vale valley
twilit oar
#

Its using stolen content thats stealing @smoky phoenix

lilac jackal
#

btw. ArmA.Studio release will be today or tomorrow
depending on how fast we can prepare the text posts

unreal rivet
#

congrats @lilac jackal

wispy pelican
#

@proud wraith it isn't....as specified by BIS monetization. Stealign is when you provide game content for money

lilac jackal
#

anyone experience in writing good reddit posts?

#

mine always look kind of ... odd 🙈

#

thx @unreal rivet

smoky phoenix
#

So why don´t you guys close A3L for example... giving only class 3 vests to who pays 15 dollars..

humble harbor
#

in /r/arma ?

lilac jackal
#

yep @humble harbor

twilit oar
#

@smoky phoenix people need to report the servers for someone to take action

lilac jackal
#

maybe armadev too

unreal rivet
#

@lilac jackal have a look on reddittext.com they have formatting cheatsheet

lilac jackal
#

also got enhanced reddit addon

humble harbor
#

I don't think you need to have a great text to get attention in the arma subreddit lol

gritty wigeon
#

@lilac jackal what is this arma studio u speak of

unreal rivet
#

oh well I tried 😄

fervent jolt
#

oh the "beuaty" of Life servers

fleet lake
#

@unreal rivet tried it and still crashed, 2 people with all the mods

urban sluice
#

Phantom is "stealing" though - He was the guy leaking nopixel, A3Pl and so on

fleet lake
#

and 2 people with 1 mod at the time

smoky phoenix
#

That stealing argument is trash... this is a game and people only spend extra money if they want...

urban sluice
#

But @smoky phoenix you sounds like a friend of him

gritty wigeon
#

]lol

lilac jackal
smoky phoenix
#

I´m not friend of anyone

unreal rivet
#

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

smoky phoenix
#

ALL the life servers have shit from other servers... maybe the only exception is a3pl

soft rain
#

What a load of tosh....

fervent jolt
#

^

humble harbor
#

he is being sarcastic about it lol

last geyser
#

Sarcasm is still hard to detect in text form

#

Technology isn't there yet

smoky phoenix
#

But he is right, Life servers is keeping arma 3 alive and you are shitting in them

vale valley
#

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

last geyser
#

Where do you get that statistic

unreal rivet
#

rip.

twilit oar
#

heh lifespan

fervent jolt

😊

Veterans FTW

#

Did Selods get banned?

humble harbor
#

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.

vale valley
#

@urban sluice ?

smoky phoenix
#

hahahaahhaah good joke.... there was always life servers in other games wayyy before arma2/3.... good joke

last geyser
#

That's just the thing

urban sluice
#

@vale valley Phantom just dissapeared from the Discord after FM did the countdown and wrote goodbye

fervent jolt
#

People's behaviour on the internet is always kind dodgy

soft rain
#

Shame... lol

humble harbor
#

good. he was being really rude and ignorant

gritty wigeon
#

Im glad i moved on to millsim and got out the life game

urban sluice
#

That's how Selods is 😄

twilit oar
#

@vale valley the guy with the name "Phantom Metropolisrp" = selods

vale valley
#

there were RPG communities in Arma since 2002 but the last mass-casual wave turned the behaviour upside down ...

finite relic
#

In the spirt of all things Arma, he may be unbanned.

smoky phoenix
#

let´s see if identity can give us more support

last geyser
#

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

fervent jolt
#

I can tell by the way the Public Zeus servers are ever since Christmass sale

vale valley
#

@urban sluice ye FM banned him for trolling, i unbanned him but only if he keeps the spam out of this server

urban sluice
#

@vale valley Oh - A guy like him should be banned - Ripping everybody elses stuff, using things without having the rights to and so on

humble harbor
#

all servers should be monitored by admins. doesnt matter which mods

gritty wigeon
#

one of "them"is he?

fleet lake
#

@unreal rivet yeah i tried all that

smoky phoenix
#

Like he was the only one doing it

lilac jackal
#

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

fleet lake
#

@urban sluice who are you? i would call myself a Arma life vet aswell, and are u sure its selods?

urban sluice
#

@fleet lake 100% sure

fleet lake
#

@urban sluice How?

last geyser
#

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

humble harbor
#

invade & annex was the best when Arma was in Alpha @last geyser

fervent jolt
#

@last geyser The pub Zeus servers can be fun. Depends which of the usual suspects is Admining and Zeusing ...

fleet lake
#

@humble harbor agreed

humble harbor
#

those british server man

malden dlc hype

urban sluice

#

@urban sluice lol, how did u get his PID?

humble harbor
#

everybody was working together....on a public server

fervent jolt
#

HOw do you get multiple game bans? ... maybe I got to rephraze that ... how do you get even one?

finite relic
#

@urban sluice Too much to even type. In a nutshell "everything is Bohemias fault"

#

@fervent jolt Hacks, cheats

urban sluice
#

@fleet lake Not that hard to find - But check the customurl - selods

fervent jolt
#

that was kind of rethorical ... just figured people know that there is anticheat in most games nowadays

gritty wigeon
#

the 77th servers are top notch

half olive
#

@gritty wigeon long time no see

fervent jolt
#

and in a MP game IDK its just good manners to like you know not cheat

gritty wigeon
#

yo heisen

last geyser
#

Might give them a try

#

Are they running any mods?

finite relic
#

Since many use Reddit, they are bound to be fooled by all the incorrect info there.

gritty wigeon
#

nah vanilla, but its well run with a good mission

fervent jolt
#

@last geyser nope vanilla ... they are the official BI servers

gritty wigeon
#

^^

smoky phoenix
#

@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

last geyser
#

I'll check them out after me and friends are done "liberating" tanoa

humble harbor
#

@urban sluice are there EU servers or it is an american host?

gritty wigeon
#

here we go again jeez

last geyser
#

If we ever manage to do that

urban sluice
#

@smoky phoenix So it's okay that he leaks everyone's server files, scripts and so on ?

sweet axle
fleet lake
#

@urban sluice and what are those costs?

last geyser
#

I dont get the appeal of life rp, can you not just play GTA online?

finite relic
#

Not to condone the leaks, but they served to bring down quite a few content stealing life servers.

#

"Not that they all do"

smoky phoenix
#

@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...

twilit oar
#

Also, I don't think keeping arma 3 alive is a good term to use. I don't think Arma 3 is dying

last geyser
#

Its not even done growing yet

smoky phoenix
#

isn´t dying because of youtubers playing life mods bruh

twilit oar
#

thats a good joke

smoky phoenix
#

just close all life mods and see whats going to happen

twilit oar
#

I would love to see that

humble harbor
#

yeah, lets do that in fact

twilit oar
#

good idea

humble harbor
#

I wouldnt mind a smaller community

fleet lake
#

guys try go on twitch 9/10 people are playing life mods

humble harbor
#

if it would be less toxic

unreal rivet
#

@sweet axle danke for the link

last geyser
#

Twitch is no benchmark

fleet lake
#

i know Twitch is no benchmark, but thats what people see. that how people get into Arma

humble harbor
#

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.

fervent jolt
#

"Fr4Ged - heute um 16:24 Uhr
if it would be less toxic"

twilit oar
#

^ Besides, lifemods are more entertaining for viewers/streamers because of the interaction

fleet lake
#

@humble harbor if no one watches it, how is people gonna know about it?

smoky phoenix
#

Goood luck surviving with vanilla servers hahahah

finite relic
#

Funny, everyone I know bought Arma without YouTube or twitch

fervent jolt
#

do you even Milsim?

unreal rivet
#

"goes to work/study, goes home, has dinner, turns on pc to play going to work, going home, having dinner" I dont get it.

native charm
#

Do we have angry life people shit posting?

finite relic
#

Lol

#

I'll give you one guess

smoky phoenix
#

I did before yes... it´s not addictive as life mods

fleet lake
#

@finite relic yes there will always be ppl who buy games without research. but there always will be aswell

gritty wigeon
#

lol, modding its self is a game mode

twilit oar
#

@fleet lake Twitch/Youtube weren't around when @finite relic Started playing

gritty wigeon
#

i have more fun doing that than actually playing

twilit oar
#

😛

fervent jolt
#

why would you be addicted to a game?

smoky phoenix
#

I´m just waiting for Identity to develop their life game mode...

native charm
#

has anyone stop question and frisk the life players for stolen mods?

humble harbor
#

steve, no one blames you for playing Life but stop downplaying the other mods or vanilla. People enjoy that stuff. @smoky phoenix

unreal rivet
#

@gritty wigeon less drama innit

finite relic
#

15 years. 15 years I've been playing Arma and its predecessors.

last geyser
#

Check out the more serious YouTube content for arma 3 that shit gets a lot of views

gritty wigeon
#

@unreal rivet too true i love it haha

finite relic
#

Or was it 16, I'm not sure now

fleet lake
#

@last geyser Link?

gritty wigeon
#

been there done the life stuff moved on, my life is less stressful now haha

unreal rivet
#

old-age, memory etc @finite relic 😛

smoky phoenix
#

@humble harbor Just saying that arma 3 won´t survive without it...

finite relic
#

Good joke

humble harbor
#

that is your opinion though

#

also you stated that like 5 times now

twilit oar
#

Probably would, it would survive fine

smoky phoenix
#

Would survive with less 80% population

unreal rivet
native charm
#

@urban sluice that's public

last geyser
#

@fleet lake dsylexci, luetin09 and operator drewski come to mind

humble harbor
#

how old are you, steve?

native charm
#

there is TON of Arma3 activity that goes on in private servers

smoky phoenix
#

What are you going to start insulting me because you are losing an argument?

humble harbor
#

wtf

gritty wigeon
#

ccome on kids play nice

#

we are in danger of flogging a seriously dead horse here

humble harbor
#

you can't even verify your thesis, mate

finite relic
#

ShackTac? @urban sluice

smoky phoenix
#

It´s pure facts, like he said you have 90% of the top servers are life mods...

native charm
#

I would argue pop doesn't matter

humble harbor
#

that still wouldn't be an argument for Arma dieing when there would be no Life mod

unreal rivet
#

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

native charm
#

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

finite relic
#

3 pages of 100+ members on A3 Units page for (realism / semi-realism)

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

smoky phoenix
#

Arma 3 could survive ofc, but with what cost?

humble harbor
#

no, it is a theoretical argument. you can't just say that Arma would die. it is purely hypothetical

last geyser
#

A better community

native charm
#

This conversation is pointless

#

only way to settle it would be to know which % of players ONLY play life

finite relic
#

Yes

native charm
#

and which player largely life, then which don't

unreal rivet
#

or you could just stop feeding the trolls

gritty wigeon
#

jeez we still arguing about who can get more mates to come to their party

unreal rivet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

finite relic
#

Its a shame since the hammer had to come out a few times as well.

gritty wigeon
#

qality over quantity for me

#

quality*

humble harbor
#

^

smoky phoenix
#

yeah but you need quantity to have some money in your account...

humble harbor
#

oh boy

finite relic
#

That is the #1 problem right there

smoky phoenix
#

after all, it´s all about the numbers

finite relic
#

No, its a game. Its not about how much money you can get from it

humble harbor
#

tell that EA lol

smoky phoenix
#

hum... I don´t think so

last geyser
#

Ea is not BI

#

They have different goals

humble harbor
#

I know. just saying

gritty wigeon
#

@smoky phoenix oh dear.....

smoky phoenix
#

You wouldn´t be here if it wasn´t for the money lol

urban sluice
native charm
#

so, how about them $localsportsteam?

finite relic
#

@urban sluice Remember when we had the convo about money??

native charm
#

snicker

unreal rivet
#

can we just stop feeding him already, this conversation isnt a conversation anymore and hasnt been for a while

finite relic
#

well, it is a milsim game...soooo

humble harbor
#

@urban sluice I always wonder how those people could achieve something in live with such an attitude...

urban sluice
#

Agreed

finite relic
#

If you want GTA or The Sims, you are free to buy them as well

smoky phoenix
#

Or maybe Identity will take over life mode servers...

native charm
#

Is this entire conversation because x64 is crashing life servers? Is that how this stupidity got started?

unique haven
#

yes

urban sluice
#

@native charm Yeap

humble harbor
#

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

finite relic
#

Most likely beer

native charm
#

@urban sluice Our server has been memory dumping with x64

finite relic
#

Many Units send beer care packages to BI

native charm
#

the clients aren't crashing

humble harbor
smoky phoenix
#

@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...

native charm
#

outside the usual client crashes

#

is Identity standalone or using Arma3 Engine?

smoky phoenix
#

Standalone

native charm
#

@urban sluice This Arma3 server has encountered an error and must close

finite relic
#

@smoky phoenix Since you seem so intent on promoting Identity, please post all further info in #other_games_chat

smoky phoenix
#

I´m not lol, Someone just asked what was identity..

finite relic
#

youve posted it multiple times

native charm
#

We thought it was memory pressure at first, but monitoring has revealed otherwise

smoky phoenix
#

You drunk?

finite relic
#

let me check... mmm, nope. But I will check the search history.

humble harbor
#

so the new Nato jet from the DLC seems to be a modern version of the F/A 18, doesn't it?

unreal rivet
#

yeah

finite relic
#

Yep, multiple

unreal rivet
#

f18 /f22 hybrid

unreal rivet
#

@humble harbor did you see the video?

#

more jets in it

finite relic
#

at 3:11, 3:27, 3:38 Whos drunk now?

humble harbor
#

I was trying to but this conversation hold me busy lol

unreal rivet
#

yeah ima watch it again in a bit

native charm
#

I still want Turboprop instead of jets

smoky phoenix
#

I gived examples yes but i´m not advertising

finite relic
#

Me too Rabbit

#

Ive told you where to post it, thanks.

native charm
#

but I guess they are saving me from having to buy it

humble harbor
#

'Black Wasp' niceee

unreal rivet
#

I trade places with you guys and you can have turboprops minimum of 6 times a day 😛

smoky phoenix
#

" Since you seem so intent on promoting Identity" ofc

native charm
#

I'm not sure what Air Superiority fighters bring to table in Arma3 Gameplay

humble harbor
#

just put the 30mm gatling gun on the Cessna

finite relic
#

Back in OFP you could add one to a player

unreal rivet
#

@humble harbor so you can watch it go backwards? 😄

native charm
#

that's just so goofy thought

#

and Turboprops have no bigger then .50c

sweet axle
humble harbor
#

oy! I hope he get some revenue lol

glacial rain
#

@vale valley fix the arma3server.exe

humble harbor
#

the Griphon AAF jet looks like a Rafale. the french jet.

sweet axle
#

It's a Saab Gripen

humble harbor
#

yeah, seems right

sweet axle
#

Also note the "side project" mentioned in the old Black Wasp thread...

unique haven
#

I was about to ask if anyone know do John_Spartan and Saul have fingers in the development

quartz magnet
#

i wish the CSAT thing looked better though

humble harbor
#

It is russian. what do you expect lol

quartz magnet
#

Huh?

vale valley
#

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 ...

quartz magnet
#

Sukhois are really cool looking jets

sweet axle
quartz magnet
#

Even MiGs for that matter

vale valley
#

@urban sluice that's new particle effect code 😉

quartz magnet
#

Also, honest question, does anyone use UAVs? :/

humble harbor
#

that is just their front lawn tank getting warmed up

sweet axle
native charm
#

IMO, Arma3 NATO jet looks like cross between F-22/35

quartz magnet
#

they keep making new UAVs, i don't know who uses them 😄

twilit oar
#

@sweet axle yoo when did that get released

native charm
#

We don't use them in my unit all that often, I do know some Milsim units do use them more often

humble harbor
#

yeah, we use UAVs on private servers. you don't need a dedicated pilot when using a UAV operator within your squad. @quartz magnet

vale valley
#

wip on that one too, soonish

native charm
#

how does that work?

#

using UAVs instead of pilot? Like for CAS?

humble harbor
#

ye

#

bombing runs etc

finite relic
#

I like the Darter for recon

humble harbor
#

if you want to place enemy armor but don't have a lot of AT on foot

native charm
#

problem we have with them is they are extremely powerful

quartz magnet
#

Darter is the only thing we use

finite relic
#

reduce the amount of onboard ammo and dont allow rearm.

quartz magnet
#

I&A?

humble harbor
#

or adapt your mission/zeus to it

quartz magnet
#

invade and annex

#

oh

twilit oar
#

bought that dlc bundle 2

#

hype hype

quartz magnet
#

Fr4Ged that's the thing, unless the mission is built around the UAV it becomes tough

unique haven
#

yeah the UAVs need more level sets and ASL option, not just a script

humble harbor
#

you would see a lot of UAVs crashing into hills when using ASL lol

quartz magnet
#

^

unique haven
#

set it up enough high and nope you won't

quartz magnet
#

that's....also a point.

humble harbor
#

or manually operate it

quartz magnet
#

i mean highest point in altis isn't more than 300m (probably less, can't remember)

humble harbor
#

above see level?

unique haven
#

yep shouldn't be too much higher

quartz magnet
#

^^pun intended?

humble harbor
#

imagine walking up a 500m hill though

#

I found a hill being 312m.

#

Thronos north of Oreokastro is 350 lol

native charm
#

the overpowered part of UAV isn't always the weapons, it's the thermal eye in the sky

quartz magnet
#

to be fair, thermals can be disabled

humble harbor
#

is there a new map being introduced with the DLC as well?

quartz magnet
#

which DLC

#

New map is Malden, which is it's own thing (see video)

#

Tanks look quite interesting BTW

humble harbor
#

a okay. they are talking about all dlcs

unreal rivet
#

malden is coming to A3 via project argo development

quartz magnet
#

i really hope either Tac Ops or Orange DLC includes some radio cosplay stuff (TFAR/ACRE) @vale valley pls poke devs 😛

unreal rivet
#

I hope orange is ships/naval dlc, would make sence sinc you have air / ground dlc's inbound anyway 😃

humble harbor
#

"there will be a couple of new vehicles, character clothing and gear [...]"

BANANA BOAT DLC

Just watching "Scanning the Horizon"

"Project splendid"
oh my... 🤦

humble harbor
#

oh tanks will be next year? damn

sweet axle
humble harbor
#

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.

sweet axle
#

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

feral reef
#

But its still "splendid" XD

humble harbor
#

yeah, but I guess Tanks would be comparable to Jets.

finite relic
#

So, "Orange" looks to be small, so no ships

#

or not many

humble harbor
#

they mentioned vehicles though

feral reef
#

New Vehicles, CLothings, hmm...

humble harbor
#

well we will have the whole summer to speculate about it

finite relic
#

this upcoming new package will explore an interesting and unique perspective on the battlefield.

humble harbor
#

yeah, rather cryptic

scarlet flume
#

The mocap part of the video looked like carrier flight deck stuff

finite relic
#

...horses....

feral reef
#

No pls

unique haven
#

oh new dlc bundle. time to throw some money

finite relic
#

Good thing I paid upfront 😉

unique haven
#

I was too impatient to wait the site come back again 😄

finite relic
#

I'll ride the SE train until they say I have to pay again, then I'll buy another SE 😄

humble harbor
#

and remember to thank the Life players for keeping Arma alive

finite relic
#

right.... 😉

#

not the 5000+ that bought it before it was even released.

humble harbor
#

or the guys that bought the DLCs which aren't even used in that context

#

god, I am easy to trigger nowadays

finite relic
#

lol. I do my best not to. There are too many other things to talk about in the Armaverse

humble harbor
#

true

lilac jackal
#

anyone knows how to disable the wysiwyg editor in the BI forums?

finite relic
#

no, sorry.

feral reef
#

It's not possible -.- sucks hard tbh @lilac jackal

lilac jackal
#

what?

#

...

#

ok ...

sleek ocean
#

For jet images go here

lilac jackal
#

@vale valley any chance we could get an option to disable wysiwyg in the forums?

humble harbor
#

oh shit. they are right. the motion capture scene is like one of those flight carrier deck crews.

quartz magnet
#

😱

#

funny thing about orange is

#

it sounds like Apex sans map

finite relic
#

Then that begs the question " Is Orange a Carrier AND Flight Crew?" Hmmmmm

quartz magnet
#

the video implied that the mocap stuff is a part of jets, i think?

finite relic
#

Esp considering the UCAV is Carrier friendly and the USS Freedom bit.

#

But, BI being BI, whats the OPFOR equiv?

#

For "Balancing"

sweet axle
#

CSAT get the island

finite relic
#

Speculation is healthy

quartz magnet
#

i don't know if it matters though

sweet axle
#

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

quartz magnet
#

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

#

😄

unique haven
#

how simple 😉

quartz magnet
#

Hex (Water)

#

Though in the video, there's a frame where a dev is selecting between different skins for the Future Sukhoi

urban sluice
#

Can you imagine?

quartz magnet
#

one of them looks watery

#

😄

sweet axle
#

CSAT space alien carrier has a cloaking device

twilit oar
#

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

urban sluice
#

The carriers are powered by the east wind device.

#

And Miller is going full-frogman in order to sabotage it.

sleek ocean
#

Thats a campaign I'd play ^

thin sable
#

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

Horrible you're onto something fam

You working at the CIA

can not confirm or deny that statement.

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?

yeah

#

I mean why would there be a carrier

quartz magnet
#

jets

humble harbor
#

they can operate from islands as well 😛

quartz magnet
#

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

humble harbor

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"

there is literally no reason for this to happen just because of the carrier itself.

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]

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.

  1. drones are boring, and there are enough drones already (quadcopter, plane, helicopter, stealth plane, UGV...and well, an auto turret)

  2. they probably aren't the future of air superiority, but of CAS - either way, this contradicts the existance of jets DLC.

last geyser
#

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

humble harbor
#

use it early and a lot of it. do an evasive manouver while doing so.

#

rest is luck

quartz magnet
#

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

humble harbor
#

I doubt that one or two flares will help any

raven chasm
#

That looks awsome

native charm
#

I wish we were getting something like that, instead of F22/F35 hybrid

true goblet
#

Well, as it seems we are getting exactly that in the orange DLC, so I don't see your point.

humble harbor
#

Propeller DLC sound boring though

finite relic
#

Think Littlebird agility/speed , with A-10 firepower

quartz magnet
#

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.

finite relic
#

Good Example!

quartz magnet
humble harbor
#

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?

quartz magnet
#

RHS

#

or at least, it's not vanilla (yet)

unique haven
#

funny thing is that "countermeasure mode" key has been there a freaking long time

#

it just doesn't do anything

quartz magnet
#

#enginelimitations

gritty cosmos
#

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.

or use Play with Six or Arma 3 Sync. One min for links

@tight plank

unique haven

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

@urban sluice your right, there should be a dual cockpit

@jaunty whale APEX or the new bundle, but I'd give an option of the 2 ( in case someone doesnt have APEX)

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.

jaunty whale
#

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.

urban sluice

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.

finite relic

but it's a monthly giveaway - April giveaway is chosen at the end of April, May is chosen at end of may, etc

finite relic
#

@urban sluice Depends on how long youve been here.

jaunty whale
#

but yeah, maybe a day early so it doesn't spur any conspiracy theories

finite relic
#

the 2nd would be preferable (to be believable)

#

yes, or earlier

urban sluice
#

Pardon, conversations are getting mixed.

Are you saying the 2nd thing would be nice as in a dual cockpit fighter?

open kettle
#

@urban sluice yes

finite relic
#

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.

languid comet
#

I just spent fucking $35 on Apex because of the notifications for using Apex dlc AMA

urban sluice
#

That's mostly a part of the free update all jets are receiving.

#

So I wouldn't count the features with the jet DLC.

finite relic
#

@languid comet Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? A little decorum is appreciated here.

urban sluice
#

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.

finite relic
#

the big complaint for a very lonmg time was no A to A combat. Now we are getting it, and now people complain..

sweet axle
#

Big surprise. People were complaining in the dev branch that they've given tanks a proper FCS lasing

jaunty whale
#

@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?

urban sluice
#

The Jet DLC and Jet improvements are quite separate in my eyes.

jaunty whale
#

Jet improvements are coming IN the Jet DLC

urban sluice
#

A lot of it is already out. Like the damage simulations.

finite relic
#

You get the benefits of the Jet DLC without having to purchase it. (just not the jets)

jaunty whale
#

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)

urban sluice
#

Dynamic loadouts are a feature free to the game and works even with the standard jets.

jaunty whale
#

Which is coming in the DLC

#

"free features"

#

paid content = the actual jets themselves

urban sluice
#

It's releasing together with the DLC.

jaunty whale
#

yea

urban sluice
#

Not in the DLC.

jaunty whale
#

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

urban sluice
#

It already has a release date anyways.

jaunty whale
#

Yup 😃

#

Tentative, but can't wait

urban sluice
#

Which means buying it or not will not change anything as there is a release date.

jaunty whale
#

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

urban sluice
#

And dual cockpit capabilities already exist in ArmA so using it to make the Jets DLC more unique wouldn't be too much.

jaunty whale
#

You've lost me

urban sluice
#

Like the CSAT VTOL, and attack helicopters.

jaunty whale
#

rofl

stiff nova
#

Ah this reminds me of meetings with product management and the lovely amount of scope creep . "Its not too much to add", they say.

jaunty whale
#

I think I'm not understanding what you're upset about

urban sluice
#

Though you can't take control as a gunner on the Kajman, you can on the Commanche.

jaunty whale
#

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

urban sluice
#

It isn't as overpowered as it relies heavily on communication between the two.

jaunty whale
#

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

urban sluice
#

Any air to ground stomps the AI in ArmA 3.

jaunty whale
#

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

urban sluice
#

You know there's a drag calculator on the jets that can lock on from up to 4 KM away.

jaunty whale
#

talk to you later mate

finite relic
#

@urban sluice You dont get the Arma Tick/Tock do you?

urban sluice
#

If you're trying to make a noise the only thing that comes to mind is a clock.

finite relic
#

Its a serious question.

urban sluice
#

I'm not joking on my answer either.

finite relic
#

as a Moderator, I'm not joking.

#

Tick gets the improvements, Tock gets the content.

#

Tick does not pay, Tock Does.

urban sluice
#

So you're saying Tick and Tock are names?

#

Not in that way, in this example.

finite relic
#

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.

urban sluice
#

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?

finite relic
#

If you are Tick you get rear seat only (generically speaking)

#

same with APEX Helos

@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.

@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

uncut jolt
#

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

opal nacelle
#

@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

#

Past tense, I've seen all the gifs now

#

can't wait to land with no engines

opal nacelle
#

Already lost a Buzzard to engine failure after too many low-altitude strafing runs against an armored vehicle with a sufficiently high-elevation MG

primal latch
#

maybe i will release this map way early for the jets

white cobalt
#

man really should someone make a moon nazi mod

#

like iron sky, that whole damn fleet with UFOs and scifi style nazi soldiers

quartz magnet
#

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

white cobalt
#

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

quartz magnet
#

but russian hide STARWARS so deep
what

white cobalt
#

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

finite relic
#

They've most likely deleted it because if they get caught with it, they'll get the crap sued out of them.

thin sable
#

Dunno, I think theyre still at it. Though in sekret.. Lost Dragons menitoned though!! 😍

white cobalt
#

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.

thin sable
#

Its been that long already?! Joking.. 😄 Sorry we've not been able to push out a release though. Still so much to do.

red bolt
#

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

finite relic
#

@sakjdbasd#6542 it's not "copyright shit". This community has zero tolerance for IP theft.

white cobalt
#

@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😝

twilit oar
#

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

white cobalt
#

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, 😱 .

thin sable
#

@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.

white cobalt
#

yea so hopefully the lost dragon can be a successful project

thin sable
#

😄 We're original ip so no problems anywhere. Except of course if/when we hit Armas limits.

red bolt
#

weapon model.cfg doesn't work on launchers with a defined "modelSpecial"?

sweet axle
#

@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

red bolt
#

da12thMonkey, thank you. For this (M72 launcher) its actually ok to just use weapons config, and then use ACE to handle the "spent" model.

sweet axle
#

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

last geyser
#

anyone had problems with their crosshair in helicopters disappearing (while using ace3)?

last geyser
#

alright apparently it's not a ace problem but a general arma problem

winged harness
#

This is a slightly specific question I am aware but has anyone in this server read The Plague by Albert Camus by any chance?

sinful basin
#

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

quartz magnet
#

well it could be balanced a bit, with mine detectors beeping, and the detection radius reduced

rugged escarp
#

@vale valley Is there any way to have a short talk with your game designers? I'd have a couple of important questions

quartz magnet
#

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

feral reef
#

"important"

quartz magnet
#

I can trust Ezcoo to actually have important questions 😄

feral reef
#

I mean, instead of asking in here 😄

rugged escarp
#

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 😄

quartz magnet
#

See, told ya I could trust Ezcoo 😄

#

Man, i hope you end up with them, will finally get decent VON 😂

rugged escarp
#

Haha, at least someone has noticed my spamming in VON thread 😄

spark zealot
#

From the latest dev video, my favourite part was the comfy studio they have

feral reef
#

Too many windows, too many Plants, too much light.
0 / 10 Bunker rating.

unreal rivet
#

also every pic/vid coming from BI seems to have them drinking berocca by the gallon

spark zealot
#

I really wish they did a bohemia insider or something 😄

gritty cosmos
#

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.

proud pollen
#

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.

spark zealot
#

I think you can right now? Atleast with ACE

#

Well atleast 100% some mods like RHS have that feature

proud pollen
#

Not in vanilla.

white cobalt
#

sm on aircraft? why

spark zealot
#

I'm wondering if adjusting loadouts will have anything else to offer like differnt flare setups and other things

native charm
#

Most aircraft can't really switch up countermeasure loadouts except ratio of chaff/flares

proud pollen
#

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

white cobalt
#

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

proud pollen
#

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.

white cobalt
#

lol ture

spark zealot
#

what happend to f-35 from the trailers

proud pollen
#

Shikra is very sexy too. Gryphon looks nice model-wise but the textures don't look that good currently.

native charm
#

I thought Jets DLC CSAT wasn't VTOL

white cobalt
#

tho it is the year of 2035, F35 become so old in that time

native charm
#

are you nuts?

white cobalt
#

rabbit im talking aboot that VTOL in APEX

native charm
#

F35 will easily be operating in 2035

raven chasm
#

I had a weak time today

proud pollen
#

The F-35 from 2011/2012 was meant to be improved but it was instead cut. It was named the F-35F.

raven chasm
#

I ordered dlc 2

#

Spend it wisely BIminions

native charm
#

it's likely replacement for F35 won't be released until 2040 or later

white cobalt
#

that is the problem, all you can see is BI decide NATO can't use F35 in 2035

proud pollen
#

Also yeah, F-35 will probably surpass 2050s.

white cobalt
#

but they can back to the black sea

raven chasm
#

For now its all borrowd government money....

native charm
#

I be more Black Wasp design is based on BI wanting to have some fun

proud pollen
#

^

native charm
#

and not have to worry about royalities

white cobalt
#

wait if this is the official black wasp

#

what about that mod

#

F18X

native charm
#

Blackwasp looks like F-22/F-35 have love child

white cobalt
#

😱

proud pollen
#

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.

white cobalt
#

also V22

native charm
#

but I'm pretty sure Black Wasp is BI art department having some fun

white cobalt
#

but destoryed

proud pollen
#

Black Wasp II is an F-22 + F-18 with some F-35 influence (cockpit).

white cobalt
#

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

proud pollen
#

The Shikra is a T-50 + SU-35 hybrid, I believe.

white cobalt
#

it's more SU35 than T50

proud pollen
#

(Honestly was hoping for a SU-47 + T-50 hybrid, I have a thing for swept forward wings but the Shikra is nice looking.)

white cobalt
#

looks just like added up stuff on SU35

#

I was hoping for J20

native charm
#

I doubt I'll get it, but I'm looking forward to the update

white cobalt
#

since CSAT is , ya know

#

and christ, Russia is winning as a third party

proud pollen
#

I already grabbed the new DLC bundle.

#

😄

white cobalt
#

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

#

😫

proud pollen
#

Well I mean, it's Ubisoft so what did you expect in terms of quality. :P

white cobalt
#

Lol

#

they cheated me again with that fancy E3 trailer

#

😂 never trust Ub's so called "pre-alpha real time footage"

humble harbor
#

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

proud pollen
#

Same.

#

Gripen is nice, but Eurofighter is just... Mmmmf~ ❤

humble harbor
#

might be a copyright issue, maybe?

proud pollen
#

Still can't wait to give all of them a try. Especially that sexy Black Wasp.

#

Dunno.

humble harbor
#

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 😄

white cobalt
#

im ready to bloooow up some advanced F18

#

CSAT rule!

humble harbor
#

I doubt that that humongous bomber jet will be good against the Black Wasp 😛

proud pollen
#

Tanks DLC and Jets DLC equally interest me the most.

#

I just love tanking, and I love flying.

white cobalt
#

there aren't many infos aboot tank

proud pollen
#

Especially dogfighting.

white cobalt
#

but I think I saw T14 in that video

proud pollen
#

T-14 was concept art so we may or may not see it, or see it in a different form.

white cobalt
#

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

proud pollen
#

BIS Mechs DLC pls.

#

:))))

#

Also yesssss, coilgun tank (and NEMO Marshall) please!

white cobalt
#

and what else?

#

orange dlc

#

and tac-ops

proud pollen
#

Malden Free DLC.

white cobalt
#

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

proud pollen
#

Red Cross most likely.

white cobalt
#

also I think there are some connection between tac-ops and project argo

spark zealot
#

Dobut it

white cobalt
#

as there 1st step to try to improve the gameplay, they'll update arma3- a current product
