@Lotza Before I say anything, I just want to explain what the checkpoint should do. It is a place for police to stop and search people and vehicles for any illegal contraband/weapons/items before they enter the city limits, and refuse entry to those who do not consent to a search. The city limits. From someone who has tried and tried to operate the checkpoint, failing almost every time, i can tell you why It isn't used. It is attacked by rebels every time. You'd expect we should be able to defend ourselves and continue operation, but there are 2 limiting factors with the location of Checkpoint 1 (I will be drawing some comparisons from other servers here). 1 - Design. Checkpoint 1 has very low walls and is located practically in a valley. You can see into the checkpoint from hills on all sides that are elevated up to 1.5k from over 2 kilometers away, if someone is sniping you with a suppressed weapon, it is almost impossible to determine the location of the shooter. 2 - Location. I understand this is the main point for this thread, but I'll touch on it anyways. The goal of a checkpoint is to stop rebel contraband from getting into the City limits, it makes absolutely no sense for the checkpoint not to hug the edge of the city limits. As is, checkpoint 1 is located HERE (The bend at 059148) As you can see via the topographic map, the checkpoint is surrounded ENTIRELY by large hills. Also, the city limits end Here. That leaves a gap of about 1k for rebels to just go through (if they snake behind the hills) I know people will say "But nclem they can just come from Neri/enter the city limits from the east". I have only maybe once or twice in my entire time playing cop seen people go through that route, as it is simply too inconvenient, + the main highway is the well, highway of the map. Conclusion - it makes no sense for the checkpoint to not sit against the city limits, and if it's not going to be moved at least consider a redesign with higher walls. While we're on the topic, it would make sense to introduce a smaller checkpoint (can be manned by 2-3 officers) at the intersection on Kavala loop, east of medical air HQ and south of copper mine (Should be able to reference from above screenshot), so that anyone coming from Gun Store/South east is also searched. This gives full coverage of the city limits.

The current police checkpoint 1 is outside city limits and is therefore never actually manned by police. It is a cop asset that is not used by the cops and is a central place for crime outside Sydney limits. I believe and many others probably agree that police checkpoint 1 should be moved into city limits or city limits should be extended to police checkpoint 1 so that it becomes useful again.

I'll change it so you can only take controls if above a certain altitude

Sergeant Promotion Application Note: By placing this application you are not in-titled to Sergeant and can be denied as well as issued a non-apply period of no less than 1 week. Do not bother anyone about you application, if you do it will be hidden. Name: AlexJ Callsign: K18W Rank: Senior Constable Training Completed By: Fusionable Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) - I think I deserve this promotion because I have been a good role model for other officers and always try to help out the lower ranks and show them how to play as an officer and how to roleplay. I don't always take CO but when I do take CO I try to keep the coms good but always try to let everyone have some fun, but I always make sure that it is a functioning team and that if something does happen my units would be able to take action and handle the situation. I also believe that I have been doing very well as PolAir and I am always providing valuable information to GD units. I am also hoping to help fix the current state of PolAir and get us more involved with the other divisions. Thank you for taking the time to read my application. Who would recommend you for a promotion? @Fusionable @DyNaMiiC.dFuZR@J. Johnsons @_jp94 @Brendon

By placing this Application you are not guaranteed placement in the Academy. Your Application for Academy Officer in the APD may be Denied if you answers do not meet the minimum word limit, you lie in your answers, have an unsatisfactory history of Server Rule Breaches/ Protocol Breaches or fail to agree and acknowledge all statements and declarations in this Application. You Application may also be Denied after an Interview with a member of the Academy Officer. If you application is Denied a time frame will be placed after which you may reapply. Acknowledgement of Declaration: Yes Basics: - Name on Database: Frank Callsign: K12W Rank: Senior Constable Age: 21 Questionnaire: - Why do you want to join the Altis Police Department Academy (100 words min)?: The reason I want to join Academy is that I want to have a variety of things I can put my time towards in the police force. I feel Academy would be a good next step for me as I enjoy assisting new players and up-n-coming people and molding them into great cops. I've done a few induction training's and its great to see how people progress from that point. With my age and in real life experience I feel I can bring a new aspect to the team. I have had a couple of people mention to me that Academy is a good next step for me. What can you bring to the Academy? (50 words min)?: As most of the command will know my real life job is a Police Dispatcher, I deal with multiple different situations and sometimes take the emergency 111 (equivalent of 000 calls) and help a lot of different people in different situations. I think that the Academy is a team and the team will have all sorts of problems from in-game to real life and I feel I can bring good perspective and knowledge to the team. Do you wish to work in Enlistment or Training? Why? (50 words min)?: Since I have become a Senior Constable I have enjoyed doing watching/learning how to do inductions and then actually completing them myself. The pride you feel when one of your newbies is advancing well and improving as a cop is a good feeling and I would like to replicate that more with enlistment and training. How much time can you dedicate to the Altis Police Department?: Usually when I am working I work 6 days on 4 days off - During the 6 days I am on at all random times of the day and night so I can bring around the clock assistance to the academy and on my days off I will spend most of my time playing on cop/doing what I can to improve it as a whole. Have you ever been the subject of Disciplinary Action within the APD? If so when and why? I have had a warning for patting down someone outside of a police station, this was when I was very new to the force and hasn't happened since. Conclusion: - Have you read the Altis Police Department Protocols?: Yes Have you read the Altis Police Department Academy Staff Guidelines?: Yes Do you acknowledge that by partaking in illegal or 'Rebel' activities you do not have the right to apply for Speciality Divisions within the APD such as SRT, POLAIR, Detectives and The Police Academy: Yes @Slep.

Any work you do for the APD remains the property of the APD. Any "Code Black" information you are given is to remain unreleased into the Community. Do you agree and accept with the agreement? I accept.

Hi All Now i know why it is disabled on some aircraft's but on attack choppers such as the Blackfoot i feel that infantry should be able to take controls in case your pilot get shot out or he loses connection as what happened here... i was unable to take controls and my pilot lost connection and i couldn't take controls to save the Blackfoot i was stuck in the air for 2 minutes heaps of time to take controls and save the Blackfoot which is a very rare Easter egg.

Can we cut down on the responses saying "Yes" or "+1" and give a constructive response to this topic. I am interested to see what people think of this topic and how they would like to see it, with the reasons they would like it like that. I do agree with the responses that the CP is not being used as they may be intended or by police officers, I see it more being manned by rebels or small gangs to create an ambush for small groups entering and leaving Sydney. I would love to see it being used for RBT's, vehicle checks, etc by the police officers again. The reason I would say that police do not man it is the immediate threat of rebels, they are sitting outside of the city limits, meaning that there are no rule restrictions that prevent a group using the rebel gear at this location.

@Jay, @nclem is trying to say that regardless if you have someone's Steam you need to add your friend/college to a group in the lobby of the map you are playing, to be able to play with them.

clearly you have not tried the new AOs being tested on the tanoa server lul, not boring at all

whats to stop some rando from hopping in the gunner seat and flying off with it?

While it is always unfortunate to lose a reward vehicle or easter egg, i don't think they're going to open up a griefing opportunity this large. If you lose connection or your pilot dies, then that's just how the game goes, it sucks but you've got to move on. Just bad luck really.

That's already on the to-do list.

Tank interiors have been added to the DEV build. this is more incentive to use first person lock. Less of the crappy square and actual vision blocks. Is this awesome or what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TY-uc0AVVk
