Would be nice to get a realistic personnel recovery chute for the ejection seat instead of the square special ops parachute. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=889667439

The term DROP TANK is a misrepresentation in today's military aviation environment. It leads the reader to believe that it is disposable but it's not. Go to war and drop your tanks every mission, and you'll soon run out of range and endurance. They are external fuel tanks that are "Droppable" in an emergency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fuel_tanks

It looks like a shadow because the sun is contrast to the point of view opposite of the tail-end of the fuel tank. The way fuel tanks are constructed, the tapered terminal end of the tank has to have riveted support to contain various pressure due to gas and liquid laws and the affects of temperature and altitude. In this case, the drop tank just has a concave tail structure and is shadowed...or at least that's how I see it. Unfortunately when you google something about aircraft these days, you mostly get simulation or remote controlled model links...real aircraft are becoming an extinct species.

Let me know where I might help!

I had hoped that Stratis and Altis would have been on the same map and you could fly cross-country flight from one to the other...I think they are just under 40 km apart in real world. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lemnos/@39.7514197,24.960154,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x14af9308e2419f95:0xd91859654cb35ebd!8m2!3d39.9198413!4d25.141484

I think it's a "Question Generator" for sure.

The hog also got it's name because of the animal's tenacity and feral nature!

Greetings BohemiaBeck, any timeline on when the Beta is going to 1.0 release candidate? AV8R

I too had this issue with my own unit patch and on our own server...it turned out to be the Plat Carrier or Vest I was wearing and it covered up the patch. The Emblem still showed on vehicles and aircraft so it was the clothing in our case. Cheers,

You have to be logged as well.

The Unit Is Taken.

When I join another server, the Patch on shoulder and emblem on vehicle works fine I noticed that the Patch on the shoulder and on the vehicle works fine, but it no longer shows up on the player name from the map list view. Not sure if it was changed.

Greetings Sir Beck...thanks for the feedback...you guys are doing a superb job with the Units Beta and I truly appreciate having this tool! BIS Feedback/Recommendation...make the unit emblem or patch page have two graphic spots. One for a colorful unit logo on the UNITS page, and a second one for a subdued patch that is not so bright in game...i.e., on the shoulder or vehicle. The second slot could be directed to the Squad XML position while the other main photo could be on the units page only. The current system forces us to choose one or the other. Samples: Hi Vis and Low Vis...

Did you fix it? Make sure it's PNG format and 400x400PXL under 300KB. You may have to set it up as JPEG first, format it, then safe as PNG file...I had the same problem till I did that. AV8R

Has anyone requested you expand the Ranks section to add all these Enlisted and Officer Ranks to the scale? Or do something close to this. ENLISTED: - Recruit (No Strips) - Private (1 Chevron) - Private First Class (2 Chevrons) - Corporal (2 below, 1 up) - Sergeant (3 below, 1 up) - Staff Sergeant (3 below, 2 up) - Master Sergeant (3 below, 3 up) - First Sergeant (Same as MSgt but with Diamond in Middle) Sergeant Major (Same as MSgt but with Star in the Middle) OFFICER: Second Lieutenant (Single Gold Bar) First Lieutenant (Single Silver Bar) Captain (Double Silver Bars) Major (Gold Leaf) Lieutenant Colonel (Silver Leaf) Colonel (Eagle) Brigadier General (1 Silver Star) Major General (2 Silver Stars in a row) Lieutenant General (3 Silver Stars in a row) General (4 silver stars in a row) Thank you for your consideration! AV8R

[solved] Thank you Kylania and Col Penny for the guidance on this...works like magic! I haven't read every entry in this Forum, but I have checked all the options in the Unit Editing...so question, is there a way to use ArmA 3 Units to force our Squad XML banner to display in game??? AV8R ArmA Air Command [=AAC=]

Hey there, just a quick recommendation for the DEVs as this problem seems to be recurrent since the Alpha release" When applying upgrades, please carefully consider changing CLASS names or script for things. As a recent example, the 3rd (Third Person) regulator in ArmA 3 was changed and many missions developed in the community used the previous designation and were broken because of the change from 3rd to "third" being spelled out. We realize that some things are changed due to necessity, but please be considerate when applying new changes. Thanks, "Semper Paratus"

Agreed, perhaps the challenge will come when the community starts Modding, Adapting Missions like Wasteland and Domination, and trying to enrich every detail in the graphics. I assume the DEVs have top-of-the-line, Commercial Grade platforms to create this stuff...I just hope someone with an average 3.6 - 4.2 CPU and 970/980 equivalent card can make this enjoyable! AV8R

As a baseline estimate, what does everyone recommend as minimum system requirements for A3-APEX?? AV8R Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.6 GHz, 16.0 GB RAM @ 1600 MHz, and GTX-980 FTW

I'm sure the outcome is well worth the wait...you guys do awesome work! Cheers, AV8R

There's nothing wrong with that! ---------- Post added at 15:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:28 ---------- Gusss19, I too am trying to get this Achievement...and have been learning much more about the editor due to this Achievement. Did your Achievement eventually come through? I had a similar bug doing the "Hip Shooter" achievement...did it many times in Marksman DLC Purple #3 and was about to write it off as bugged...and it popped up. After Relentless Creator, I'll have 5 or 6 more to complete...the really hard ones for time trials and firing drills! Check out my Workshop Base Deployment Mission posted under my Steam Name: AV8R and you'll see an example of a Real-World Deployment Configuration. I have a few YouTube videos to go with them and you can link to them via the one video posted in the workshop. Cheers, AV8R MSgt Don Welch, USAF (Retired)

Hey TeTeT, missed you in TS3 the other night due to schedules. I would still like to get with you online to chat about the Nimitz upgrade. For starts, can you move the skid-marks closer together and move them down to the wire field...where they are currently, they look like an huge truck landed short. AV8R
