Seeying that you guys took the effort to make the menu and controls system less complicated then ArmA 2 is a relief! Looks good, great highlight!
P.S.: Will we still have Land Rover jeeps for the BAF?

Better make the view distance huge then
Main menu looks good, although the control configuration looks a bit weird, E for forward etc.
One of the main things I like that PR is going to bring to ArmA 2, is the simplicity.
For some reason vanilla ArmA 2 has always felt a bit weird and complicated, and I hope PR is going to set that right.
Great work once again gents, can't wait for the release!
Edit: My point kinda got ninja'd by MCI

Actually, I like this more than W for forward. With the ESDF key-bind for movement you have way more keys in your surroundings than with a WASD key-bind. Which is important for games like Arma2

That's just me being special with the ESDF layout (I recommend you give it a try). What keys you want to use is obviously still up to you

very detailed models, what struck me is the lack of a windshield on the jackal, though doubtlessly based on reality those drivers are in for a dusty ride
will those models, if possible, be used for pr:bf2 as well?

I'd hope so, the jackal is needed in PR:BF2 imo
But as always top quality work, really looking forward to this. After playing a few games of OA i just can't imagine PR on the arma scale, going to be so awesome.

No wind
screen on a Jackal no, Goggles are the call of the day, and yes they are very dusty indeed, having bounced around in them a fair bit ...lol.

This gets mentioned all the time, but bear in Mind "Project Reality" is ONE team, we now develop all our Models to ArmA2 spec, and then knock them down for the BF2 version.
Therefore Yes
ALL models developed in house and if required will be used in both ArmA2 & BF2 versions of PR.

So, this means that it is confirmed that all the awesome assets that PR BF2 already have will be used in PR ArmA 2 as well? Well. That image above explains my thoughts on this.

You wont see every single asset from PR in the first release though Felipe.
UK_F did say in the final sentence "if required" also - so things will only be brought over to ArmA2 as and when we need them.

The visibility slider shown in the image is already in ArmA2 if you look under your video options, it's nothing new that we've added

good point, come to think of it, what's a windshield anyway? those things you take to the beach?

truly good news, knocking them down probably means reducing tri's and polygon's, right?
oh and felipe: lol at calvin and hobbes seal of approval

This is like the only reason to get Arma 2. Question: Will there be only British army against insurgents?

As with PR:BF2 the first release will focus on Brits vs INS. expect more factions in future.

Windshield is American for windscreen.
