Introducing the Community Radar: your main source of intel for Arma 3 community activity. Take a look inside to check out issue #01! Community Radar (COMRAD) #01

Just to remind you Arma 3 is a f#### awesome platform and all of the things that I have learned about programming in these last 2 years come from Arma SQF stuff and what you all share with me, guys. Thanks, folks.

H Squadron - 22 Special Air Service H Squadron is a Cold War themed MilSim community based on the British Special Air Service in the late 1970s - early 1980s. Aiming for a semi-realistic MilSim experience, the community will focus on the fictional H Squadron, deploying to conflicts, flashpoints and British foreign policy actions overseas, both fictional and based upon historical events. What we do: - Provide a short training phase, designed to emulate parts of SAS selection. This is mainly to ascertain the level of skill and ability of new members. - Conduct a mixed array of operations including: -- Deployment to ongoing British overseas operations -- Conducting domestic and foreign counter-terrorism operations -- Team Tasks (training and rapid overseas deployments) -- Training foreign militaries. - Approach taskings with the method of ‘basics done well’ using historic British Army doctrine and period equipment. - Research and interest into the SAS during the Cold War period. Requirements: - Age 18+ - Arma 3 - A short list of workshop mods DLCs: -- Mandatory - SOG Prairie Fire, Western Sahara -- Desirable - Global Mobilisation (Separate mod list available for those without Global Mobilisation). Desirable traits: Interest in Cold War history. Interest in Cold War period SAS operations and strategy. Squadron structure: - HQ Troop - Command and Control - 4-8 men - Air Troop - HALO, HAHO, Static Line - x16 men - Boat Troop - Maritime, Diving, Boats and Submersibles - x16 men - Mobility Troop - Motorised Patrols, Weapons, Logistics - x16 men - Mountain Troop - Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Mountain Warfare - x16 men - RAF and RN support assets. What to expect: Twice weekly sessions (Days TBC) Relaxed command structure. Encourage individual patrols to operate independently, and with creative strategy to overcome developing and changing situations, often where the odds are stacked against the squadron. No long training or probation period. Selection phase designed to ascertain the level of knowledge and skill of individuals. Which we can then add to that knowledge, to bring everyone to the same operational standard. If you are interested in what we do, please join our discord. We are hoping to run our first selection phase soon. Waiting for ample numbers to show interest before we start. We are in the early stages of setting up this unit, so if you're keen to have a say and be involved in running this community now would be the perfect opportunity to sign up! Discord Link

Hello Outlanders! You all know that the best way to stay in touch with the biggest news regarding the development is to follow our official channels, but how do you keep up with other players? Do you ask yourself "What is the best way to stay in touch with other Outlanders?" Great question! Here's a list with numerous Vigor focused communities scattered around the internet. There are quite a few you can choose from and believe me, there's a Vigor community out there for everyone. (If you find something missing on our list - make sure to let us know so we can add it) Reddit: r/vigorgame Discord: Vigor Facebook: Vigor - Official Xbox One Community ViGOR Xbox One CZ/SK (Czech/Slovak Only) Vigor Xbox one Fan Page Vigor Xbox One Duos Chat

Please please please bohemia you need to sort out being able to ban xbox players. It is sullying the experience for many people. Allowing the, although few, players who keep on trolling by Shooting out tires on supply trucks/destroying vehicles at spawn hindering match progress, and now, with free building, using up supply's at the start of the match too stop progress. Also using grenades to TK at spawn and then themselves respawning to avoid negative ranking to avoid a temp ban. Spamming proximity and radio with nonsense and racist comments, spaming text chat with racist comments. Please do something or at least update us on some progress to fix this issue. You will lose players otherwise and with the limited amount of people playing I don't think you can afford to lose many. Today I hopped on, as soon as I joined I noticed a players name and knew the match and matches thereafter would be filled with trolling and greifing. I knew that once that player would be temp banned eventually he would just return with on of his many alt accounts, of which I have captured video evidence of from a previous match. The guy then when on an alt and did the same stuff to the opposing side. The same game there were at least three people actively tolling and greifing make gameplay pretty much impossible. Fix it it.

Hi all, My name is Jon and I am from an Arma 3/Squad/Post-Scriptum unit called 7th Cavalry Gaming - https://7cav.us . In October we will be running a fundraising challenge with other milsim units to raise funds for a charity called https://stackup.org . StackUp.Org is a US based charity that has several programs: 1. Send games and gaming equipment to deployed troops of NATO countries for use in their downtime. 2. They take deserving veterans on once in a lifetime trips to conferences such as E3, ComiCon and others. 3. They have volunteer support groups, primarily in the US, which serve as focal points for support and volunteer work. 4. They have a 24/7/365 crisis counselling service they offer via their discord which is available to anyone that is an adult. Essentially, they believe that gaming can have a positive impact on mental health. Their motto is Veterans are our Mission. Gaming is our Passion. We at the 7th Cavalry are a unit that has been in existence since 2002. We have over 300 active members. The fundraising challenge is a way for us to extend awareness of StackUp.Org to the community, to raise more funds overall for the charity and to motivate our members to raise more money. The idea is that each unit would pledge a minimum of $1,000 USD to the challenge, or $20 per active members, whichever is more. So our team goal would be roughly $6,000 USD. My personal goal is to find enough units to pledge a total of $50,000 USD to the campaign. We will collect pledges from our members starting 11 SEP 18 and ending 11 OCT 18. From 11 OCT 18 until 11 NOV 18 teams and team members will make their donations using the Tiltify site which tracks donations and teams and forwards the donations to the charity. On 10 NOV 18 at 11am eastern, our unit will run a 24 hours of gaming event that will run until 11am eastern on 11 NOV 18. This will signal the end of the fundraising challenge. If you are interested in participating or have questions, please contact me directly via the following methods: Read more: https://7cav.us/stackup Email: 7cavtraining@gmail.com Discord:Argus.J https://discord.gg/gfhnJAy Thanks!

Since the update where the Official and Community servers were put into separate tabs, player count on Community servers has dropped dramatically. Many Xbox players I’ve spoken to have said they did not even realize there were now separate tabs, so they’ve only been playing on Official servers since. With all due respect, people are no longer going to keep playing this for official 32 player Conflict servers. If you don’t highlight Community servers with modded content, the game will absolutely continue to die. I have been trying to run a Community server for a couple of months. At first, before the browser tabs were separated, my server would fill up every night. Now, with the tabs separated, I can sit on my server all day and don’t get a single organic player joining. This is not due to overall lower player base however, they are just simply all going to a few Official Conflict servers instead now. RECOMBINE THE TABS, make it as little work as possible to find Community servers. WE (people running Community servers) are the ONLY people trying to help you guys get more of a player base in this game. If you don’t help us, we can no longer help you.

Hi community, the first post after being registrated for 5 years. Why? I was a silent reader for years and forgot that I was registrated 😉 But now to my topic on hand. For the whole history of the Arma Franchise there is only one really great singleplayer campaign, Cold War Crisis. Remnants of War is also fantastic with a great storytelling (maybe even better than Cold War Crisis), but really short. All the other Campaigns were okay to solid, but none was as fantastic as Cold War Crisis and Remnants of War. My idea is that we combine the knowledge of everyone willing to contribute into one team to create a fantastic, long and immersive campaign of which the whole Arma-Community could be proud. Why should one modder do every job in campaign creation when it isn´t only much more efficient to do only what you´re good at, but also to shorten development time and increase the quality of the finished product? I have seen some really good community made missions, so the talent is clearly there. Sadly I have also seen over the years, that popular topics (Operation Neptune Spear, Operation Gothic Serpent, Operation Overlord) are done many times and there is little to no difference between the versions, that is collectively viewed just wasted time, in which a different scenario could have been created. In my imagination everybody could help. You have no idea of the editor but could write a great story or a believeable and deep biography of a character? Great, that is needed! You speak two or more languages? Great, a localizer is found. You´re an editor nerd who didn´t have a good story in mind? Great, also needed! You can´t help in editing but you would give your voice for a character? Great, also needed! You have features or scenarios in mind that you want to see in the Campaign? Great, ideas are welcome as well. You could help solving editing problems? Also needed! You want to help test the finished campaign and iron out bugs? Also needed. Maybe we could also create needed mods if there is something missing. Yes I know that it is very broad and nothing specific, but I wanted to write this to you all to read if there is interest on such a community campaign. Also I imagine of the establishment of easy and fast help with your own problems in editing in a way that is both convenient and efficient, but by now I have no idea how that could be done. Maybe there is a pool of experts for every problem area which you could send your missions and they fix the problem for you in exchange for your expertise on their problems. If you have questions or an opinion on the topic feel free to communicate that, I would be happy if I could read your opinions. Greetings

Basically, it's very hard to find servers to play on and be able to get yourself some proper teammates. So, are there any communities around organizing Argo games and such? Official Discord server has something like ~10 people on it. I'm from EU but even NA would work out for me in the end. If there ain't any - we should really start up some community around this game in order to be able to be able to organize some proper matches.

If you are looking for a good feeling server, please don't hesitate to configure mods and join the [TCF] wasteland server on A3. Underrated gameplay with no limits and full tactics and combat freedom with missions, loot crates, a lot of vehicles and gear.

Greetings from MilitaryGamers! This is an official recruitment post for MilitaryGamers.com, the world's premier multi-platform, multi-game online community for US military service members. We're always looking for men and women to join our ranks who have either served in the past, or who are still presently serving, in any branch of the United States Armed Forces. If you would like to learn more about our community, or if you would like to register an account and become a member, please head over to our website at www.MilitaryGamers.com. All recruitment is handled via our website. Once you've registered an account and have become a member, you will find information on our forums instructing you on how to join us in game and on Discord. About MilitaryGamers.com: Our members hail from every branch of the US military, nearly every occupational specialty, all rates and ranks, from E-1 through O-6, and from duty stations and their homes the world over. We have had a game branch (cabal, clan, corporation, fleet, guild, organization, society, squadron, unit, etc.) in nearly every major game title since 2007, where we have established a solid, respected name for ourselves. With thousands of members spread across countless games, we think you'll find that we're the last gaming community you'll ever need to join! Things You Will Find in the Military Gamers Community: Camaraderie, esprit de corps, professionalism, a relaxed, casual atmosphere, and most importantly, folks who "get it".

If that's what you're looking for, please look elsewhere. We do not simulate a military environment or organization. We don't have to. We've all "been there, done that". You won't find any phony rank structures or titles being worn by people who haven't earned the right to be addressed as such. We do organize our community staff, and occasionally some game branches using generic military titles, such as "MG CO", "MG XO", "MG Officer", "MG NCO", etc., because it is familiar to us and identifies who's running what within the community. These titles, however, do not magically bestow anyone with the right to expect anyone else to treat them as anything but an equal. We have members from all walks of life, all branches of the service, and of all rates, ranks, statuses, and vocations, and when they cross our doorstep, everyone is treated with equal courtesy and respect.

Dear community and dev's, after a month of playing I finally have to give you my impressions. These impressions are only for the PS4, but apparently the problems are similar. Brodalen Bridges is an unplayable map, I get a CE every 2-3 games and meanwhile I get neither crowns nor loot again. How can it be that still no bugfix came? In general, how can this game produce so many CE and it sometimes even goes so far that my console crashes? It's just outrageous how this game treats the community. I have heard from many that their concerns to the dev team are simply ignored. I don't want to completely badmouth the game, it has a lot of potential. I just think that the wrong developers got this game. If it goes on like this this game will be the same failure as DayZ was before. What needs to change: 1. bugfix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to experience 1 day without CE 2. remove or patch Brodalen bridges 3. adjust the crown/boost balance 4. a real support for the community 5. latency matchmaking 6. report system for hackers/team killers/etc. 7. adjust Anniken loot (container and safe loot) 8. adjust daily mission ( 3 missions for 1h playtime, then 24h nothing more) 9. adjust daily mission loot, get the same stuff from firefight box in masses 10. forum for playstation discussion Dear Dev-Team please don't be money vultures and finally be there for your community.

Script Example (which I use in my mission): [ Truck, "<t color='#58D68D'>Enganchar UH60</t>", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_loaddevice_ca.paa", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_loaddevice_ca.paa", "(_this distance _target < 3) && (Truck_Bar distance Heli_1 < 10)", "(_Caller distance _target < 3) && (Truck_Bar distance Heli_1 < 10)", {}, {}, { null = ["Scripts\Interacciones\Remolcador\Soltar_Heli_1.sqf","BIS_fnc_execVM",false,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; [Truck,_actionId] call BIS_fnc_holdActionRemove; }, {}, [], 5, 6, true, false ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, Truck]; ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I put this Script in my Init.sqf file, one appears every time a player joins my dedicated server. Is there a way to fix that? the problem is where do I put my script? or is it a typical Arma 3 problem?

Hi, BI Dev team I'm Phu Le from aevn gaming community, one of the most active (if not the only) and biggest Arma community in Vietnam. Recently our community and the game have attracted the attention of many Vietnamese gamers. Recruiting people that willing to play in such disciplines and hard environment, but there is also a problem that many Vietnamese gamers is not good at English. This creates a GAP for the newcomer that enjoys and interest in the Military simulation genre. To solve this problem our community goes up with the idea that we will make localization for Vietnamese. With some of us already have military experience, we really hope that we can create the localization for Vietnamese player. We hope that we can obtain a guideline and permission pls, contact our community via this topic or our email AEVN Head of Development Phu Le: igihai@gmail.com AEVN Human resource and Public affair: lynhan4530@gmail.com

From the leaders of 10SOC/10SFG and the 75th Rangers. Lead by real military veterans! The North American Mil-Sim Community is officially opening recruiting to fill our growing Arma 3 Community. NAMC(North American Mil-Sim Community) is a community for Mil-Sim operations style game play. Our current Area of Operation (AO) is Arma III operations, with plans to expand and reach out to other AO's after we establish a strategic presence in our current AO. Unlike other Mil-Sim experiences, we are not a "unit". We are a Mil-Sim Community. That means, mandatory training, mandatory meetings, attendance requirements etc are not part of the NAMC. What you will find, is tactical game play and Mil-Sim Role-playing, while in game. Founded in September of 2019, NAMC sets off to create an "operation first" Mil-sim gaming experience. Meaning, all of our training, tactics, communication, organization and structure is designed to accomplish the operation first. Currently, the NAMC is lead by Benality (former XO of 10SOC) and Jones.O. They bring real military experience to the community, which helps with creating events that are as true to real life scenarios as possible. FAQ Q: Is this the right place for me? If you enjoy real Mil-Sim role-playing while in game without all the extra "work" that comes with a Mil-Sim unit, you are in the right place. NAMC does not have mandatory attendance to any event or any training. We organize and people elect to join based on their schedule. The only hard rule, is that while in game, you operate as though you are a member of a modern Military squad.(edited) Q: So, no mandatory training, but what if I am new to Mi-lSim style game play? Although, we will not have any required training, we will have training events available. They will be scheduled in advance and allow plenty of opportunity to attend of you wish. Some training will include: Machine Gunner, Medical, Pilot , Squad Leader Course Q: What about ranks? How do you decide who the Squad leader is on any given mission? We don't feel this should be something that an organization can really control. Obviously, we want squad leaders that know how to play well and know how to lead while in game. We will organize the squads, and the squads will determine who is the squad leader. Obviously, if you have special training such as the Squad Leader course, you should have a higher consideration. We reserve the right to remove a squad leader if there is obvious reasons to do so. We will not remove someone simply because they hurt your feelings, unless it was out of line, or breaks any of our standing rules. Q: What about attendance? I can probably only play once in a while. We are specifically created for the busy gamer. Attendance is NOT required. Obviously, in order for you and everyone else to have a positive experience, we ask that you make as many events as possible. 1 event a week is considered normal activity. 2-3 events is considered highly active. We value all levels of activity as this creates a more immersive game play. Bottom line, play when you can, for as long as you can. Just remember our goal is to provide immersive Mil-Sim style game play.
