Found out what it was: I had to download and move up the compat file in load order so it was loaded first. Then everything worked as intended. Thanks for your help.

Already did so. But nothing happens when pressing "End". Also tried in TAD MFD when set to SOI. No Mark point is created. I even hammered the "End" button ... - still no luck :(

I may sound dumb at this point but can someone please explain in more detail how I use that steerpoint system? It seems I can't get it to work. The documentation tells about a keybind "Create Steerpoint". I can't find that key on the key config screen. The closest thing would be "Store POI from SOI" which is the "End" key but it doesn't work for me. Even entered waypoints in the DAGR from outside the aircraft don't show up on the steerpoint page or the HUD. What am I doing wrong?

As I already wrote in this post, I'd like to know more about the ACE3 Lasing system. We already tested it and it works, but I cannot find any info about the laser codes. It is possible to change the code on the laser marker but it has no effect on the plane's dropping bombs. It works on any code. Also we have no idea how to change the codes in a plane or see what code is set. Any tutorials or info on this?

Is there already a comprehensive tutorial about laser guided bombing with ACE? It's been really quiet about it. Some time ago we ran a couple of tests but no laser locking could be accomplished. We will try this again soon, but it's just try&error. An explanation from the developers how it works would be very helpful ^^

I can confirm that. We tried some of them and they weren't always achievable. Sometimes the missed pilots (and the wreck) spawned deep inside the ground and could never be found. In the intel mission the intel was not collectable and so on ...

I'm not sure if it is me or abug but is the "attach object" option in the selfinteraction menu broken? I am missing the option to attach lightsticks entirely (yes they are in inventory).

May I politely ask about vehicle AI improvement progress as discussed here ? It would be a huge help for many people I guess. Also ASR_AI could become 'THE ONE' AI mod for every use.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: yes, debug was on. Rest of the settings were default.

Thanks for the code. We will adjust these colors for our "special" players ;) We found that the vanilla suppression effect is by far not good nor realistic. So we decided to stick with tpwcas_a3 because it has the better suppression (in our opinion). Also, it is adjustable, vanilla isn't. Tonight we played for about 5 hours without any noteworthy bug. I'll turn off ASR_AI3 for our session tomorrow. I'm going to report the results. I was told to tell you how much fun it was to play tonight. Our people had a very good time with your mission. We can't wait to see the final product :-) *thumbs up*

We can confirm extremely increased initialization time with AI mods running. We were testing on Altis island (unchanged pbo from package). Battleye and signature checks are on. For parameters, mods and starting line see enclosed RPT snippet. (I can provide full RPT if needed).

Droprate of intel is too high (every enemy dropped one suitcase) Two players couldn't respawn after their 5th death. After they disconnected and reconnected again it was working again. http://www.bigblueonedivision.de/images/ins3_alpha/respawn.jpg (138 kB) Is there a way to disable the annoying vanilla radio chatter? Please expand the garbage collector to dropped items in the base. People tend to litter the place. We also would like to be able to define layout, number and type of vehicles that spawn together with the MHQ by ourselves. Maybe you could add an option to recolor the grid tiles (something else than red-green) because of people with red-green color blindness. I'm not sure if this is another bug because the mission file was altered. We tried to use a fixed base. After initialization we ended up on the sea floor :-( EDIT: Tried with the unchanged pbo from the package. If random spawn of MHQ is disabled, you also end up in Davy Jones' locker.

@Robalo: Have you had the time to have a look at vehicle aiming? Do you see a chance for improvement?

Have you already tried the BW Mod?

We had some similar problem and solved it by deleting all ACE modules from the map in the editor and re-placing them again. It happened probably because the mission file was made with an older version of ACE and the latest update made it necessary to re-place the modules.

That's what i had in mind. So, still hoping :-)

Veeeeery nice Mod! Thanks for all your effort in doing this. My question is: will you also include boats to your mod? Here's what I have in mind: SOC-R, PBR or RIB Maybe bigger ships? I find the maritime aspect comes way too short in Arma 3 especially when you consider that the maps are mostly islands.

We're mostly playing PatrolOps 3.01 and the vehicles are spawned randomly along your travel path. We are playing NATO side and enemies are CSAT forces. The spawned vehicles consist mostly of Ifrit's (both HMG and GMG) as well as Marid's. Their turrets are the dangerous things. The thing I find unrealistic is that they hit the pilot or vital heli parts with deadly accuracy even when you fly by in low altitude and at high speeds. They are also very accurate over long distances. I'm not sure if this is an issue to report or if it's "just the AI".

Are there plans to make GEAR compatible with mods like ACE3 or RHS, if there is any need of?

Hello, your AI mod is quite a fun to play with. The enemies finally behave (and aim !) more like actual humans. But it seems, that changes as soon as they are in a vehicle. Then they turn on god mode. When I try to fly by in a helicopter, they almost instantly hit the pilot in the head or some major parts of the helo are badly damaged. Have you ever tried to fly ground support for ground troops and be shot down in the first seconds? I mean, yes, especially the Hummingbird is made of wet paper, but even when flying full speed in low altitudes, the AI always scores critical hits. Does ASR_AI affect vehicle AI aiming skills? If yes, how to tweak it down, so they do not hit every time?

Thanks a lot for the info. Eagerly looking forward to PO4 ;-) Btw. I did a manual update of VAS to v2.6. But now I seem to have messed up something. VAS itself is working, but the gear restrictions from "Patrol_Ops_3_Configuration.hpp" don't apply anymore. VAS is showing every bits and pieces of gear. How can I get the restrictions to work again?

Another (maybe stupid) question: what is to do if we want to spawn additional enemy air patrols (=Jets)? On our server there is already the SU-35 mod active and I entered the classname in the file "Patrol_Ops_3_Configuration.hpp" into the variable "PO3_preDefinedEnemyVehicles" at CSAT forces "Attack Planes". But neither the already existing UAV's nor the SU spawn. Enemy ambient air patrols is set on.

First thing's first: AWESOME WORK! We love it! But maybe I can suggest one more feature: Psycho's AIS Injury Script (Link) We played Patrol Ops some time where it is implemented and we'd like to see it in WASP Warfare too. Keep up the good work!

I cannot state enough how much fun PO3 is to us! Thank you a thousand times for creating an maintaining it, roy ! The groups we play with on our server are getting bigger every day. But this brought a lot of administrative work to the admins. Many of the players are fairly new to the game/mission and the admins need to explain most of the features again and again. And they only can refer to their own experience. I wondered if there is a collection of documentations for the features of your mission as well as for the added-in modules like VAS or IgiLoad (just to mention some)? This way we could provide some basic lecture for the new guys and better train the admins. It would be nice how to operate all the nice features without try and error ;-) Maybe we even missed some?
