Hmm, conflicting advice, not sure which to believe now. If it's true, it's a pain when learning as together with respawn time, it adds up to about 3mins wait every time I takeoff and crash almost immediately (whether due to poor flying or the controls not being set right yet), which isn't helpful. Would be useful if there was some sort of training mode that would let us skip the respawn, getting the pilot kit and waiting for the engines to warm up. Maybe even start us in the cockpit with the helo ready to go.

In ArmA I can just plonk a helo down in the editor with myself as pilot already in it and then it's only a few seconds to get the rotors up to speed and I can takeoff and practice.

They are training versions of maps, Merk used to run server with it, but I didn't saw it for some time. You can also use debug mode to spawn helicopter instantly, as well as spawn yourself instantly.

Check this thread for more info. You will need rcon spawner and rcon ready commands.

Cool, thanks. That'll help a lot, especially being able to spawn a new helo after I've crashed them all

I guess if anyone has the training maps I could run them on my own local server.

You can use Test Airfield for basic flying training. It have all air assets, with shorter spawn time. You can download it here

My eyes see with over 9000 fps

Just kidding

its funny that everyone seems to know the quick answer to this though. I guess those people who think our eyes are fixed on the standard movie format (24 fps) can save there money on the 3D 48 fps version of "The Hobbit"

and btw. the world is not seen in fps, ... the world hasn't turned to "Surrogates" state yet.

BF2 chopper handling is the best I ever experienced.

ArmA 2 choppers physics are 100% unrealistic, cuz to move forward arma chopper has to tilt nose down to 90 degrees, the same to slow down, 90 degrees nose up - from aside it looks ridiculously stupid. Never seen to chopper fly like that in real life.
