Longshot

I like the aspect of flying. During the day t is ok but at night... how is that supposed to work ??? Even with NVG's you can see jack s**** and the only way to orientate yourself is the height meter?? No horizon, no radar no other instruments??? Is there an addon or a patch??

Is it possible to use the CCTV system on the UH-1Y Venom? There are a few birds in game with optical systems (CCTV,FLIR) onboard... can u use them for better targetting/aiming?? Sorry, if this has already been answered, but I searched and found nothing!

very simple........ Make yourself the scout soldier with the laser designator and add 4 harriers (in flight) near your target area. Add also some enemy tanks.............. start mission.... use your soldier for lasing the intended targets.... the harriers now start a bomb run on that target........

@nikita320106 Thanks for the file but what do I do with it??

Yeah, great work! I would also like to implement it..... as I am new to arma2, I would also like to know where to put those files... anybody give me some advice?

@Sakura Chan That is exactly what I was talking about! I also had the feeling that the lights might be too bright! Is this the improvement through your "Non-Blinding Sun Mod"????????

I am also enjoying the flying in ARMA II, but I hope they don't take the challange out of flying choppers and planes with the next patch!

Cool guide, but there are some things in there which don't work in ARMA II. Maybe they will be modded in later.

The Kiowa will be get a FLIR soon, just like the UAV has. I am not sure about the cobra??

Thanks for that info.. So the "optics key" is the right mouse button??? Or what?? Which key???

Ok, so having a co-pilot doesn't change anything.... I switch to co-pilot/gunner position and I just have the normal "out-of-the-cockpit" view from the co-pilot, but I can't use the CCTV camera on the Venom or the FLIR on the Cobra or Kiowa in order to zoom in. Anybody got any suggestions??

I voted for the more realistic steering and flight model...... This game is just so cool, but ever better with the possibility of better flight moedel.

I am really tempted to buy a TrackIR....... everybody seems to be quite happy with. Do you guys only use it for flying or also for ground combat?

Hey I would like to join in on multi, coop games.... I am also new to ArmaII but learning everyday. So if anybody wants/ needs somebody I am happy to join! P.S I am in Europe, just because of the time difference

How do you switch to co-pilot ??

@JW Custom Thanks, that makes more sense than turning my brightness up.... as said... I already have blomming problems during the day. I will try later and report back.

Ok, if it is a brightness/contrast problem..... I will try it later... but I doubt it, as I already have the blooming effects from light coloured objects during the day... What I mean, that during night time I am not even sure if I am flying straight or not as I don't have an artificial horizon to orientate myself on..... I am just wondering how am I supposed to do a ground attack run, when I can't even see anything....... Could it be that I have the vanilla version and this NVG mod improves it??
