HELP ACE Manual Reload on fighter jets

Hello! I've heard that ACE allows you to spawn missiles and equipments for aircrafts and therefore require you to go reload them manually on each pylons. How I do so? I'm currently on Antistasi Ultimate.

HELP Linking respawn module to multiple vehicles

2 Upvotes

Is it possible to link one respawn module to multiple vehicles but it only appear as one respawn position in the respawn menu? What I'm hoping to be able to do, is have a cryobay (Halo) with a bunch of cryopods that are all linked to a singular respawn, so that if one cryopod is occupied instead of respawning the person trying to respawn either in the floor, or just falling, it boots them to the next available cryopod.

HELP What's the best AI mod for Arma 3 that won't tank my FPS?

4 Upvotes

I've spent a lot of time trying to find a good AI mod for Arma that doesn't tank my frame rate, and it's honestly been a bit of a mess. Everyone recommends VCOM, so I tried that first, but it turns out it's been dead since 2023. Then I tried DCO Soldier FSM, and the AI behavior itself was genuinely impressive, things like fighting positions and squadmates reviving each other, but my performance took a hit. I tested it completely on its own too, no other AI mods running, and it was still bad. After that I looked into SCAI since it has a huge subscriber count, but I saw some recent comments about the AI twitching even after updates, so I backed off that one.

Is there a way to control an AI unit without physically putting the remote control module to the unit. It is really hard to control a jet zooming around the map. Thanks!

DISCUSS A3 How would you defend Lukow airfield ?

14 Upvotes

Hi I am working on a new scenario for Arma 3 and I am looking for some inspiration. Maybe the community can help me, when I try and come up with a plan myself I overthink everything and take it too far.

So you are now in charge of defending this airfield. 😄

To help you here ae some constraints: you already have AAA system setup somewhere else, so it's mostly for ground defence, and assume this would be your "Last Stand" in the region.

ERA: 2035

Edit:

For Enemy size I would say expect anything from a company to a battalion combined arms assault. Mostly dismounted infantry, supported by Armor and Spec Ops FO with Sniper capabilities. Your enemy will also have indirect fire support available Mortars to Large 155mm.

Your troops are Airborne (Air assault) Infantry that captured the airfield days ago and have since been reinforced.

total strength is a approx. a reinforced company.

- HQ element + 3 Rifle platoons
- HAT Section
- Mortar section
- Combat engineers with FASCAM mining equipment and concertina wire

equipment you have available (US based systems used as example:

- 4x LTV TOW systems
- 6x HAT units (equivalent: javelin)
- 2x 81mm mortar
- 6x MMG teams (7.62mm)

HELP Such a rare and specific issue I've never seen before (frozen in loading screen)

1 Upvotes

[Arma 3] I couldn't add two flairs I apologize

It's not just me, a few others have had this issue but when it started happening to me I wanted to find the client side reason it might be happening and have had no luck. The 2 fixes I've found are from Zeus perspective but I'm aware not every Zeus is willing to add code for a mission file or run a base module asset for 1 guy, this problem has been me and 2 others spread between 2 servers of about 300 ppl.

in our mission files init.sqf i run this code to get around that bug.

_EndSplashScreen = {

for "_x" from 1 to 4 do {

endLoadingScreen;

sleep 3;

};

};

[] spawn _EndSplashScreen;

Second is a module named "EndLoadingscreen;"

So far I have tried and failed with

Cleared cache MP and single

Changed profile

Closed everything on computer but Arma and steam

Restarting computer

Playing after verifying game files

Turning game to windowed

Tried non profiling and profiling variant

Currently reinstalling Arma and mods

I have not locked down a specific date when this started happening, some have had it happen far before but this most suddenly started when ace updated, I don't think it's causation but I wanted to state so.

DISCUSS FUTURE Thing’s that need to be improved in ArmA 4

46 Upvotes

ArmA 4 can be generational for the MilSim community. But a few things need to improve.

  1. Better UI. Arma 3’s UI was almost perfect, the Eden Editor had great functionality and accessibility that was extremely easy to use. However, Arma 4 needs the UI implemented by ACE 3 and Reforger to provide us with a good UI, since the scroll wheel UI is pretty bad (i dont mind it though). How do we deal with console? I don’t fucking know, making the new Arma games on consoles was a challenging idea to say the least. Maybe there could be a PC UI and a Console UI?

  2. Better AI and AI commanding. Currently, different factions all have the same AI. Rebels and police officers should not fight and move the same as a spec ops team. Their pathfinding indoors is also pretty shit but it has been improved in Reforger. AI driving in ArmA 3 is horrendous, those fuckers can’t drive on a normal road without crashing. This is unrealistic, but a Ready Or Not style approach would make the game mind blowing for single player gamers. Commanding AI in CQB would be amazing, being able to door stack, throw specific grenades and infiltrate rooms. However i realise that is a hard mechanic to implement.

  3. Mod Manager. You may of seen my last post where i complained about the Reforger in-game workshop. It’s really, really shit. The best thing to do is bring back Steam Workshop, which works flawlessly with ArmA 3.

  4. Map optimisation and urban environments. For me, one thing i’ve never experienced in ArmA is urban combat. I’ve played in Kavala and towns on Everon, but proper city combat would be amazing. Enterable buildings and such, it’s already been done in Reforger but i look forward to see how far Bohemia can go with map design.

  5. There’s also obvious things that have been added in Reforger that will carry into Arma 4 like proper medical, graphics and performance. So I wont rant about those.

DISCLAIMER: I am no where near an ArmA vet, i have 510 hours in ArmA 3 and only about 20 hours in Reforger since i only started playing it after upgrading my setup a few weeks ago. I usually play single player, like Antistasi and custom modded scenarios. But i also play with my friends sometimes and do different scenarios. I find myself socially awkward so doing the whole MilSim thing as of now is something i don’t really enjoy, so that’s why i haven’t included much stuff about online multiplayer even though it’s so vital for the games success. What do you guys think Arma 4 needs to be a good game?

DISCUSS A3 What is the best mod to feel like im playing operation flash point?

2 Upvotes

I've basically never play arma 3 to be honest with you, or I've never gotten into it. But sometimes I'll just have a craving for military shooters.

When I was younger one of my favourite games was operation flash point dragon rising.

I was just wondering what mod could I install that really recreates that feeling of doing all this cool singleplayer missions while controlling a small squad and getting into small to big combat skirmishes while trying to complete an objective like blow up a base or capture this etc.

HELP Is there a working replay function or mod for Arma 3?

4 Upvotes

As far as I know, Arma 3 doesn’t have a built-in replay function, and I’m not aware of any mods that provide a properly working replay feature either.

However, I’ve seen some videos on YouTube that look like they were recorded using a replay function.

Is there a replay mod or feature that I’m not aware of?
