Good afternoon all, we are on the lookout for video editors and video contributors to help drive our YouTube channel and other social media platforms forwards. If this is something you feel you might be interested in, please visit either of the two following posts in our Hiring & Advertisements forum to find out more about these roles and to apply. Thank you, AhoyWorld Outreach

Good evening all from the Outreach team. As of today, we have introduced 2 Factor Authentication here on the forums, this is in the form of both Authy and Google Authenticator. With Authy, you can either receive a text message or an automated phone call, with Google Authenticator it requires a QR code scan and a code will appear. It's very easy to set up and we highly suggest that you take advantage of it. Simply click on your name and then "Account Settings", from there click on "Account Security" where you'll need to re-enter your password. From there you will have a choice between Authy, Google Authenticator, or both!

Ahoy, After we have added bornholm to the server we have had a lot of reports that fps is less than adequate and thus we have decided to open it up to a poll to see if the community would like to keep the map or remove it. Thanks, Outreach

After careful review over the past few months, the Staff team - along with Core Staff - have decided to close 2 of our public servers due to low population versus operating costs. We will still have EU#1 and EU#2 active offering both Altis and Malden I&A. We hope this will lead to higher population on these servers,and that we will be able to provide a better game play experience for the players on these If you require any more information please do not hesitate to contact any member of the public moderation team. -AW Outreach.

Intro The objective of this guide is to help the reader understand how the radio devices in TFAR works, we will look at the typical examples of radios in use on AWE but can be applied to any TFAR user looking for a quick start guide, note that this guide does not cover correct communication etiquette. Short Range Radios (UHF) AN/PRC-152 This radio is intended for fire team leaders, Within AWE frequencies are located on the edge of the map in the left corner, they are normally set up correctly as you spawn in. Display The first block (C1) refers to the channel selected. The second block displays the frequency of the channel selected in megahertz (Mhz), you can click this, highlight the numbers and change the frequency, you must use the function button ENT to confirm this input. Function buttons CLR: Clears the current frequency, this button is not really required because you can just highlight the current frequency and press backspace (delete). ENT: Enter. (set frequency) Press this button to confirm what you have written into the frequency box, without pressing this the frequency will revert back to the frequency before you edited it. PRE +/-: This button changes the channel up or down, the primary method of changing channels is done by the number pad on your keyboard. Advanced functions ◄ (arrow left): Set additional channel creates an alternative frequency on the radio that enables the user to multitask their radio. An example might be a fireteam leader may have to communicate to an armoured element whilst maintaining watch on his own frequency. An additional channel is indicated via an A instead of a C in the channel display. ► (arrow right): Speakers, allows you to toggle between headphones and speakers, if you select speakers it means that others can hear the radio device. 0 (): Stereo settings, allows you to choose which earphone you hear the channel on. Note you may also set additional channels up on a different stereo setting to your selected channel. The central rotary knob changes the volume for the device. Numerical buttons - have no function on this device. RF-7800S-TR Intended for squaddie use it does not have any of the advanced functions, it requires a MicroDAGR to be programmable. Best practice is to switch channels using the numberpad on your keyboard Long Range Radios (VHF) AN/ARC-210, (black interface) This radio can be found predominantly in BAF JTAC/FAC backpacks as well as armoured units, aircraft and some transport vehicles. Within AWE you can usually find the frequencies at the edge of the map and also the preset frequencies are correct, to change with the number pad you have to press left control and then a number on your keyboard number pad. The next two interfaces are very similar. Display The first block (CH1) refers to the channel selected The second block displays the frequency of the channel selected in megahertz (Mhz), you can click this, highlight the numbers and change the frequency, you must use the function button FREQ to confirm this input. Function buttons FREQ: Set frequency, same function as ENTer on the UHF radio, you must press this to confirm your entry into the frequency box. ERF: Set additional channel creates an alternative frequency on the radio that enables the user to multitask their radio. An example might be an armoured unit trying to communicate with other units far away and also sticking to the command channel at the same time. STO: Stereo controls which earphone will be used for the selected channel (or additional channel) LOAD: Puts the radio on speaker, this is useful if there are multiple crew working in a vehicle where it may benefit them to hear VHF communications. For example, the passengers of a troop transport can hear the rest of the platoon’s movements and status to gain better situational awareness. CLR: Clears the frequency window. VOL: Controls the overall volume PRESET: Adjusts channel selection, best practice is with ctrl+number pad on your keyboard. RT-1523G (ASIP) (Green interface) Commonly found across the board of VHF communication in an infantry platoon, the buttons are the same as above with the exception of: TIME - increase volume BATT/CALL - decrease volume

Hello everyone! Today we’re super chuffed to announce changes in flow within our staff team and community roles. These changes aim to make assigning roles more flexible at the same time as clearly distinguishing between individual positions, meaning we’ll be able to more directly recognise the merits of those involved, above and beyond kicking and banning troublemakers. Defining the Changes Most prominently, we’re combining Admins and Enhanced Moderators under an umbrella term: Administrator. Within the position of Administrator, each staff member will have different roles depending on their forte and preferences. As it is, AWE Moderators have all the capacities of an admin confined to one server, whereas Admins have powers across all servers despite the massive difference in style moving from I&A to AWE. As such, to work around stepping over boundaries and into unfamiliar territories, domains are now clearly split between the servers and their respective staff. To add to this, we’re broadening our horizons to include non-staff involvement and have that recognized in a flexible, gratifying manner. Mission makers and website developers are no longer in a limbo state between administrator and regular membership. You will be able to see who does what by a variety of tags as displayed on TeamSpeak as well as on the forums. Administrator or Moderator? An Administrator is the position of any member performing a staff role across the site. This can range from ban appeals, website development, ArmA development, moderating and more. A moderator is a specific position that permits an admin to oversee behaviour and conduct on our servers. This will allow them to warn, kick, ban and mediate between players. This does not exclude them from other business, it is just one of many jobs a member of staff can now include in their portfolio. To reiterate: Moderators are no longer specific to AW Enhanced --- We hope our efforts to increase productivity will be reflected in the overall goings-on of AhoyWorld. Any feedback, questions and concerns are very welcome. Cheers AW Outreach & all of Staff

Gauntlet Malden 54 is on the server now and includes the following changes: Changelog for 54_100: 1) New squad management system: complete overhaul of lobby / slots / slot assignment, it's now done in-game and dynamically. Initial stages, more development to follow, but working pretty stably right now. 2) Complete overhaul of friendly artillery support now that BIS module doesn't work correctly, available to PlatCo, ASL / BSL / CSL. Artillery type can be set by mission parameter. 3) Added fast rope addAction for helicopter pilot which automates fast rope process so players are fast-roped sequentially. "Should" prevent player deaths. 4) Some small mission tweaks. Currently available on Malden, will be rolled out to additional maps if squad management concept holds up. Changelog for 54_102: 1) overhaul of squad management interface to hopefully work for non HD resolutions (join button tended to be obscured) 2) artillery should now work (everything worked but the actual firing part) 3) faction vehicles now spawn on the Freedom with mixed results - SU25 planes tend to "roll" away from the spawns 4) Tactical ladder: now only Engineers have access to this item Changelog for 54_103 on Altis, Kerama and Lythium: 1) all large-ish player vehicles will be usable as medical vehicles (no quad bikes, for example); 2) group leaders joining a group will become the group leader on join. In 102 you had to use ace to "become leader" 3) Artillery tweaked again, hopefully this time it actually works

Feedback will now be given within the thread containing the up to date version number.
