Bohemia Interactive has released a update for Take On Helicopters called "Downtown". This update allows you to get ArmA II content to TKOH and it fixes a lot of issues. As with any patch, we’ve tried to target the most significant issues found by the community of pilots and ourselves. Also we were able to find a convenient way for people owning titles such as Arma 2, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, Arma 2: Combined Operations to get that content into TKOH, without needing to re-download, re-locate or re-purchase it.
With this update a free DLC called Take On Helicopters: Rearmed was released.
About the Rearmed initiative, Joris-Jan van ‘t Land says: “When we initially developed Take On Helicopters, its focus was on civilian flight. We still believe in this non-combat gameplay, but of course our studio’s origins lie in military gaming. By using some clever ways of merging installed products, without the player having to tweak manual settings, it is now possible to combine the two worlds. Take On Helicopters gets an incredible amount of new content, while many of the improvements are applied to it. I love flying a helicopter over Chernarus, bathed in improved lighting and covered by the beautiful clouds. Takistan is a more detailed part of South Asia and the ideal playground for combined arms desert operations.”
Patch highlights:
-Take On Helicopters: Rearmed -Disappearing cockpit bug fixed -Stability and performance tweaks merged from Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead
blakeace has informed us about updated Blake's PRADAR (Player Radar) v1.2.02 release on the BI Forums.
... One of the things I found frustrating at times was my situational awareness, involving both my group members as well as my ability to interact with other groups effectively. The more visual clues that are available help reduce the critical communications channels to more important transmissions. Rather than the usual who's that or where are you etc. This was even more valuable to me when leading a group.
Knowing quickly where players are helps you to quickly issue orders more effectively. Espessially in time critical moments. Using mods that highlighted names helped, but generally required you to focus your cursor over them. That is if you have one visible. I like a minimal information display ideally, the more data presented constantly makes me feel more like a terminator visual interface than a basic grunt on the ground. Bright red names like neon signs really didn't help the immersion for me personally. ...
Version 1.2.02 - Changed: Compiled the main loop to help reduce the pausing. - Changed: Minor timing tweeks - Changed: Unit gathering command back to nearestobjects as I don't think that was making an impact. - Changed: Made the list width larger. - Added: Menu to turn all the PRADAR extras off. - Removed: Action to allow dots to stay on constantly. - Fixed: Where Icon labels displayed when player isn't the group leader. - Changed: Now lists will dim as per the dot brightness settings.

Hello,
We can confirm that two Bohemia Interactive employees, our colleagues and friends, were arrested during their holiday trip to Lemnos. They visited the island with the sole purpose of experiencing the island's beautiful surroundings.
Since its establishment in 1999, Bohemia Interactive has created games based only upon publicly available information. We always respect the law and we've never instructed anybody to violate the laws of any country. The same is true for Arma 3.
Currently, all our effort goes towards supporting the guys over there, as well as their friends and families affected by this difficult situation. We sincerely hope that this is an unfortunate misunderstanding of their passion as artists and creators of virtual worlds.
