Havoc

Should be fixed next update.
 
Have made it so rotors aren't spinning before the interaction is available.
 
Fixed in next update.

Reference LAMBS, Frontlines only uses its patrol, garrison and camp functions directly, and only for defensive AI. Otherwise its just the normal AI into combat, begin LAMBS stuff, so I can't influence it too much. There are a few CBA settings we can try and change but not sure how fruitful it is. Isla Duala may also not be helping, and will probably be avoided for future runs.

Tis' done. Pod now gets velocity from chopper when detached, and speed/alt. changed to 10/2 ....

Current criteria for releasing the pod is under 5kph and 1m altitude. Don't know how much higher and faster is safe for a drop, but can double it to 10kph and 2m alt. I think it comes down to the pilot too, releasing when it actually "feels" safe ....

I'm not 100% and someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that is feasible.

I'd imagine if the object is released mid air it would immediately become a physics object that can interact with the Taru and lead to many explosions. 

Unsure if it is intended this way or not, but I personally don't like having the Taru detach action only when on the ground and stationary. Could this be changed to have the action pretty much always available? Could help in hot LZ's or when you want to just ditch it for multiple reasons.

Helicopter explodes after unloading crate (not through ACE cargo). Seems to not disable simulation when unloading crates.

Get rid of LAMBS it's not fun with these OP Serbians, tanking SNIPER bullets to the face and don't flinch but 1 tap you and everyone knows where you are, you can't peak a fucking wall to see where to shoot because some way they are telepathic. I simply will stop playing the game mode all together, it's not fun any more and it's also taking too long to bandage.

Happened when I tried to remove a weapon from an unconscious enemy.

Could we add a max distance from nearest base/FOB modifier for side missions, EU2 usually has less people online than EU1, so it's less likely there'll be a pilot online, and due to the size of the map side objs can be a long way away(17 km cough, cough), taking a while to get to, only for the mission to fail soon after you get there 😞

1. Enhanced Map Ace Version
 
2. This mod creates a more contrasted map allowing for easier identification of paths and roads, whilst also adding a true satellite imagery texture. It is client-side and so could be optional. It is a simple plug and play mod that claims to work on all modded maps (i have tried most of the Frontlines maps and it works perfectly). At 0.7MB it is extremely small. Whilst Frontlines doesn't use Cam Lao Nam I have found myself struggling to see the trail through such dense foliage, and the bolder lines help with locating positions.
 
3. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2467590475
 
4. Frontlines is about planning and any tool to aid in that would be great. Because it is client-side if it isn't someone's cup of tea then they don't need to load it in. 

So since the Greayhawks tend to act like toddlers whenever you look away and get stuck on stuff I would suggest having a similar mechanic for the big drones as there is for pilots and their helicopters. Being able to despawn them. Since theres not always a Zeus online to help or pilots are busy with transport you're left with a drone that, worst case, gets stuck ontop of the air service, rendering it useless for Vortex. 

In the Invade and Annex server on Arma 3 there is a location just south of The Main Base called "Boats" it is the ONLY area on the map that you can get a boat, but Firstly, what is the point? There are no Naval missions and very rarely do you see any missions along the coast? An improvement that I would like to see is some sort of Naval side missions, like Assault an Oil Rig and gather intel or destroy enemy boats, etc. Secondly, can we get more boat spawns e.g. 1 north of FOB Guardian and maybe 1 south of FOB Guardian. I would like to see at least 1 at every FOB or at least near to them. Boats have a lot of potential but at the moment there are no uses fir them and to me this is a shame. Boats could add a whole new experience to the community and I personally would like to see them expanded in some way in the future. 

Have tweaked around with various settings, should improve but will get a better view from gamenight tomorrow.
 
Found the issue, this will be fixed in next AWMod update.
 
Found the issue, happened when recycling a mobile respawn. Fix will be in next update for gamenight tomorrow.

Very fun grand opening! I enjoyed it. Couple of feedback items:
- Rename Hammer & Anvil Squad Leader to Commander, it's more accurate I believe.
- Add special icons for the Frontlines ACE interactions to make it stand out from the rest.
- POW launcher and launcher ammo doesn't get removed.
 
Also: the AW view distance menu resets the terrain settings to smoothest every time I open it.
