Tacklebait

The whole video is pretty damn sweet. I know there are so many factors that do not make this possible for a game that involves such a large world. Hoping there will one day be a game like take on helicopters with this much detail. At 2:22, the way the vegetation reacts to the rotor wash is absolutely mesmerizing!!!! It really gives that feeling of power that the helicopter really deserves! I know I'm dreaming, but another 10 years and maybe I'll be flying helicopters on my pc in environments similar to this tech demo!!!

It didn't like the USB ports on the front of my computer. Plugged it in the back and it's good to go! Weird... SOLVED....

Bah. I know this isn't take on related but I thought I'd this it on here anyways. Got this gem in the mail. Plugged it in ... Everything lights up.. Open up the calibration menu... The throttle works great but nothing on the flight stick registers... I've installed the 64 bit win 7 drivers. Ug.. Any ideas? Tack

Haha, the exact same thing happened to me!!!

I ended up running the game with a shortcut. Path "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\takeonh.exe" -mod=@testfm worked like a dream. I am enjoying the FM thoroughly!!! I'm not a pilot or anything, but everything seems more manageable and predictable. My approaches are much more accurate and hovering seems much easier. The softer ground effect is great! The one thing I have noticed though, there doesn't appear to be a throttle level that keeps me from gaining or losing altitude. If I'm hovering (outside of ground effect), I'm either going up or down slightly. If I have the HUD of the gauges on, the green bar on the throttle gauge will not go to half way (midpoint) of the green half circle. Its either slightly above the half way, or slightly below. Sometimes it will flicker back and forth between above and below the midway point.

So i installed it to C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Take On Helicopters\@testfm\addons do i need to run the game with certain parameters now? this is nightstalkers fm file right?

Can servers run this fm? An will it be adapted by who ever connects or will they have to have it in they're config as well?

So I'm curious, would Bohemia use user created content such as this improved flight model and include it in their own patch?

Anyone have a spare cap they want to sell? Or know of a place online they sell them. I know from experience I'll get frustrated trying to build one of these... Reminds me of when I Soldered a mod chip into a old Xbox of mine. I'm not very patient with small projects like this.

Yup those Are examples

Hah interesting... I wonder if the extended stem would give you much more control over hovering and such.... anyone do anything like this?

I was hoping someone could upload a video of the confined landing mission using track ir. I'd love to see how it's supposed to be done properly and how trackir would improve the ability to land. I've done it a few times with a fixed view forward.... Almost impossible!! But I've managed to pull it off without a steep approach. Thanks! Steve

Thanks for the vid! Great flying

It's a training mission

Anyway to make this possible. Kinda sucks not knowing who your staring at or flying with...

Almost all new games have this... Wonder why they didn't incorporate it in... Hopefully it's a easy addition

I'm looking for a setup that won't break the bank but will get me the most out of this simulator! I'm getting track ir 5 and Hoping to get pedals and stick for less then $400. And combo options you guys recommend? If it's cheaper then $400 the better. As well what features do the more pricey sticks get ya? Force feedback a good feature to have? Thanks!!!!

Installing now!

hrmmm I have the second patch installed... just reinstalled it for the hell of it and tried to connect.. still no luck! wierd ---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ---------- well i've tried.. running patch 1... and patch 2.. i open your sever.. its cuts to a load screen for 3 seconds and then a box pops up saying "Unable to connect". Must be another bug.. i'm running 1.01.85628 .. guess i'll have to wait untill release to get back onto your server.

Can't connect to your sever dirtydeeds... says unable to connect... i jump on the Sweden server which is running this map

Interesting... Not sure what to think about that!! Be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on it. Guess your not looking at it when your using it. Probably feels similar .

I was lookin at the saitek 65 pro, what is the whole pressure sensitivity all about?

And this will run me how much?

Thought I'd start a thread for forum members to touch base and game on. I'll be firing up the game here in 30 mins if anyone is interested in tryi g out some multiplayer. -tack Be warned I may crash a few times...

I have one hell of a time gauging where my skids are while landing. Especially with the massive dash of the 212. Any tips or pointers? (without trackir) As well, how does does trackir help the situation? Do you get a good feel of Ur helis position? Examples...
