PMC Apache v1.1 for ArmA 2 has been released!

You really think that this model is good?
I would like to see a new Apache, but this...

What is of interest to convert the model of the OFP in Arma 2?
I think this is a bad idea, apparently the model of the OFP in Arma 2 are awful.

Oh crap russians!

Also, to make myself clear, I don't mean that your work is crap Snake, but that the model is really really outdated now and it's showing it's age quite painfully. It's the BIS model indeed, but ugh, it makes me shudder seeing it survive this long.

once a new apache for arma2 is ported/created then this one can be retired.

I for one would rather have a usable addon than none at all, I know the gripe with quality etc, but this game is all about choice, if i want to add an apache to a mission or the editor now I can a few days ago I couldn't.

We all have a choice to either download it or not.

Lets not forget someone has spent probably hours of there own time for no personal gain on this addon, and some of us say thanks by picking it apart.

Have I got the right to express my opinion?
What will you say if I make the pink sumbarine with legs and radar?

It's silly to use this Apache in missions. It's too old.

Actually, I think I would use that to make a mission.
For me, like Eble said,

this game is all about choice

If you dont like an addon just please stay the hell out will you. You dont slam people that create free addons - your mother should have taught you that.

If you have skills and interest in an addon that doesnt look up to your standards then HELP that person out to make it better. Just sit on your fat ass and say it's bad is just...

This apache was made as a simple addon for ArmA1 to use very little performance if my mind isnt boned. Use it if you want - if you dont like it - keep it to yourself unless you are constructive. Nice more detailed vehicles will come later.

I personally love this addon, why? several reasons really

1. its free, like all addons for the communtiy, I've made several addons for personal use and it takes a LONG time and lots of testing and tweaking to finally get it things working as you want them to 100% of the time

2. It's got a tiny performance impact, I LOVE massive missions, many of my own rarely have less then company sized conflicts, so high performance addons are a must, this is one of them, sure it may not be the prettiest thing ever to grace our monitors but it works, it's fuctional and from a gameplay perspective just fine, having a nice model doesnt make the addon good.

Many thanks

I really like it actually.. It's a good placeholder - I mean, it took ages for a proper AH-64 to be released for ArmA 1 - might as well have something meanwhile.

No worries mate we all can really say what we like.

My comments weren't directed at anyone person, I could just see the start of a feeding frenzy of complaints and I just wanted to put the thread back on course.

Hey for all I know your the best 3d artist in the world and you were about to offer 50-100 hours of your free time to make a new model.

One thing you might not know is that when an addon is well developed, error free and very usable it finds it way into a lot of missions, in mass coop having a jet/helicopter thats effective is far more important that it looking shiny and new. (tho we all want shiny and new)

My concern was that behind every addon is a decision to release it to the wider community, if we come down hard on people for the samll things we will see the community release for closed groups only as seen in Arma.

Arma started to see a move away from community release to clan/group release which is a shame for us all.
