I could only play the mission after I bought the camera as far as I remember... Maybe you can fly the mission without the camera after you bought it idk. I didn't use the camera to spot the boat. As you said the wake is perfectly visible from a distance. But I like the feature. Especially with the screen in the Heli.

I mean on the screen IN the heli not the PiP you can enable via action menu €: seems I was wrong. Sorry. €2: No I wasn't. as soon as the boat is spotted the camera switches to WHOT FLIR wtf?

You need the normal camera. FLIR doesn't work. Strangely the image on the screen in the Heli is a whot FLIR image ... I guess it's a bug.

Look for a fast moving speedboat ;) When you near enough you the FLIR is locked onto it.

Yeah, I had to restart the download^^ Very nice addon btw. One thing though: this spawns the helicopter 2m above the platform. Either use: this setPosASL [getPosASL this select 0, getPosASL this select 1, 2]; Or (works better): this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 0];

I see your point. I hope we hear from you again when BIS gives us the first patches/beta-patches with improvements/corrections on the flight model.

Thanks. I will try it out ;) €dit: can you give us better downloadspeed? I'm loading at 3,1kb/s and it's taking forever....

It's the same container ;)

Very simple solution: Buy a new graphicscard. You have the same that I bought for 25€ for my parents' computer. It barely runs Arma 2: OA (about 15fps max on takistan). Take On Helicopters is a bit more demanding than that. I'd go for a HD6850/GTX 460 or better.

Ok that's really weird. I didn't experience that at all. My approach was different though. I didn't come from the side, I flew from the stern of the ship to the container and I hovered a little higher than you over the ship. I tried to use PiP to position the helicopter. It's very difficult and most times I failed (crashed or had to do a new approach) but when I finally did it I really shouted out "YEAHHH!!!!" and my brother came in and asked if my football (soccer) team scored or something :D

I replayed the mission about 10 times but I can't reproduce this ... Without Auto-Trim it's a f*§%#)´ nightmare, true. It is extremely difficult but I somehow managed it after 10-15 attempts (I made a save before I approached the ship so I didn't have to replay the whole mission). With Auto-trim enabled it works fine most of the time. And when I fail it's because I made a mistake. But the container never jumps up or gets damaged after it is attached. The rope snapped sometimes because I wasn't careful enough on the collective but I never experienced what is described here :confused:

He doesn't shoot blanks. You can hear supersonic bullet cracks :) He doesn't seem to hit anything though. But then again I tried to avoid going heads on with the guy. I'm going to play this again to see if he can kill me :D

When you are near enough a progress bar will appear in the upper right corner. Once it reaches 100% there will be a radio message that the criminals have stopped and you can return to the Heliport.

Default unless you experience CTDs. PM in german send.

I'm sure it would make a difference in fps but it doesn't guarantee that you will get rid of the stutter. Defrag your HDD and see if it changes things. However I strongly recommend a SSD. Your graphicscard should be perfectly able to render good graphics. I don't experience any stutter (25-50fps) and I'm very satisfied with the graphics (see my specs in the sig below; game is installed on a OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD). My videosettings (Screen from the beta but they are the same now): http://abload.de/image.php?img=takeonh2011-10-1015-00h6za.jpg

If you fly near enough to the boat it stops and you can return to the Heliport ;)

I don't know what you are doing wrong. It's pretty hard but definately doable. Just make sure you slowly add collective. Also you should move AWAY from the other container.

I just found this: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3421600/1.html Some truly AMAZING screens there! Especially the ultra wide screens when you scroll down.

I honestly don't know. I have a simple Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. The first time I played the mission with Auto-Trim enabled. With Auto-Trim disabled it's a lot harder but doable. I did it on my third attempt.

After mastering the tutorial I really enjoy autorotations now. The mission with autorotation is awesome btw. I already replayed it several times.

Beautiful pics Macadam Cow ;) I shouldn't edit photos when I'm bored: EXTREME

Not too bad I think. I feel very uncomfortable flying in 3rd pers view on expert not to mention landing in 3rd pers view. I wouldn't manage that. I made a in the Beta where I flew around without any helpers and I menaged to land on the first attempt. It wasn't a smooth landing but the bird was undamaged. Considering it was one of my first attempts and that I don't have pedals (only a simple Joystick) it wasn't that bad.I'd be interested how your landings look in 1st pers view ;)

I'd welcome that too. It would be nice if you would actually need to shut down the engines etc. and get out of the chopper before the mission ends. The first memories are a bit boring but later on there is a mission that starts very slow but then gets really exciting in the end.
