A lot of people wear the Ghillie because of the Bergan backpack, which I personally think should go too. But I will save that for another day lol

Thanks for the replies Gentleman

With Malden being a smaller map, Helicopters could be possibly used less? Set the starting base to be the island top right of map. Have a basic crate with a standard rifle or loadout. Then have pilots ferry us to an FOB somewhere where we pick up weapons and vehicles. Will give the FOB a sense of purpose. Of course if people want to go directly to the objective/AO, they will have a standard loadout. Or possibly have the starting base off the new boat with a single heli on the deck? Jets can have the carrier to land and take off? Just ideas. I just see Maldon being more vehicle based. Maybe don't even include a CAS jet?

No problem, my apologies. I have no idea how the I&A setup works. At 55mb I was under the false impression everything was in the one file. ill shut up now. Good luck with it

Perhaps. Switching a mission file is as simple as being logged in as admin, them typing “/missions” into chat. Can then choose the mission file you want to play. Once finished, swap back to I&A. just throwing some ideas out there. I’m not a great pilot, but would be more than happy to spectate some pilots crashing and burning.

Is it not possible to take down I&A for a couple hours and load up a new mission file? That way everything can be preplanned. Have different scenarios across the map ready to go, people vote on what they want. That way all Zeus has to do is spawn in vehicles pretty much. It won’t have scripts for role restrictions, friendly fire (don’t make any weapons available unless required by the scenario) like I would honestly be happy to do a quick mock up for you and you can it by the other staff. having a dedicated mission file would cut down on resources being wasted on AI not needed.

Sorry I missed it, family stuff. Just out of curiosity, surely there is a few more things you could set up? Perhaps make it a monthly thing? Or every few months. you have quite a few skilled pilots on the servers. What about a Redbull Air Race style event? Set up a couple of radio towers as slalom gates. Could do a few runs with different helicopters, then the Ceasar, then finally the jets? Um, carrier landings? That is always good for a laugh. Relay style race. Add a few markers down. Different sections of the course require a different mode of transport. Zeus should be able to spawn in assets. Parachute comp, who can get closest to the marker? Run and Gun in a tank. Spawn in say 5 enemy AI vehicles on 5 specific markers. Once the tank starts firing the vehicles should scatter. Lowest time wins? Attack HQ. Set up a HQ type composition with a handful of Ai defending. People take in turns assaulting the objective, with 2 ai team mates. The goal is to clear the HQ as quick as possible, bonus points for keeping you AI alive. You could change this up by running teams of 5 players? Set an amount of revives available to a team. Not talking about scripting, just gentleman’s rules apply. Zeus could monitor. The options are endless. It is a sandbox after all.

It's not a huge deal. Problem is I'll load into the server, run towards the helicopter only for it to take off, then I'm left waiting for the next one.

Can you move the landing pads closer to the fence like they used to be?

Thursday evening, Persona and another pilot (Apologies I forgot to check), flew in perfect formation from old AO, to new AO. I was mighty impressed with the unknown pilot!

How different are our colours...

You could also lower the amount of slots available on Altis, so once that starts getting full, people head over to the Tanoa server? Would save server performance, and things aren’t that fun when there is 60 people on. just a suggestion

I am not sure what the costing is for strayagaming, but using Wombat Servers as a guide. $1 a slot per month, plus 25 cents for TS per month. So $100 means someone has essentially paid 80 months worth of access in one hit. Not sure about everyone else, but I wont be playing Arma for 80 months.... Then factor in that I am not on the server everyday, sometimes not on for weeks, So I am still paying for someone else to be playing on that slot, if you know what I mean. In my opinion, and anyone can disagree with me. Once a person has reached the $100 limit it should be permanent. So if you have guys that have previously donated say $20. Get them to pay the $10/m until they reach the threshold, then dont charge them any more. Give people who have reached the $100 goal a special teamspeak Icon or whatever.

I am sure I am not the only one out there that will feel cheated. We donated money with the understanding that we would be supporting the server, and getting skins/white listed slots. I could have just paid $10 at the time to get that, but I felt that because I enjoyed the server so much that I would donate more. There is guys that have donated $200+ in one hit. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into running a server like this. But $100 is my limit. The only 3 whitelisted slots you really use is Pilot, Sniper and Medic. $10/m isnt worth it just for that.

Can't say I am a fan. I donated $100 in one hit but pretty sure that was over 12 months ago. Regardless, $100 is more than twice the price of the game!

Server FPS has been good on my end. The AO improvements have had a positive effect on infantry as well. You don’t seem to encounter 30 people barricading themselves at the HQ anymore. People seem to be walking around the AO to a greater extent. Have noticed a massive increase in people taking medic slots as well. I jumped on yesterday for a bit and there was only one Whitelisted spot available, everything else was taken. great job with the update and refresh

Good addition to servers that only run first person, but most of those servers run RHS assets

Fitz I understand that. But this issue has been happening for a couple of days now. We had M9 jump in the other day and he couldn't stay so nothing was done. Yesterday we needed wasteland staff to ban "Joshua Rose" as he was being a pest in TS. There was probably no RoboCop reports as they were just crashing into each other. One of those videos I uploaded is 1.9gb. it becomes a bit annoying having to upload videos as my internet connection is next to useless for the time it's uploading.

I've been on annual leave for the past week and a half and I have been playing during the day anywhere from 8am to 6pm. Have been noticing between 10am-2pm we get alot of trolls on the server. Jet ramming, helicopter ramming, pilots not on TeamSpeak etc Searching TS you cannot find any admin online to boot them. What is the best way to deal with this?

I dont expect anything to happen at 11am on a friday. Everyone wanted proof. So here is your proof. And Unlike most, I dont work 9-5. I do shift work. So i play between the hours of 8am--6pm usually.

I have video, but it takes an hour to upload the files to youtube.

Same three idiots again crashing everything. They have left for now, but seriously need a Ban

Any admin available? Blair Smart My Name Is Tommo Dans Crashing helicopters on purpose

If anyone is interested, Arma 3 is on sale this weekend!
