gigantic flame

[crazyshadowdami 1]

when i spawned on a server (still learning how to play this damn game), i just looked to my left, and i saw a gigantic flame, like a big bomb has exploded, however the flame lasted for a long time. about the location, the only thing i know is that i was facing a lighthouse. anyway, other players didnt seem to notice it, so i started approaching it. it semmed like i will never reach it since it didnt look i was closing at it at all. like its just a 2-dimensional bug on my screen (and it quite posssibly is). after some while going in direction of the flame, i came up to a settlement, but i ignored the zeds and continued running to the flame. it dissapeared after a while. it was VERY big, it pretty much took 3/4 of my screen. wtf?

to bad i have no screenies :(

If I'm not mistaken, that's a crashed helicopter..

And I think I saw it too :P

I saw the whole of elektro on fire today...

The 2-D fire particle effect/texture extended far beyond the city itself however.

Not the first time i've seen this bug; definately seems to be caused by heli crashes often though.

u dont understand.... that thing was like a nuke. i was shure it was KILOMETERS away, and yet it took 3/4 of my screen. also, an explosion from a rashed heli does not last for so long.

edit: nvm, just read the second reply. so, its a crashed heli?

A crashed (mountable) helicopter. Read its a graphical glitch in the arma 2 engine. Ive seen it once too, thought there was a forest fire :). Think it can be seen from miles away.
