  1. Smurf does that mean Steam workshop doesn't support Arma 3 Mods? or they just haven't been uploaded to it yet! I too would rather use steam workshop for mods and missions as it eliminates more work for me to keep things up to date as well as programs to use for that exact purpose. Not that I dislike Play With Six, it just makes it easier for me. Unfortunately my health is very poor and I am on very strong medication to cope with daily life. It makes simple things very challenging and just playing the game is difficult for me.. LoL.
  2. I might be blind but I could not find anything about benchmarking in Arma 3 like there was an ARMA 2. Does anyone know if they plan on adding benchmarking to arma 3. I would like to run the benchmark and put up my system specs and results to compare with others. Cheers.

    Audio stutter/Popping?

    yup the same thing happens to me. It only takes 2 or 3 people shooting max and everything sounds like a popcorn maker being eaten by a lawnmower! :(
  4. hmm. that does not seem to help. I've never had this problem with steam before and any of the Arma Games. I see that there is now a "ARMA 3 - ALPHA TROUBLESHOOTING" forum. Could a Moderator please move this to the proper forum for me and I hope someone can help with this issue. As it stands the game is almost completely un-playable for me. I am also unable to change the keybinds in the options. Is this a bug? or simply not an option that is available at the moment? ---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ---------- I have fixed the issue and it appears that it is NOT a bug in the game but rather a conflict with windows. I am including the fix information here as apparently this happens frequently with steam and windows vista/7. Link: Steam Support Click On This Link

    Flight dynamics (important issues)

    Nightstalker I sent you a Private message. Could you please respond to it (it was sent a week or two ago) and good job on everything guys! Looking forward to testing it out when I am feeling better!
  6. Are you using a joystick? If yes, Is it plugged into a hub? or usb port on your PC? If yes, maybe your loosing power to that usb port/hub (happend to me once a long time ago on another game (plugged in joystick through a usb hub. Hub lost power or didn't have enough power and my stick kept loosing its connection. This caused it to loose its mapping in the game... Actually.. that may have been in ARMA 2). maybe?
  7. Has anyone figured out how to change the position of the camera or flir? I purchased it for my helo but I don't seem to have any control over it. However it has automatically locked on to a ship I am following (via career mode mission). I checked in the controls but found nothing.. so I am a little confused :( Either that or because I am so tired and ill (sick) its just not clicking in my brain :( Cheers
  8. rgr. Upon further playing, it seems to automatically (while in pilot seat) target objectives when near to them. Going to check into the copilot seat and see if it can control it as well. thanks for the tip.
  9. I've been sick for the past couple of weeks (flu) and then I was (un)lucky enough to get a shitty case of food poisoning a few days ago that I'm still trying to get over. Maybe food poisoning was a bad choice of words. In the past week I apparently developed an allergy to nuts. I did not know that you can just develop an allergy to something you were never allergic to before.... Learn something new everyday. Now I shall go to sleep and wait like the rest of you... Hopefully tomorrow I'll be well enough to play both TOKH and Arma 2. If not, sadly Arma 2 will have to wait. Going to get at least 1 hour in on TOKH! Okay.. done rambling useless crap.. Just excited to try out the full version (like the rest of you) as I've not been able to play the pre-order very much due to the above stated crap. Cheers!
  10. kinda hard to work on a mod or decide what mod to make when the game hasn't been released and nobody really has any idea what the game will be like tomorrow in its release state except the devs. So common sense would make me say "No." However, I am nobody so does that mean I have any idea? Hmmm.. good question (mine that is) :P On a more serious note, there are probably no mods or anything planned at the moment except possible some ideas kicking around in peoples minds. But like I said above, it would be hard to plan anything (re-donk-u-luss) with out seeing how the final game looks (Minus of course the many patches and improvements post launch that BIS seems to support their products with). One thing I am certain of though, if sales are good I bet there will be an expansion! :D

    Boxed Version

    So you expect BIS to pay for you to download the software and then pay to send you a boxed version as well? Pretty sure that won't happen. Maybe if you were willing to pay a lot more it would make sense. Otherwise their profit margin would drop down if they had to do that (cost of bandwidth to give you a copy right away, cost to ship a specialized boxed version to you etc). Just doesn't make sense to me, but who am I, a nobody :P Edit: No disrespect meant either! Just stating the obvious

    Release time of ToH

    This has been answered already. http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2044064&postcount=37 Same link as above, except its for the whole thread http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=126139&page=4 Cheers

    Throttle Question

    What flightsim-cockpit do you have? (Curious)

    Swat mission

    you need to bring up the mouse wheel menu and tell them to drop the rope and then make sure your hover is around 7-9 meters.
  16. That would be great! I agree with you completely but then why state that they would be releasing a few patches during the beta time, unless its meant as some time of reward for pre-purchasing the game maybe(insert question mark here - my keyboard is not working properly). Thanks for the info ;-)
  17. Please don't smack me for asking this but we are now 10 days in on the Beta with the full game being released in 13 more days. Could a Dev please comment on the following question(s) if allowed. In another thread (unable to find where when searching) I remember a Dev mentioning that yes there would be a few new beta releases before the game is released on the 27th of Oct. So I was wondering when this was going to happen as we are almost halfway to the release date and there has been nothing about a new beta release and I find that weird. I've done beta testing for other software gaming companies and they always had incremental beta releases for the beta testers. Cheers!
  18. No, not impatient MadDogX. I also know that its not as simple as pushing a button, I was simply asking about something that was mentioned. As we were informed, As mentioned above, they intend to provide some patches to the Beta before release. So I was simply asking about it as we are almost half way through the time before its intended release. That does NOT make me impatient like you stated it simply means I am staying on top of whats been told to us. yup, I know, closed betas are usually different then open betas, like the use of Non-Disclosure agreements etc. I was simply stating my experience with participating in beta testing and how it was done. No disrespect meant in my reply ;) EDIT: Forgot to say thanks for finding the post for me when I was unable.
  19. it may have the sling but the missions end after 1 trip and you have to start all over again. hint hint.

    Controlling the Aircraft

    I recommend the Logitech G940 (100%) as I own a set myself. It is very easy to program profiles for it, the Force Feedback (FFB) on the joystick is very customizable and extremely powerful depending on how you adjust its settings. FFB Settings: Overall Effects Strength 0-150% (Off/Weak to Extremely Powerful). Spring Effect Strength 0-150% (Spring forces generated by FFB games). Damper Effect Strength 0-150% (Damper forces generated by FFB games). Plus the ability to Enable/Disable the Centering Spring as well as adjust its strength between "0 to 150%". This gives you the ability to adjust the strength of the FFB in many ways from no force feedback to very little or make it so you need arms like He-Man to move the stick! The throttle can be adjusted for two separate engines (not sure if the three mode switches also work for the throttles, I am going to test that out sometime). I love it and I previously owned a Saitek X52 (non-pro version) and I really liked it until the Stick sensors stopped working and you cannot center it anymore or even get it to move too the right (sorry for rambling). Good luck in whatever Hotas system you end up getting!
  21. I agree with the Original poster! I would like to see something similar introduced into the game!
  22. @Original Poster By chance do you have a copy of the TKOH Beta? If yes, would you be able to release this for the TKOH Beta? I know that I would enjoy trying this out and I am sure there are others who would enjoy it as well.

    Cockpit features

    As I mentioned above, it happens to me but it doesn't seem to matter what my frame rates have been (when I have been able to play which hasn't been for a few days :(). In comparison with Arma 2 or, Arrowhead or Combined OPs, the cockpit for any vehicle or helo/airplane has NEVER disappeared on me. Computer Specs as follows: Intel Q6600 oc 3.2ghz 6gb ram nVidia 580 GTX Win 7 64bit 1920x1080 LG nForce 680i LT SLI mobo 650w Gaming PSU Latest Drivers and updates for everything as well.
  24. I can't seem to stop my self from thinking that you are not running on all cylinders. To get a Beta Key you need to PRE-ORDER the game. The Beta key that you receive with your beta download is also used as the key for the download you get when the game is released. So if someone gives you their beta key then they are essentially help you to pirate the game. As far as I know pirating of BIS software is illegal so I respectfully advise you to stop asking for a handout, take your wallet out, BUY your own copy and then you get your very own Beta Key, Beta Download and a warm fuzzy feeling inside of you. Happy Thanksgiving (well here anyways)!

    The Helo Cockpit disappears/reappears on me several time a minute. :(
