I see. Now since you have the minimum requirements and since the error report just states unsupported their might be a problem with the drivers of your graphics card. So the question goes have you kept your PC up to date with the latest drivers? This could be the problem and maybe your PC isn't able to adjust the resolution with what the game requires. Now as for changing the resolution by altering the game'e files I have to knowledge about it but I am more than willing to look into it...

Wow, this is some serious post. NO offence, it is just biiiig.:D Now what I would like to say is that the old controller could be better than the new one by what aspects though? These are that IF you have a separate throttle then it will be very difficult for you to maneuver the chopper. I have personally got Logiteck Attack 3 with the throttle at the bottom of the stick and everything is perfect. The X52Pro is also perfect but for flying airplanes. Now as for having no pedals a Steering wheel with pedals would be just right.:D Now the problem that you were having with the sensitivity of your controller was one that also occurred to me. You can change it by going to Settings, Controls, Controller, choose your controller, and then alter the columns that "calibrate" your controller. Lessening the sensitivity and the dead zone will greatly enhance your ability to fly and this is no cheating... Also the auto hover thing, no shame there, some helicopters as far as I am aware do have auto-hover. Not the small ones but the heavy and medium ones surely do. I don't want to boast but I can now hover, with difficulties, with the different helicopters. But look at it this way. I have played the career twice and the missions and challenges many times. I am sure that with practice you will master these helos. The heavy one, NO promise, cause it is really wild:D Now as for videos in YouTube and extra tutorials I don't think that there is anything to find but who knows? Maybe someone will upload one... Hope I helped. And you can be sure that great hours of excitement await you!!! P.S. The auto-rotation tutorials are extremely difficult. And even if you haven't accomplished them you can still auto-rotate to the ground safely. Sadly this happens also the other way around...

Well on the bright side you are the first to report this problem, I think....:) Now another question, when you have completed the mission with the golf tour, you go to helipad, contracts, what do you see there? Is there an option for the next mission, after the golf tour one? Or are there only two contracts? Maybe you can unbug the game by this route. Keep me posted...

For starters welcome to the forums. Now the normal procedure of continuing on with your last mission is by going to the career section list, choosing your mission and then by pressing continue or play on the bottom of the column. Now what I would like to know is if you can see the missions on that list or not. If you can't then you really do have a problem. If it does I think that things will settle down eventually. P.S. Many hours of great game-play awaits you! :cool:

I would also like to welcome you to this Forums. Many possibilities and fun game-play awaits you with this game! Now another thing that you could try is downloading the demo again just to be sure that there was no corruption of the particular files. Just trying to be optimistic. Also maybe changing the resolution of your screen might help. A key point here is the message that pops out. Does it only state "unsupported"?

Well in general Take on Helicopters doesn't really give access to other "programs" to interfere with it's elements. Now I can not provide you with anything specific but maybe this will help, if you haven't already checked it out: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/5855?osid=14&bit=64 Also another issue I would like to point out is that certain controllers, such as G940 are designed for airplane-sims. That is why the throttle is as it is. In flying hellos it could be quite difficult to control the aircraft.

Hi to all. Well I was not sure where to post this, in Arma or in TOH forums, but I decided here since TOH is what I like! Now what I would like to know is if TOH and Arma 3 can be united with a patch of some sort. I am aware that there is a possibility with Arma 2 but with Arma 3? And also what is there to unite exactly?. I mean ok the light and the medium choppers I suppose will have their flight-realism and control enhanced as I would like, but what about the Chinook? There is no such helo in TOH but there is certainly one in Arma missions. It would be a unique experience to fly one but only on the TOH level of realism. I wouldn't be interested otherwise. The reason why I am asking all this is that there is not much multiplayer action in TOH and I hope that there is in Arma. And in Arma games what can you exactly do in multiplayer games? If I miss-posted this thread I would be happy to post it in the Arma forums. Thanks in advance...

Now that is more like it. AiA is a bit off but the second one... I mean it has bugs, but.... I watched the video and there were many problems but I am optimistic now that something will happen sooner or later. It would really be thrilling. I believe the reason that not so many people have tried to deal with these problems is due to the fact that not many people have fun by flying with choppers. Bohemia Interactive itself should take the initiative. Another question which is a bit off but in the Arma issue is whether you can shoot with your primary weapon, such as an assault rifle, while sitting on a light or even a medium helicopter. Can you? Thanks for the heads up anyways!:D

Disappointing to say the least... Whatever. Maybe online Rearmed action will increase now that summer is coming. Nevertheless many thanks for the reply Chortles!!!

Just to clarify something please. If the Take on Helicopters-Arma 2 patch is applied, then the Huey medium helicopter or the MD-500 will still feel as it did in the TOH missions while playing online on Arma servers, right? But the rest will just be left as they were in Arma 2 game-play, correct? Or have my desires misguided me?:)

Yep. There is sadly a shortage in online players. My personal high score is 5 but when I started a server with those guys they acted like crazy. They didn't know how to fly!?!? They couldn't put in practice the start up procedure!?!?!? I mean come on... Also I have problems with some missions on dedicated servers. There was an air-force 1 mission that I couldn't play for some reason. Too sad... Now I make do with a convoy mission that I have downloaded which is great fun but not when you are on your own... Maybe some Arma players should join us. For gunners on choppers and many more....

Many thanks to you both for your quick, direct and helpful answers. I have analysed both of your links and comments and as I understood there is no realism in Arma flying. :( Too sad to say the least. I thought that I could buy Arma and have the perfect flying experience. If there only were more online action with Rearmed..... Now another point is why is there legal issues between the two games when both games are from the same company??? I don't get it although I am not an expert in these things but....

For starters welcome to the forums. Now I would really like to be soft on this one but there is sadly no way that you will be able to make this work. RAM is more than good, Windows version are suitable but the integrated graphics is extremely weak. Even some flash games can not work with these graphics.... Now the disks and the CPU ain't perfect but they will work in normal graphics. All of these you can see at: http://takeonthegame.com/manual/ , where in the manual it gives you the minimum requirements of the game. As for the joystick you have got a nice piece and you will be able to calibrate it in the end. I don't know if there is some special way to calibrate this specific joystick but normally you click while in game: settings, controls, controller, (choose your controller), and start altering the different columns for the different axis. And also the helicopters, I am not aware of your experience here, tend to move in different directions if not controlled properly. For example they go backwards when you take off or they pitch forward when you increase throttle while airborne. These and many more... To sum up all you have to do is buy an graphics card 1.5 Giga will be good and as for your computer try defragmenting your disks so as to make them quicker. Hope that your problems will be solved. Hope I helped. Have a wonderful Take on Helicopters experience. Believe me it is worth it!:cool:

Another solution would be to press, in the memory missions, escape and then choose "skip" mission. You will skip them but you will lose a considerable amount of money, you won't earn money from the mission success. Also these missions are too good to be left aside but if you don't like them ok, your choice:cool:.

Have you inserted the patches on your game? Most likely this would help. Also if you have downloaded the game maybe some files are corrupted. It has happened before...

Have you tried altering the sensitivity of your controller in the game settings? I haven't got these particular pedals but there should be an option by pressing on the menu, options, controls, controller, choose your controller, and then change the column that is controlling the sensitivity of the particular axis. Hope this helped....

I don't know man, maybe a third try would be worth it though. There are a lot of amazing missions following and it would be a shame to lose them. On the other hand it would indeed be wise to contact the ones who sold you this problematic game. Maybe they know what is going on. And a refund is also logical and in bounds.:confused:

I can't say much since I have never ever had enough money for the heavy luxury helicopter, but I believe that, since all of the missions are replay, you cannot change the helicopter that will be used. It will be the same again and again. Now maybe there is an exception in the private contracts section where every mission is thought to be different, at least the location changes. There could be a chance. Nevertheless, you can enjoy your chopper in free flight inside the career and also there wouldn't be a real difference between the choppers since there are actually the same thing.

Well that ain't good. I hope sometime the downloads will be back online. One thing I would like to point out however is that, as I have heard(actually read), there are many similarities between Arma 2,3 and Take on Helicopters in the editing section. But if you ask me editing in Arma games is quite complicating. Hope you can eventually succeed in making missions cause there are just a few sadly:(. Best Luck.....

Same thing here. The mission's folder of the take on helicopters game seems to be empty, except from a readme file. There is however this link: http://takeonthegame.com/take-on-editing/ which might help you. There are mission samples and more available to download.

Best luck. And also I have personally never had the experience with Hope it doesn't happen again...

No problem. Now a couple of questions: Can you go talk to your brother at the office or maybe at the business manager at the heliport? Where are these people? Do they exist? Cause if the manager is there then some saved content is saved:). Have you placed any patches on your game before you continued the game? Or have you altered the take on helicopters files directory? P.S.If things don't go well before you uninstall and re-install your game completely keep a copy of your saved games and after you have re-installed it you could place the old saves so as, if it is just a bug, not to lose what you have accomplished so far. Or try repairing the game via the setup.exe.

Well to start with it is a fact that many times, when you continue a saved game, the chopper starts acting like crazy. Most of the times you just have to adjust your joystick a little bit backwards or a little bit forwards so as to be able to regain control over your helicopter. The throttle also has got some extreme changes when you start an auto-save cause the second the save procedure tool place the throttle was in another position, even a millimeter counts. I have personally crushed three or four times due to this happening. Another way to be sure of your saves is to save the game yourself a couple of times. Then your chances are double.:cool: Moreover in the Best Laid Plans mission the problem might be that you have to make a fast descent and land directly to the right place, I believe it has a 5 meter radius. The first time I played the career I crushed many times trying to do so. On the other hand maybe the game is having a bug. I hope you haven't downloaded it, any problems have arisen, and also that you have applied all of the patches.

Well ok but the problem is that a large amount of graphics will need to be erased, graphics which make the game better. And the tunnel can't be depicted cause it's underground so... But on the other hand it would make the game more up to date:cool:

If I understood correctly in the menu before you start the career the last option is Heliport. Well that is something normal when you play this mission "A government situation" or any other private contracts. You just continue, start the game, press escape, then go contracts and then choose the next contract, the one without a check. And the game continues...
