definitly looks like tracers from heavy machineguns. oh wait ain't fireworks supposed to be aimed at the sky ?

time : friday 22:46 GMT+1 server : EU 1 problem : reboot / crash no warning only insane packet loss 10 seconds before it happens.

The version of mas on the server IS updated, got the update via the repo 2 days ago.

Fine by me, mods are already prepared.

Good point, removing sti launchers for trixie + top down would be nice.

mas just got updated here is the armaholic page

Same here sign me up (riflemen).

never got that problem dildor it might be a mod or ai configuration on your side, because on I&A I never got that problem

Just a lil question, do we sign to play or is it on gamenight time ?

I'm starting to fuel the hypetrain for this one hope it's coming soon.

Hi guys I'll answer your questions one by one: jux: that's not intended by BI that's why it's not included same for the divebombing, I say it's possible but I give no advice on it. I though that was common knowledge, i'm going to add it MDCCLXXVI: i'll change the cycle crew part a bit, but the fact that you need to kill yourself is to prevent the uav to explode upon connection, that was my deduction from some testing after the cycle crew got introduced the thing is that the higher the server uptime is the higher the chance of exploding upon connection is, and after around 10 hour uptime the crew inside just go nuts. i'll try to squeeze a tutorial under 100 words

Hi everyone, my name is alganthe and i'm probably the one who played the most with uavs on I&A. I'm here today to help you, scrubs, to use the uavs efficiently. It's pretty simple but you need to know it, i'll cut the guide in 4 parts. 1: connecting and taking off 2: standard bombing 3: in depth use 4 troubleshooting 1: connecting and taking off The thing you need to know about uavs on I&A is that they spawn WITHOUT CREWS INSIDE THEM so even if the vehicle is present, IT'S EMPTY. to place a crew inside a freshly spawned uav / ugv and take off you need to : Get to the pc area at base on your left when you respawn. Press the cycle crew button (pc on the left) and then KILL YOURSELF it's important, it prevent some bugs (only you as uav operator can see the option, you need to do it yourself everytime a uav respawn) connect to the desired uav and then REALLY IMPORTANT take control of the TURRET (gunner). wait 5 seconds so the engine start to run. release control of the uav, wait 3s and take control of the UAV (driver). taxi to the runways, put your flaps down and take off simple eh ? 2: standard bombing you have 2 ways to bomb, locking on a laser painted target, or divebombing on this guide I'll cover only the first one. To bomb you need to: Have someone lasing with a laser designator the attachement doesn't work. that person need to keep the lase steady come in a direction where the target and the laser is visible (no obstacle in front) thoses are what you need to be able to release your gbus, here is how I bomb: I climb high enough to not get shot by AAA (over 1 000m) I come from the right direction previously given by the person who is lasing I switch to manual fire I then press R when i'm seeing red dots on my radar and that I know i'm approaching the target I then fly over and wait till the diamond / circle appear (depends on how you drop it) then I release my gbu 3 in depth there is some things you need to know about the uavs it's possible to lock the turret on a direction by pressing CTRL+T it's also possible to lock on a target by pressing CTRL+T on it (useful for lasing moving targets from the sky) the best way to lase something yourself is to : Placing a loiter waypoint by pressing shift+right click then waypoint type then loiter. change the altitude to 2 000m. when the uav is in poistion switch to the gunner seat. lock the target with CTRL+T and lase it. 4 troubleshooting I don't have any uav : wait for them to respawn (place a darter at the hangars to see if they're here) I see my uavs but I can't connect to them : cycle the uav crew / respawn my uav just exploded : it might happen if you don't follow this guide or if you teamkilled (sometimes they do it because they want to) my uav is not following my waypoints : It happens when the server is running for a long time, wait 5 minutes if the uav keep ignoring waypoints the server needs a restart I can't see when i'm around 1500 1600m why ? : don't forget to increase the view distance in the scroll wheel option (settings) AND in your video options. short version for lazy readers and the mission how to use uavs: 1.Get to the pc area at base (look left after you respawned) 2.Press the cycle crew button (pc on the left) and then kill yourself (do it everytime you loose a uav to prevent explosions) 3.connect to the uav and then take control of the TURRET (gunner). 4.wait 5 seconds so the engine start. 5.release control of the uav, wait 3s and take control of the UAV (driver). when a uav is empty repeat the previous steps by alganthe

tundundun dun dun dun dundundun guess who finally made a forum account ? ITSU ME so since it's a presentation let's talk but'me mkay ? i'm an 18 french dude who loves to play with uav on the server, I have also some experience in flying and driving. I'm pretty talkative so don't hesitate to make me shut up. AND DON'T TOUCH MAH UGU STOMPY
