Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I bought TOH in a steam sale and tried it today. I bought it because I heard that Arma III will adopt the flight physics from TOH. The physics are similar to Arma but with much more sensitivity. Ground effect makes a fast landing more complicated than the current arma model and I imagine we will lose more than a few squads to accidents. But a more challenging flight model will encourage specialisation and that is a good thing for the "Airheads" amongst us. I want to improve my TOH flight skills but in Arma III I will gladly defer to more skilled players As I have always done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaz~SPARTA~ Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I liked how it is considerably harder to fly with keyboard and mouse. Also, it involves technique because too much torque may break your helicopter or make you lose lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats gonna be a very....very short server pilot-list lol Because of Batavian Belgae diplomatic relations i shall not comment on the underlined parts of Zeno's post lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilducky Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) that's a good idea. I wonder if it will be harder or easier than the dcs huey. lol ill practice it and ill be a helo pilot for you guys. Edited July 20, 2013 by evilducky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GySgt~SPARTA~ Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 yeah the flight controls for TOH has a large curve been crashing my choppers a lot, I don't think this will be good or unless they have the option for simple controls . we really don't need complicated flight control just control over airheads.

Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm getting some sort of conflict, not always maybe 1 in 3, it seems to get stuck in auto startup and if I esc out I can see the on screen options flickering as if the keyboard is sticking between the options. Checking all my inputs, none appear to be sticking and only exiting the game completely & going back in fixes it. On top of all that, it's bloody hard work .

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 If you have the Hind DLC you need to make a shortcut and add this to the target line -mod=Hinds;Noisecontrollers Dont forget the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaz~SPARTA~ Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Gunny, its supposed to be realistic. Realistically Helos are frickin hard to fly, why would the controls be simplified in a REALISTIC engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 i think gunny's talking about arma 3 flight model not TOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adder360~SPARTA~ Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 ive been playing this a bit today, I think I need to calibrate my controller or something menus are all flicker like im constantly scrolling, and flying im going to have to get used it. music's quite odd rather pumping for just flying in a strait line lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GySgt~SPARTA~ Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 i think gunny's talking about arma 3 flight model not TOH. yep I like Simple controls mouse, key I'm not even going to try and be a real pilot, if Arma 3 has the simple flight option I'll be happy to pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I tried the game in expert mode, holy balls. I never once managed to take off without spinning out of control and face planting into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adder360~SPARTA~ Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 ha ha im having the trouble of finding the 10km flight in a strait line a bit boring so flooring it and the it suddenly pitching up crashing and being like its to broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman~SPARTA~ Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just put in 2 hours using my x-box controller and found it surprisingly easier to fly than expected. Not experienced the 'flickering menus' this time but have made no changes, so still confused. The single player is a little tedious but gives you practise time. Anything above normal level is way harder and all I seem to do is crash! But, it's proving to be manageable, whether I feel capable of flying in Arma 3 is a different story and I'll need way more flying hours to be ready for that.

EBE Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 just use the ARMA III EDITOR for practice there ... if u respect what the chopper can doo u will be alright ( soon )v (banking is harder then arma 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL_n00biachi Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I do remember the flickering menu thing happening when you died\crashed while going in a direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ebe thankyou but from what I can see the Alpha and Beta have not used the physics from TOH, so far its, as you indicated, pretty much the same physics as Arma II OA. It could be that I was misinformed and they will not implement the TOH physics at all in Arma III. But if they do change the physics and they use Trainee or Expert, there will be a lot of breakage on landing in trainee or death and destruction in expert. If there is only one parameter for skill, people who enjoy veteran will have to contend with: Use of actual instruments (no virtual overly). Constant adjustment of the tail rotor. Constant cyclic input to stop the chopper falling over. So I hope they do bring in the TOH physics, where people who can really fly in game will be specialists and not just enthusiastic amateurs.

EBE Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 you know i am one of the best crashing pilots there is .. (but at least i try) But indeed Zeno if they implement the real skill feel ect.. woud be awesome ( hmm more practice i still have mm yes yes ..... yoda) little joke ; Belgiums are like manure , if u put them on a pile all together they smell .. but if you spread them around enough they make the ground very Fertile.. ....
