there is reason why extDB3 https://bitbucket.org/torndeco/extdb3/wiki/Home exists and extDB2 was phased out long time ago as obsolete
Its using stolen content thats stealing @smoky phoenix
btw. ArmA.Studio release will be today or tomorrow
depending on how fast we can prepare the text posts
congrats @lilac jackal
@proud wraith it isn't....as specified by BIS monetization. Stealign is when you provide game content for money
anyone experience in writing good reddit posts?
mine always look kind of ... odd 🙈
thx @unreal rivet
So why don´t you guys close A3L for example... giving only class 3 vests to who pays 15 dollars..
in /r/arma ?
yep @humble harbor
@smoky phoenix people need to report the servers for someone to take action
maybe armadev too
@lilac jackal have a look on reddittext.com they have formatting cheatsheet
also got enhanced reddit addon
I don't think you need to have a great text to get attention in the arma subreddit lol
@lilac jackal what is this arma studio u speak of
oh well I tried 😄
oh the "beuaty" of Life servers
@unreal rivet tried it and still crashed, 2 people with all the mods
Phantom is "stealing" though - He was the guy leaking nopixel, A3Pl and so on
and 2 people with 1 mod at the time
That stealing argument is trash... this is a game and people only spend extra money if they want...
But @smoky phoenix you sounds like a friend of him
]lol
@gritty wigeon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd-2WQzoG48
I´m not friend of anyone
have you added diag_logs into your server so you know whats heppening when it does crash, could be literally anything, you could put diag_logs before each server function is called, that would let you know where it starts to fall off the radar
ALL the life servers have shit from other servers... maybe the only exception is a3pl
What a load of tosh....
^
he is being sarcastic about it lol
But he is right, Life servers is keeping arma 3 alive and you are shitting in them
there would be no life rp servers without the hardcore arma community years before so i suggest you keep wise remarks for communities of 1 year lifespan titles
Where do you get that statistic
rip.
heh lifespan
savage
https://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00064 Fixed: Life servers BTFO
Did Selods get banned?
Life players think they are the spearpoint of Arma since the only youtube/twitch content is related to Life servers. They don't know about all those private tactical servers and stuff. that is it.
@urban sluice ?
hahahaahhaah good joke.... there was always life servers in other games wayyy before arma2/3.... good joke
That's just the thing
@vale valley Phantom just dissapeared from the Discord after FM did the countdown and wrote goodbye
People's behaviour on the internet is always kind dodgy
Shame... lol
good. he was being really rude and ignorant
Im glad i moved on to millsim and got out the life game
That's how Selods is 😄
@vale valley the guy with the name "Phantom Metropolisrp" = selods
there were RPG communities in Arma since 2002 but the last mass-casual wave turned the behaviour upside down ...
In the spirt of all things Arma, he may be unbanned.
let´s see if identity can give us more support
Back in the day there were a lot of servers where you could play real arma (or so i heard, have only been playing since a3) and after the release of RPG and DayZ most of that went private
I can tell by the way the Public Zeus servers are ever since Christmass sale
@urban sluice ye FM banned him for trolling, i unbanned him but only if he keeps the spam out of this server
@vale valley Oh - A guy like him should be banned - Ripping everybody elses stuff, using things without having the rights to and so on
all servers should be monitored by admins. doesnt matter which mods
one of "them"is he?
@unreal rivet yeah i tried all that
Like he was the only one doing it
like always @vale valley ppl are the problem
sarcasm mode on ppl got expectations!!!!!1111elf we deserve fix! yu no fix our life mission!!!111 we most important ppl!!!! sarcasm mode off
@urban sluice who are you? i would call myself a Arma life vet aswell, and are u sure its selods?
@fleet lake 100% sure
@urban sluice How?
The only public thing I actually play anymore is invade & annex and that only on 1 server
Everything else I either played in a unit or with a handful friends on a private server
invade & annex was the best when Arma was in Alpha @last geyser
@last geyser The pub Zeus servers can be fun. Depends which of the usual suspects is Admining and Zeusing ...
@humble harbor agreed
@fleet lake http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198182692634
malden dlc hype
@fleet lake And https://i.gyazo.com/f4f702d1bf5a5a82a38cdfa72fd03543.png
@urban sluice lol, how did u get his PID?
everybody was working together....on a public server
HOw do you get multiple game bans? ... maybe I got to rephraze that ... how do you get even one?
@urban sluice Too much to even type. In a nutshell "everything is Bohemias fault"
@fervent jolt Hacks, cheats
@fleet lake Not that hard to find - But check the customurl - selods
that was kind of rethorical ... just figured people know that there is anticheat in most games nowadays
the 77th servers are top notch
@gritty wigeon long time no see
and in a MP game IDK its just good manners to like you know not cheat
yo heisen
Since many use Reddit, they are bound to be fooled by all the incorrect info there.
nah vanilla, but its well run with a good mission
@last geyser nope vanilla ... they are the official BI servers
^^
@urban sluice So what? As one of the developers of arma 3 life mod, him and many other servers owners are the ones keeping arma 3 alive... No one can say otherwise
I'll check them out after me and friends are done "liberating" tanoa
@urban sluice are there EU servers or it is an american host?
here we go again jeez
If we ever manage to do that
@smoky phoenix So it's okay that he leaks everyone's server files, scripts and so on ?
On a positive note https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9bCFJ5z1vk look at the game getting better
@urban sluice and what are those costs?
I dont get the appeal of life rp, can you not just play GTA online?
Not to condone the leaks, but they served to bring down quite a few content stealing life servers.
"Not that they all do"
@urban sluice It´s a game, first they should be working together to develop arma 3 life mods in general!!! Everyone is just being greedy af with the donations.... robin hood style... at least he doesn´t charge 30 dollars for a life mod acess...
Also, I don't think keeping arma 3 alive is a good term to use. I don't think Arma 3 is dying
Its not even done growing yet
isn´t dying because of youtubers playing life mods bruh
thats a good joke
just close all life mods and see whats going to happen
I would love to see that
yeah, lets do that in fact
good idea
I wouldnt mind a smaller community
guys try go on twitch 9/10 people are playing life mods
if it would be less toxic
@sweet axle danke for the link
Twitch is no benchmark
i know Twitch is no benchmark, but thats what people see. that how people get into Arma
because not many people want to see someone play milsim. they cant identify with that content. Life is projecting 'general lifestyle' into a game hence why people can identify with it.
"Fr4Ged - heute um 16:24 Uhr
if it would be less toxic"
^ Besides, lifemods are more entertaining for viewers/streamers because of the interaction
@humble harbor if no one watches it, how is people gonna know about it?
Goood luck surviving with vanilla servers hahahah
Funny, everyone I know bought Arma without YouTube or twitch
do you even Milsim?
"goes to work/study, goes home, has dinner, turns on pc to play going to work, going home, having dinner" I dont get it.
Do we have angry life people shit posting?
I did before yes... it´s not addictive as life mods
@finite relic yes there will always be ppl who buy games without research. but there always will be aswell
lol, modding its self is a game mode
@fleet lake Twitch/Youtube weren't around when @finite relic Started playing
i have more fun doing that than actually playing
😛
why would you be addicted to a game?
I´m just waiting for Identity to develop their life game mode...
has anyone stop question and frisk the life players for stolen mods?
steve, no one blames you for playing Life but stop downplaying the other mods or vanilla. People enjoy that stuff. @smoky phoenix
@gritty wigeon less drama innit
15 years. 15 years I've been playing Arma and its predecessors.
Check out the more serious YouTube content for arma 3 that shit gets a lot of views
@unreal rivet too true i love it haha
Or was it 16, I'm not sure now
@last geyser Link?
been there done the life stuff moved on, my life is less stressful now haha
old-age, memory etc @finite relic 😛
@humble harbor Just saying that arma 3 won´t survive without it...
Good joke
Probably would, it would survive fine
Would survive with less 80% population
I found the orange DLC -> https://youtu.be/C9bCFJ5z1vk?t=358
@urban sluice that's public
@fleet lake dsylexci, luetin09 and operator drewski come to mind
how old are you, steve?
there is TON of Arma3 activity that goes on in private servers
What are you going to start insulting me because you are losing an argument?
wtf
you can't even verify your thesis, mate
ShackTac? @urban sluice
It´s pure facts, like he said you have 90% of the top servers are life mods...
I would argue pop doesn't matter
that still wouldn't be an argument for Arma dieing when there would be no Life mod
just because they have a large player count doesnt make them any better than a server with 12 players, its the experience, gameplay and fun you have
only people who can settle this conversation is BI who probably have much better tracking stats then we do and they aren't going to tell us
Arma 3 could survive ofc, but with what cost?
no, it is a theoretical argument. you can't just say that Arma would die. it is purely hypothetical
A better community
This conversation is pointless
only way to settle it would be to know which % of players ONLY play life
Yes
and which player largely life, then which don't
or you could just stop feeding the trolls
jeez we still arguing about who can get more mates to come to their party
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Its a shame since the hammer had to come out a few times as well.
^
yeah but you need quantity to have some money in your account...
oh boy
That is the #1 problem right there
after all, it´s all about the numbers
No, its a game. Its not about how much money you can get from it
tell that EA lol
hum... I don´t think so
I know. just saying
@smoky phoenix oh dear.....
You wouldn´t be here if it wasn´t for the money lol
so, how about them $localsportsteam?
@urban sluice Remember when we had the convo about money??
snicker
can we just stop feeding him already, this conversation isnt a conversation anymore and hasnt been for a while
well, it is a milsim game...soooo
@urban sluice I always wonder how those people could achieve something in live with such an attitude...
Agreed
If you want GTA or The Sims, you are free to buy them as well
Or maybe Identity will take over life mode servers...
Is this entire conversation because x64 is crashing life servers? Is that how this stupidity got started?
yes
@native charm Yeap
so to cut that topic. what is the yellowish beverage the BI guys are drinking in the pictures and the "scanning the horizon" video? lol
Most likely beer
@urban sluice Our server has been memory dumping with x64
Many Units send beer care packages to BI
the clients aren't crashing
@urban sluice Identity is a game that is being made by asylum life mod creators... it will be a game dedicated to life servers and bla bla bla...
Standalone
@urban sluice This Arma3 server has encountered an error and must close
@smoky phoenix Since you seem so intent on promoting Identity, please post all further info in #other_games_chat
I´m not lol, Someone just asked what was identity..
youve posted it multiple times
We thought it was memory pressure at first, but monitoring has revealed otherwise
You drunk?
let me check... mmm, nope. But I will check the search history.
so the new Nato jet from the DLC seems to be a modern version of the F/A 18, doesn't it?
yeah
Yep, multiple
f18 /f22 hybrid
at 3:11, 3:27, 3:38 Whos drunk now?
I was trying to but this conversation hold me busy lol
yeah ima watch it again in a bit
I still want Turboprop instead of jets
I gived examples yes but i´m not advertising
but I guess they are saving me from having to buy it
'Black Wasp' niceee
I trade places with you guys and you can have turboprops minimum of 6 times a day 😛
" Since you seem so intent on promoting Identity" ofc
I'm not sure what Air Superiority fighters bring to table in Arma3 Gameplay
just put the 30mm gatling gun on the Cessna
Back in OFP you could add one to a player
@humble harbor so you can watch it go backwards? 😄
@humble harbor the name of the jet is no coincidence I think https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/171726-fa-18x-black-wasp/
oy! I hope he get some revenue lol
@vale valley fix the arma3server.exe
the Griphon AAF jet looks like a Rafale. the french jet.
It's a Saab Gripen
yeah, seems right
Also note the "side project" mentioned in the old Black Wasp thread...
I was about to ask if anyone know do John_Spartan and Saul have fingers in the development
i wish the CSAT thing looked better though
It is russian. what do you expect lol
Huh?
there ain't no bugs in arma3server.exe , our elite programmer divisions controls the Arma borders and the explosions behind me are just QA tests of JETS DLC ...
Sukhois are really cool looking jets
Even MiGs for that matter
@urban sluice that's new particle effect code 😉
Also, honest question, does anyone use UAVs? :/
that is just their front lawn tank getting warmed up
https://arma3.com/assets/img/post/images/arma3_jetsdlc_screenshot_01.jpg change the URL through 1 to 7 for screens
IMO, Arma3 NATO jet looks like cross between F-22/35
they keep making new UAVs, i don't know who uses them 😄
@sweet axle yoo when did that get released
We don't use them in my unit all that often, I do know some Milsim units do use them more often
yeah, we use UAVs on private servers. you don't need a dedicated pilot when using a UAV operator within your squad. @quartz magnet
wip on that one too, soonish
I like the Darter for recon
if you want to place enemy armor but don't have a lot of AT on foot
problem we have with them is they are extremely powerful
Darter is the only thing we use
reduce the amount of onboard ammo and dont allow rearm.
I&A?
or adapt your mission/zeus to it
Fr4Ged that's the thing, unless the mission is built around the UAV it becomes tough
yeah the UAVs need more level sets and ASL option, not just a script
you would see a lot of UAVs crashing into hills when using ASL lol
^
set it up enough high and nope you won't
that's....also a point.
or manually operate it
i mean highest point in altis isn't more than 300m (probably less, can't remember)
above see level?
yep shouldn't be too much higher
^^pun intended?
imagine walking up a 500m hill though
I found a hill being 312m.
Thronos north of Oreokastro is 350 lol
the overpowered part of UAV isn't always the weapons, it's the thermal eye in the sky
to be fair, thermals can be disabled
is there a new map being introduced with the DLC as well?
which DLC
New map is Malden, which is it's own thing (see video)
Tanks look quite interesting BTW
a okay. they are talking about all dlcs
malden is coming to A3 via project argo development
i really hope either Tac Ops or Orange DLC includes some radio cosplay stuff (TFAR/ACRE) @vale valley pls poke devs 😛
I hope orange is ships/naval dlc, would make sence sinc you have air / ground dlc's inbound anyway 😃
"there will be a couple of new vehicles, character clothing and gear [...]"
BANANA BOAT DLC
size being between carts and helicopter DLC
you will be able disquise as radio <insert random type> and use <number> frequency as your weapon 🤣
ah crap its a dr who dlc
Where can i buy it?
BI Store
@vale valley My server keeps crashing
link! Nao! Can i haz Tardis? 😄
I just bought it @ steam
@glacial rain Sucks to be you then =}
I hope you still appreciate my money, even if it's not through the BI store.
Just watching "Scanning the Horizon"
"Project splendid"
oh my... 🤦
oh tanks will be next year? damn
Can get Jets alone though BIStore as well https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3-jets doesn't seem to be on Steam alone yet
lol at the requirements
I mean...there will be 4 separate DLCs which cost 22,99€ in the bundle and 8,99€ when buying only jets. If they are comparable buying the bundle would be the way to go.
Orange and/or Tac-Ops might be cheaper than Jets
video does mention that Orange is between Karts and Helicopters in terms of size and scope, so could be slightly cheaper
But its still "splendid" XD
yeah, but I guess Tanks would be comparable to Jets.
they mentioned vehicles though
New Vehicles, CLothings, hmm...
well we will have the whole summer to speculate about it
this upcoming new package will explore an interesting and unique perspective on the battlefield.
yeah, rather cryptic
The mocap part of the video looked like carrier flight deck stuff
...horses....
No pls
oh new dlc bundle. time to throw some money
Good thing I paid upfront 😉
I was too impatient to wait the site come back again 😄
I'll ride the SE train until they say I have to pay again, then I'll buy another SE 😄
and remember to thank the Life players for keeping Arma alive
or the guys that bought the DLCs which aren't even used in that context
god, I am easy to trigger nowadays
lol. I do my best not to. There are too many other things to talk about in the Armaverse
true
anyone knows how to disable the wysiwyg editor in the BI forums?
no, sorry.
It's not possible -.- sucks hard tbh @lilac jackal
@vale valley any chance we could get an option to disable wysiwyg in the forums?
oh shit. they are right. the motion capture scene is like one of those flight carrier deck crews.
Then that begs the question " Is Orange a Carrier AND Flight Crew?" Hmmmmm
the video implied that the mocap stuff is a part of jets, i think?
Esp considering the UCAV is Carrier friendly and the USS Freedom bit.
But, BI being BI, whats the OPFOR equiv?
For "Balancing"
CSAT get the island
Speculation is healthy
i don't know if it matters though
Indeed, but Russia parked Kusnetsov off the coast of Syria anyway and US and French carriers have been in the Med and Arabian Gulf likewise in the past few years
just pretend it's CSAT
put jets on it
maybe they have a CSAT skin for it that hides the USS part
i mean i could totally live with that
😄
how simple 😉
Hex (Water)
Though in the video, there's a frame where a dev is selecting between different skins for the Future Sukhoi
Can you imagine?
CSAT space alien carrier has a cloaking device
Maybe they would try to tackle making a moving aircraft carrier.. Then the 50m geom limit hits and they extend that
Would be dreams come true
The carriers are powered by the east wind device.
And Miller is going full-frogman in order to sabotage it.
Thats a campaign I'd play ^
mandarins are orange fruit -> few people speak mandarin chinese in china -> obvious carrier items -> Nato offensive action against CSAT at chinese sea/ pacific
just curve the ramp a bit more and voilà there you have the CSAT carrier
can not confirm or deny that statement.
Orange is the working title since the studio is in Amsterdam. Interesting theory though
Like the ™ at the very end 😄
Amsterdam is just smoke and mirrors.
If you buy the orange DLC you become a veteran_mod.
I'll still stand behind orange tanned women dlc 😉
Lol
tsk tsk, more crash fixes in #perf_prof_branch for those who pay attention ...
☸
I like my game to keep me on my toes
Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.
Like @unique haven behind those tanned women. ;D
How orange we talking? Like oompa loompa orange? Lol
Ayyy wassup?
Orange DLC confirmed Ghost Recon Future Soldier
sry if this was posted already
Yup, it was. Apology accepted 😉
thx @finite relic, won't do it again >.>
its alright, it happens occasionally
https://discord.gg/RRaPyb9 ArmA.Studio (Community Utility, IDE) discord channel
thx Surprise to me in 2am. new jets so cool
@spark zealot it is not like i could post in there
aah, 'thought it's for that my bad
@urban sluice https://youtu.be/C9bCFJ5z1vk?t=248
nah ...
Pokemon Snap meets Arma
orange dlc reveal --> http://img01.lachschon.de/images/133608_Heimreise_1.jpg
So an integrated Splendid Camera in a user held camera... or ingame video recording
there surely are a lot of germans in here lol
There are nein of them in Total
Nein nein nein!
did anyone notice the guy hoarding all the plants in the 'scanning the horizon 2017' video ..
@feral reef , that's 27
Passt.
decent
i've wanted a UN helmet in vanilla for a long time as it is
if there is a carrier in Jets DLC my guess is marine forces for Orange
i mean you can already stick people in assault boats
not sure what marine forces would add
maybe landing craft?
jets
they can operate from islands as well 😛
yeah, but the thing is, if you have a carrier the airspace becomes much bigger
at present if you start a plane in the air in MP, by the time people load in it's flown over half the map
I'd imagine stuff like the Marines use. hovercrafts etc
Evidence for a carrier: 1) motion capture of Catapult Officer, 2) NATO jets are marked NAVY and USS Freedom, 3) US Freedom was the name of the carrier that Saul was building - he's involved with the B01 Studio as mentioned on the DLC page https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3-jets and made the F/A-18X "Black Wasp" addon that appears to be the namesake of the F/A-181 "Black Wasp II"
Yeah, I dont doubt the carrier anymore
Carrier would not be fun in Arma
Rip frames rip servers rip latency
Fuck that
#nothankyou
#mAga
give hundreds of frames and working physics. "fuck you not delivering this a year ago on time and where is the X vehicle???"
Carrier would not be fun in Arma
well i disagree. and you don't have to use it, but it makes plenty sense with jets.
Rip frames rip servers rip latency
there is literally no reason for this to happen just because of the carrier itself.
^^
Orange dlc drones confirmed
Look at the video closely
You can see it on the thought plans
Pics for the lazy motherhuggers in here =} (like me)
nope
Its OV-iOX
trolling too? 😄
omg... sure, they are a plane from 1960 to 2035... 🤦
Its on there
😐
I told you
Miero drones is probably micro drones
There was a bigger Pic of the Sideborad somewhere in here, that text was "OV-iOX" ... but... ah, nvm. believe what you want. hf
Pause the Video and make it fullscreen, while on 1080p^^
Does it say "VON" below that?
For me, it looks like iOX
War Correspondence
MsomethingO Something
VON
Micro drones
Yeah King
Von I am not sure
You don't even know, if it rly means "Drones". Its so blurry.
Knowing whiteboards it could very wel be 10x
You can see a white area where the board is bad
Now tell me one reason, why they should add an 60 Year old plane to the game. Only 1 reason.
same with the D from drones
OV-10X
Proposed version for the USAF's Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance contract. In 2009 Boeing put together plans internally to build a modernized, improved version of the Bronco, called the OV-10X,[47] to satisfy a possible Air Force requirement for a light attack plane.[48] According to Pentagon and industry officials, while the aircraft would maintain much of its 1960s-vintage rugged external design, modernizations would include a computerized glass cockpit, intelligence sensors and smart-bomb-dropping capabilities. Boeing indicates that international interest in restarting production is growing, to compete with other light attack aircraft such as the T-6B Texan II, A-67 Dragon and EMB 314 Super Tucano.[citation needed]
Don't fkn copy the Wikipedia Text^^
w/e, there is more "assuming" than "knowing".
Well arn't we all?
So stating something as "confirmed" is far far far from truth 😉
That was hype
Don_prince (AJ) - Today at 8:11 PM
Orange dlc drones confirmed```
Or sadness in my case as I wanted ships badly
#fakenews
Its all fake news man
lol
Yeah I do
meh... dont like drones
removes all the stakes of dieing
actualy boats then tonks
same X3.
I like boats better
Naval Warfare would be just awesome.
walkable ship hint * hint
no
@vale valley does it still make a difference ordering on BI store or on Steam in terms of what you (BIS) receive?
I saw rumours I could make mine walkable in one way
In SP -> Easy
Something using roadways
MP -> Nope
aha thats the tric
attachwithMovement stuff
(or something called similar, can't remember)
I mean, you can "simulate" it with constant "attachTo" commands and start anims by hand (as you mentioned "canned walking")
But i doubt, it would look that good.
of course there will be drones. drones are the future of airial superiority. sitting in germany dropping bombs in afghanistan
Anyone knows popular Discord or Teamspeak for Battle Royale mod in A3?
Ok, thanks.
=}
OV-10X, oooh that WOULD be nice!
The walkable C130 is impressive, but it's not solid enough for anything similar to be done on a carrier I think
of course there will be drones. drones are the future of airial superiority.
-
drones are boring, and there are enough drones already (quadcopter, plane, helicopter, stealth plane, UGV...and well, an auto turret)
-
they probably aren't the future of air superiority, but of CAS - either way, this contradicts the existance of jets DLC.
With Arma being Arma, it makes me uncomfortable the way you move inside, I don't think you'd be able to get the fidelity you need to facilitate ship to ship small arms combat
@quartz magnet What about an EOD bot with a Wall-E variant?
well there's that remote designator thing...
As someone who is used to move around on a lot of different ships quickly on a photograpic memory copy of the blueprint, I can say there is a lot of opportunitys and those are challenging aswell as ships are mazes
got a probably stupid question but here goes anyways
how to correctly use flares when flying heli or jet
the ai never gets hit by my AA missles but I seem to get hit 80% of the time despite flaring
the AI have somewhat perfect reaction times to missiles
which they've apparently tweaked in dev
i just dump flares once or twice when the missile is closer
i do wish that arma let us deploy flares one at a time
instead of like 8 together
I doubt that one or two flares will help any
That looks awsome
I wish we were getting something like that, instead of F22/F35 hybrid
Well, as it seems we are getting exactly that in the orange DLC, so I don't see your point.
Propeller DLC sound boring though
Think Littlebird agility/speed , with A-10 firepower
I doubt that one or two flares will help any
the idea is to dump flares at regular intervals when you're in a vulnerable position.
if you do that with 8 at a time then you'll be out of flares quick.
Good Example!
yeah, I know how they are supposed to work. Isn't there an option to switch between fire modes though? or is that only for RHS and stuff?
funny thing is that "countermeasure mode" key has been there a freaking long time
it just doesn't do anything
#enginelimitations
ACE gives that functionality to vanilla vehicles too
@last geyser The AI's evasion of AA is not something to compare yourself to. Unless it's some cutting edge craft with a high tech, automated countermeasures, humans don't react that fast
Just practice launching the flares on whatever angle you can get that gets them far away from your aircraft, whilst also banking to a side to get away from those flares you just launched. Try testing using the radar, what the difference is between launching them when the missile is at different distances too.
Discord overlay in Arma 3 working? anyone?
Hey guys, I've been out of arma for a while, how do you guys install mods now? just subscribe on steam?
for a new guy probably just easier to subscribe from workshop and enable mods in the launcher. beware that some mods require other mods and some mods might not work well together. also mods can break some vanilla missions.
not every mod is in the workshop so don't wonder that
I use the Arma launcher. You can set mod-presets for your different servers/communities and launch it respectively
thats why I also linked to A3 Sync and PWS. There is no standard, only personal pref.
but, thanks for the alternate perspective @unique haven & @humble harbor
Hey guys - the PTF does a Steam/Social Media giveaway each month, and we're going to open it up to the rest of the Arma 3 community next month, rather than just our own members.
Anyone have any ideas for what they would like the giveaway prize to be, with a $45-ish pot?
Arma apparel, APEX DLC, Visa card, etc?
DLC 2 bundle 😛
thats out? I didn't even know 😛
Do I smell advertisement?
Yep, https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3-dlc-bundle2 and https://store.bistudio.com/products/arma3-jets for jets alone
@raven chasm Not yet, but there will be 😃
Whole point of a giveaway is to drive user engagement mate
But if you don't want free stuff, that's totally fine too
hehe
I'ma buy Bundle2 for myself right now lmao
Am I the only one who thinks the new CSAT fighter jet looks incredibly fat and large compared to what it's based on?
But that looks awesome - we'll probably end up doing that.
It's a shame there's no dual cockpit with this jet DLC...
Not a fan of mods unless it comes as a modpack.
@urban sluice your right, there should be a dual cockpit
It's too bad there's not a C130 or anything
It's the one thing I hoped the DLC would bring.
A fixed wing adaptation of the Tilt-Rotor they have would be AWESOME
@jaunty whale APEX or the new bundle, but I'd give an option of the 2 ( in case someone doesnt have APEX)
thats what we were planning (not those 2 options, but just having a choice of two in general)
Ive given a few APEX out this year myself.
😄
We did Mafia 3 last month
but we just started up social media pages, so we figured we'd open up to non-members for their opening, and make it a monthly thing.
My wife is pissed off at me too.
Armahosts.com just sponsored us, so shoutout to them for making it possible too 😃
hahaha I'm sure she would be
Props to @urban sluice
I'd prefer that sort of promotion to the "Life stuff", sorry @urban sluice
Life stuff?
Gave out a couple copies of Arma + All DLC myself haha
😉
I'm curious to see how the tank DLC will turn out with that T-14 and probably few other tanks.
would be interesting
Rate apex 1-10
Boats are my thing but tonks will do
As much as I feel hyped for Jet DLC, it feels like a huge let down to me, it doesn't add anything that unique, just single cockpit fighters with different technologies.
No VTOL fighter jet which would have been hilarious as a comment on the damn VTOL V-44X, and a dual cockpit fighter jet.
Alright, gonna hop back to Teamspeak
but I'll post something in here April 1st, when we start the giveaway - we'll probably do choice of either of the two DLC bundles, or APEX.
I mean after all since they implemented such a VTOL feature they could've used it to more of an extent.
Bad day to offer giveaway.
yeah
March 31st then
but it's a monthly giveaway - April giveaway is chosen at the end of April, May is chosen at end of may, etc
@urban sluice Depends on how long youve been here.
but yeah, maybe a day early so it doesn't spur any conspiracy theories
Pardon, conversations are getting mixed.
My bad, I'm stepping out haha
Are you saying the 2nd thing would be nice as in a dual cockpit fighter?
@urban sluice yes
2nd as in 2nd of April (1st of April is prank day)
@urban sluice Jets DLC adds loads (disregarding that actual jets). Sensor upgrades, etc.
I just spent fucking $35 on Apex because of the notifications for using Apex dlc AMA
That's mostly a part of the free update all jets are receiving.
So I wouldn't count the features with the jet DLC.
@languid comet Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? A little decorum is appreciated here.
Though I appreciate the work they put into the jets in the Jet DLC it isn't very unique to me compared to what we already have in the game. Well maybe that Unmanned bomber is but that's probably it.
the big complaint for a very lonmg time was no A to A combat. Now we are getting it, and now people complain..
Big surprise. People were complaining in the dev branch that they've given tanks a proper FCS lasing
@urban sluice You forget that the DLC gives free functionality, but paid content
which is a pretty great DLC strategy
It's not supposed to be a game changer that seperates the community - it just adds on to it
And that's BI's general plan with the smaller DLC
Not every DLC can be an APEX, you know?
The Jet DLC and Jet improvements are quite separate in my eyes.
Jet improvements are coming IN the Jet DLC
A lot of it is already out. Like the damage simulations.
You get the benefits of the Jet DLC without having to purchase it. (just not the jets)
It's giving dynamic loadouts - similar to the many aircraft mods, which is going to be AWESOME to have in vanilla Arma
thats my main love for it - and that's free (with the base jets)
Dynamic loadouts are a feature free to the game and works even with the standard jets.
Which is coming in the DLC
"free features"
paid content = the actual jets themselves
It's releasing together with the DLC.
yea
Not in the DLC.
It's a free portion of the DLC project
It's being made, and FUNDED, by the Jets DLC.
that is the purpose of the DLC
the people who pay for the content, pay for the features to be pushed to the community at large
It already has a release date anyways.
Which means buying it or not will not change anything as there is a release date.
Well they're releasing it because they're banking on people buying it
There is of course the possiblity that people could all boycott it - but then that would hurt future DLC releases.
or development releases of the mythical Arma 4 hahaha
And dual cockpit capabilities already exist in ArmA so using it to make the Jets DLC more unique wouldn't be too much.
You've lost me
Like the CSAT VTOL, and attack helicopters.
rofl
Ah this reminds me of meetings with product management and the lovely amount of scope creep . "Its not too much to add", they say.
I think I'm not understanding what you're upset about
Though you can't take control as a gunner on the Kajman, you can on the Commanche.
Well
I think the problem is with the idea of dual cockpits
Is if you do dual cockpits, you have to give the second guy something to do rather than just copilot
Which means he gets weapon systems.
A jet is OP enough, adding a jet that has a guy solely focused on weapons systems
means that jet will crush anyone that doesn't have DLC
and ruin the balance of the game and make it "pay to play" in the air
but that's just my opinion. I think they made a good choice leaving it out
It isn't as overpowered as it relies heavily on communication between the two.
All I'm saying
In my milsim - when we have a double seat F18 fly
It stomps the AI
doesn't even have to get close to the ground
Any air to ground stomps the AI in ArmA 3.
When it's a single seater, theres a lot more risk to the pilot, and its not as OP
but a two seat could stay out of AA range
Because he just zooms in on the flir camera
😃
Just my two cents - but I gtg
You know there's a drag calculator on the jets that can lock on from up to 4 KM away.
talk to you later mate
@urban sluice You dont get the Arma Tick/Tock do you?
If you're trying to make a noise the only thing that comes to mind is a clock.
Its a serious question.
I'm not joking on my answer either.
as a Moderator, I'm not joking.
Tick gets the improvements, Tock gets the content.
Tick does not pay, Tock Does.
Users that do not not pay for DLC get the improvements in the engine, while users that do, get the content (jets)
so, you may get improvements in past content, (sensors, etc) but not the new jets.
So, those that pay for DLC provide you with extra functionality.
If so wouldn't that mean even if dual cockpit was in the Jet DLC. Tick would still have the feature and Tock would still only have the jets?
You don't own the DLC -> You can get in Cargo
You own the DLC -> You can fly it
extremely simplified
OMG @feral reef has finished Brokeback Mountain 😉 (joke really)
🇫 🇺 🇨 .....
If you don't own it would gunner still work?
😄
Gas no Gas
Exactly.
0 or 1
Fart or no fart.
haha
@feral reef Didnt work out for you did it?
I randomly landed on this convo when i misclicked the wrong channel, but I have to say I loved reading it
Some convos are "deeper" than others, but in a respectful way.
scroll back to 10 hours ago. those were some conversations worth to read.
@humble harbor Imagine me saying to go back a few years, lol
Anyone got appid of legacy?
Prev build
It follows a trend of like Legacy164Build or something
@calm orchid Metropolisrp#1561 Arma3Legacy164 -> replace 164 with w/e last build was
So Arma3Legacy166 should be it
@urban sluice is the Dynamic Vehicle Loadouts thing available on dev build yet?
It's been for a while now but has to be configured per-jet so for a while only the Wipeout (Dynamic loadout) had it, then came the Blackfoot (Dynamic loadout)... now there's a Buzzard (Dynamic loadout) too, with thanks to @proud pollen for image link: http://imgur.com/lU6gWsM The in-game default for that Buzzard is two Falchions, two Macers, and two seven-rocket Shrieker HE pods.
@spring heart In the new roadmap they mention infrared sensors not working if the engines get flipped off.
Hopefully there's heat buildup
At last check of the sensors BIKI page description for infrared there's six seconds of engine on required before detection is possible, then presumably a long cooldown time to prevent this exploit.
OMG JUST SAW JETS DLC IMAGES
IVE NEVER BEEN MORE HYPED
Jets are literally like my thing and I'm so excited to be able to make in depth missions with them now
@uncut jolt SAME!!! 🙃
@primal latch There's been and may still be further tweaks -- try the Caesar BTT from Apex for example -- but as previously stated no fixed-wing AFM will happen
the caesar is ... not sure of the word
not good
bah if they don't do that then i'm probably not buying it
Plot twist: Carrier is actually for CSAT. Why not NATO? Budget cuts. :>
@primal latch As it stands apparently the helicopter AFM only happened in part because it'd already been done for Take On Helicopters... oukej posted a more comprehensive explanation on the forums about both why the helicopter AFM and why no fixed-wing AFM
Honestly the flight model in Arma hasn't been terrible it just had no way of simulating advanced damage effects
At average speeds or higher it handles pretty well
things only get weird at low speeds
I actually was hoping for more advanced fighter jet AI
@uncut jolt it just had no way of simulating advanced damage effects And that's been addressed, see the "blinking out HUD" in the video upon a missile hit to the Black Wasp II... as for jet AI the improvements seem to be bits-and-pieces
Already lost a Buzzard to engine failure after too many low-altitude strafing runs against an armored vehicle with a sufficiently high-elevation MG
man really should someone make a moon nazi mod
like iron sky, that whole damn fleet with UFOs and scifi style nazi soldiers
Isn't there an entire game dedicated to moon Nazis
Anyway, Cessna is the only plane at the moment that has a flight model that I like :D
it'll be more fun in arma
i mean the only scifi nazi-like we have is STARWARS and the black order
but russian hide STARWARS so deep and the black order has no more update to bring heavy troopers
but russian hide STARWARS so deep
what
after they shut down the develp of SW mod
I find out another SW mod with load of crafts&gear weapons
and even stardestoryer
it's shared on red bear community but, they deleted it on ther sync server so I guess they only share it when they decide to start a contest on it
oh yea and there is a scifi mod called lost dragon
still in processing
They've most likely deleted it because if they get caught with it, they'll get the crap sued out of them.
Dunno, I think theyre still at it. Though in sekret.. Lost Dragons menitoned though!! 😍
yea but still sad that the good things can't share to the community due to some copyright shit
@thin sable LOL I love what lost dragons has complished so much, and after 3 years of development they actually got that badass armor monster worked.
Its been that long already?! Joking.. 😄 Sorry we've not been able to push out a release though. Still so much to do.
Chortles, you say dynamic loadout has to be defined per jet. Do you happend to know what magic is needed in the p3d? I am guessing a proxy? Tried a few but with no luck.
Trying to enable it our jets
@sakjdbasd#6542 it's not "copyright shit". This community has zero tolerance for IP theft.
@finite relic not saying IP theft have right, just some harmless free mod that could do sooo many goodys to the AA community is canceled due to the fear of IP law suit, it's just kinda sad.
@thin sable that's cool, lost dragon is some amazing work and perfect for alien mission😝
Well if they used assets from their game, I see the problem.. but if they created stuff on their own - like the halo recreation mod
I dont see the problem
the sad thing is that HALO mod become one of the best, but T-rex and SW are gone.
and there was once a damn awesome terminator mod, vanished even without a declaration, 😱 .
@white cobalt yeah its always problem when using others ips. The Halo guys can use the Halo theme no problems there thanks to how Microsoft wrote its license, but its hard to organize a large group to work on something for long time like what making Arma mod takes.
yea so hopefully the lost dragon can be a successful project
😄 We're original ip so no problems anywhere. Except of course if/when we hit Armas limits.
weapon model.cfg doesn't work on launchers with a defined "modelSpecial"?
@red bolt no, modelSpecial versions of the launcher can't be animated and it causes all sorts of weird behaviour. Can use isSelected for some applications people used modelSpecial for previously
da12thMonkey, thank you. For this (M72 launcher) its actually ok to just use weapons config, and then use ACE to handle the "spent" model.
as for the dynamic loadouts stuff. I'm not sure. Firewill has got it working on his addons by the looks. To my understanding the plane only requires proxies for the pylons, which are configured with a new simulationtype in cfgNonAIVehicles. Pylon models appear to contain the proxies for the missiles with maverickWeapon simulation
At least he said he was able to cut the number of stores proxies on the F-16 he made, down from like 40-odd to just 8
anyone had problems with their crosshair in helicopters disappearing (while using ace3)?
alright apparently it's not a ace problem but a general arma problem
This is a slightly specific question I am aware but has anyone in this server read The Plague by Albert Camus by any chance?
This conversation might have been had before, but what do you guys think about arma 3 mine detectors?
Specially in the context of multiplayer, where mines are OP, except if there is a mine detector, in which case they go from 100 to 0 and become utterly useless
well it could be balanced a bit, with mine detectors beeping, and the detection radius reduced
@vale valley Is there any way to have a short talk with your game designers? I'd have a couple of important questions
apart from that, to me they're more of a mission "gimmick", but can be made interesting sometimes
I'd have a couple of important questions
me too haha
"important"
I can trust Ezcoo to actually have important questions 😄
I mean, instead of asking in here 😄
Well, I'd like to have a short talk with them about working as game designer for Bohemia before my application deadline
But yeah, if you can answer those questions too, why not 😃
Because moving to Czech in this life situation is quite a big change for me, and I'd like to make some things sure before I decide to move 😄
See, told ya I could trust Ezcoo 😄
Man, i hope you end up with them, will finally get decent VON 😂
Haha, at least someone has noticed my spamming in VON thread 😄
From the latest dev video, my favourite part was the comfy studio they have
Too many windows, too many Plants, too much light.
0 / 10 Bunker rating.
also every pic/vid coming from BI seems to have them drinking berocca by the gallon
I really wish they did a bohemia insider or something 😄
Yep, but only if it shows the room with wall to wall monitors, scrolling through contstantly updating social media feeds, all showing tweets and posts with keywords relating to "optimization" "rewrite engine" "low fps". There's one guy in there Clockwork Orange style with the eye hooks and eye drops. God bless.
I just noticed that - if you rewatch the Scanning Horizon 2017 video - flares are renamed to "CM Burst" in the top right.
So I'm guessing we have the option to toggle between burst and single modes.
I think you can right now? Atleast with ACE
Well atleast 100% some mods like RHS have that feature
Not in vanilla.
sm on aircraft? why
I'm wondering if adjusting loadouts will have anything else to offer like differnt flare setups and other things
Most aircraft can't really switch up countermeasure loadouts except ratio of chaff/flares
I doubt it for flares, but I do hope we have the option to hide pylons on the F/A-181 and Shikra for that stealthy look. :3
naa it's flares, the position of it
but you can tell NATO are really damned, using the obsolete aircraft to recreate advanced fighter in 2035, but F35 flying around during 09.
but CSAT, holy shit they got that crazy ass sci fi VTOL
Tbh, though I would've loved to have seen an F-35/F-22, I really like the Black Wasp. The design is nice and refreshing imo.
lol ture
what happend to f-35 from the trailers
Shikra is very sexy too. Gryphon looks nice model-wise but the textures don't look that good currently.
I thought Jets DLC CSAT wasn't VTOL
tho it is the year of 2035, F35 become so old in that time
are you nuts?
rabbit im talking aboot that VTOL in APEX
F35 will easily be operating in 2035
I had a weak time today
The F-35 from 2011/2012 was meant to be improved but it was instead cut. It was named the F-35F.
it's likely replacement for F35 won't be released until 2040 or later
that is the problem, all you can see is BI decide NATO can't use F35 in 2035
Also yeah, F-35 will probably surpass 2050s.
but they can back to the black sea
For now its all borrowd government money....
I be more Black Wasp design is based on BI wanting to have some fun
^
and not have to worry about royalities
Blackwasp looks like F-22/F-35 have love child
😱
The US uses more aircraft for sure, you can find destroyed C-192 Samsons (AKA C-130Js) at the airport during Game Over. There's also references to an F-35 in the Xi'ans manual description.
also V22
but I'm pretty sure Black Wasp is BI art department having some fun
but destoryed
Black Wasp II is an F-22 + F-18 with some F-35 influence (cockpit).
yea first time I thought it is the F22
and CSAT's aircraft is T50
then I find out naaa, they are updated old model
The Shikra is a T-50 + SU-35 hybrid, I believe.
it's more SU35 than T50
(Honestly was hoping for a SU-47 + T-50 hybrid, I have a thing for swept forward wings but the Shikra is nice looking.)
I doubt I'll get it, but I'm looking forward to the update
I wish I could
but all my money is on wildland
and hell that game is bad, but I played more than 2h so steam tell me to F off when I try to get my money back
😫
Well I mean, it's Ubisoft so what did you expect in terms of quality. :P
Lol
they cheated me again with that fancy E3 trailer
😂 never trust Ub's so called "pre-alpha real time footage"
you should have watched some streams. I looks hella repetitive.
concerning the jets dlc I am good with the modern F/A 18. The F35 might be the most modern jet but it looks boring as hell.
also I would have liked the Eurofighter to be the independent jet instead of the Griphon
might be a copyright issue, maybe?
Still can't wait to give all of them a try. Especially that sexy Black Wasp.
Dunno.
yeah, easily the most interesting DLC of those four upcoming.
especially the aircraft carrier
also since I was in the Airforce back then I feel more bound towards aircrafts 😄
I doubt that that humongous bomber jet will be good against the Black Wasp 😛
Tanks DLC and Jets DLC equally interest me the most.
I just love tanking, and I love flying.
there aren't many infos aboot tank
Especially dogfighting.
but I think I saw T14 in that video
T-14 was concept art so we may or may not see it, or see it in a different form.
tho it's werid to see T14 like future tank when we already have T100
they should really bring back T100's big gun from alpha version
Malden Free DLC.
I think Malden will be bigger than the original
there are more stuff in the map than before
lol and that orange dlc is kinda mystery, still a code name even it's the second one
Red Cross most likely.
also I think there are some connection between tac-ops and project argo
Dobut it
as there 1st step to try to improve the gameplay, they'll update arma3- a current product
