A couple questions pertaining to my server.

Help with my Arma 3 TADST Server

So just today I set up a dedicated server for the first time on my machine. 
But when running the server is shows me as playing Arma 3. I have played around on the server with friends and such but would not like to rack up thousands of hours by leaving my server on and also make my friends think im constantly playing Arma 3.

Any way I could have it not do this? 

Would possibly making another steam account and just using those credentials work? Even If it doesn't have Arma 3?

Odd fog

I have opened up my own dedicated MP server and there is this odd fog that limits my view distance making it nearly impossible to land on my LHD when flying a harrier. My in game view distance is maxed out on both objects and surface. But the ingame view distance is still abysmal. The server view distance is set to 3500 meters but no matter the setting I set on it, no difference is made. I tried setting the weather as clear as could be and made no difference except wave height

How to make your own mod pack?
^ Wondering how I can put several mods like CUP mods together into a single pack for people to download for my server like many realism units do

 

Copy pasted from the steam forums so excuse the weird lettering. Wasn't getting any answers on my threads so I compiled them into one and posted them here. Copy paste seems to highlight everything

Have you changed the fog itself in the weather part, as when you turn the fog down on the top and bottom in weather it should be clear.

 

How to make your own mod pack?

 

Imo depends on what mods, mods like CUP your best to link somewhere as they are massive mods, if its small mods like 50mb to 500mb you could

download the addons/mods you wanted, and then set them up where all the files for those mods the addons are installed in one addons folder under your mod pack's name.

 

Another way is to use a program like Armasync where you can create a repository---> http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22199

the tool can launch your game as well, but you can create a repository and add the mods you want on it.

Another similar program is Play with SiX, you can create collections on there http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18001

Bump?? Really need some help with these issues. The first one especially

[1SG.Smithen.C 3]

Ok I fixed the first issue, just have to launch the server then launch steam. And the second issue I fixed with a script set to trigger when people join. The last issue I can figure out
