Darkhorse 1-6

Hm. Is the idea of having some sort of incinerator pod too outlandish? I know the common thing in Iraq was to dig a trench, dump all your crap in it, dump some fuel over it, and light the damn thing on fire while watching the fumes and smoke spread out across the FOB and the surrounding area. You'd think that in the futuristic ArmAversum things might be a little more... environmentally sound? less likely to turn your lungs black before you're 20? y'know, that sort of thing. ;) Also, with the back of the guard tower exposed like that, I'd suggest maybe having some camo netting over it? Possibly a roll placed at the top, or at the top and the middle, toggled by scroll menu. Edit- Thinking about FOBs and going over some of my dad's old pictures from '04, one more realistic suggestion comes to mind. Mortar pits. I'm not sure if they'd be made with hesco, or sandbags, but every self-respecting FOB has to be able to lob some welcome packages at anybody trying to personally greet a patrol. Also, illumination.

Is there an explanation for why BISim has included a "Down's Syndrome Child" model under both the Iraqi and the Afghan Civilians factions? Afghan: https://resources.bisimulations.com/content/index.html?category=People&group=af_civilians&object=vbs2_af_child_male_downs_01 Iraqi: https://resources.bisimulations.com/content/index.html?category=People&group=iq_civilians&object=vbs2_iq_child_downs_01 (and the next 5 entries down the list)

Prof and Vilas were talking about how the copilot may have had some mental issue/depression/etc. and then I replied, saying how depression is easy to hide because nobody really pays attention or wants to notice. Vilas then replied to my reply, agreeing with me and expanding on it, giving some rather... extreme (lol) examples of what somebody might want to say to their boss when they intead only say polite/nice/friendly things.. He was talking about the custom of asking "how are you" and the response being "great/good/etc. etc." because most of the time the person asking the question doesn't really want to know, they just ask out of custom, and the person responding to the question can be (and usually is) either completely bullshitting/lying, or talking only about happy things, instead of whatever is actually going on with them at the moment, and that got brought up because I said people don't really want to know about problems, which makes them easy to hide. *shrug* depression can come and go like the tide, Prof. If that's what he had, he'd have been able to hide it during flights. Maybe after long periods of time, or if something stressful happened during a flight, it would be noticeable, but I'm not that surprised. I don't know much about how airlines operate, but I would think it's possible he didn't always fly with the same pilot? definitely not with the same crew, so I doubt anybody would have been exposed to him for a long enough period of time for it to become apparent. Besides, pilots and copilots aren't necessarily friends, or have to get along (personally. getting along professionally while flying is obviously a requirement) so maybe him and the pilot didn't talk to each other much, or maybe the pilot just thought the copilot was a bit tired or under stress etc. etc. Personally I think this was partly planned and partly spontaneous. He'd been throwing out doctor's notes for a while, apparently. He could have planned to kill himself (as in suicide. single person. etc.) but kept finding excuses not to. and then on that day, during that flight, maybe something in him snapped, or clicked, or whatever. Maybe "all the wrong forces came together" at precisely the moment where he was contemplating his life, or the possibility of not being able to fly, and he decided to do it instantly with no planning whatsoever. We'll never really know. If there's an afterlife, we know he has a damn good chance at ending up in the fiery depths portion of it, but that's about it. People are good at hiding things. Especially their thoughts and emotions. You learn to hide them because you're afraid of how people might react to them. If you do share them with others, more often than not you just get confirmation that it's a bad thing to do, so you keep things to yourself more and more. I'm going to use an extreme example, and one that personally affected me greatly even though I never met him in person. Robin Williams. Did any of you see his suicide coming? His own family didn't expect it. And you're telling me that a mere coworker would be able to know the man sitting next to him was unstable? Your expectation that someone should have noticed is a bit crazy to me. Nobody notices these things! People in that sort of mindset can hide it from anyone they damn well want to. They might reach out, hoping someone will notice, but what they think is obvious isn't obvious at all. Combine that with the fact that nobody pays attention to that sort of thing/nobody wants to know about it/acknowledge it/etc. etc. and you get a recipe for a sudden and unexpected suicide. If that is what this was, then nobody can be held responsible except the doctor (unless privacy laws kept him from notifying the employer) or the person at the airline who knew about it if the doctor had notified them. The copilot is a murderer, that's pretty well established now. Beyond that, if he was suicidal, or depressed, there's about one chance in hell that somebody would have been able to guess it, trust me on this.

Meh. It's not that hard to hide at all, because people don't want to see it in the first place. It's only obvious after the person does something very noticable that affects others in some way. (suicide, murder, etc. etc.)

After putting it off for a couple years I finally picked up Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within/the DLCs in the steam sale this past week. It's like a cross between The X-Files, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Mass Effect. Plus it's turn based which means I very rarely get my ass kicked, but when I do I lose 4 members of my squad in a single operation and make myself stare at the memorial for ten minutes while the funeral music plays/while I play Wander My Friends (Bear McCreary). I frakking love it.

aaaand why are you posting that image that's been discussed to death?? (both in this forum and on the internet in general) Are you trying to out-walker walker?

Has he woken up yet?

Plot Twist: There's an upscaled F-35 under that tarp.

I haven't been crying for a half hour. No, no, it's the cold temperatures, and some dust in my eye, I swear.

The problem with that was that once the vehicles were X distance away from the player, they ceased to have geolods and the trailer dropped off the truck. Which made it completely unusable for AI purposes, and is why it was dropped by most of the people investigating it when they could not find a way around the issue.

Are you guys really as delusional as your posts imply you to be? First you claim that you're not using any ripped content, but downloaded a sat image of the airport the Altis airport was based off of and that's why it looks so similar. Then you backtrack and admit you're using parts ripped from Altis, and go further to say that you're using a stolen/ripped copy of L3DT, which can almost certainly get you an infraction if not a ban around here. Your MANW pictures/video showed exact copy-pasted content from a community project (applegate lake) that matched up down to the streetsigns and the location of bushes on sidewalks. Content that you were trying (by entering it in MANW) to make money off of without the creator's permission. Through it all you try to attack/ridicule anybody who points out what are glaringly obvious facts. I hope you enjoy your time here while it lasts, because from everything I have seen from you, you won't be around too much longer if you keep heading in the same direction.

Words cannot express how I feel seeing this come up, thinking it was alive once more, and finding out it was just you, a new member without any brains whatsoever, who has never seen a calendar or a list of rules before in your life. The only words that come close to expressing it are also against the rules. So, these three will have to do.

I can't for the life of me remember how, but you can change the size of objects when placing them in visitor/TB, which should help you on placing certain things on the map. (Like the fuel tanks/oil tanks/whatever they are in the 2nd screenshot off the nose of the A-10/wipeout/whatever) I'll see if I can find out how again & I'll let you know. It's also particularly useful with the hangars.

There's already an account with that name, and that account has more than 0 posts. Gotta read the first post in this thread, man.

I apologize, I have difficulty communicating what I mean at times. I didn't mean to imply that what Kju is doing is extortion (because it isn't), I was saying that what you described sounded like it. "if (like in this case), the community doesn't give, then the consequence is that they won't get their mod anymore either." sounds like extortion to me. If a person starts a mod as a hobby, shows it around, gets some interest, and then says the only way it's getting finished or released is if they get X amount of donations, it's extortion, it's wrong, and that person is an asshole who will get little to no money. While I haven't seen it happen yet, that's what you were describing. If we eventually get payware addons (which I'm against, but I feel as if I'm fighting the tide, so meh.) it's a completely different story, but in the here and now what you described goes against what BI has stated on monetary gain, and it's a situation that is just plain wrong.

Then it should never have been started in the first place. If you don't have time for your hobby, you don't have time. If BI ever allows payware, then by all means create things and charge a price you feel your time is worth (but beware, you'll probably barely break even), but otherwise? No. What you speak of sounds like extortion, and the day I give into that or remain silent while it happens on these forums will be a cold day in hell. http://media.giphy.com/media/7LAqMVFxOGPAc/giphy.gif (445 kB)

Useless post by a cherry #38562390. *pins your medal on you* (search before posting, man.)

multiple threads? Nope. I haven't been very active in these forums for a while now. You can check my profile page, Fabio. I probably said something when he first announced his Patreon and I saw the goals, because I remember laughing at them, but definitely didn't post in multiple threads, then or now. As for "false accusations" I believe you need to educate yourself on Kju's "experiment". His hope was to get enough money a month from donations "to make a living from" making a new game mode for ArmA 3. Here in the US those words mean an ABSOLUTE minimum of around $1,000 a month. Except, working minimum wage gets you around that mark, over it if I remember correctly (assuming 40 hours a week, not 32) and you still don't have enough money for the whole month and have to rely on government assistance in the form of "foodstamps". Food, water, electric, (natural gas, if his house uses it), cell phone bill or home phone or both, internet bill, TV bill (if he watches TV), gasoline/petrol for a car (buttloads more expensive than in the US, if he's in Europe. I think Germany? not sure), cigarette money if he smokes, car insurance, health insurance or doctors bills, pet food if applicable, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Which, if you just say "screw it" when it comes to calculating precisely how much money it takes to cover every single expense and probably have a hundred or couple hundred dollars/euros/whatever left over, comes to "thousands upon thousands". I don't laugh at the amount Kju needed, I laugh because he hoped to get it from this community. We're all frakking misers, when it counts anyways (I may or may not have been one of the suckers who bought the supporters edition) and that won't change. Only the BF2 and CoD crowd have adopted the "throw money at people" methods. Oh, and people who play The Sims. (Kind of FSX too, but it seems most of the paid stuff there is brilliantly done, and I don't want to insult them by lumping them in with CoD.) Note to Kju: I've got nothing against you, man. I'm just a very straight-forward person, I don't like bullshit (in general. doesn't apply to this particular situation or you), and I tend to speak plainly and without consideration for people taking offense at my words. I know you've been around a long time, I know you've contributed quite a bit to this community over the years, which is why I was disappointed with this whole thing from the beginning. You know this community. Yet you hoped to get us/it/whatever to pay you (enough to make a living, in your own words) to make a game mode for A3. I don't know why you didn't just apply at BI instead, I assume you have your own reasons, but it's confused me from the start. You clearly stated you had no intention of doing ArmA modding as a hobby anymore when you posted 4 months ago or so. Why draw it out? Did you hope that the threat/statement of your intention to leave the community (essentially. since you said you no longer play, no longer wish to do it as a hobby, and that all your PC time is limited due to injury and must be strictly work) would spark a legion of people to become your employer? I mean, damn, man, that's just silly. Not even stupid, it's just downright silly. Posting the knowledge you gained from your attempt is somewhat useful, probably, but that you made the attempt at all is just sad. We all knew it couldn't be done, you had to have known that yourself. :(

Expecting the people in here to pay him thousands upon thousands of dollars to mod for ArmA, then leaving, or quitting, or whatever you want to call it, when they don't... I suspect Kju is/was in the wrong community.

If I were you I would change the name to anything but ArmA 3 Life. Just sayin'.

To start with, the content (what wasn't made by Opteryx/BI) in Applegate was made by el76, and Applegate itself was created by Opteryx. When you first put up your entry, you were passing it off as all your own work, without crediting the people who you were hoping to make money off of. The download page for the original terrain source files very clearly states no commercial use. However, since you claim to have discarded that terrain, that can be set aside. What cannot be set aside is the license that el76 included with his objects. He even went so far as to place it on a giant rotating cube inside the terrain itself. http://arma2.battlegroundeurope.de/el76/credits4_co.jpg (427 kB) He confirmed that you did not have permissions to enter it into MANW. One of your videos on the MANW page very clearly showed an entire frakking city was copied from the Applegate Community Project (where the source files were uploaded to) and placed on your terrain. Or that you were using Applegate itself. It didn't even require any in-depth analysis, it was so glaringly obvious that I was amazed that anybody with an IQ high enough to register for MANW would think they could get away with it. As far as asking Falcos goes, what does that have to do with anything? Only el76 himself can give permissions for his work to be used for monetary gain. MANW = monetary gain. If you decided not to enter, didn't upload anything to BI, etc. then there would not have been a problem, as he gave permissions for the community to use it. It's the potentially making money off of it that causes problems. You can send me PMs all day long, tovarisch, but at the end of the day you're just digging a deeper hole, making false claims and generally making yourself look like an idiot.

Well then you are SOL, tovarisch, because DayZ standalone is being worked on by a professional team from BI, or at least that was the plan last time I heard anything about it, which admittedly has been some time ago. If you think DayZ SA isn't going to be good enough, then nothing BI makes in the same exact genre will ever be good enough, because BI is making SA.

alt+print screen should work, you just have to paste it out into paint/etc.

They come when called, tovarisch. I've got a good book about a viper pilot who flew weasels, picked it up at an airport layover. He came in in support of a marine unit pinned down off a highway, in the middle of a giant sandstorm if memory serves. Nobody else could get into the air to cover these guys, who were about to be overrun, so he called in and asked for their position, the position of the enemy, and a direction from which to make his first pass. Had to do several passes, gun runs on an Iraqi convoy, the works. They're usually strike, but they don't hesitate to go into the weeds if needed.

I don't think you understand... if you didn't have your project submitted by last month, your project is not entered into MANW.
