So the only thing this change will achieve is convincing more ppl not to play this map.

Agree with this 100%, recent change might make this new layer in the list of the least played in coop after pop dies down from people done trying out 1.7.

If you want the bleed to not be annoying and actually playable then at least set the timer to 20 mins instead, that's defo enough to get players sorted on the beach on time with some leeway incase shit hits the fan.

Hey guys! 

I am making a poll so that I can get a rough understanding of what wars people are interested in so I can plan some future events. There is lots to choose from.

If you are interested in a war/conflict that isn't on the poll list then make it a suggestion by commenting below no matter how small or short the war/conflict is.

(Note if you are suggesting a war then please have a dig through the workshop to see if there are any appropriate mods that can support it. All the wars on the poll are possible with the relevant mods.)

Thanks

Can we switch the fog off its damn near impossible to fly in those conditions?

20 hours ago, =VG= SemlerPDX said:

+1 for this - weather in games is awesome, but if there is a way to turn down the frequency of the extremes so that they still happen, but not like all the time, that would be very cool

That kind of fog on the server is not normal.  It is a bug where when the server on for so long the fog mechanics can go haywire. A simple restart does the trick to fix it. I guess when you want that extreme fog when it happens sometimes then just don't restart the server lol

Good stuff Biz!

Will there be a way to save map progress? And a way to wipe progress once everything is taken?

I can help with the editor stuff (Asthetics, anything else etc) and some scripting if needed and or general queries. - Just let me know what you need doing etc and ill be on it if I know how to.

Would love to play a minecraft modded survival with server plugins like community shops etc so you can sell what you get

EVENT DELAYED FOR 1 HOUR to 2000 UT.

Sorry for the inconvinience

For a weird logical reason I use both.

I use inverted on keyboard and mouse, As treating my mouse like a joystick feels very weird, so I treat my mouse with the, If my mouse goes down, my nose goes down.

But with a Joystick I will always use normal pitch. It does not feel right playing inverted.

Think you guys are after the wrong people, It's the joystick inverted players that are secretly serial killers, Not mouse inverted players. 

You'll find me and a lot of others on Arma 3, Get it and you'll have a blast playing with us!

Posting this on the Arma 3 Thread so more people are aware!

 This Event is hosted by:

 @X0R

I Believe he is hosting his first Arma 3 Event with =VG=!

As it is his first, Lets get this turnout for this event MASSIVE!, Tell your friends, Tell your kids, Tell your Wife, Tell your fucking dog! We want a full house boys!

If anyone else is interested in hosting Arma 3 Events within =VG=, Please hit me up!

I had an exchange with @=VG= Sausag3 and figured I'd do one of these, as I don't play Arma 3 on VG a lot, actually hardly if ever because I usually play elsewhere at the normal time such events are held, so here we are, I've checked out past events & how many players usually attend and figured I'd put my own little spin on it with that in mind, and  make something enjoyable that you're otherwise less likely to encounter on a public server, because I figure I might as well make it worth your while to attend if indeed you do, for which I'm preemptively appreciative.

RADIO:

Teamspeak Is not required, though feel to join the VG Arma 3 Teamspeak if you need help or think you may, I will be found on Discord. Instead of TFAR,

Addon Free Scripted Radio is used with no requirements for any additional downloads, It's a script included in the mission, to enhance  vanilla Arma 3,& uses vanilla keybinds,

It basically rmoves needless TFAR - TS bs,and provides a simple yet efficient VOICE CHAT similar to PR if your familiar, by extending vanilla Arma 3 functionality.

I've configured It to allow CHANNEL SWITCHING KEYBINDS, Arma 3 default ',' and '.', so DISREGARD last line in image above.

[BRIEF]
Russians have occupied a Greek island as part of  an agreement with a nationalist government in Greece, as part of a ploy to force the EU to expel Greece from the union, after Greeks voted to remain.  The Russians get a Naval Base in a small Mediterranean Island and the Greek Government gets to bypass the popular vote by forcing the EU's hands. You are tasked with denying the Greek government diplomatic leverage by forcefully & covertly removing the Russians from NATO territory. Detailed Brief in Mission.

[OBJECTIVES, OVERVIEW]
2 Primary Objectives and 6-12 Procedurally Generated Chained Secondary Tasks
*this sometimes results in an obviously bugged task, Platoon Lead can through LIMITED ZEUS force a 'completed' status for such tasks using Zeus Modules*
Mission Succeeds when All Objectives Are Complete and ALL PLAYERS EXTRACT TO THE USS FREEDOM
Mission Fails if more than 10 civilians are killed which surrendering enemies are considered to be, so beware, there are civilians & ai do surrender.
Mission Fails if all players die.
Mission Fails if friendly fire results in more than 5 deaths.

[ENVIRONMENT]
Due to time acceleration 24minutes irl is 24hours ingame, so tailor your plans to a rapidly alternating day/night cycle and accelerated dynamic weather.

[CONSTRAINTS]

*for gameplay purposes, because AI at their best, aren't as smart as a mediocre human[possibly]*
 

[RESPAWN]

NONE, however....

[SERVER SETTINGS]
No Crosshairs, First Person Only, Standard Flight Model
*Ai Difficulty overridden by mission*
Weapon Sway & Fatigue Enabled (Manage your load-outs REASONABLY or suffer the CONSEQUENCES)

Remember, everything that can kill you, can be killed by you, and credit where credit's due, the level of  complexity is entirely thanks to THIRD-PARTY dynamic mission modules included as Mods, that I use, and others seldom do, so yea, I'm just a grunt who put the pieces together, at most scripting a few minor things here & there.

P.S I'd very much like for @Connor to get banned if he fails to attend, as he nudged me to do this 

Cheers.

Good job lads!

There is a fireteam leader slot and an assault specialist slot left on the signups. Get it hot while you still can.

Note: The event will start with everyone in mini submarines traveling towards the RV point on the map. Please beware that radios are not that effective underwater. Local communication is limited to. So barely any comms + pitch black darkness, could = disaster. Please don't panic if you cannot communicate with others, If you are inside the submarine and drive. Please travel to the RV. Make sure the ones who are driving the submarine are aware of the controls. as the way to control the submarine has different key binds than any other vehicle around.

Looking forward to the event, See you all on the battlefield.
