Looking forward to getting it via Steam tonight.

Thanks!

I'm still having problems placing groups in the correct orientation. If I select a group, change the direction away from North, they will place North then shuffle to the direction I choose. Any way to get them to start in the correct orientation, without shuffling?

L Etranger, fantastic work...

But i think I am doing something really stupid...

I have downloaded the file from http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18841

In the zipped file i see the following files...

files.jpg

There doesnt appear to be a .PBO file to transfer across to the steam folder.

This is the first time ive come across this and perhaps something silly im doing ( or not doing lol)

Plus I have a severe dose of Man Flu ! sympathy is allowed :)

Thanks in advance for any help...

@Yip : This seems to be an old version ... It's weird there is extension to the filename, it should be :

co320_virtual-trainingspace-4-.altis.pbo

Edit :

Hich, also I noticed the link in the First page was linking to old version B21..

It's fixed now the First page link is directing to B22.

(If you downloaded from steamworkshop, you are fine)

Look into the mods folder you can hook any script to the different script run by the VTS at the init, client, headless, server, or onspawn. Cheers

I did some quick tests with beta 22 yesterday but I was unable to use the "paste from clipboard" feature. It's just doing nothing. Am I missing something ?

Thx.

When pressing Past it's doesnt work ?

If that is, you have to copy paste via CTRL+V because BIS disabled the paste feature of A3...

I'll add a notification for that.

L etranger, I've noticed that the "NVG off" button is only capable of removing the default (bluefor) NV Goggles. Opfor are now spawned with NVGoggles_OPFOR (and I guess indep are getting NVGoggles_INDEP ).

Another issue, but may be related to Arma directly and not VTS: I can't make the setovercast command work. Is it overridden by the rain setting ?

Thx.

Right now Arma 3 weather change is clunky, the time to change weather doesn't work on all weather commands (you have to skiptime). Also the rain and overcast are randomized with rain, which mean on multiplayer, players couldn't have the same fog and visibility (Yeah -_-) so with the VTS on Arma3 I overwrite and instant apply any weather change to make sure everybody and the server have the same weather environment to avoid server AI to have 500 M visibility, player 1 200 M and player 2 600 M visibility etc...

I'll take a look on the NV stuff.
