Situation
In order to increase our influence in the area and the effective range of our patrols we have established a small outpost on a major river junction, code named "outpost Kable". Since its creation Kable has been been subjected to highly organised attacks. We suspect the enemy have a designated command and control element in the area with responsibility for assaulting Outpost Kable. You are to insert to Kable to aid in its defense and the defense of the outlying OP Hammer. Once security in the immediate area has been increased you are tasked with patrolling the surrounding area to search for any enemy command assets and neutralise them.

Some errors from my RPT (first round of testing, before the restart) (alright, maybe just one):
 

It's been good having a steady hand at the tiller.  Thanks.

Some stuff from my RPT today:

I&A4 version 070 change log

FIXES
1. Overhaul of Rescue Civs secondary mission (Civs weren't spawning in buildings, or near OPFOR defenders).
2. Random revive from incapacitation, should be much less often. If you self-revive once, you won't self-revive again until respawn.
3. Overhaul of all sub-objectives to improve success conditions.
4. More work on custom groups. Maybe now it works? Who knows!
5. Admin scripts (should) be visible now for staff
6. Slung weapon was being detected as a non-class weapon for purposes of the gear restriction script (lolz)
7. Weather regulation script had an error which could result in a sunny (default) setting producing rain. Should now work as intended (Default parameter = sunny weather)
8. Player vehicles shouldn't be deleted in zones allocated for other bases.
9. Assets from secondary missions were sometimes caught up in orphan units subroutine after main AO was completed.
10. Possible fix for UGV reward asset
 
TWEAKS
1. Arsenal quartermaster animations changed so he doesn't walk through the table.
2. Removed more trees at Abdera runway.
3. Opfor awareness process won't run on groups where all the members are dead.

5. The vehicle at the Repair depot sub-objective now has some flavour damage.
6. Updated secondary task names for better visibility on map.
7. Tweaks to main AO win condition
8. Civilian vehicles should now despawn after AO is completed if player is significantly far away, and hasn't been claimed by player
9. Vortex players should no longer be considered as potential targets for ambient anti-air spawns
10. Finessed ammo box deployment from helicopters (could spawn too close when helicopter was landed)

I&A 4 beta 069 change log:

NEW
---

2. Reward point donation cap of 10,000 points.
3. When incapacitated, the hint regarding the nearest teammate will disappear when you are revived, or when you die.
4. Closing the map will clear any active hint, including (and most importantly) the hint you get if you click on a unit to reveal the squad composition or vehicle crew.
5. Zeus players may show/hide enemy units on their map.
 
FIXES
1. Repair depot success condition
2. Admin scripts didn't appear. 
3. Admin TK notices now don't include the projectile as that information is usually missing
4. Zeus control double-click *may* be fixed
5. Fixed bug where players could donate infinite points.

7. Bug in IA4 menu re Air Channel button. (thanks Stanhope)
8. Bug related to MPHit eventhandler on Ammo depot, repair depot, and command center subobjectives (thanks Stanhope)
9. Base cleanup script re-activated. This will occasionally kick players out of inventory screens.
10. Fixes to two-strike rule for Vortex pilots.
11. Attempted fixes for custom groups.
12. Players no longer able to purchase non-class reward weapons and take them from arsenal (you can purchase them, but they won't show up in arsenal until you change to an appropriate role).
 
TWEAKS
1. Random chance of waking up from incapacitation has been tweaked significantly; should happen much less often, if at all.
2. Waking up from incapacitation, player will be wounded and limping, which can be fixed with a first aid kit or medpack.
3. Tweaked location of Selakano air service stations.
4. Changed max player count to 61 (1 HC slot, 60 player slots)
5. Tweaked conditions for picking up non-class, non-faction weapons.
- a non-class weapon will increase your difficulty to aim (setCustomAimCoef to 6). (For example: a NATO medic using a NATO autorifle.)
- a non-faction weapon will give you a 50% reward point penalty.
(For example: a NATO grenadier using a CSAT grenade launcher.)
- a non-class, non-faction weapon will do both.
(For example: a NATO medic using a CSAT grenade launcher.)
6. Arsenal will disappear when opened (locally) for cosmetic reasons, and will re-appear when closed.

Generally, anyone is free to commandeer an MRAP or Troop transport and insert themselves, rather than relying on helicopters.  As Stanhope and Toast indicate it's more about getting players into the action quickly.  But you're free to play any way you want.
 
The side missions (which failed during testing, we only had one, and then a second after I spawned it) are supposed to simulate this kind of action.  A convoy mission is never going to happen in Arma because the AI is pathetic at driving.  Plus, you need to build in so much exception handling: what does the convoy do if it's engaged?   Etc.  But mostly it's just about the fact that even if you spawn all the vehicles in a column on the road, they will inevitably crash into each other.
 
We tried running VCOM once on I&A... it brought the server to a standstill.  It's great, but there is a player cap on performance.
 
No convoy mission or mission like this, but a new concept in IA4 is that a primary AO will be considered "completed" when you eliminate 85% of the units.  So there will be some units left in the AO, and they receive a new mission to travel to the next AO, so you will find moving between AOs in this case.

Enjoying playing on the new update, however found that randomly i would get multiple zeus pop up  after pressing Y a minute later some times and cause my arsenal to randomly kick me out sticking me in arsenal view causing a relog. and there sometimes is a script error whilst joining causing a time out and players to be forced to wait the wait timer before reconnecting due to not being able to load in due to the error.  unfortunately didn't manage to get a screenshot of script, but it is to do with the loading in and the pop up i assume.

Ace on EU1 is a little problematic, the mod set has been kept to client side only mods because we want to keep the server as accessible to new players as possible! That means you are not required to download any mods to be able to play. This will hopefully keep the threshold for joining our EU1 server as low as possible.
 
We also arrange weekly game nights on EU2, where we run TFAR beta on top of the default EU1 mods. This is to ensure better communication and better quality of play and immersion as well. These game nights employ or more coordinated squad and command structure and a specific mission to complete as a team.
 
ACE among others used to be an essential part of the Enhanced Server (AWE). The Enhanced server has been inactive for a while but the plan is to restart the AWE server once I&A4 is out of beta. As far as I'm aware I&A4 is pretty much feature complete, but we are still ironing out performance issues and the occasional bug.

067
---
NEW
1. Added reward point values chart to map diary. Reward points are modified by the difficulty setting, and also by the skill level of the unit killed, so this may not be consistent from game to game, but is rather a base value.

2. Fix to cleanup script accidentally removing non-dead vehicles.
3. VIPER crew able to fly CAS helicopter alone, fixed, requires full crew in helicopter
4. Fixes to reward point donation.

Yeah, agreed. I will make some changes to incapacitation, so that it's not quite so random. 

In the latest version pilots will start engaging the AO when they fly into it, regardless of their height.  Meaning that on more than one occasion while I was flying the wipeout just inside the edge of the AO at 2km up I got points for participating in the AO even though I didn't fire a single shot at that AO.  I don't know if this is intentional or not but it wasn't in the previous version so I thought I'd mention it. 
Some potentially interesting stuff from my RPT:

NEW
1. Added reward point values chart to map diary. Reward points are modified by the difficulty setting, and also by the skill level of the unit killed, so this may not be consistent from game to game, but is rather a base value.
TWEAKS
1. Overhaul of opforAwarenessDaemon script to improve performance.
2. Increased readability of dynamic text on map (spotted vehicle time codes, player titles, vehicle despawn and delock timers)
3. Default grenadier loadout for basic NATO: sand tracer magazine changed to black tracer magazine. Default autorifleman for NATO: added 1 tracer 100-round magazine.
4. Removed Secure Intelligence Documents subobjective as wonky
5. Added more vests to Western Arsenal
6. Tweaks to enemy CAS support
7. Overhauled enemy reinforcements code for performance and minor errors
8. Tweaked position / distance / opacity for in-world player name tags, especially for wounded players. Wounded players will now be visible up to 200m. Your squad mates are visible up to 60m. Other non-wounded team members are visible up to 20m.
FIXES
1. Underbarrel-launched smoke grenades were bouncing contrary to intended behaviour.
2. Fix to cleanup script accidentally removing non-dead vehicles.
3. VIPER crew able to fly CAS helicopter alone, fixed, requires full crew in helicopter
4. Fixes to reward point donation.
