I beg to differ Im running a AMD FX-8320E in my secondary gaming desktop with great results! Though I have a GTX 970 in it i get 60-70 fps in single player and 45-60fps on my personal Arma 3 server. Note i have it OC to 4.3ghz but thats only a 300mhz oc from the boost. The weakest link is your GPU but that is still a solid system and will handle Arma 3 at 1080p with out a problem. Draw distance is where you will eat up performance as long as you play with the settings you will be fine.

Hello ladies and gents, I just recently rented a Arma 3 server so a couple of my friends and I can play and practice I got them all started on Arma 3 so they are beginners. But my question is im trying to put patrol ops 4.0 on my server and not sure how to do it. I know how to add custom multiplayer maps, and addons/mods to the server through FTP, but I don’t understand how patrol ops works I downloaded the mod through steam workshop and couldn’t find the files in any directory. Normally it would be under this directory when downloaded from the workshop D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop but nowhere to be found… also not in the multiplayer maps folder under C:/ documents. I also downloaded the mod straight from the devs website and unpacked it and this gives me a folder for each island and a .pbo for each island. I also looked at ever file in the addon folder and could not locate the .pbo files described above? So to sum this up I just need to know where to put these files, this is why I downloaded it off the workshop so I could see the install directories but cant seem to find them.(The senario shows up and functions 100% when i host a MP COOP on lan from in game) Not sure if this matters or not but im using gamerservers.com so this is what ive got to work with as far as server config goes. On a side note if anyone knows how to increase view distance on the server side that would be great im pretty sure they have limited the server.cfg but im such a noob at this atm only had this server for less than a month. Thank you all for the help if anyone has the time I would love to pick your brain on how to better set up this server or if there is a better server host out there with more options etc please let me know the only reason I used this company was because I had another game server with them. As always thank you so much for your help! Sincerely, Shadow // // server.cfg // // comments are written with "//" in front of them. // STEAM steamport = 2303; // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname = ""; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list password = ""; // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin = ""; // Password to become server admin.

You just made my night firewill downloading it now cant wait to fly them!!!!!!

Long story short I can write a PC off on my taxes this year since all my classes are online so I was thinking of building a second gaming rig. Im currently running a Intel 4770k @ 4.2ghz the only reason I build this rig was for Arma 3. I read a old thread about Ryzen not performing well but that was with brand new untested drivers and bios. So im wondering if any of you have a Ryzen pc and how its doing now with some of the kinks worked out. Not to mention according to a news article AMD is releasing a bundle with the new Vega 64 that gives you 200 off a Samsung 34” freesync monitor as well as 100 off a Ryzen 1700 and mobo combo. So that would probably be the pc I put together. Thanks all for the information. Shadowlid

Firewill Have i ever told you that i love you? You have excellent taste in aircraft. The YF-23 should have won the program and i think the airforce is seeing that now look at the F35 its a slow turd in the air but sports a super computer under the hood. The YF23 had a far more advanced computer system than the YF-22 not to mention it had a much higher supercruise speed around 1.8 mach if i remember correctly and it was more stealthy. I honeslty think it was to advanced for its time and since no other country at the time had a program to compare they went with the less advance jet due to loosing one in combat would give away many more trade secrets. I am so happy to see you working on these two planes any thing you touch turns to gold in the air!!!!! Please keep up the good work and thank you so much for what you have already done for this community!

Im hopeful that my pre order was soon enough for my VIve that its a April shipment it should be. My question is what if any software do i need to be able to support free head movement in Arma 3. I really only need it for in vehicles ( Jets ,Etc ) So will it be plug and play or will i need to download any software. Note the reason im asking now it my max download speed is 156kbs!!! Yes you heard that right so if the file(s) are of any size it can take hours for me to download them.

My main reason for playing ARMA is the large maps and the ability to fly fighter jets. I have been searching for a sever that utilizes jets either against the AI or PVP. I make my own missions where i play myself against 6-10 enemy jets but thats getting old. I want to try my skills against someone that will give me a run for my money. Not to mention I would love to join a Clan that is Air power focused! Not to mention with VR comes out the dog fighting in ARMA 3 will be par non! No other game will have the full war experience like arma 3!!!

Well simple question how big could you actually make a Arma 3 map? Second question what would be the biggest map playable by a MP server?

Any idea when you will release this plane? I chopping at the bit to fly it!

Ahhhh I can finally fly a F16 that fully functions!!!!! That is a beautiful looking F16 your skills are amazing! Can't wait to fly it any chance of a alpha release?

Ok guy/girls I have the full (13gb version) of the All in Arma mod and im trying to script and get a different load out for a F22A the missiles that the jet have do not work with the mod. The launch but the jet can out run them there are super slow so I was wondering if it was possible to script the new missile from arma3 in the load out for the F22. The F22a addon im using is a ARMA 2 ADDON so im not sure if this would work? But if it will could you give me a sample to go off of I have messed around with it for hours trying different scripts and I just dont know what im doing. Newbie to scripting. Everything else on the jet works afterburners, flares etc. Thanks all for the help!!! Shadowlid

Got ya thanks for the info. Guess i just got to wait til the F22 addon comes out for ARMA 3 ive been watching it! Well thanks again for the info! Shadowlid

You are my hero! Finally someone working on the F22! Where can i donate my money? You got paypal?

I have been pondering this idea for some time now. Lets say I want a certain mod for Arma 3 lets say a F22 not a port from arma 2 but a redesigned one with stealth technologies, interactive cock pit, real thrust vectoring similar to the real jet etc etc. I think it would be helpful to have a fund set up be it PayPal or what ever that people can pre donate to and the person who develops the exact mod to the specifications of the community gets the money at the discretion of the community. I say have a trial like our military does. Here is my idea on the structure of this. I start a thread stating what I would like to see in the mod. Then have a set time for others in the community to put in their input on it. Say 3 weeks. At the end of the 3 weeks put it to a vote for the final product expected. Then set a goal for the amount to be donated say $300. Once this is set see if there is any one in the developing community that wants to take on the challenge for that price. If there is multiple people then do this also like the military does the winner takes all. If all this works and devs take on the challenge start donating. (And I say let all who donate be part of the testing of mods as they develop this would be another incentive to donate.) Then when all devs have a final product let the community test the mods vote on the best one and then the winner gets the prize money. Of course a very trusted person would have to be in control of the money, fund, etc. Say a administrator on the fourm or I don’t know im open to ideas. Maybe charge a small fee for the mod be it .20 cents. I mean if you get 3000 downloads that would be $600 bucks! I would pay .20 cents for a mod all day long! This would make developing rewarding to the developers as well as the community in getting what they want? Also it would drive the developers to put in their all on the mod which in turn would make for some great stable mods!!! What do you guys think? Do you think it would work? I don’t mind paying for other peoples work I mean the FA18 on arma 2 and amra 2 have given me countless hours of play time and that to me is worth some reward to the person that put in countless hours of work just to let us have what we want! Best regards, Shadowlid Also before someone says that Bohemia already has a contest going this would be different because they only offer one prize per category and the community really does not have any input its just devs making what they want.

Hey man thank you so much for doing this jet one thing i noticed the lack of is red planes to fight etc. I dont know if it would be possible but could there be a active radar in the cockpit that showed the enemy jets?

This was just a idea man all Theoretical. I would just like to reward the deveolpers for there hard work i know $300 would not even touch the work that went into a good mod.

I was just wondering what rigs the devs are running because im getting poor performance out of my current rig(S). But obviously the developers are running the game just fine on their rigs so what are they running so i can copy their build if possible price is a object not looking to drop 2k+ into a build for just one game. But general questions are AMD or Intel(CPU) AMD or Nvidia(GPU) SSD or standard HDDS What OS are they running? Im not a fanboy i buy what ever works and is on sale. I like Intel AMD and Nvidia. So i just want smooth game play on Ultra 1920x1080. And i want to see as far as possible.(I like dog fighting on the game!) Thanks all! Shadowlid

Hey guys/girls im trying to get rid of the haze i have when turning my view distance up to 12000 meters. I downloaded a mission off steam work shop and it did not have the haze. But i cant seem to get it to go away. I changed weather to 0 fog, 0 rain 0 everything and no luck. Also turned off all blur and have tried disabling everything in the video settings still no luck. Im just playing single player missions with jets and uavs and would like to see the full distance if possible Thanks all Shadowlid

What fps are you getting Im running AMD 955be @3.8ghz 560ti 2gb @ 900mhz 8gb ram Running 7200rpm 64mb cache drive (Put my ssd in lappy to increase fps) im getting right at 20fps avg(low 15fps high 30fps) on ultra 1920x1080 60hz it seems like when i put a good amount of ai, around 45 or so, in the game my fps drops bad. Im due for a upgrade this system is over 2 years old im lacking in the cpu department im afraid. Im thinking i7-4770k GTX770 Evo ssd This should get me at a solid at least 40fps on ultra? Do you think? ---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ---------- LOL i seen that beast if only i could afford it!! :) I bet i could get some killer fps on DOOM 2 with that bad boy!!!!

Thanks Chortles I found it "What hardware were they running it on and how smooth did it play? (@erockbart) Very, very smoothly. A frame counter wasn’t visible, so don’t interpret this as scientific, but I felt I was running at 50-60+ frames throughout the demo. Bohemia was running a Core i7 at 3.2 GHz and a single GTX 580. Not low-end equipment, certainly, but I wouldn’t call that exotic, either. I encountered one or two microscopic hitches while helicoptering, but the game behaved extremely well overall. There was no noticeable dip in framerate when I right-click zoomed in most situations, and gunfire/explosions had zero effect on performance. The largest mission I had probably had 20-25 enemy infantry (and an enemy vehicle) scattered across a kilometer or two, plus my six or seven-man squad." So thats what ill base my build on and that should not break the bank! Thanks man, Shadowlid

Holy crap balls bat man those look freaking sweet can't wait to shoot down some enemy's with them!!!

:) thank you so much for working on this addon ! The jet looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to shoot it down lol! But I'll fly it too!!!

Is this a custom built rig or a store bought One if its a custom rig I would over clock the crap out of your CPU and GPU. And while your at it your ram. I would download the latest drivers and make sure your mobo chip set driver is up to date. I think you should be getting at least 30 fps on low. You meet the minimum specs for the game? What kind of hard drive do you have this could be your weak spot if your running a 5400rpm ide drive your transfer rates will be horrible. Try a ssd see if that help if it don't keep it for your new build... Or at least pick up a 7200rpm drive with 64mb cache should run you about 50 to 60 bucks on newegg for a 1tb.

I wanted to post this so that the devs could see what problems we are having thus making it easier to fix them so we can get the game sooner!!!! Here is a template that i made to help out. Plus the community can help if they have the same problems! If you think i need to add anything or take anything out let me know. What ever will make it easier for them to use this information! Just copy and paste you info into this thread with the problems you are having!!

I can also put everything on low disable everything and get the same fps maybe 3-5 fps more. Also please note I know this is a Alpha and that its ARMA 3 and the map is huge. Im not complaining the game is fun all hell and I will be a Arma costumer for life. Just trying to help out the devs.

I know there are thousands of people that play this game. I just want to know what is the most popular mod or game type you play. So i know what to download when i get the game. I play arma 1 and not that many severs anymore. I have never been on a sever with more the like 12-15 people on it. I would like to play on a sever with like 60 people on it if possible on this game. Thanks all hope to see you soon. Shadow
