@WallyJas Thanks for the complement.

Re AH7 - Yeah was in A2. I'm working on an improved version for A3 too. There will be an Arma 4 version 100% new models too eventually.

I love this mod, amazing cockpit and flight dynamics. did i read somewhere that you used to also have a Lynx AH7 for ARMA2?

Cheers for your work Rock. This is a fantastic mod. Looking forward to the CVWP weapons pack as well <3

@Alik Thanks for the compliments. Nice to know people are enjoying it.

Re #1 ACE - I hate to say it but I cant control what ACE does. We dont use it and I haven't tested it. If you want to create an ACE compat for it I'll happily help you out.

Re #2 That one of the trade offs. I know not everyone uses it but we fly with AFM and TrackIR so we don't have quite the same issue. I can see about making an optional patch addon to change the view angles etc too. Or at least a community template to help you change what you want yourselves.

Re #3 Realism was the prime requirement for this. It was meant to be a bit of a challenge to fly and once mastered to be more fun than the stock helos. Feedback says I achieved that. So I hope you are having fun.

Finally, the new CVWP weapons pack will open up some new weapon options that others have asked for. Spike, Hellfire, DAGR/APKWS etc.

I'm trying to get it all done ASAP but real life keeps interrupting. Please stick with me.
