To those having Admin rights and TCAdmin rights on this server: If there is a case where you need to restart the server, reset the mission, or even update the servers please let everyone know beforehand either on Discord or on the forum chat. Those having in-depth access such as configs etc: If you want to change something on the configs, add or remove mods, or anything that affects the server in general. Please consult me before hand as I am managing those myself for now. For now there is no need for anyone to tinker around this server (Except updating). as the mission is still in BETA. On the case where the mission no longer is BETA, We will investigate all the issues (If they have not been fixed) and find some improvements of our own. If the result of the investigation is good enough, I will make a dedicated team working on releasing our very own =VG= variant of the mission.

To do that I will have to edit the mission files. I cannot do that at the moment as no one is allowed to make their own versions of Mike Force while the mission is still in beta (In their license agreement) "You may host it on your servers and play it in its published state only. This is a temporary restriction, that will last until the end of the Mike Force beta. We want to ensure all players have the best, most up-to-date experience possible - and that's unfortunately not feasible if people start producing variants!" - Mike Force (Beta) "No derivations: The author is not able, at this time, to allow derivations. You must not in any way distort, mutilate, modify, adapt or reverse-engineer the Addon. You must not take other derogatory action in relation to the Addon which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's honour or reputation." - Mike Force License Agreement Yes, But can someone give me a map of everything loaded in? That was taken during init of the mission (That's why there are arrows connectors and weird stuff everywhere)

The Devs of the mission have already been informed about most of the issues on their github: https://github.com/Savage-Game-Design/Mike-Force/issues Regarding the snake issues, for now, quit bitchin' and don't tread on them!

Literally everyone at VG right now : I'll keep doing my part with monthly donations to help fund massive projects like these. (VG merch when?) Cheers to everyone who is making this possible!

Voting yes! More than happy to help set it up or configure if needed

WOW! That trailer ending was orgasmic! Good job! should deffo make more of those!

I'm maybe a little late to this whole vaccum vs compressed air fiasco, but I just needed to write the following below so bad: That's what she said! Now that my shit and giggle is done.... I've used both to clean a PC: I've vaccumed many many times, without issues. However I was always doing it carefully because I was paranoid that my vaccum was so powerful with its sucking power, that it might suck something important thats super tiny or something,. So I kept some distance with it sucking dust, never touched the tip (insert TWSS joke here). Now I just use a tiny turbo looking electric blower every year watching the dust shooting up into space making the Polish jealous. Again with no issues whatsoever. As long as you don't overpower your dust cleaning tools you should be fine. It is dust you are dealing with after all anyway. I personally dont bother with grounding myself with those fancy shmancy grounding wires like linustechtips does or any other shit, I just turn it off, switch off the power supply while the cables plugged in and hold the power button for a few seconds. Then I carry on. Of course everyone has their own way of doing it. some have short-cuts, some don't. Just because I don't have issues doesn't mean you won't either. It's kind of like a lottery ticket but those who win just gets shot in the face.

*UPDATE* For those who don't know... This event will use ACE Medical! Make sure you use normal default ACE (Advanced Combat Enviroment) instead of "ACE - No Medical" during the event, else you will die instantly when you get shot, just know there are no respawns on this one lol. The server has been LIVE on ACE medical for almost a week now, with many optimizations and improvements in the settings to make the revive experience bareable and not too complicated. It has been configured to a point where it is now balanced enough for all of us to enjoy using it. You can stay "Alive" with no heart beat, or blood in your body for 10 mins before you "Die Die", while being unconscious. Giving enough time for medics to attempt to get you back up. As we are using the basic medical system, medics should know that the CPR option on a casualty only appears when it is REQUIRED!, If you "stabilized" the casualty, gave blood etc, and is still not getting back up in a few seconds, its because CPR has not been administered, there is a CPR success rate, (80%), if the CPR option is still in the menu after CPR, that means it failed and you need to do it again. CPR is the whole reason we experienced players dying even though they were fully patched up and filled with blood. If all the conditions are right, (High Blood Level, Not Bleeding, and CPR not required..) 1 jab of Epinephrine will wake up the player INSTANTLY, Or can wake up in a short time without the jab. Everyone should also know that in Basic medical, all bandages work and all do the same thing, So it doesnt matter which bandages you take with you, I advise to just take the basic bandages only anyway to make it easier to keep track on how much bandages you have in total instead of doing maths lol. Blood, Saline and Plasma bags all are the same, same weight and space taken. So it doesn't matter which bags you take. IV transfusion rates have been increased, you can pump 1000ml into anyone in like 10 seconds. You will still be unconscious no matter how fucked up you get, you will not die. Unless you have no heart beat and no blood for longer than 10 mins. Bleeding rates have been reduced.

I won't be able to add that unfortunately. You'd have to take a role listed instead.

WOLFPACK CAMPAIGN - ARMA 3 EVENT CAMPAIGN EVENT TIME: Saturday, 8th of May 1900 GMT (PRT) EVENT SERVER: VETERANS-GAMING | INSURGENCY ACE | TS3.VETERANS-GAMING.COM (INSURGENCY ACE WILL NOT BE PLAYABLE DURING THIS EVENT) SIGN-UP: Sign ups are MANDATORY to play this event, no signup = no go PASSWORD: TBC BEFORE EVENT STARTS!

Discord, if Tech Support is needed Carrots, you will need that perfect night vision CAMPAIGN STORYLINE: May 2034, Altis is in turmoil. The island has been cut off from the outside world due to economical and physical blockades. The local populous has grown impatient with the government and the AFF in particular. Several demonstrations have resulted in the deaths of tens of civilians. The government was losing control rapidly and called in the help of CSAT. A mistake that would cost them dearly. CSAT saw a golden opportunity to get a much needed foothold in the Mediterranean area. The AAF requested a single battalion of CSAT Infantry. Instead CSAT send the entire 2nd brigade and soon CSAT outnumbers AAF by 11:1. Altis government realized that they lost control completely and stepped down. CSAT General Tehrani has since been in power and controls all of Altis and Stratis. CSAT is now proven a serious threat to the European region. As diplomatic efforts have not lead to the anticipated result, NATO decided to send a rapid task force to free both islands from CSAT oppression. DEVGRU has been ordered by J.S.O.C. to take out several high value threads on Altis before the NATO campaign commences. Wolf has been tasked with executing 10 missions over a period of 5-10 weeks.

I'll go JTAC mr serb commandant

Who doesn't these days, its a new kink Any who, huge thanks to all those who participated on this event, it was great fun! Huge turnout! Biggest turnout I've seen on a VG A3 event. Putting ourselves out on the map slowly but surely. Looking forward to the next one lads! Cheers!

@chickenjason123 It is full, but feel free to spectate

This all depends on what you are designing, how big it is, how complex the shapes are. I've noticed while working as a CAD engineer at my job that working on huge laser scanned water treatment sites displayed on software is obviously more resource intensive than making a small pipe design. If you are planning to design a small - medium object, somewhat accurate and not that complex, then even an old laptop would be suitable enough to be honest, as long as you can run the software in the first place, then you can pretty much use it. If you are planning to design something incredibly huge, accurate and complex then you will need professional workstation PCs which are incredibly expensive. I'd recommend trying it out as it is first. If it doesn't work well, then you would want to think about getting a better GPU, CPU and or RAM. And depending on your specs, that could determine what software you could use. Older versions of software can be more suitable for older, less powerful computers

At the end of the day gentlemen, This game is not COD, not Battlefield (Even though it's based on it), this is PROJECT REALITY. The whole concept of this game is engraved from the title itself. IRL you don't see squad commanders, platoon commanders etc. lead their troops without saying a single word, you don't see them text or send a formal letter to their troops during battle either. Because it is simply ineffective and unreliable.

*Update* Explosives Operator on Bravo squad is still open and is a priority role, Please fill it! If this slot is still open when the briefing starts I'll have to move someone with non priority role to that slot.
