Onjin

I completely understand analog controls, but had no idea I can have a 'console type controller', a joystick for flying and the mouse and key board all hooked up at the same time and can be used on the fly while in game? I am correctly assuming this? I am new to PC gaming. And it is difficult to drive (not impossible, use Q in place of W and steering is a lot easier with A/S) and I can't fly to save my life even in the tutorial.

I am a new player to ArmA, in fact I am downloading it now after playing the demo. I do not plan to play DayZ at all. Zombies are cool and such, however, I don't believe they belong in a game like this. You can find me on steam under Onjin_Dog. I do need to practice, so I will be doing campaign first after tutorials. See you on the battlefield soon.

Yes, I will be upgrading. Only running AMD A8-3800 APU with what I believe to be a Radeon HD integrated graphics at 2.4 GHz. Running ArmA 2 well. But, 3 looks so sick.

I'm just happy to have stumbled upon ArmA 1 & 2 on Steam in the first place. That was this last Friday, 8/3/12. Played demo and I am now hooked. ArmA 3 is looking mightily sick.

Found the right thread. Thank you for the tips. I will be sure to check all the suggestions out. Instant addiction. And I've only played 3 hours on the Demo. Buying it asap.

I really hope so zamani532. I downloaded the Demo today to check this game out. I am definitely buying asap. If you would like to play, I'm down. However, be forewarned I am a ArmA noob so green it's blinding. But I am willing to learn and do listen to orders. I am relatively new to PC gaming, finally have PC that can handle games with ease. I have played a bit of AA3, however, I grew tired of it quickly. Not the large scale I was looking for. And after 3 hours of ArmA, this game blows AA series out of the water. Military Tact FPS I have loved over the years, console gaming: Ghost Recon series (original up to GR2, GRAW ruined the series for me) Full Spectrum Warrior MAG (PS3 only) Apologies if this was long winded.
