Dear BiS I agree with Fred. I'd preorder TOH instantly if only I could try it's physics just to make sure it's gonna be a proper sim. Thank You Sam

I wish for raindrops and working wipers, snow conditions with freezing and dynamic rotor splash sound (like in fsx's dodo). Sam

LOL Sam

Cmn if they called it "Barbie goes shopping" i'd still buy it. After You install the game it's all about flying after all! Sam

Question answered in official FAQ. Don't worry about models- modders will give us everything we need, and more. Sam

Dear BiS thank You for being AWESOME! After reading FAQ I got to respect BiS even more. TOH is looking so much better than I expected. They even quoted my question answering it lenghtly. A BIG THANK YOU BIS! Sam

@Maruk Thank You very much for Your answer. It explains everything I wanted to know. Much appreciated, Sir! Sam

Could You please comment ficional chelicopters models? I think it is one of the most discussed topics here. Thank You! Sam

Adammo worte "mod", not "DLC";) Sam

But You have many guys who don't really belong to Arma community here (they seem to be the one You are refering to I guess). BIS is going to need flight sim enthusiasts imput if they want to go for a flight sim as it is different from what they were doing so far. This is what I believe anyway. I have never made any game, so I might be wrong here. Sam

@4in1 This is exactly what is going to happen, no need to write obvious. BTW there is nothing wrong with such discussion, as it gives developers insight into community's point of view. @BoboCZ Unles that picture shows another hybrid chopper lol Sam

@EricM 1) You got the point here actually. I somehow forgot about cars names in Arma. We can only speculate here I'm afraid. 2) I am sorry if my previous reply sounded offencive, I understood "archetype" concept of Yours and I was using quote not to make it look silly, or anything! I still believe that they're limited models of helicopters in real world, no need to mix them together to make it look like ultimate light/ medium/ heavy chopper concept. Actually six models in each category is more than enough for most of us (it takes time to master even one after all), so why doing 6 mash ups instead of 2- 3 realistic models? It just doesn't make much sense to me. Anyways for me personally model accuracy is an issue only coz it makes me doubt BIS approach to realitic aspect of the game. Hell I will personally try to learn a 3d modeling program if no one is going to release proper Seaking for TOH! (I kinda of drifted off the topic here I guess) 3) Well I have no idea I was using "reductio ad absurdum" but it made me feel smart for a second ;). Anyways as I just wrote I hope it's a licence issue, not a sign of developers approach to TOH. But I'll repeat You "we shall see...". I have high expectations, maybe I'm to picky about some things. Cheers Sam

Once again- were Arma models licenced (coz they are pretty damn accurate)? Somehow FSX payware and freeware addons developers release proper models w/o licence for years now- if licences were an issue; we'd hear about it at least once. Why is each chopper supposed to represent "archetype" (is it Your opinion, or is it based on any of interviews)? They have three main gropus of helicopters (basically based on their weight/ size) and each gropup is going to be represented by COUPLE of helicopters- are they all going to be "archetypes" of each gropus? It seems not logical to me. No offence here mate, but it looks like a really .... excuse to me. Why not make 2d graphics then? The more You try to make good graphics the more people will be "nitpicking last 0.1%"! Why would they care about audio, physics, performance, accuracy of models (ow, wait). Don't You think it's better if it is 0.1% people complaining about one screw modelled 1mm wrong than 99% saying "wtf is wrong with that chopper; it's all messed up! If they spend time making accurate Seattle map, why would they make such mixed- up models! Wait I get it- they shouldn't have makde accurate Seattle, because the more they try, the more that 1% is going to complain. Sam

Well I live next to Czech Republic:) I'm just waiting for some serious simmers opinions on current version of TOH. Sam

I agree with nightsta1ker all the way. It is still the only thing we know about game that makes me think if it is really going to be a good sim. BTW was it mentioned in any of the interviews so far? If not maybe developers could elaborate on it? Sam

Lol You're actually right. Sam

I wish for SeaKing to be included... Sam

I really hoped for working mirrors. BIS You rock! Sam

O_O Awesomeeeeee

+1 And if cockpit share would be included... Sam

I would say making fictional models for a simulator makes a bigger reason to complain and they had to realise that. So my guess is they maybe didn't plan to produce a simulator at the begining and thougt no one will complain. They seem to have changed their mind fortunately for us:yay: Sam

We would also use working mirrors to help us keep an eye on what's going below a chelicopter. Terrific video btw, thank You for sharing it! Sam

I would rather like full blown realistic physics with option to tune it down for keyboard and mouse so anyone is pleased.

Nightstalker mentioned looking out of the window feature before, I think copilot's guidance would be nice as well (look at 1:49, but watching whole episode is recommended) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb43t0tEtgQ&feature=related
