Hi, it's technically possible and the official variants use this same technique; you mainly need to know the texture path and have a UV texture template. We are working to provide such templates, but cannot yet confirm a timeline.

Today we're opening the public beta for the experimental client ports of Arma 3 to Linux and Mac. Please carefully read this overview page for the details, limitations and a F.A.Q. You can also contribute to the documentation here, and of course report issues on the Feedback Tracker. Feel free to discuss the ports in this thread generally, or open specific threads in this forums category. We're keen to learn how the ports work on your specific hardware / drivers / distributions. Please let us know about both your bad and good experiences as well. Even though there are some significant limitations, we hope this gives some of you a taste of Arma 3 on another platform than Windows. Enjoy!

Is it possible you died during a high altitude free fall?

Hi, please can you provide some more information for us? Do you have any mods loaded, and if so, can you try it also without any mods? When precisely does the issue start? Right from a scenario start? When you switch to the optics and back out? When you've died? What are the exact steps leading to this issue? You mention "all sights", but not all of them were tweaked. Can you list the ones that are affected?

Full changelog and SPOTREP

We hope to release these, but cannot confirm a timeline as we need artists available to clean up / prepare the PSD files.

Hoi! That clearly needs a mod 😎 There are some 'hidden' animations available for the coffin though ... Yes, that has always been the pillar of our DLC strategy. All props can be freely used by anyone without restrictions whatsoever. Premium items (such as uniforms) can still be included in the scenario, but will be some restrictions to non-owners. They will see DLC notifications while wearing them for example. But you should not have any problems including them in your missions.
