@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.

TLDR: Love the pylon modularity, the quirky features like the emergency flotation bags and tow bar, the handling, physics and texture quality, but it still needs a bit more work before units can comfortably use it.

Looked into this mod for my unit's air wing. At first when I spawned it in and just flew it around I was amazed at the interior and exterior texture quality, as well as the handling and suspension/landing physics. But when I looked into it's CAS role it all went to shit. 1) With ACE you go deaf even with any Pilot helmet + Earplugs when you start firing, don't even want to imagine what it's gonna be like for the infantry inside. 2) The default view angle is a bit lower than in other helicopters which at first was cool because you'd see all your instruments without free-look, but because it's lower than the black marker drawn circle on the windshield, when you zoomed in, it would zoom under the circle target, and the cabin would take a big part of your screen, making it very annoying for dumb-fire CAS runs where you need good visual contact. 3) The lack of heads up display also forces you to fly it like a Little Bird in King Of The Hill.

@Aurora - Try unsubscribing, then resub after a few mins. it should get the latest version.

I cant replicate the CTD anymore. it was caused by a bade scope line in the config. Its all fine now. We've been playing with it online for the last few days.

@Moggzy - Can you describe whats happening? Glitches how?
Aurora Mar 18 @ 5:18pm 
I think so
