Does my boy @ʝ17 make a return in the bringing back old straya package? Surely!

17/05/17 Changes: Updated to 1.70! Added new Jets! The Gryphon, Black Wasp, Shikra and Buzzard can spawn as the friendly AA jet. The Gryphon, Shikra, Neophron and Buzzard can spawn as the enemy CAS/AA jet. Added UCAV Sentinel Players with the DLC will have the UCAV spawn instead of the Greyhawks. Added parachute script by @InfamousNova. If above 40 metres, an option to deploy parachute will appear in your scroll wheel. A parachute does not need to be equipped to use this. Added Camo texture for Black Wasp to Donator menu. Replaced ATGMs on Wipeout and Neophron with GBUs (subject to change). Removed laser designator from CAS jets. Changed some enemy and friendly jet skins. Adjusted enemy CAS/AA loadouts Friendly AA jet now spawns every 8 minutes and chooses randomly between the jets mentioned above. Fixed custom Wipeout skin not applying on spawn. Modified Staff spectator menu. Updated ingame rules pages to be the same as the ones on the forums. Updated staff list. Highly recommended that you read this if you intend on flying anything: https://dev.arma3.com/post/oprep-sensor-overhaul If you notice any bugs or issues with the new update or have any suggestions, feel free to send me a message or make a forum post Known issues/to-do: Radar is enabled regardless of whether the FOB is activated or not. Notes: Range finding is now bound to the '\' key. This is also the salute key (thanks bohemia). Make sure to change either the salute binding or the Lase Range binding under Weapons. Currently the QS Mag Repack binding blocks the radar on/off binding.

Just another day in Altis Life

ez fix @Farensik.

Lads, As we all know I've been in the commissioners office this past week. Working on the cop force is my number one goal. We have started to put together SRT team again and our air units (Polair). Over the next week we will start to run drills and get us all working as a team for fed and the big raids. I have noted a few things that will be changing and I miss the good old days. So fuck it lets bring back the old days... What am I changing to bring back old straya? Big guns shops... I have gone around asking street pricing of current big guns so yes they will still be expensive. It wont be open 24/7 tho aiming for a population cap before u can open it. Moving a bank out of Sydney Moving court out as it was chaos the other night Jets Shop Cop force training Events (by myself I will do 1 a week) Staff I will be spending some time retraining the staff. There will be a set day that we go over player interaction. How to use there guide correctly as its a guide and more as a correct judgement call. This will have less people to the help desk over small issue. Over the next month I will be relooking suggestions to see if it will all fit in... I am also looking for some suggestions on events and if your dedicated to running them. Cheers LuckyB33f

YO WHAT IS UP FARENSIK ONCE AGAIN IS COMPLANING ON THE FORUMNS! why is no distance shown on rangefinders.

Looks like the Chinese one

Hey all, For those who dont know me, my name is KennyBoo. I've been apart of this amazing community for about a year or so now. I have been inactive for the past few months due to personal reasons, but have missed coming on SG altis life and I have decided to come back. Frankly, SG Altis life has created many beautiful memories for me (back in the AInc, PNX and SP days, and ofc in cop as well). Yes people come and go, things change, but I would only hope that the change will bring in happiness, camaraderie, create more memories for members old and new, people improving on roleplay and having a community that wishes to move forward together. Yea sure, that will be some trolls here and there, but if the standard of the community is one that shows kindness, selfessness, willingess to help others and a sense of welcome to newer players, i am sure that trolls will eventually learn that their actions are not acceptable here and might even choose to be apart of this community. It saddens me however, to see the server in its current state. RDMs, VDMs, Trolling are through the roof. I try my best as a cop to see past that and try to roleplay to the few who want to, to then only get rdmed, vdmed and smartasses telling me how to do my 'job'. It frustrates me how there is a negative stigma on cops being mean or being d**ks, so I try my best to be as nice as possible while still upholding the law within the server. Because lets be honest, I'm not a real cop, I'm not an admin, I uphold the 'law' merely for the sake of roleplay. If you start pissing on my car, 'spitting' at me just to get a laugh WITH me, I'll join in. But if you do all those out of spite merely because I am a cop on the server, it really disgusts me. We're all here to have fun. However I feel that some people come on to have fun on their own. They couldn't care less on how their actions might impact others. What happened to the StrayaGaming that I knew that everyone had fun with one another? That after each gang fight there would be a 'gg wp' instead of 'helpdesk', older players helping and showing the newcomers around? C'mon straya, I know that in the past few months that I have been away, things have happened, and we might not be in the best of states currently. But lets pick up our game, lets come on to enjoy the game with EACH OTHER instead, lets bring back the roleplay to the server. I am sure if everyone does their part, we will all reap the benefits of it. So C'mon Straya, #MakeAltisGreatAgain

So after having a play with the Dynamic Loadouts, as disappointing as it is we cant just overload the CAS with GBUs im going to put my support behind differentiating the Wipeout and Neo by making the Wipeout the Bomb orientated CAS and the Neo the Rocket CAS, i already have a interesting (and perfectly balanced) loadout for it: Sahr-3, Tratnyr HE x2, Tratnyr AP x2, Skyfires x2, 2x LOM 250G: this gives it 2 Rockets per trigger pull for the Tratnyrs and the Skyfires let you let off a small rocket burst without the downtime of the Tratnyrs for better area saturation and accuracy

Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are basically no fly zones, unless your landing. Because if you troll back in the day the mods just kicked you off. You fly over the area once with a jet and boom you get a warning over global channel. However if they are add back in maybe we should look at adding Titan AAs back in for the highest levels in the cop force - @LuckyB33f - so that the cops have something to use against the Jets

Keep up the good work.

I simply do not understand even the most basic logic around this "issue" First of all these are my opinions only, If you want to form a large or winning team, there are 2 teams to for you to choose from. We as SG Staff create a map based on what is best for the majority of the player base and community generally. Not specific teams or people There are probably lots of things Agent Rev has developed for the map but its up to the SG Staff to filter out what we want and don't want. The fact that you choose to restrict yourselves to a side that is at a size disadvantage is a personal problem If you genuinely want to integrate into the community and server, do not put yourselves in the position of being ostracized by saying all the other teams a crap and we demand the server be managed "this way" just to satisfy your own "teams" wishes.

Pfft... Brodiee is a dreamer... If you want your rank back earn it... cops force is improving and they can getting ranked up in doing so...

Oh good ill be on ts awaiting my rank xx

They have been improving understanding my standards is the first half of the battle... knowing there left and right of arc, what they can and can't do is the most important thing to start... we will start doing civ detaining drills tickets and so on... gearing up SRT for when things start to go in motion is important...

Moved to Opening Post @Fitz @InfamousNova what do you think?

Kind of defeats the purpose of stealth/sniping/stealth aircraft. Now that 3d spotting is gone why should this be implemented? Its already difficult enough playing as 5man indis vs the entirety of opfor. Sniping from sub 500m, get a kill bam they know a general locatiom. Close combat kill someone with a slient gun bam general location revealed. Good feature on exile but not so good on wasteland.

Staff Complaints/Praises If you wish to complain or praise a staff member please fill out this form, all replies are confidential and are only seen by myself and discussed with the staff member in question. The reason why I have revamped this system is because people used to always complain about staff and never praise them, they are human to and naturally want praise, if you feel they deserve it don't be shy, put a form in. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1wNU89ZuUlQSuMM69IzMLc08T2Q5YRy9KUE5LWnoUHZE/edit Regards, Envy

I'm not afraid to fight you over this. Welcome to Straya, you can have all the pineapples on pizza you want here.
