Yes, I have filled the normal 0-0 radio menu with useful admin stuff and now I am searching a way to use the empty 0-9 radio menu (the other option is to know how to make custom menu which is way over my knowledge). How to create custom radio triggers for this menu?

The script is working fine, just the transitions are too visible and there is short lag spike on every transition. The initial overcast is not working at all, mission starts as its with overCast 0 (no single cloud). I will test more.

Long story short I can successfully change the cloud cover in the beginning of mission with sleep 0.5; 0 setOvercast 0.3; 0 setRain 0; 0 setFog 0; forceWeatherChange; ran on server. But I am greedy and now I want the weather to change gradually over the mission time (around 2 hours). Without using forceWeatherChange the clouds are totally missing. I tried sleep 0.5; 0 setOvercast 0.3; 0 setRain 0; 0 setFog 0; forceWeatherChange; sleep 60; 7200 setOvercast 0.8; 7200 setRain 0.5; 7200 setFog 0; setWind [10, 0, true]; it changes everything but the clouds - shadows on surfaces, it starts raining little by little, wind changes immediately (I am ok with that). But clouds are just like in the beginning ... I really need some help. 😟

Someone please help, I am trying to spawn globally what is chosen in Virtual Garage. [missionNamespace, "garageClosed", { hint "I am dumb"; }] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; How to get the vehicle reference?

Is the author just generating hype?

@firewill Well the Enhanced MiG29S mod is little bit shady, I don't know if everything there is fine, maybe this is the reason. The anti-radiation missiles (Kh-25MPU) shot form your awesome Su-25SM3 Grach mod work perfectly, turning on radar is death sentence for the enemy. Thank you for making this mod!

I am trying to make the anti-radiation missiles work for Enhanced MiG29S mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2987850906) which uses FIR AWS. Anti radiation missile Kh-25MP does not lock any radars (vanilla, FIR, etc) with keys R or key T. Maybe I do something wrong?

@Gunter Severloh I am not using TADS or any other program, I just use the arma3server_x64.exe and startup parameters, server.cfg, etc. Server is private only for me and three of my friends. Runs missions with 60 fps and above, missions and modlists are very optimized. Apart from the annoying stuttering at the beginning we have no problems. Hardware is basically potato compared to many other people's hardware: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6 cores/12 logical cores (max boosted to 4.4 GHz) / Dedi server + HC are using 5-6 from the logical cores according Resource Monitor 2x8 GB DDR4 RAM Corsair 2133 Mhz Dual Channel (but running on 1064 Mhz, I don't know how to make it run with higher frequency) GPU GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (not important for the dedicated server I guess) Maybe if I make system memory page file bigger than system managed (around 3GB) will make situation a little bit better? EDIT: I changed system page file form system managed (it was like 3GB max) to 12GB min. and 16GB max. Initial stuttering is gone! Checked couple of times just to be sure, its gone! Have to buy 16GB more dd4 ram, didn't know arma 3 is not only CPU hog but RAM hog too. EDIT2: If you change the page file size manually I highly recommend to follow this: Page file (swap file) minimum size = 1.5 x Physical RAM Page file (swap file) maximum size = 4 x Physical RAM Following this rule and enabling large page support from the launcher parameters gives the best stability and high fps for dedicated server. Don't forget to delete the previous page file by setting it first to none then restart and set it manually again to desired size. Good luck!

@Gunter Severloh Stuttering is consistent at start of the mission only on the server (no stuttering when trying the mission in pseudo MP in eden). I can replicate this every time. I can confirm the mission itself is not important, I tried with other two missions, they behave the same when loaded on the dedicated server. I am using ACE Headless, so I disabled it from ACE options but the stuttering continues, its not from the transfer of AI units to headless clients. The guy from the link has random stuttering, I have stuttering on dedicated server only and only at the beginning, after 2 min the mission runs perfectly, no stuttering, very good fps, etc. From hardware standpoint everything is solid - low temps, EUFI BIOS updated with last update, last AMD chipset drivers and GeForce drivers installed. Edit: Thank you for pointing me to Resource Monitor! I have examined what is going on when the stuttering happens - all physical RAM is used (literally stays 100% for two min), then goes like 90% and the game starts to run normally! So the problem is the physical RAM is not enough! Another 16GB are needed probably ... Until then I should limit the RAM for both server and client? not possible for x64 version

@Gunter Severloh Thanks for the useful link, made things bind together in my thick head :) I have made basic.cfg and dedi.Arma3Profile where server.cfg is located (arma 3 root\server) and the launch params are: -cfg=server\basic.cfg -config=server\dedi.cfg -profiles="D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\server" -name=dedi -noPause -filePatching -mod="!Workshop\@3DMA - Alpha Group Equipment;!Workshop\@ace;!Workshop\@Advance Aero Effects;!Workshop\@-AMZ- Improved WS Sounds V7.8;!Workshop\@-AMZ- IWS - RHS AIO COMPAT;!Workshop\@Arma Realistic Map Assets V2;!Workshop\@Better Convoy;!Workshop\@BWMod;!Workshop\@CBA_A3;!Workshop\@CUP Terrains - Core;!Workshop\@Drongos Artillery;!Workshop\@FPV Drone Crocus;!Workshop\@Ivanivkova;!Workshop\@RHSAFRF;!Workshop\@RHSGREF;!Workshop\@RHSSAF;!Workshop\@RHSUSAF;!Workshop\@Task Force Arrowhead Radio (BETA!!!);!Workshop\@Armor Modifier - ACE" No errors, everything runs fine but the 2 min stuttering at the beginning is still there ... It will be funny if this is caused by Windows Defender checking the server as its is a virus or something :) Edit: Turning off Windows Defender gives nothing. I noticed that the shuttering is only at the beginning of the fist mission played on the server, all others have no stuttering at the beginning. Edit2: Restarting the mission with #restart admin command right after the mission beginning starts again without any stuttering. placebo, stuttering is in the beginning no matter how the mission is started, restarted, etc.

@Gunter Severloh About server.armaprofile ... is it the same as name.Arma3Profile ? If yes, I have it defined as dedi.Arma3Profile (there are difficulty settings, etc.), path is C:\Users\kiba3x\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\dedi and its defined when starting the server with -name=dedi For the basic.cfg ... I simply don't have it and use Arma3.cfg but there are no specific settings for the server there ... I cannot figure how to add it

@Gunter Severloh I didn't define any name for basic.cfg, I didn't change anything in Arma3.cfg (is this file used as basic.cfg when name is undefined?). Maybe the problem is the dedicated server profile doesn't have its own basic.cfg file?

@Gunter Severloh Good catch for the -enableHT, I have disabled it without any effect. Disabling cpu threads or any of launch params gives nothing too. Mission is just custom coop mission, its working fine when testing in eden, so probably is something with the dedicated server ... Here is the mission https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WukOa8Hjctt6edC_MUaqwr3jkpH5JO7T?usp=sharing I have the full rpt --> https://justpaste.it/hywok
