Ah nice, word of caution: if you download it from Sprocket you might be into some trouble. They forget to mail de cd-key after buying it. A clanmate of ours is still "waiting" ..........
Just join our irc channel at quakenet: #dond
I'll be there from 20.00 to 22.00.

Edit:
I got the key in the confirmation mail

Quoting from where I posted this on the BIS forums:
Ever wonder why changing your view distance from 5km to 10km resulted in no visible increase, and even 5km didn't look all that far or good? Apparently it was a bug... and, as you can see, it's being addressed.
This is going to be an incredible change for all pilots.

I know that the question will come up about performance, so I'll address that now. My system is as follows:
Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
Radeon X1950XTX (512MB)
2GB PC2-6400 RAM
Raptor HDD
10 kilometer view distances for me are playable but not ideal. This is with my default settings that I use on the ground. I think that lowering texture detail in this situation would result in smoother gameplay. With 10km view distance you can see all of South Sahrani and most of North Sahrani at the same time if you're flying between them. If I had to guess, I'd say that I was getting from 10-15fps at 10km view distances while flying around all over the island, with occasional hitches caused due to texture caching. All of the screens you see in this post were 10km view distance, and there are a few in the directory I link at the end that are 5km IIRC.
5 kilometer view distances are extremely playable for me. With a 5km view distance you can see all of South Sahrani when flying over it and can probably see a bit of North Sahrani as well. I was hitting 20-30fps at this view distance.
A 3 kilometer view distance gets great FPS and allows you to see a very long distance. This is easily playable for fixed-wing (jet) aircraft and makes bombing and strafing runs infinitely easier. I'm gusesing I was making 25-35fps at 3km view distances.
I have not tested at 1.2km or 2km view distances, but I believe they will look noticeably better than they do currently due to how the distance fog is rendered.
Long story short, this is one hell of a change and is going to make the air experience loads better. I can only imagine how cool this must be on dual 8800GTXs with a silky-smooth 10km view distance and with settings cranked. :crazy:
This is a damn cool change. I had my doubts about jets in ArmA previously, but now that you can actually see so far, they're a blast to fly.

ArmA is an eye opener to say the least !
I've just left my girlfriend for a Helicopter, and I'm loving every minute of it !

Well whenever I get a working x1950Pro back and finally put my old 6800GT in the dust bin how do you guys reckon I'll go?
Currently it is playable on 1024x768 with post proc low, terrain very low (the grass just ****s me so it's off now) and everything else on normal, view distance 1.2Km.

mmm, human controlled artillery is now feasible. The one shot of the soldier on the mountain looking made me think of an idea. Have tanks rolling up the valley near the water and have some ATGs on the mountain and fire away, with a spotter you might do some good.

The game plays quite well considering what the engine is doing.
The demo was pretty much unplayable, I deleted it after 3 tries.
Running on normal but I'm gonna drop down a notch to up my fps.
Getting 30 fps but its a pretty fluid 30fps.
It is widely agreed that the 1.05 patch hit performances.
I love this game, I want to make baby's with it !

Just take a look at the arma forums.
The images taken ingame are jaw-dropping.
For instance:
http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=64;t=55733;st=435
You need a heavy pc to watch it in all it's glory, but also subpar pc's can have a lot of fun.

I have played very little with 1.04, but I didn't notice any degrading of performance since 1.05. It fixed a lot of issues IMO and I can play the game very well.
