Armed Assault

Have a look at Arma2 aircrafts in action:

Mi-24 model is very good.

Doubt it, FPS and simulation are at opposite ends of the scale :(

 

It was historically, but this came often with the limits of the 3D-engines and the technical limits (namely RAM/CPU), since a whole "realistic" 3D-landscape with enough details (and buildings, etc) for infantry to be fun and large enough for (sane!) air-plane-use, will still reach the limits of any modern computer.

 

Best attempt I know of: ww2online. There you have some decent simulation paired with plenty of FPS-action.

The sim-part was sufficient enough that many soldiers rather never tried to fly and the even more complex stuff (level-bombing from high alt) was left to some experts.

ArmA (1) was cool too, but the visibility was lame .. waiting for ArmA II to check that out :D

 

But I hope and believe, that it is a natural thing to bring those genres together. It will add so much more depth to games - both sides (ground- and air-forces) can benefit from that :thumbup:

Thanx, but the link does not work - but Google helps (again) ;)

You mean the file which is ~390MB?

 

EDIT: I am also impressed by that video -- after all, it is not just a trailer-clip, but real in-game footage. And while the planes still seem to steer a bit jerky, the game runs smooth, without crashes and quite the view-distance!! Respect!

No new videos. But they are showing off the weapons featured in the game now. I'm kinda surprised at the inclusion if the XM8.

1.16 beta patch released. Game now runs as its supposed to run, they fixed the ATI/AMD platform memory fragmenting issues.

 

Over 100% performance increases benchmarked.

 

Now get your 1.07 ace and 1.16b arma running and come tell me theres ANYTHING better out there :P

ok..im going to go get it..

 

but until then...

 

does 1.16 does any thing for helicopters?

i finally got my collective, cyclic and foot pedals to work using the ch manager software to merge it as one (YES ARMA2 allows multiple controllers)...i can finally controller the helicopter..

 

i just tried 1.14, helicopters still SUX big time..

i feel like i have to fly according to the AIRSPEED indication, as opposed to flying in respect to what i see... I feel like there is NO depth to flying...

 

I REALLY REALLY HOPE ARMA2 is NOT LIKE ARMA 1.14 and below...

 

has anyone tried ARMA2 helicopters at conventions? the videos still look choppy for helicopter movement during flight..

you wont find hardly any Ace Mod server on the beta patch :( i have tried.... until the real patch comes out I have been having great luck with finding many servers on the non beta or the 1.14 one.

[Grodin]

Yeah, rent servers are often linux and theres no dedicated linux server for beta patches :(

 

You only need to find one good tho ;)

[joey45]
