VCOM is currently live on the I&A servers. The Public Moderation Team is closely observing the mod on the server to gather an idea of the performance and stability impacts it may have on our servers.
 
WHAT IS VCOM?
 
Vcom is a serverside mod that aims to improve the vanilla AI combat abilities. It attempts to create a more dynamic and challenging environment compared the traditional AI battles in Arma 3. Vcom impacts a variety of skills that the AI carries and enhances these to create a more dynamic and challenging experience.
 
Features Include:
 
- Increased AI accuracy and Player Suppression
 
- Enhancement of AI communication
 
- AI use cover more extensively
 
- AI avoid areas of heavy fire and that their buddies have fallen in
 
- Improved Flanking
 
- Enhanced AI Suppresion
 
- Increased Weapon Utilization
 
- AI use of Mines and Explosives
 
-  Improved Garrisoning
 
-  Improved Formations
 
DO I NEED TO INSTALL ANY MODS?
 
You do not need to install any additional mods or addons to gain the benefits of Vcom. It is a serverside mod therefore seperate mod installation is not needed by users. You can connect and play as you normally would.
 
 
We hope you can give us as much feedback as possible with the introduction of Vcom, as our end goal ultimately is to enhance the enjoyment and gameplay for our community. We feel the Vcom mod does this as it offers a more dynamic experience than what the AI can offer in Vanilla Arma.
 
 
We hope you take this change on board and all feedback is appreciated,

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!

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

 

3.2.9 is ready and should be live soon™. 
Changelog as follows: 
General Changes
- [added] Respawnable transport van at base
- [added] Side mission reward: service van
- [tweaked] Arsenal blacklist
- [tweaked] Tweaked side mission code
- [tweaked] Various under the hood tweaks
- [tweaked] Random loadouts of vehicles tweaked
- [tweaked] Tweaked all the priority missions code
- [fixed] several behind the screen bugs
- [fixed] hint spam at militia camp mission
- [fixed] spelling mistakes in search and rescue mission

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

 

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.

I wholeheartedly agree that this MUST be an effort from everyone in the community. It cannot and should not be left to official, designated means. We should all muck in together with enabling new community members develop their skills; as this is the only way we can as a group of players, achieve this collective goal.

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
