In reality though, this isn't a game-breaker for me at least, but it takes away from the feel of authenticity and credibility attributed to the game. Even in something like battlefield 2 the flight model, while not being anything near a simulation, was not forgiving, you could stall very easily (speed stall). It felt you were flying a plane through air instead of butter. This is from a game that was first of all an FPS, so don't spew the "It's not a flight simulator" crap. Nobody I think wants Arma to be a flight simulator, but rather to give flying in the game a bit more feeling, there's no real immersion for flying, just climb to about 1000m and fly in a straight line to wherever you're going. Also, planes bursting into flames because they touched a bush is also extremely annoying. If I get hit critically I should (if I can't eject) be able to attempt a semi-controlled crash landing or at the very least ditch it in the water. Surely Physix can support this?

Well at least BIS tries to improve stuff, If this was EA or Dice we'd be screaming into a void. I remember that the TKOH flight model was supposed to be implemented in Arma 3, but that went with the troubles they got into during Development I think. Don't know how that would have affected Fixed wing though. To be fair I don't think they tested for a situation where someone attempted a backwards landing ;)

I laughed, yeah it feels the flight model hasn't been improved on since arma 2, and as someone who flies a bit for real, Arma 3 flying feels like flying in a vacuum, only gravity acts on you, no air resistance or stabiliser stalls, I bet you could fly that plane sideways, as long as you have enough altitude.

Very, Very nice. Any word on a pilot model with the Air corps Roundel? Also, would a low-vis Tricolour look good I would've thought "teh Rangorz" would've used them in their black role, or even on some of that urban camo. And pretty please can we have an AW139 or something?

Tony, you are a gent, I can't thank you enough, Yes I have been stupid and it seems I have another steam account, but I will have to work out how to access it.

Yeah Directly from steam ---------- Post added at 19:15 ---------- Previous post was at 19:13 ---------- I don't know, I have tried looking for a second duplicate account, but I can't find it. If I asked steam support how many accounts are registered to my IP could they tell me?

My steam name is

Yeah, I go to try and Verfiy, follow the steps, and the option inside Local files to do so is blacked out, ie I cannot click on it

So about 3 weeks ago I purchased Arma 3, was very happy as I have followed the series for a long time. I purchased it when it was still in the Beta stage. I went to play it, on one of the rare occurences when I get the chance, and it goes to do the 1.02 Hotfix. Now it tells me of an error, a missing "Executable" i.e the game will not update, so I did what steam said to try and fix it, deleting the .blob file etc etc, But this was by far not the end of my troubles. I sign into my account again, and on going to press the play button, It has been replaced with the "Purchase" button. Now, let me tell you, I can prove and I can assure you that I have legitimately purchased the game, and played it before. I have all the Arma 3 files and even the exe. on my computer's drive. The absurdity of having it say "Purchase" and "Last played - yesterday" Is bewildering. I have submitted a ticket to steam support, no reply after a day, and I have a feeling they will tell me I didn't buy it or whatnot. I know this is not an Arma 3 Problem per se, but does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? It would be very helpful. Thanks

Try searching for "Wasteland", no real objective other than to survive!

All this said, This IS the Armaverse, and we don't know exactly for sure what state the world is in. Iran may have the money and willpower to invest in computer intergrated warfare and hell, even be successful with it. What really interests me is how will the Iranian units have extra gadgets (to replicate the HUD in the Helmet) and other things that are the benefits of using their equipment, for example the can run further and get less fatigued because they have the AC units? Probably going to far with that one tbh.

I personally, after many years spent fighting assorted groups of enemies such as the Taliban, or the cong, or the Talicong, (My own wit excedes me) am sick of fighting a generic guy with a turban or otherwise. ( No offence BIS!) These new opfor units look just goddamned cool, it most important of all memorable! Once the novelty wears off there WILL always be a mod like ACE etc which will give us the chance to go to a modern day setting! The joys of having an excellent community!

Might apply to a niche market but what about an AW139 Heli?

Sikorsky Seaking? I know that they are old but they are a fantastic bit of kit and still used by many Armed forces around the world Could have a few different skins like coast guard, Navy, Jolly Green Giant etc.
