You need to remove mouse entrys from controll settings. I assume You have a joystick?

There are people trying to get arma choppers flyable with toh model in toh: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?133427-Community-Helicopter-Initiative-MOD-(CHI)/page2 I am also trying, but no luck so far.

NVM I give up after two days of trial and error. Maybe I picked a bit too complicated model to begin playing with.

Hello Yura! First, I'd like to mention I am just amazed that such a great quality models exist for Arma. I come from sim community, I wasn't into arma helicopters because of physics. I have a question for You- would You mind if I repacked Your PBO, and modyfied config.bin so the helicopter can be flown inside Take on Helicopters with it's advanced physics? I wouldn't change anything but config, everything else including documentation and credits would remain intact. I am sure it would be greatly appreciated by many. Please let me know here, or by PM. Have a nice day!

Hello. It is just my opinion- we are very likely to get everyhing toh has (including helicopter physics) wit arma 3, plus extra content. I know- we bought toh, so we want more, but from my personal point of view; forget toh, give us arma 3 community alpha already;)

Too bad it's not happening. A big waste IMHO...

Install the newest TOH patch, the rest will be done by the game itself.

Ok, so I wanted to do it myself. I cannot find LittleBirds PBO/ config etc. Next try would be Huey- I thought of using simly Medium heli and then run it with just one engine on. I couldn't find Hueys PBO either, but I downloaded separate mod consisting of repaint and whole PBO. I opened config, and wanted to copy values from UH-1Y published here. Now I cannot open config from UH-1Y as I get an error opening PBO with ARMA PBO VIEW (I run win8 and cpbo doesn't work for me). Could anyone please upload UH-1Y config so I can use it as a base, or if anyone has done Huey already- whole package would be even better. Thanks! EDIT: Hello. Is there any way to hide that hud on uh-1y with toh physics mod? It is possible with "hud off" option in arma, but in toh I don't have such selection on action menu anymore. Also, in mi-8 I get following error making engine startup impossible: no entry "config.bin/CfgVehicles/Mi17_Base/"RotorLibHelicopterProperties.maxBatteryCharge"

You may have Hsim if You installed other physics alteration. I never had it in a "stock" TOH.

Hello guys. I am interested in making OA littlebird flyable with TOH flight model updated by Fred Naar (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?145171-Advanced-Flight-Model-based-on-HTR). How exactly do I do it? There are some configs that need to be modified. Where do I find them? Thanks for help! EDIT: Where do I find Littlebird file? It seems to be absent from airx.pbo files...

Just put it there and run the game, that's it!

Thank You Fred! Have a nice day! EDIT: I started to search some info on using Arma models with TOH physics, and here is what I found. Basically... It was actually done to some point! Here is link: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?133427-Community-Helicopter-Initiative-MOD-(CHI)/page4

If it stays then it seems to be damage indeed. No idea why it occurs if You fly it properly. I remember experiencing it in Story mode when flying for PMC, and also after getting shot upon couple times during Return to Shapur sp mission, but the first one was scripted, and second was actual damage. Otherwise sorry, cannot help.

There is a turbulence effect implemented in TOH, however it is very likely just random thing as far as I can tell.

Fred, You medium heli physics are even more amazing than that for light heli! I remember being nothing but flustrated with how medium behaved before, now with Your mod it actually is fun to fly!!! THANK YOU! Just one thing I've noticed- I am not sure if it isn't actually realistic, but while I am slowing down helicopter just drops onto the ground upon putting collective fully down pretty much no matter how fast I am flying and how much cyclic I apply. Now when I think about it I can imagine it could cause some problems with autorotations? And one more thing- (I can do it myself if I get some kind of instructions) just as with light heli- if I own TOH with reloaded patch, and Arma 2 Arrowhead is it any way to make default littlebird, or let's say Huey use advanced TOH physics? I don't like these fictional frames even if they have switches default arma models lack...

I am going to try it tommorow. Did BiS contact You? Also I have another question- is it possible to make default arma 2 littlebird use Your improved physics in any way in TOH? Thanks

Hi I personally have no idea who should You contact (apart from simply making a thread http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?59-BOHEMIA-INTERACTIVE-GENERAL), but I am sure that guys from BiS are here on the forums. If no one contacted You so far, I guess they are not interested. HOWEVER there is a 3rd party WWII shooter based on this engine. Maybe they'd be interested in a commercial module (I am not sure what's Your approach- freeware HTR like, or a completely separate product/ full feature addon). BTW Developing a proper heli sim within Bis engine would benefit VBS. I know for a fact, that there is a need for such capability. I helped to evaluate options for merging VBS with external helicopter sim due to lack of possibility to use VBS with fully featured helicopter simulator.

Thanks

Guys I've been "away" for a while. Any news regarding advanced helicopter physics in Arma 3? I remember it became unconfirmed as feature a while ago- anything changed? Thanks.

EXACTLY! For me TOH was the biggest dissapointment ever! If I wasn't into helicopters so much I'd have given up on it long time ago. Now with Freds physics mod light heli can by flyable, still nowhere near xplane 10. That's such a shame that Arma engine which is great for heli sim never got a proper use of it. I appreciate BiS take on this genre, but if they'd listen to Fred Naar and Nightstalker and cooperated with them at the beginning, we'd have 100s of mods by now, heck I believe TOH could eventually replace FSX to some point. It could even compete with awesome x plane 10 (No, really if we only had proper phycis, rest would come surely). Too bad this game is pretty much dead now (with heli4hire being only light in the tunnel)... I have just finished Return to Shapur mission flying it in sp (no one to play mp with) and it was great time. It could be even better if there were guys from Hovercontrol to fly with...

Hello. I din't fly toh for a while now, but after trying this physics, I am hooked again. Awesome job! Fred, do You think You could make an external phycis module such as fsx htr for toh, or arma in general? I am asking because this engine has a lot of potential gameplay wise, with proper physics it can be a lot of fun. For our needs we don't need whole globe map, so the only issue are the lack of atc (can be probably made with mods), not single helicopter with complete systems simmulation (can be done with modding) and poor weather engine (stuck with what we have). However if we accept to overlook these for now we can have something to play with. Not to mention upcoming Arma 3.

BLOODY HELL! Need to reinstal TOH ASAP!

Great question!

If helicopter physics won't be updated to at least toh standard, I am so not buying Arma3. And I have bought all BiS product so far.

Finally running landing can be done with light heli! Now how about raindrops on the windshield in next updates, BiS:)?
