How much did the flight model for helicopters or planes change?
Personally I consider the helicopter flight model as good. As a fan of flight simulators and a real pilot I approve the balance between real behavior and simplified simulation. It is not as hard to learn to pilot those vehicles is not so hard as in real life, but it still does require some training. In ArmA 2 we again improved the flight model and aside from some fixes (small efficiency of the rudder) we will introduce a whole new simulation of VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) such as, for example, V-22 Osprey or F-35 use and which the AI is fully capable of using too. How much did the vehicle behavior and handling change? The main difference in vehicle behavior is larger count of gun positions, but the movement physics were changed too. Our attention is also aimed at the behavior of AI drivers – you have an area of 225km^2 which AI can freely travel through with various types of roads, surface, terrain shapes and various types of build-up areas. Will the movement speed of a unit b
