@vinceXD - Cheers

@kju. Thanks for letting me know that the iron front wiki is down/lost. Would really find it very useful to have the full IFL:44 and the IFA3 class list on line on your website. Look forward to seeing this.

Thank you Gunter. Is there a full class list for iron front in arma 3?

Hi Kju What happened to the official IF wiki?

Dear All, I have liaised with, Sander, whom has made an original coop mission pack for IFL:44 and he has given me permission to convert these to IFA3. I have made a start with the SP/Coop mission, IFA3 Co14 Automatic Drive, which I have released on my steam workshop. (See below) Summary The conversion to IFA3, included the following additions: I have put in new versions of the F3 mission framework; Added in a IFA3 only limited Virtual Ammo System Box(VAS); Added in a paradrop system for mission insert options; Added CH View Distance Script by champ-1; Increased performance significantly by implementing ZBE_Cache AI & Vehicle caching by zorrobyte; In the mission startup parameters the mission admin can choose from 3 different medical systems and 3 different radio TS3 plugin systems: Medical System options include: BIS default; F3 simple wounding; AGM medical system Radio options include: Default BIS; TFAR; ACRE; ACRE2 Mission admin, can from the briefing screen, choose a range of Zeus options if needed. This utilses the F3 Zeus Support component which is a collection of functions that make it easier for advanced users to designate themselves, or any player, as curator ("Zeus") using the debug console. Download I am happy for these following mission links and the mission downloads to be held on other websites. If you wish to download this mission please see details below: Chief's SP/MP Coop Server Friendly Missions on Steamworkshop http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198007165943/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410 IFA3 Co14 Automatic Drive http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=367282693 I will continue to convert more of Sander's IFL44 mission pack over the coming months. Hope you like it and please enjoy. Happy new year Chief

It was working this afternoon, as I downloaded the patch. But it is not now.

1. Make sure you have sapper tools in your binoculars item box. 2. Make sure you have wire(any length) 3. Make sure you have a detonator 4. Place down ordinance on the ground 5. Attach wire to ordinance 6. Move a distance away to hide from blast area 7. Place detonator on the ground 8. Attach wire to the detonator 9. Use detonator. 10. Watch boom!:)

Cheers Kju, much appreciated for the patch and info.

Cheers Santa Six!

Cheers Kju and team. Wonderful update. Much appreciated. Regarding the fix you mentioned above for the bug with the "sappers in editor, if you try a preview appears a "no modoptics" message. Did this fix go into another patch and get released or will we have to wait till the next major update? many thanks Chief

Dear All, I have made major overhauls to my 2 latest SP/Coop missions today, on my steamworkshop. They are Panovo and Baranow map versions of my Op Ravenous mission, which is also based on the Staszow map. Please see the details below. In summary, I have put in new versions of the F3 mission framework, removed TAW view distance and replaced with CH View Distance Script by champ-1 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?185770-CH-View-Distance-Script I have also increased performance significantly by implementing ZBE_Cache AI & Vehicle caching by zorrobyte http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?179777-ZBE_Cache-AI-amp-Vehicle-caching-script-addon Removed Farrooq's Revive. In the mission startup parameters the mission admin can choose from 3 different medical systems and 3 different radio TS3 plugin systems: Medical System options include: BIS default; F3 simple wounding; AGM medical system Radio options include: Default BIS; TFAR; ACRE; ACRE2 Mission admin, can from the briefing screen, choose a range of Zeus options if needed. This utilses the F3 Zeus Support component which is a collection of functions that make it easier for advanced users to designate themselves, or any player, as curator ("Zeus") using the debug console. IFA3 Co25 Op Ravenous Updates The missions now also include more High Command (HC) options for those playing on there own or with a limited number of coop players. These can be controlled from mission leaders spot only. The HC options include: 3 x Polish Guerrilla Fighter Units; 1 x P47 CAS 1 x Sherman Tank and Crew; 1 x 2 man mortar team; 1 x 2 man sniper/spotter team The mission runs UPSMON but is highly compatible with Robalo's ASR-AI-3. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?173515-Asr-ai-3 If you wish to download these 2 missions please see details below: Chief's SP/MP Coop Server Friendly Missions on Steamworkshop http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198007165943/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410 Op Ravenous Panovo http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=361169661 Op Ravenous Baranow http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=360652768 Hope you like the updates and enjoy.

Hi Dar, Not for me to answer your questions. But, regarding your last one. I hardly ever play in clear weather conditions because it's too bright. So I run it mostly in cloudy or in the rain. Check out my steam screenshot and you will see what I mean. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=324892810

I think you are right about this mate, but only if the AI are prone. On the other hand, I did notice that the AI find it very hard to spot you, if they are standing up in the long grass and you are prone and moving towards them slowly in the long grass. This may help if you need to move up closer, for a more stealthy kill

Dear Chaps, I have also set up a Steam Group Called: Chief's Iron Front in Arma 3 Co-op Tactical Gaming Squad You can join it by following the below steam link. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/IFA3

Hi Chaps, Tonight from 19:00 - 22:00 GMT/UTC I hosted Iron Front missions in Arma 3. I had several people try to join me, but only 1 person made it through. Thanks Gewy for joining in and playing. We used the Task Force Radio Mod for Arma 3 along with Teamspeak 3, to enhance the mission communications. All in all, it was a good first run at a Sunday coop mission event. If all the other people whom tried to join me and Gewy, but failed and would like to try again, then I suggest that they read the following post to help get themselves set-up with all the correct and signed mods to join in the fun. http://ironfront.forumchitchat.com/post/chiefs-iron-front-in-arma-3-coop-tactical-gaming-squad-7140469?pid=1284879376#post1284879376 I look forward to playing with more people next Sunday at 19:00 GMT/UTC with this wonderful mod for Arma 3. best wishes Chief

Hi Chaps, I am making a coop mission pack for IFA3. I want to include in the missions, the virtual ammo system by Tonic, which restricts it to only IFA3 content rather than vanilla A3. Is there a complete classlist available for IFA3 which includes the following items? 1. Weapons 2. Magazines 3. Items 4. Packpacks 5. Googles Much appreciated Chief

Thanks for the requests Chaps, I am working on an IFA3 coop mission pack, with the sole purpose of supporting no respawn coop mission events. When it's done I will probably share with the community. @Gunter, when it's done, I will discuss with you, how to share it via your Iron Front Mission repository.

Hi mate. I have made a coop mission that also uses the high command system for other AI/playble squads. It's a 20 player coop based in Normandy.

@thunder IFA3SA is released and playable. I have been having some fun with it, for the last few weeks.
