If you are not a pilot you can enter the co-pilots seat and take controls of the helicopter.
 
Feel free to hide this once a dev has seen it so everyone doesn't abuse it.

Hey guys,
 
I'm Gavin and I'm new (obviously ) to the forums, but happily not to Arma 3 or 2! Normally I go driving or flying in Arma, but since the Beta is more optimized, I hope to fight on the ground more often. I play in-game with the name Gavin too, so I hope to see you around!

(Shoutout to Jeff :3)

Dear Members & Players & Fans and the like,
 
We are happy to announce that now all our Arma 3 servers are upgraded the the latest Beta software version 0.70.
 
Furthermore you will see that we also published an updated version of our downloadable Invade & Annex mission, so you can update your own servers to include all fresh BETA love. DOWNLOAD HERE
 
So whether you download the mission for your own server, or you enjoy I&A on one of our official dedicated servers, we hope to have provided you with an as smooth as possible transition into BETA. Our forums however remain open for your suggestions, remarks and bug reports.
 
Enjoy the goodies !
AW Staff

So... BF4 release would be my preferred options, but most of the other ideas I've seen here are pretty good too.

Maybe a BF1942 server in the meantime. Because everyone knows that the Anti-Tank class is the most versatile in the game.

Or any other BF server. They're all good (Apart from BF1943).
 

This this this this, this so much.

Ok sorry my mistake /(. . )
 
Then my Options will be:
 
1. Red Orchestra Hardcore server 
2. BF 3 or BF 4 server
3. Team Fortress 2 / Gmod server
4. DayZ mod / Stand Alone DayZ server
 

Oh yes, that would solve a lot of problems.

Obviously that means that the team leader needs to be part of the operation, if he doesn't know whats going on, or how to work commands, results may vary

I have actually made this in my custom mission for Game Night, haven't tested it full scale but using the correct inits on the hostages will make them stay still until you trigger them to become part of your squad. After that you can just select them (with the Fx-keys) have them board a vechile, join them, take them back to base and unload them on a trigger that ends the mission successfully

Ok sorry my mistake /(. . )
 
Then my Options will be:
 
1. Red Orchestra Hardcore server 
2. BF 3 or BF 4 server
3. Team Fortress 2 / Gmod server
4. DayZ mod / Stand Alone DayZ server
 

I was on another Beta server and they had a "Create Group" script running using the scroll wheel menu.
 
Create Group
Invite Group
Join Group
Kick Group
 
Worked well and there were no hard feelings from players being kicked from a squad to make room for "battle buddies".
Seems like a no brainer.
 
 
 
 

No jumping ahead, this is step 2
 
This is to see if I can draw up a good list, from which I can pull everyone's ideas together pick our any trends and then have a more informed poll

We Need You!

To Decide the Future of Ahoy World

 

The new AW server "Flagship" is up and running and many things related to ArmA III have been sorted out.  Now there is many many games out there that we can run on the AW server.  Rather than just dictate to our lovely members what we'll get, WE WANT YOU to tell us what it is that you as members want.

 

Currently on Flagship we have:

2x ArmA 3 Invade and Annex 2 Servers

1x Minecraft Vanilla Server

1x Feed the Beast (Minecraft modded) server

 

Currently we are thinking about adding a "Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 Server."

We are also committing to add a Assetto Corsa upon release

 

If any particular trends appear on this thread we can have a more serious and focused discussion.  We obviously cant put everyone's idea up (unless you all pick ridiculously light server software.)  But AW isn't an ArmA community and now we want to look forward to new horizons while still maintaining our existing server structure.

 

So go ahead and let myself and the rest of the Staff know... what do you want to see!

ArmA 3 Alpha:
============
Teamkilling?
 
To Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), some servers use ServMan by the username---Panzertard.  With this program in place, 3 teamkills be it A.I. or "real" player, will get oneself booted for an hour.  Repeated offenses will get oneself banned permanently via the guy's IP address.  And word spreads about bad guys and they tend to be banned from the other servers---just in case.
 
I do not deliberately teamkill, but accidents do happen due to the nature of the mouse' scroll wheel does not sometimes highlight in yellow a friendly player.  I am very careful not to teamkill and have ended up "Critically Wounded" a few times because I hesitated to verify whether my target was really the enemy.
 
I have been deliberately teamkilled, repeatedly, by a guy and his chums on your servers because he disagrees with my gameplay tacticts---I was not cheating.  Teamkilling is teamkilling and even for glorious, "righteous" reasons, it is still teamkilling.
 
As to the other crap?  I use Norton 360---best I have found.  I also use MalwareBytes and Spybot S&D.  Because of the nasty people out there, I quit building web-pages, and forget about a dedicated server.  The crap you just experienced is illegal in the USA, just notifly law enforcement and the FBI, age of the offender does not matter.  People leave traces of their online adventures, they are retrievable with the proper incentive to go-get-'em and a warrant to search.

I've been watching these guys for years! It's so awesome to see them playing our map!  

I don't play BF3 or COD, but any valve servers would be nice.
 
Team fortress 2, Gmod, Left 4 dead (2)
 
And best thing is that TF2 is Free to play without any pay2win system. It's only cosmetics.
Not sure if this would be a permanent server, but if you install multiple games on it, we could have game nights just depending on the game. The only downside to this is not having a constant flow of visitors.
 
edit:
 
I'm also voting on standalone DayZ server.

GMod would be great! I love that game and having people to actually fuck about on it with would be a lot better than building shit on my own xD

See if you can get a DayZ server on current Arma2 OA and possibly, if they will use servers, on the standalone, like Paraclete said above.
