Hi chaps, I am looking for a two seater plane where both seats work and have a job to do - as in a pilot and a weapons officer. An interactive cockpit is a bonus, but I understand I may have to accept a non interactive "just get in and press shift" version. So far I have tried: FA-18-Super-Hornet-BETA - No longer starts in advanced mode, second seat doesn't work (Sadly a dev has recently said that even the single seater is underdeveloped) F/A-18E/F Super Hornet 2020 - the older version of the above, I checked it out just in case but it doesn't work either Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, It used to work fine, but having issues now. I host a server for me and my mates and I normally pick their loadouts from the arsenal/virtual armoury while in the editor and then copy and paste it into the init so that they are ready to rock when the server is live. Here is an example: It has worked fine before - but now it seems that it has no effect and when the players load in - the lads do not have this above equipment. I note that the "unit must be local" bit seems new to me? Never noticed it before and I wonder if this is the issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙂

something already similar to this exists I think - please delete.

Hi there, During our missions, we used to like to change the weather - things like wind speed etc as we mostly fly. But it seems that when I change the slider and hit "ok" - the box closes and nothing happens. When I open the change weather box back up - the values are the same as they were before I tried to change them. Any tip or tricks to make this work? I use ACE but haven't had this issue before with it - if that is causing a conflict that is. Interestingly - all other sliders seem to work. Wind speed, Wind gusts and Wind direction do not. Cheers EDIT - FIXED - It was an intel setting. To fix it you just click the manual override box in the intel wind settings! DOH!

Hi there, I am considering getting Voice mod pro, but before I do - I need a radio style voice mod that has the "beep" or static burst when the transmission ends (when I stop transmitting and release the push to talk button) that all players will hear. This is in the style of something like Task Force Radio for Arma 3 (which we tried and couldn't get it to work consistently so we are looking at other options). We run a milsim type group and use discord with push to talk in order to run comms. Is it possible? Cheers

Great thanks will take a look.

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes we have the ammo box with arsenal already, but we all want to avoid having to go over to use it and save time by spawning in with our chosen loadout. We all work and every minute we can save - the better. Sometimes the arsenal takes one particular player a while to load up too. Thanks again.

Hi thanks for the reply - I copied in the above and still didn't work. Sorry, maybe I misunderstood your comment and I need to still add in (//)? I removed the comment lines too. Its odd because about a month or two ago - I could ctrl+c an arsenal loadout into the init without having to change anything and it worked fine. I also went and followed the steps here. Doesn't work for me. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Arsenal Thanks again.

Hi there I wonder if you can help with this please. As co-pilot - I cannot open the AMS. Only the pilot can do so. This means I cannot fufil my role as weapons officer while he does his other preflight checks. Also - as soon as we start engine, fuel goes down to almost half a tank. Are we doing something wrong here? He can open it and slave away etc. I see the AMS icon but it doesn't open when I click on it. Opens fine when I am in it on my own though so guessing that Pilot will always override this aspect. Thanks.

Hi thanks for the replies, Yeah that did it thank you very much!! Cheers

Hi there, great mod - thanks for making it, but tail hook no longer lowering. It seems to be bugged and the "hide/show pilot" button seems to bug it out. Cheers.

SORTED THANK YOU! Hi there, brilliant mods thanks for making all of the different add ons. As weapons officer in the superhornet (F) (but I also tried it in all of the other planes too) I cannot seem to fire any of the weapons in the co-pilot seat. I envisaged being able to launch and laser guide bombs using the camera from this position. Only my mate who is the pilot can. Am I doing something wrong? Please see shots below: Also the co-pilot seat seems to have intermittent access to the AMS. Sometimes I get lucky and have access to it - other times only the pilot can use it. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Hi there, Does anyone know how I can get rid of all the fog? The odd thing is that in the editor - it doesn't exist, even when I run the mission live- looks grand. But when I host the mission in MP, there is an unnecessary amount of fog - looks awful. It also won't let me get rid of it in the Zeus weather settings (and the fog is set to zero anyway) and I have no mods that add extra fog. Can anyone please help "clear up" this situation? This is with the Reduced Haze mod too! Thanks very much in advance.

Hi there, As above - I am flying a KA-52 and I can't figure out what mastersafe does. It doesn't turn on or off and just stays green. Secondly - trying to map a joystick to the cyclic pitch, because when controls are released, helicopter defaults back to level flight as default. Can this be fixed? Thank very much!

Hi there, I am using ACE and have configured the fuelling settings. Pretty cool to ne able to re fuel. However - there are only a few helicopter models (and even jets lack them too) that show a working fuel gauge - for both OPFOR and BLUEFOR units. So does anyone know of a simple fuel gauge script or addon that will show this? Cheers

Hi there, Does anyone know of an alternative mod to TFR? Something that is ideally similar/simple, or even an easier mod which just alters the voice in game to sound like you are using a radio with a few channel options? I don't have the money to rent a teamspeak server so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ah yeah I did see that one but saw it is a script rather than a mod. Might be worth a shot though. Thanks.

Hi there, Good to be back here. I see a lot has been added since 2016! I wondered if anyone knows of either of the following types of mods: A mod that adds more immersion/realism to the flight side of things to make flying more akin to a flight sim Plane Mods/models that have the best cockpit textures of flight consoles etc. Ideally of Russian origin, but anything is considered if it looks good, especially cargo type planes! Specifically, I like the bigger aircraft and plan to do logistic runs on the bigger maps. I ask this because have noticed that some cabins look quite naff and have low res textures with dials you cannot read, while others have much better models that look more realistic with working dials and hi res textures for things like fabric etc. I have seen that the Arma 3 Helicopters add on with steam is on offer and this gives you two very nicely modelled cockpits, but I would love to see more love for planes. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks - that is an amazing model! Not only that but it led to this mod too - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1301399507 - this adds Aerodynamics, GPWS, ATC, etc. Cheers

Thanks all - problem resolved.

Hi again, So I have my scenario. I put down 3 playable single infantryman and click the 'Player' box. I save it and export to multiplayer. But when I host the server and upload the scenario to be played - only one playable slot appears. So I close down the server and go back to the eden editor and open the scenario - the playable slots I ticked before are now unticked. Very confusing. Any ideas how to fix this please? Thanks

Hi there, thanks for the reply. I have now got this working and 3 player slots ow show. I ticked 'player' for one and then 'playable' for the others and this seemed to work. Now I have new issue where my server is not showing in the server selection for MP...I think I need to change ports. Thanks

Hi there, I am creating a scenario where we are Russians in Iraq fighting ISIS. How do I make the Takistani Militia hostile to us please? Many thanks!

Hi there, Thanks for the reply. So I will be using Zeus to spawn enemy units. In this case I need them to be hostile to the Russians - both are OPFOR in red. I am sorry but I do not understand the bit about fake leader. I used to play this a lot and do a lot of scripting for it a few years ago, but forgot it all! Cheers!

I just wanted to thank thedubl for spending hours sorting out my problem. Thank you mate.
