2nd server now running ACE + ACRE with signature checks off and no battleye

Password is still acre

Calv's ACE trainer is available in mission list.
-Thanks Savage!

The map contains a shooting range, kill house, kill house located in an actual compound, contact drill area, and various target areas around zargabad with simple targets that teams can practice assaults on.

Equipment consists of M4 and Mk16 rifles that can have the various attachments add/removed by using the ACE Self-interact key while at the weapon crate. When changing attachments it is technically removing and adding your weapon, so it will switch to you next available weapon, usually pistol or grenade. So check your weapon selection before firing.
All main AT weapons are available and various respawning targets are on the range to practice on.
Both the M249 and M240 are available, attachments can be added same as with rifles.
M40A3 sniper rifle is available.

There are additional weapon crates near the supply trucks one has ropes for fastrope and sling loading, the other has basic ordnance like claymores, bouncing bettys and M4 SLAMs for explosive practice.

4 humvees are included for vehicle formation and mounting/dismounting practice.
Blackhawk and Littlebirds are also available for use.

Vehicles are set to respawn so will vanish if left vacant.

Looks great:) ill be able to get some training tomorrow, btw what are the exact mods we are gonna be using? ACE and ACRE?

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

Think I want to try the Engineer role if possible...

I'll see what I can do about getting ACE working on the 2nd server.. it's being a real pain....

[suomikeizari]

both would be great, after all we need to learn them sooner than later :) enhances the gameplay a lot!

[chrisi123]

[Sam]

[Terremer]

[Guest AirborneAlways]

I am Central Standard Time (GMT -6, i beleive as i am at work and don't have my cheat sheet with me)

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

Count me in (PST, GMT-8, I believe).
I enjoy SL/FTL/Medic/Grenadier(EGLM)

!cheers

[=VG= Ingo]

sign me up utc +0200

[Iffn]

Sounds cool, count me in too! Curretnly western European summer time, UTC+2


A few suggestions:
- Infantry seems to be very populair but I would like to see some armored training possibilities too if possible. I'm currently working on a training mission and researching tactics so I should be able to teach interested newcomers.

- It might be useful split some of the smaller training sessions to fit into the European and American/Australian time schedules.

Damn straight, some armour/cas support is usefull in the missions.

[Iffn]

@lupago
post updated with more information about possible training options

[suomikeizari]

Hmm, good idea Iffn! Everyone is an rifleman before anything else :) so we are going to go with this first, but not a bad idea! need to keep that in mind!

also the separated schedules is a perfect idea, we cant hold everything on the same day anyway :P

Next training session would be on Thursday! we are going to familiarize ourselves with the gear and train mostly FT functions, also ACRE and ACE will be included. to make this easier we should divide into at least 2 groups, Team Pacific and Team Atlantic. these teams will have different schedules but preferably same content, who's up to lead the team Pacific?

EDIT: yeah copy Iffn! it's great that you guys are getting Ideas as well :)

[Sam]

for me : recon/Jtac/AT/MG/medic/support/crew/pilot but can't be lead cause my english...but all the speciality just don't like sniper just if its necessary!

Calv's ACE trainer is available in mission list.

I need someone to test joining the server with Six-updater. You'll need to delete (or rename/move) all your @ACE folders and your @ACRE, @jayarma2lib folders as well. Find the server in the SU browser, right-click, set new preset from server, then try to install/update/join. If it's working OK, SU should download and re-install ACE+ACRE.

[Sam]

i have just finish my set up with six-up , i go now testing this on server...

[=VG= Murderface0151]

seems i cant take part on that day :(

[=VG= SavageCDN (Inactive Duty)]

^ Thats OK there will be lots more I'm sure

[suomikeizari]

also the big event is at Saturday so you will just miss some basic training :)

[Pvt. Pirate]

i suggest having a training event for australian time and one for europe/america just to make sure everyone can attend at least once.
also i want to be there, but i havent seen any date and time for the trainign yet.

[suomikeizari]

Hey Pirate you should really read all the comments before doing that yourself :) + I added you

guys notify that the dudes on this list should be worth checking if you're up for training and he's online too :)
