Oysters Autobio posted:Does Stormworks fit the bill at all for a SAR game, albeit without combat? I've not had a chance to try it and seems pretty indepth for the minecrafty construction part, but curious to know if there's actual enough content (i.e. things "to do" with the stuff you build). I’ve played quite a bit of it. You can download a bunch of prefab stuff from the workshop, which can be fairly high quality and go into all kinds of niche reproductions. The SAR gameplay is there kinda but it’s not very fleshed out and doesn’t work that great. They’ve been focusing on oil rig stuff lately and that may come with some more SAR events but I haven’t tried that part. Npcs won’t get in a harness you need to cram them in while say your helicopter is still flying if it has an autopilot that works, MP is available but I’ve never used it. It’s fun but very much a make your own fun game.

New Creator DLC trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syxwHjFqbhs https://arma3.com/news/arma-3-creator-dlc-spearhead-1944-is-coming-soon Chortles fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Jul 7, 2023 |

The Morse code in the trailer refers to operation cobra, which started at the end of July 1944. So most likely coming soon. I like that these exist but I was kinda underwhelmed with Prairie Fire, since I play single player and there isn’t much to do other than bash the assets together in the editor like Gi joes.

I remember seeing a mod or something a few years ago that sparked my interest in arma that was like, a squad or two sized procedural missions, any idea where to start with that, and how hard is it to set up?

That was my thought as well. Then there's also Dynamic Combat Ops. Then there's also Ground Breach and Ground Patrol that are pretty okay.

Is Reforger cross platform with PC? If so, are goons playing 3 or Reforger? I'd like to play with folks who aren't dipshits saying I can't have a sniper rifle because I am the "wrong rank"

It's about 50/50 with the few remaining regulars when it comes to US/EU split. The Saturday slot is a very good EU time slot, with it starting at 20:00 CEST and usually running to just about midnight. The semi-regular Antistasi pick up games is definitely more in the US slot.

https://twitter.com/ArmaPlatform/status/1699060057680519431 Besides the above, a battlefield cross memorial was added, as were a bunch of assets from Project Argo, two Steam achievements, a "CoF: Gray new 10th anniversary binary unlock", an "Extreme" video quality preset, new post-processing presets, even higher and lower end values for video options with an "Extreme values warning" indicator... and the devs have now decrypted the Tac-Ops Mission Pack and Contact first-party DLC addons by changing them from EBOs to PBOs, making them available for modding to a greater extent; all of these are from the 2.14 changelog.

Most importantly;quote:Fixed: Game sometimes detecting mouse left click input when returning after being tabbed away People can now alt tab safely. Also the two achievements, from as far as I can tell is Mod Lover and Arma'd. You can guess what either of those do.

That's a hiking trail marker. We use those in Poland, too. They're usually painted on rocks or trees. White/red/white: primary trail in the area white/blue/white: long-distance trail white/green/white: short distance trail white/yellow/white: connecting trail white/black/whie: short connecting trail (before you ask how you're supposed to know which trail leads where, you have directional signs at regular intervals like this:  )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mCf0mL9IE Hey all! I just wanted to drop in and let folks here know that AirGoons are running an Arma 3 mission as part of our new campaign set in South America circa 2010. They're looking for a Few Good Troopers to join their special forces team as they try to fight back against the nefarious PLA who have invaded the Falkland Islands and the southern tip of Chile & Argentina. Come check it out! And while you're at it: We need YOU. Come fly with us! We're looking for some volunteer pilots to join us in defending Freedom, Justice, and the South American way! Some 40 goons will fly a plot-heavy campaign in South America in 2010 as a combined Latin American Air Force Coalition while playing Digital Combat Simulator (DCS World). Weekly main mission scheduled at 2000hrs Universal Time on Saturdays. The time and place means that these air forces lack many modern airplanes, and are limited in their weapon selection, with some exceptions such as the Chilean F-16 Vipers. Come join The Long Afternoon War Our carriers and airfields are filled with A-4 Skyhawks and SU-25T Frogfoots - potent strike fighters that want to take to the skies. One could be yours! We currently have slots open on the roster to fly one of these aircraft in the next fight, and we need you! You don't need to be experienced, and you're welcome to bring a friend! Interactive training missions and detailed manuals are available for all the modules, and there are excellent written guides and tutorial videos created by the community. If you like flight simulators you are most likely in the right place. As some of our supportive flight leaders say: Snapshot posted:The bar is officially below landing. If you can crash in the general direction of the airfield, you’re good enough. Of course recovering the aircraft is a good goal. Vahakyla posted:There's all kinds of roles. Air Battle Managers, JTACs, pilots, planners, etc. All kinds of flying poo poo and tangential roles are available. There are goons who have played for years, never even owning a single DCS airplane. Lots of tools are free, and the LotATC battle management and ATC software is server-side license on our dime as to not put costs on the user. An armada of goons are willing to teach you any and all aspects of military aviation. Do You Want to Know More?
