I think I will go with i7 6700k and Asus 1070 8GB.. This an upgrade for the future so I want to avoid any upgrades for the upcoming years. Also I'm not upgrading because of Arma but it would be good if I can see any benefits for this game.

My budget is around 1500 euros. The only reason I consider the 6700K is that I want to avoid future upgrades for the next 4 years and to be more future proof .

Thanks! Well I only play 1080p and that is the reason why I mentioned the first setup.

I plan to buy a new computer soon but I have a dilemma about the CPU and the GPU I want to buy. So it's either the combination of i7-6700K 4.0 GHZ and the GTX 1060 6GB version or the i5-6600k and GTX1070 .. It's a budget question and I have to go with one of the alternatives. Any ideas?

So we don't need the original Iron Front game to play with the lite, correct? Also there seems to be an issue. I downloaded the mod but one member of the tank crew spawns on the top of the tank.. Is this a bug? I tried to put some units and the only weird thing is the placement of the tank crew.

Best A-10 in the game so far! Not my favourite plane but you changed that with your amazing work, and it's still only BETA!!

Excellent work! Thanks for the release! Will you add the same as F-16? The ability to lase targets? I think you should do the same with all your aircraft

No Sea or Naval warfare DLC? So much water totally wasted!

Yeah new lighting looks OK with BIS terrains but new lighting destroyed almost all custom maps. They look like OFP terrains.

For me the only good news would be the announcement of Arma 4 everything else is waste of money and manpower in an already 3-4 years old game. Put everything you've got to build a new Arma game based on the enfusion engine.

No offence Solano but your mod was a blessing but also a curse. I liked how it was before the 1.60 update, it was up to thn player to decide if he wanted to make use of Real Light or use the default lighting. It's quite clear that you were an insipiration for BIS and I'm sure that the visual update was related to your mod. Unfortunately that move caused much more damage than good. I know many that decided to leave the game because custom maps they used to play on turned out to be much worse than before. All in all you did a great job but unfortunately also inspired ( not your fault :) BIS to make the game less interesting visually.

Hopefully you can do what Firewill did on his planes! The ability to lock and lase the target as pilot.

For me Arma 3 has come to an end. The game has been out for more than 3 years now and it's quite common that people and business move on. Personally I was hyped many many times during this period for DLCs and announced improvements . The visual update was the reason why I lost my passion for the game. Many of the custom maps I used to play are not appealing any more so I just removed them from my SSD. Also I expected the game to be much more optimized after 3 years of continues development. Nobody except BIS knows if they plan an Arma 4 but I know one thing for sure. If they decide to work on a new Arma game I will be much more cautious with future purchases. If we talk about huge engine improvements it will be positive otherwise I will turn my back to Arma for the first time since 2001.

The new lighting killed the game for me. I know there has been a discussion about this many many times before but truth is that most if not all custom terrains are dead for me. Atmosphere has been lost and maps don't look as good as before. This and the very weak optimization of the game killed the whole experience. I will keep the game installed on my computer but will stay away until and if things get sorted out.

Lol, so many wishes hope that something will happen with this mod :)

Nope I have the same issue and it's really annoying.

IMO this a pointless thread! BIS don't care or can't do anything about it. Either accept the fact that game is a disaster in terms of optimization/CPU utilization or move on and play other games.

Good news, hope that we all can have the pleasure to enjoy an update or a fix to the current BC. Of course according to the rules :)

Amazing looking map, but I still believe that map would look much better with the old lighting in the game. However great job!

It would be a huge strategic mistake to develop Arma 4 on the same engine. And BTW I think it's foolish to talk about Arma 4 and create rumours from nowhere.

Thank you firewill!

Sorry but how can I add laserdesignator into the aircraft? I have no idea!

Can you lase target with targetting pod? Then return lock on the target and release a bomb? I tried this out and there is a red circle over the target but I can't lock on it.

To be honest I'm disappointed with the current development. After my vacation I tried Arma 3 again and I was disappontied mostly about the decreased game performance and also about the new visuals.. Some things are good like the sound and other in game features but performance and visuals keep my away from the game. This is really sad since Arma 3 is only one of the few games I used to play.

Sorry I'm on vacation so I can't test . So lasing a locked target is working now?
