Re: IL-2 newbie

Thanks, zitron and audiox! All this info definitely makes it easier for me to approach that monster of a simulation. Looking forward to putting in some more air time!

Re: IL-2 newbie

Thanks a lot - that's a fantastic starting point! I've also got Cliffs of Dover (since it was only €9.99), but I'll wait with that one until next year when I've built my new PC. In the meantime I'm trying to see how well I take to IL-2 1946 . Depending on how much I'll end up spending on my new buil...

IL-2 newbie

Since this subforum is called "DCS World & Other Flight Sims ", I thought I'd ask my question here. Feel free to shoot me down with an AA gun if appropriate. As I'm the proud new owner of a Thrustmaster HOTAS Flight X, I decided to give IL-2: 1946 (with HSFX) another try. I still find the game to be...

Anyone using Voice Attack for Arma?

While reading posts about Elite: Dangerous and Oculus Rift I've come upon Voice Attack (http://www.voiceattack.com), a program that basically allows to tie macros to voice prompts. Most of the people using Voice Attack seem to be pretty taken with how well it works, so I was wondering whether any of...

Differences between making missions for A2 and A3?

Not sure whether this is the right place for posting this; if any of the mods think it's better suited to A3 Discussion, please feel free to move the thread. Due to fer's recent post about 'parking your A2 assumptions and getting to know A3 for what it is', I'm curious: do the Folk ARPS mission crea...

Re: [Tue] 21 Oct 2014 (The tank was a dream)

@audiox: Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try this. I'm not the best Arma player as it is, but yesterday I felt at times that I might as well have been an embedded journalist for all the good I did. Anything I can do to help me with spotting is much appreciated. By the way, while I didn't survive...

Re: [Tue] 21 Oct 2014 (The tank was a dream)

Good points, fer, and thanks for making them. I'll definitely have to put in some more single-player time to get used to the changes too. It's happened to me in a few missions now, though, that my comrades opened fire on the enemy and I felt that rather than aiming I was left to fire at the place wh...

Re: [Tue] 21 Oct 2014 (The tank was a dream)

I played the first two missions and had a good time fighting alongside the good people of Folk ARPS (especially on the first go at Don't Knock - Exploding Pickup Edition), but as before in Arma 3 I've had the following problem: I simply can't make out the enemy beyond 200m. I'm not sure whether ther...

Re: Unofficial Arma 3 mod-fun time Thursday 2030 BST

1) Is that switch permanent?
2) Are there any plans to add other maps?

Re: Unofficial Arma 3 mod-fun time Saturday 2030 BST

Head (or anyone else): Have you got any experience with ACRE2 vs. Task Force Arrowhead Radio? If so, how do they compare?
