You cannot edit mission.sqf in an external editor. You need to open the mission in the Mission editor in ARMA and change it there. The file is automatically generated and it needs to be in a very specific way, so any tampering outside of the ARMA editor will probably break it. If you have jsrs (and probably some other mods) installed an try to edit it in ARMA editor you will get some dummy objects automatically added to the mission file that will break it.

Raz: it takes 5 minutes to service the plane. No matter if it's just a little fuel, rearm or a full repair from half death as far as I know. And that is 5 ARMA minutes, not real minutes. If the server is running slow, it could take longer.

Rarek! Miss you. Please come back a bit more :-)

To be clear here. I didn't mean I didn't believe that you've been shot at. But I haven't experienced any problems like this. And believe me, some people are very vocal about if stuff like this should happen to them. It just hasn't happened enough for me to see it as a problem on our servers. But exchanging the aa buzzard to any of the other planes, and if we are talking about reducing mistakes like this the only choice would be the wipeout, creates a big problem. That enables a single pilot to reduce the enemy forces considerably by himself leaving scraps to the soldiers on the ground and that is not how it's supposed to be. And believe me, that will happen enough to be a big problem. Been there, done that. The aa jet is more or less there to give the pilots a something else to do besides ferrying people back and forth and to keep the sky clear of enemy threats to the helicopters. The CAS support is supposed to come from UAVs (yea, I know, they are glitchy at best)

Can't afford it at the moment. I'm probably up for it in about a month though.

Being an admin that has been on EU #1 more or less daily lately, I can't recall a single time this has happened while I've been on. There are several possibilities here 1. I have a really bad memory 2. Pilots haven't been too vocal about it when it has happened (I do try to follow up on all team kills I see though) 3. I'm totally clueless about what is going on on the server 4. This is probably not really a big issue Could someone else provide another view of this? Anything constructive messedupsmiley? I forgot one 5. This happens, but not while I'm on the server.

I don't remember if this is a laptop or a box mission, but for the case it's a laptop: Sometimes the laptop ends up under the table. As physics isn't enabled for it, that could mean hanging in the air just below the table surface so you need to go prone to access it. Not sure if it could end up under the floor as well though. I think this is because of ARMA being ARMA. Even though physics is disabled. sometimes objects tend to move anyway due to stuff happening in the surroundings that makes it update its position. Like explosions from grenades thrown into the building.

My take on this, as someone who likes to drive around in vehicles. I do understand that it's hard to let someone you don't know in the vehicle. Quite often this leaves you with a gunner that sprays ammo indiscriminately. Often hitting friendlies witch tags you, as a driver, as a teamkiller. Also wasting ammo on houses or trees while moving to the AO is quite common. Worse fear is if someone gets in your vehicle at base and start shooting at people and/or helicopters. There's nothing you can do other than get out quick to not get tagged as the killer. All this happens often enough to make you extremely paranoid by unknown people who tries to get into your vehicle. Especially people who runs after you or tries to get in without asking. If you want to join someone, you might need to build confidence first. Ask politely, accept a no, join them with your own vehicle, perhaps an ammo truck, help with repairs, join TS and see if the driver is there etc. If the driver sees you are an ok guy, he might let you help him. And for drivers, if someone makes an effort, give them a chance. It is actually more fun to have a full crew in a vehicle.

He talked to me in TS and asked politely how to get unbanned. Appeal seems to be in order. I have no idea on how serious his offence was, but cut him som slack if there's any room for it.

No wipe at launch....

Amentes: Good point. But at least it's practise. :-)

The release is not far away now. As a backer I'm already able to play* in the "gamma" phase between beta and release. The whole galaxy is now open. But to be fair, I doubt anyone will be able to get even half way to the center of the galaxy. Any more ahoy players already playing or planning to? * able to play is quite relative. For the same reasons I can't play ARMA any more, no gfx card, my options are quite limited in elite. No dogfights for me. :-( But as there are fewer polygons in the scale of space than on Altis, I'm able to run it at all.

Wai! Wok is back! Happy to hear your father is alright. Too bad I'm in a bit of a gaming low point right now. My graphics card is broken and I have no money to use to replace it at the moment. Otherwise I would have loved to join you on a server.

Yes. Forgot about that. I would have backed tat as well if I wasn't broke. Enjoyed the original games. Both elite and syndicate.

Elite: Dangerous. I am a backer after all.
