Ok, will try it tomorrow. I've been playing till now and I'm enjoying TOH Hinds a lot - dropping a FAB bomb at Cruiser Ships in Seattle, sinks them right away! Already 4:17 AM hours here in Portugal, and got school tomorrow. Thank you again!

Hello again Max Power, Thank you for the advice, I've created a custom mission after managing to put the units on the map.. as no menu opened before I click 2 times at the map, I took my time... LOL - the ranks list, doesn't have the 'Commander' rank, the highest one is 'Colonel', which was the one I choose; - the keys 1 to 9 only show two options - status and reply (if I remember correctly); - the TAB key in fact issues some verbal command, I believe from me to the Pilot to lock some close targets, helos; tanks ect So I'm not getting that target list menu where the helicopter option is. What do you think I might be doing wrong?

Thank you - I'll try it now. By the way, which sub-menus should I choose to create a 1 vs 1 custom mission to put an Mi-24 aginst other helo? I've tryed at challenges; at editor; at free flight; but no avail.

That really seems to be what I'm after - because managing the Hind's (amongst others) weapons systems really is my passion! As I'm yet very noob , could you tell me what are the key commands to issue that order to pilot? Thank you. ( I don't know if I'm commander, as my mission is a saved one, from challenges. )

Fully understood your advice Max Power (as I'm really an air combat enthusiast), and already saw something like that kind of jet fighter like "pursuit" at some ARMA II video on youtube. Your advice was for playing as Pilot I believe. However I'm trying to shot enemy helo's as Gunner, which was fine with Mi-24 version with moving gun turret, if the Pilot kept the enemy helo within the gun turret covering angle.. which he doesn't. ( Apparently the AI Pilot keeps going to the enemy base and turns is back on 2 incoming enemy helos. ) Is there any way of making AI Pilot keep pointing (if on stationary), or pursuing enemy helos?

Hello, I'm enjoying a lot both TOHelicopters and TOH Hinds. However, after reading experiences from other forum members and trying myself shoting down enemy helos with my Mi-24 (whichever version), I find it really difficult to put my weapons on target. Either as Pilot, or as Gunner. Any sugestions?

Hello everyone, Just bougth TOHelis and TOH Hinds today, and experienced black screen & TOTAL system freeze while loading the base version TOH. This issue was solved after installing the full 1.01 to 1.06 patches. Is the base un-patched version TOH, only supposed to load after being patched?

Hello, I've bought TOHelicopters and TOH Hinds Bundle. Already downloaded them from "sprocket". I understand there are patches which should be installed. Where can I find them, and in which order should I install everything? Thank you.

Yes, it's my intention to get it from the Bohemia store. Ok I will try to contact him, in order to see what's needed to get everything going smooth. Thank you.

Glad to know you managed to solve your problem. I'm reading the threads before buying the game to understand with what I'm dealing... And it would have been good to see more support from the devs/company.

Hello everyone, I'm a possible TOHelicopters & TOH Hinds buyer, but issues like installation problems don't inspire me much will. Does anyone know if this issue it's solved already? Thank you for your time.

By the way, does anyone know if - is the problem with the TOH Hinds installation solved? As stated at the TROUBLESHOOTING Forum : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?132527-Installation-Problem-With-Take-on-Helicopter-HIND!

Hello again, Some personal issues prevented me from reading this post sooner. But glad to know that TOH has better missile targeting simulation, because to me, that's the heart of a jet / helicopter / tank etc. simulator. And hope they don't modded it to a more simple version... because arcade isn't bad at all, but isn't the "top" also. I bellieve I'll buy it soon and then post my experience here. Hope everything goes ok with the base version TOH and TOH Hinds downloads... Thank you a lot for your straightforward answers, as they really were what I wanted to know!

From what you’re telling, TOH Hinds doesn’t look so much “dumbed down†as some people’s reviews make it look like. ( Sure, I know it’s by no means at the DCS Black Shark level of accuracy on weapons deployment and several other categories, but it doesn’t look like some 100% arcade type game either. ) More people have pointed me to “EECH Hindsâ€, however I’ve read that in here’s not possible to play on the Gunner’s seat.. so it’s a ‘no go’ for me. So I have just one more question: Does ARMA II Mi-24 Hind have anything more than TOH: Hinds in the weapons / aiming / targeting features; optical scopes / gun sights / HUD /MFD department?

Max Power, You really said it all ! Thank you a lot! As at SimHQ forums it was becoming difficult to get an actual answer a first, much less as detailed as yours. Ok, from your answers, regarding my personal preferences on this games / sims, it really looks very good to me. So, from several reviews people say that; when on Gunner seat it's not easy / possible to hover the Hind? At the SimHQ it's mentioned that the Gunner MFD screen lack's the crosshairs? Why is it so difficult to shot down enemy helicopters - isn't it easy to keep the gun or SACLOS missile sights at them? Thank you for your attention. ---------- Post added at 20:32 ---------- Previous post was at 20:28 ---------- Helicopterenthusiast, Thank you for your prompt reply, I've already answered at first time to you, however I got a message of something, like awaiting moderator authorization or so to be posted. Regarding "Helicopters rearmed", I'm more inclined to the Hind, but thank you anyway!
