ArmA 2 is awesome in all aspects of the game!
I love how they've included UH Huey and Mil Mi-24 Hind D, V & P!
However cockpit guages are very limited. The AI (attitude indicator) only shows the bank/roll (no pitch) of the chopper and also the VVI (VSI) doesn't work on most choppers or isn't included.
As all of you helicopter lovers out there would agree with me, if I were to suggest that Bohemia upgrade ArmA2 by including a full pitch+bank AI and a full working VVI. These are the only real guages needed for anyone really interested in wanting to fly as close to a real chopper SIM as possible.
The airspeed and Radar altimeter/Barometric altimeter would be all nice to haves, but are (A) not totally necessary for experienced pilots and (B) not needed anyway because of the digital reading in top left of display.
It all depends on the work being done to ArmA and if people see it worth updating. Personally I think it is. To have such an excellent game and not fix these small things would be such ashame! :eek:
If any changes were to be done in the actual flight of the choppers, I'd also say for the collective to be much more sensitive and adjust the chopper torque with more accuracy. Now we are starting to see the real use of the VVI... :bounce3:
I must admit, the VVI is tolerable in the Mi-8 Hip as was the UH-60 in ArmA (#1).
Other than that, for me, excellent work Bohemia!!
cheers
