Velyks 10 Posted March 18, 2013 I'm looking to start work on an addon to incorporate the BOWMAN communication system currently in trials and part usage by the British Armed Forced into ARMA3. I doubt it'll be finished before beta comes out as I have little spare time to work on it but it'll be a labor of love. (An alpha version might appear which just gives you a Map and a Nokia GPS, though by 2030 they might actually have something that works) One thing I'd like to see from ARMA3's new engine is better integration between scripts and the voip/chat system, I'd like to be able to control nearly all aspects of a server's voip using scripts to define what channels are available, what they're called and look like, who can hear them, and how loud they are. Most of this already seems feasable considering that direct chat contains several of these features. I'd like to be able to make ACRE-styled addons without the need for third party applications and plugins. I'll keep the thread up to date with any progress and eventually a feature list!

panimala 25 Posted March 18, 2013 As of yet the VOIP functionality and quality hasn't really improved since ArmA 2. One can wish that they build on it since ACRE is such a big part of the experience when it comes to playing Arma seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cm. 10 Posted March 19, 2013 well voip quality has certainly improved as it's configurable to "30" now which is a much higher codec than the old "10" (I can't remember the exact frequency range for each). As for functionality.... well yes it's basically the same since 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chomiq 10 Posted March 19, 2013 There was a Bowman addon for A2OA with ACRE. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18280 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tupolov 520 Posted March 19, 2013 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?144240-British-Armed-Forces-Bowman-Radio-System-an-ACRE-plugin I more than welcome any assistance in porting this to A3. Obviously there is a reliance on ACRE at the moment. The other challenge is moving to the new backpack system in A3 and support for ACE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medusacadenza 6 Posted March 20, 2013 I would love to see the Bowman system in A3. Good luck with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
