Additionally, a group showing patience with long-term members means that they are willing to tolerate mistakes and work with those players to help them adapt to changes and be better. This allows you to get help without feeling guilty about it and take a supporting role and work your way along at almost your own pace – something that is more difficult to do in a pure flight sim community where flight and mission times are longer with a few, rare exceptions. What I found with the SimHQ Arma3 community were copious amounts of patience and perseverance. Multiplayer follow the leader with the added bonus of some flight simming in a live environment thrown in from time to time? Perfect!Ī good online community can be invaluable and it starts with how they treat their members, both the new and the long term members. And every now and then you get to take a helicopter up to insert/extract some troops or maybe get to fly some CAS for troops on the ground. I mean come on, ground pounding can’t be that tough can it? Point the sharp end of the stick at the bad guys, stay with your assigned squad and try not to shoot them or do something monumentally stupid to get them all killed. Arma3 has a flight simulation component, albeit a lighter weight flight sim portion that I was hoping for but it was at a time and place where I could go through the learning curve with everyone. When Arma3 was announced, I thought this might be the best opportunity to join a group online. Note the ‘Flight Instructor’ off to the front right position – that little speck is the guy who talked me through my first landing in the MiG-15bis (Klarsnow) (DCS World + MiG-15bis) I always held back from becoming a regular in the multiplayer world. I joined SimHQ a long time ago, lurking in the background for years reading article after article, post after post, but even with all that I always felt too far behind the curve to get my feet more than a little wet. I never really feel that I can hold my own, even in a cooperative versus AI situation, without a ton of additional practice and preparation. I am also more of an off-line flight simmer. Maybe “tactical simmer” shooter is a better term. I do not consider myself a “first person shooter” as that implies Battlefield whatever or Call of Duty whatever. I consider myself a flight simmer first and a “first person shooter” second. Sometimes the best missions are the ones that go sideways.
With us how he entered the world of multiplayer simming with Arma 3, and also talks a little about the Task Force Radio and Advanced Combat Environment mods.
