Hey Softt, Do you mean vehicles that can be dropped? Or vehicles that are doing the dropping? If you mean vehicles that can be dropped or delivered then it should work fine by editing the logistics.hpp file //tup_logistics_defence = ["Hedgehog","Hhedgehog_concrete"]; //tup_logistics_air = ["C130J"]; //tup_logistics_land = ["HMMWV_M2"]; //tup_logistics_crate = ["USBasicWeaponsBox"]; //tup_logistics_static = ["M2StaticMG"]; PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNCOMMENT THE LINES BY REMOVING THE // If you mean changing which helo's/trucks/planes are doing the dropping then that is a different matter.

The ARC341 is not actually supposed to be "picked up" its a virtual radio for aircraft. The model error has been fixed though for the next release. Appreciate the feedback!

Aspect ratio still only good for 16:9 (minor offset for 16:10)... working on it.

Just to let you guys know... v0.2 is currently being tested by the awesome VCB (UK Milsim group) and should be released shortly. Changelog - 1. Fixed Bowman radios to share common VHF channels (354,355,356,341) 2. Included new manpack radio models from Da12thMonkey (RKSL) 3. New Rebro functionality added here's some screenies to wet the appetite: [table] [tr] [td] [/td] [td] [/td] [/tr] [/table]

Was on VOLCBAT's MSO server tonight with the famous headless client using the latest MSO 4.55... awesome performance, very very stable and way way better than 4.5 and previous. This has really turned the corner now, with the database, FOB building, logistics, AI enemy offloaded to another core, persistence across the board, really very good. The enemy are almost too good now. Can't believe how much MSO has changed in the last few months (for the better!)

ComSec - read the documentation on how to use, two people (or more) must be using the same encryption key. It works by changing frequencies as ComSec isn't part of ACRE today.

Awesome. Thank you!

No real plans to provide programmable functionality. The range of frequencies should suffice, include ComSec and you should be fine. The 325 is programmable and could be used for Fires or section/plt/coy Comms. How many frequencies do you need? The 325 has 100 channels. My thoughts are: Inf Section uses UK PRC343 with up to 16 channels available 2.4ghz range (I could implement ComSec here to help) Section > Platoon uses the 354/355/356 with 10 channels available 30-87mhz Platoon > Fires/hq uses the 325 with 100 channels available 2-60mhz Using this mix should be suffice for company level comms. As an example Section 1 - 343 channel 1 Section 2 - 343 channel 2 Section 3 - 343 channel 3 Manoeuvre support - 343 channel 4 Mortar/spt - 343 channel 5 Platoon HQ - 343 channel 6 Coy HQ - 343 channel 7 Fires sections - 343 channels 8-10 (assuming some distance from sections) Other - 343 channels 11-16 Platoon Cmd net - 354/355/356 - channel 3 Mech/motor inf sections - 354/355/356 - channel 7 CAS flights - 341 - channel 10 Sections to CAS - 354/355/356 - channel 10 Sections to fires - 354/355/356 - channel 5 Plt/coy hq to fires - 325 - channel 5 Plt to coy hq - 325 channel 4 Etc etc You could even use the UK CLR for plt net or mech inf channels You can also use ComSec to increase the number of frequencies used as a work-around My first priority is to fix the UI offset issues at aspect ratios other than 16:9.

I got 1kg from the manufacturer, assuming its more with additional batteries? Can increase that. (http://www.exelisinc.com/solutions/Centaur-Light-Weight-VHF-Portable-Radio/Pages/default.aspx) Icon top left, no plans to turn that off. Thanks for the feedback! Tup

BETA v0.1 RELEASED (See first post)

MSO has Patrol Ops built in where players are tasked with "random" (or a set array of missions), all enemy generation is pretty much random and you could with some scripting add markers if you wanted to specify where those enemy spawned. MSO is modular so you can add and remove components you don't want, its optimized for MP play and the latest version is even compatible with the Headless Client technology BIS implemented recently.

Check out MSO.

ComSec works. There's no frequency hopping or free space searching. Clearly the UI etc is not the "real thing", mainly due to laziness/game experience/OPSEC The radios are reasonably realistic in that their performance isn't wonderful :) I didn't simulate the transmission burns, dead batteries, signal failures though...

Haven't managed to test it properly yet and the season celebrations got in the way :) Next week!

Most likely that the PRC119 has duplicated items in the ruck?

All good. At the moment we're in testing phase to ensure the range of the radios is accurate. For those of you interested, here's the basic documentation - https://docs.google.com/document/d/19zj_wlXsq1kpiz_9s6GUApWBKoOtv1sSh50kgLGb1EM/edit All the code is written, so just need to complete testing and then i'll release it.

Above my paygrade!

http://i48.tinypic.com/2928ykw.png (1443 kB) ---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ---------- Added the new PRC 343 v1.4 as UK/PRC-343, range is up to 1km. Added the new British Commanders Lightweight Radio (based on the Harris 7800S TR) as the UK/PRC-CLR. This "compliments" the very unpopular 354, it's lighter, smaller, although range is only around 2km. Added a new ACRE BAF crate too. Field testing continues, hoping to release before Xmas.

Added two new radios! UK/PRC-325 - Long range HF radio (aka PRC117f - adjusted for BAF use, increased pack capacity, slightly lower weight) UK/ARC-341 - An airborne VHF radio for air-ground comms, accessed using the RT1477 interface - included on BAF/VCB/UKF aircraft Updated the first post... also another pic here ---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ---------- Gracias!

Updated - now included the portable UK/PRC-354 radio to the pack.
