The mils on that binocular seem wrong. I checked the manual: 1 on the scale = 10 mils, the same as the standard BI binocular. However, 10 mils on the stock bino is twice the size of the DLC, so estimation is completely off with those. Is my interpretation correct, or am I misunderstanding something? source M19 manual: https://books.google.at/books?id=cEgYAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&hl=de&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

MONTAGNARDS ARE RECRUITING SQUAD NAME - SCU-MONTAGNARDS LOCATION - NORTH AMERICA GAMEMODE PREFERENCE - COOP, PVP, PVE, PVPVE CONTACT EMAIL: montagnards@yahoo.com WEBSITE: https://units.arma3.com/unit/montagnards LANGUAGE - ENGLISH WHO WE ARE We are the Montagnards, an ARMA III focused group formed with the intent of recognizing and honoring the heroic actions of the Montagnard people and other indigenous peoples of the Vietnamese Highlands and their contributions to the Vietnam War. The name "Montagnard" comes from the French language and translates into "Mountain People" and covers a wide range of separate indigenous tribes whom have inhabited the highlands of south central Vietnam. The Montagnard people have inhabited the southeastern Vietnamese highlands since the BC times and predate the Vietnamese people by over 1500 years. WHAT WE DO In ARMA, we utilize historic tactics and loadouts used by members of MACV-SOG, 5th SFG, and their Montagnard companions. Long range reconnaissance, destruction of enemy assets, HVT kill or capture missions, and downed pilot/POW rescue are what we train for and excel at. Since we are primarily a light, mobile recon force, we put emphasis on moving quickly and silently through the virtual battlefields of any server we're on. Make no mistake into thinking we cannot fight however as we make sure to utilize high violence of action and sheer volume of fire when the time calls for it. While ARMA III Prairie Fire is our main focus, we are not an exclusive Prairie Fire group. We also cater to a wide assortment of custom missions covering a wide range of scenarios, time periods, and mission objectives. We have run all types of custom missions from 1940's Spearhead focused amphibious assaults, 70's Rhodesian Bush War, 00's Iraq and Afghan GWOT missions, 2020's proxy war conflicts, and everything in between. Outside of ARMA, we also aim to spread awareness of the Recon Teams of MACV-SOG and the 5th SFG and Montagnard members attached to them. We do this by sharing photos, podcasts, audiobooks, videos, and written accounts of surviving members. WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY If you are looking for a unit that puts a strong emphasis on real life tactics and dedicates time to learning about and spreading the heroic deeds of the seldom remembered heroes behind the scenes, we are the place to go.

I know the Tunnel Entrance module only works for Cam Lao but was wondering how to use the different tunnel props and how to place them and enter them?

Hey guys. I have a thought about fine tuning the difficulty of the AI against my group of players as the mission maker and zeus. What I want to translate is the difficulty of AI in SOG Prairie Fire into a non-SOG Prairie Fire setting. I have noticed that different dlcs and mods has different difficulties with different AI. In my experience, Global Mobilization has insanely high accuracy, while SOG Prairie Fire the enemy has very low accuracy. No doubt the dlc or mod makers tune this, in Prairie Fire case, to play on the idea of being outnumbered 1 to 100 in a bullet hell where shots fly all over the place. Makes sense. Really cool. Been trying for some time to translate that sort of difficulty and settings in the AI to other mods and settings, but not been able to. I have tried to adjust both the normal game settings, and the AI mod (VCOM) that I use. I have tried the very lowest of values, but still they are a lot more accurate than the AI in SOG Prairie Fire. Basically, I want that bullet hell with shots flying all over the place in other content, but I am not able to replicate what the AI is doing in SOG Prairie Fire difficulty so far. Anyone can help here it would be very appreciated!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2520244300 SOG Prarie Fire cDLC mission, SP focused and also playable in COOP up to 8 players. Properly set up so all tasks and scripted radio chatter works for all players in coop. Rescue downed pilots, search villages for evidence of hostile intent, fight off Viet Cong. Prairie fire's revive system enabled even for SP. Approximately 1 hour playtime. "You are a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) unit squad leader stationed at FSB Quan Loi. Your unit's overall mission in the Area of Operations is to stand by for any downed aircraft, stranded vehicle or missing soldier who needs their fat pulled out of the fire. You go out on no other missions, however the missions you get are both sudden and urgent. Every call is an emergency for the poor souls you are coming to the rescue of. You are their Guardian Angels."

I am aware that BIS_fnc_endMission exists and that there's a good level of parameters to customize the ending; however I am wondering if there is a way to change the font itself and remove the glitch overlay. Since it's vietnam era. I'm trying to keep the tone as much as possible, so the possibility of inputting a typewriter type font is the favored outcome.. I assume that it might require a call BIS_fnc_dynamicText function, but my understanding there is only a limited amount of in engine texts that I would be able to use. I'm also suspecting that I might need to create a transparent image layer, but I haven't figured out how to work that in. I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas that could solve this issue.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856874816 November, 1969. A 5-man SASR patrol is inserted into the fortified May Tao mountains to gather intel ahead of a full-scale operation by 6RAR/NZ. Put your mastery of jungle warfare to the test. FEATURES A single player (co-op friendly up to 5 players) scenario designed to match the quality of the S.O.G. Prairie Fire co-op campaign! Over a dozen detailed random sites, random patrols, VC tunnels, and more random elements for higher replayability - you will not experience everything this scenario has to offer in a single, or even two playthroughs! Thousands of hand-placed props and set pieces you can only experience in this scenario for maximum immersion - from a thrilling helicopter insertion sequence to a dangerous emergency extraction! Range of day/night play scenarios supported at your patrol's "laager" (the SASR equivalent of the SOG remain overnight site or RON), creep around at night or patrol by day! Compatible with SOG AI (recommended for even deeper single player immersion), or optional AI revive script and player always leads scripts! Dynamic Simulation and Show/Hide used for optimized CPU-friendly performance! AUTHOR'S NOTES This is my fifth release for the S.O.G. Prairie Fire CDLC and the first since the jaw-dropping 1.2 update that added ANZAC and SASR units and equipment (among a host of others). This scenario was created in collaboration with Johnnyboy, author of the excellent SOG AI addon that offers an improved experience for single player. INTENDED FOR SINGLEPLAYER, should work in co-op for up to 5, NOT INTENDED FOR PUBLIC SERVER Although I have a lot of learning to do, elements in this scenario are inspired and informed by historical sources related to the ANZACs and SASR/NZSAS in Vietnam, including books, film/documentary, internet articles, and historical insights graciously provided by members of the SOG PF discord's history channel. This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real people, units, or events is purely coincidental. Some elements in this scenario are entirely fabricated and are intended purely for entertainment purposes. The author and this mission is not affiliated with Savage Game Design. This is a beta release, some bugs may exist. Also, it's Arma, so there are bound to be things that will affect your playthrough. Reloading the mission can solve some issues. Please let me know if you run into any game-breaking bugs. NOT RESPONSIBLE for any game-breaking bugs or issues playing with any addons in addition to the required ones listed here and I can't be held responsible if things don't work because of another modder's addon. I'm interested to hear about your playthrough! If you enjoyed playing, please leave a comment, give a thumbs-up, or add it to your faves! KNOWN ISSUES The intro sequence featuring helicopter insertion is not entirely stable - most frequent issues are either the helicopter rotates to obstruct your shot (for SP, just switch units), and the helicopter takes fire, pulls up and flys over the insertion LZ and takes a long time to insert. Sorry about these issues, try restarting or just be patient as the helicopter should eventually insert your patrol. There are sometimes issues where the units will speak in an American or other accent and it breaks immersion - sorry about this as well, but it's due to the artful but different way Australian/NZ accents are included in the CDLC. Some issues with switching units while in the laager and the action not carrying over - the actions are always removed when the full team exits the immediate area of the laager and the group leader (or switchable unit you have selected in running the player always group leader script) will get the action. Can't figure out how to complete the primary objectives - read the damn briefing and refer to the attachments included in the briefing for more details!

Hello! I would like to play the S.O.G Prairie Fire coop campaign together with my friends on our dedicated server and not on public servers or a self-hosted game. With the Apex coop campaign you only have to enter the missions in the server.cfg. Here is an example: class Missions { class TestMission01 { template = MP_Marksmen_01.Altis; difficulty = "veteran"; class Params {}; }; class TestMission02 { template = MP_End_Game_01.Altis; difficulty = "veteran"; class Params {}; }; class TestMission03 { template = MP_End_Game_02.Altis; difficulty = "veteran"; class Params {}; }; class TestMission04 { template = MP_End_Game_03.Altis; difficulty = "veteran"; class Params {}; }; }; another example: class MPMissions { class Apex { briefingName = $STR_A3_CoopCampaignName; class EXP_m01 { briefingName = $STR_A3_exp_m01_missionname; directory = "a3\missions_f_exp\campaign\missions\exp_m01.tanoa"; }; class EXP_m02 { briefingName = $STR_A3_exp_m02_missionname; directory = "a3\missions_f_exp\campaign\missions\exp_m02.tanoa"; }; class EXP_m03 { briefingName = $STR_A3_exp_m03_missionname; directory = "a3\missions_f_exp\campaign\missions\exp_m03.tanoa"; }; }; }; But how do I do it now with the S.O.G missions? Can someone send me a template for the server.cfg? I am looking forward to help!
