I was meant to receive a reply yesterday so I sent a followup and they have been slightly delayed due to COVID so I don't know when I'm going to find out if they'll give me it but ill post a reply here for whatever I find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodrog1061 14 Posted September 10, 2020 Update. So a few days ago i was contacted by a user on BI Forums that has a copy of JCOVE am at this time just testing it to ensure it works fine if I don't receive a copy of JCOVE From my freedom of information request I will start to distribute this version I have been sent so the outlook is good. P.S - I also intend to create a master version that contains content from both JCOVE and the US equivalent to create a seamless experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodrog1061 14 Posted September 15, 2020 So update 2 today I received a reply from my freedom of information request and it has sadly been refused below I've included a copy of what they said Spoiler Quote I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding to your request. A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), and I can confirm that whilst some information in scope of your request is held we are not able to provide a copy of the requested software. Under Section 16 (Advice and Guidance) I can confirm that can VBS 2 Lite was custom build for Army Recruitment and made available around 10 years ago but was eventually withdrawn from Army use. Open source search engine results indicate that copies of VBS 2 lite could be available for free download to the general public. Additionally, the Arma series of video games utilise the full VBS engine which are available for public purchase. This therefore means I'm going to publish the version sent to be by a bi community member and I'll also upload the us equivalent at the moment I'm probably going to upload it to web archive for other people to use this will be in a .iso format most likely.

njmatrix 2 Posted November 18, 2021 1 minute ago, nodrog1061 said: Where, Where you in the dark days of a year ago 🤣 Lol I took a LONG HIATUS away from everything ArmA or OFP related. I love the games I just don't have the time like I used to to play them. I do try and keep certain things backups (JCOVE, USAL , VBS1, RVS, OGR, and a metric TON of OFP mods and addons) anyways I just wanted to see if I could still access the forums. I went to look at Armaholic and realized they are no longer which is sad to me. That was an awesome site back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
