with same graphic settings. http://downloads.guru3d.com/ I don't know if that may help someone it just worked to me.

Is there any benchmark out there showing better framerate compared to ARMA 2?.

Thank you all for those quick answers!!, By the way. Does anyone know if there are tutorials about basic scripting?. just to create basic missions, like how to spawn something or basic script commands.
