Remaking other games...
Fancy playing a modern version of Gunship 2000 or some other long lost game?

If it something that can be made within the Arma3 editor (and most things can be!) then let me know here and I'll see whether it can be done.

Gunship 2000 would be awesome.

I never played Gunship 2000 but looking around on the internet it looks like you could fly a number of different helicopters.

What did the missions consist of? I see there was a blackhawk helicopter that you could fly, was this used for carrying troops?

How was the game structured? was it a dynamic campaign or just a string of individual missions?

I'm not sure Arma3 is capable of doing Gunship 2000 yet - part of the game was picking the weapons on the aircraft you and your wingman was flying. I've seen jet aircraft mods with that ability, but no helicopters yet. Maybe you just have to pick the specific kind of aircraft version to fly (like AH-64 CAS/multirole/whatever)?

RobJ's scenarios do a pretty good job of creating missions to fly - though I don't like some of his design choices (but I'm a vet, so I have my biases), but they're always single player missions. In Gunship 2000, at least some of the missions gave you wingmen that could help you, or that were transport helicopters that you'd escort to do a job (drop of troops or supplies, etc.).

It's been over 20 years since I played Gunship 2000, so I'll have to refresh my memory somehow. I just remember really liking it...

One thing I'd definitely appreciate is flying Marine Corps or Navy helicopters from a ship if you decide to do a Gunship 2000-type mission.

Hi Hellfish6,

You can equip any weapon to any vehicle, so as a work around you could do it but it just wouldn't be modelled on the aircraft (as long as the weapon exists in Arma3)

Have you seen the Huey Pack? That has a huge number of variants for the AH1 and other hueys and could be used as a good starting point.

A dynamic pilot campaign system, different mission pools would be selected based on what aircraft you choose and it's capabilities, similiar to RobJ's missions but built like a dynamic campaign rather than standalone missions.
