By the time arma 3 is released, the cost of a pc that plays it smoothly will only cost around 400$... My computer I'm about to build can run the recommended for a3++ already and only costed 850$ for everything.

And that's why I have 3 sets of arma? - besides we want to improve there stuff, not pay 50$ for a game we already have that they spend 40$ between the box/cd supplies/licenses/shipping and only 10$ for them to spend. Try thinking about where it's going before you say crap.

The reason we need to say this thread even though everybody knows the answers, is so that we basically go to BI instead of them coming to us. / make it known what we want. 3 things to realisim factor, 1. hovering in place too long creates a vacuum and you start to fall.. (I.E. No more air under your wings). 2. Fuel and weight usage = more power you use, the faster it goes down, the more weight on your aircraft the more power required to lift or do actions. (as as altitude) 3. Advanced lift - you can only attach vehicles/equipment that are witting the limits of the aircraft. / perhaps a new lift system.

Ah okay, thanks scruffy. @jade- while out of the vehicle, scroll with your mouse wheel to open your menu. Then scroll down to 'Show Status' and try messing around with a few of those options.

Thanks for the help you guys, but one more question about AI.. now after doing boot camp I have trouble getting them in that format where you create waypoints. (the blue squares etc) On the boot camp it already has them set up and teaches you how to use em... but not create the setup. Like it says hit "ctrl+spacebar" it works on the tutorial, and yet it doesnt even when you have them split area's + colorteams. Thanks, Bez

Is their a way I can group the AI in my command? I.E. group 2-3-4 into team 1, and 5-6-7 into team 2... (basically a squad within a squad) that moves as 1 unit.

Cheers and sorry, must of missed that section :P P.S. Nice name lol

Just got the game, finishing installing OA+british then patches right now, was wondering if you guys could give me a heads up on things to get (mods++) to be able to join mostly any server? And which site is preferred to find a list and/or download. Thanks, Bez ~Hopefully see you on the battlefield!!! Any teams recruiting? As an FYI any suggestions on which teams would be good, or if you are a team do you have an open slot for a Sniper or Pilot? (can shoot anything, and fly anything).. I also have a mic, and although I might of just started Arma series, I have been playing war games (and the demo for over a week blasting away and having fun on the custom player maps) sense a month of the release of battlefield 1942. The learning curve is nice :), but other than adjusting the controls and learning the mouse I'm basically up to speed. But yeah... I understand that this is more of a simulator rather than shoot or be shot, and thats why I'm playing it :), plus playing games to me get really boring and tiresome when your alone, team play + intense and deep strategy is my style. Sorry for the essay, happy killing, and thanks!

First off, just got done playing the demo, and waiting on my paypal transaction from my bank so I can buy, and play this beast! :) But looking around I have found very little information on the 'scale' of combat this game is... Is it a game that takes hours and numerous operations to take 1 base or minutes? Is it a game where you can get in a plane and fly for hours in 1 direction? How big/long is the map? How many players can join a server? Also I have been looking for a game like this for years, and yet this is the first time I have come across this which was by a friend on xfire who I use to snipe with on 1942 years if not a decade ago :P. In that, instead of depending completely on Bohemia to produce. Why don't the players themselves get together and try to make some storylines? I know I will after I finish with this current project on my belt.

Thanks for the speedy and in depth reply's, as well as the warm welcome. It did answer all the questions, so hopefully in a few day's (wish it was now X_x) I'll be seeing you guys on the battlefield! Good luck, and god speed!
