Modset Changelog 01/01/18

Can we know why most of the weapons are being removed? I'd assume it's because most of the firearms In said packs are mostly minimal difference variants. However variety is the spice of life and the more guns would, naturally, mean more options for loadouts, combinations and synergy between squad members.

But the F-15 was so fun to fly

ArmA is an infantry simulator, focusing on small scale missions - not on entire wars between countries. Makes much more sense to bring guided 70 mm rockets than a fucking bomber. Plus everything that looks like it actually needs at least a 500 lbs bomb is indestructible.

If you haven't tried the F-16 yet, you might like it even more. It's an absolute work of art; guidance systems can be used entirely single-seated, has a much wider variety of available munitions (AGM-84s, APKWS missiles, glide bombs and way more) - taking proper advantage of the FIR AWS mod, and is just more convenient overall with a smaller size and lower stall and take-off speeds (I think, not sure). It also has a much better view from the cockpit.

I was told Vcom didn't work with Alive enabled.

That is old, they are compatible now.

Good

Do we need to install another TFAR plugin for the Beta?

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too, will we need to get a more up-to-date teamspeak plugin for TFAR?

Yes, you will require the new TFAR Plugin. The old one won't work.

Good to know, many thanks

Since we are going to switch to ACE Arsenal, will all the loadouts we created in the past with the BI Arsenal be automagically imported into the new or we must re-create them or there is some file editing required?

FUCKING WHY, SHIT OH SHIT

You will either need to recreate them, or there is a script out there that will transfer the loadouts. I'll be making a guide that explains all the new stuff before the end of the year.

I might hop on for a few sessions once implemented, it sounds like TFR is going in the direction of ACRE (ACRE has had the intercoms and the spectate hearing for quite some time, am unsure about AI hearing tho). With that in mind, it sounds like i can actually enjoy the TFR mod more and more.

is the new plug in backwards compatible? I.e. can we install it now with no issues or do we have to wait for the new TFAR version to go up and install after?

It won't work.

VCOM AI says:

If one unit in their squad takes fire they all will go into combat stance

Does this mean they'll be immediately alerted even if their teammate goes down outside of their field of view?

Vcom also has the fun thing where Ai will kill you even if it means throwing nades in CQB

After having spent a few hours flying the F16 I have to agree with all of that. It does need a much shorter takeoff run and handles beautifully at low speed and altitude. You could almost do CAS like a Littlebird with it for bonus cool factor.

Will they actually move in or throw a grande or just stand like idiots and look towards the voice?
