@Geb 
 

Sorry to hear Mario, I can understand and wish you a good time and hope to see you ?, I mean back again ?

The time has come for me to say goodbye for this awesome community! im simply running out of time and i need to take long brake from gaming atleast until summer.
special thanks to @Lindi for good times and making me feel young again. thank you @Xwatt @Geb @Stanhope @Norris @Patrik_swe and even @TheScar for random what just happened moments it was nice to play with you, i wish you best luck and good times on server!
 
@Ryko Goodjob with IA4, you have spent so many hours to create something new and because of that i have to salute you!
 
And for rest of the community, thank you all! ❤️

I have investigated the reports given here against Mario, and have found them to be inconclusive. I have messaged the reporter and have recieved no response, therefore this is deemed invalid due to lack of any evidence and a lack of supporting claims.
 
Thread Locked,
 
- Xwatt

Here is the modset we are going to start with: 

Version 035 of I&A 4 is on server now and undergoing testing.  We'll be doing another Alpha Test on Friday (1800GMT)
 
Change log:
1. Tweaks to compass direction (vehicle direction if driver, player / gunner direction in other cases)
2. CSAT Xi'an added to vehicles whitelist for co-pilot allowance; base default Xi'ans now spawn unarmed. Reward Xi'ans spawn armed.
3. Removed Scout version of the Nyx from Independent OPFOR vehicles.
4. Only non-incapacitated players now considered for medical alert (players nearby who could revive you).
5. Fixes to destroy cache mission.
6. Tweaks to soldier blue force tracking (should stop it from disappearing randomly).
7. Players not in your group will now show name and rank tags within 30m. Players in your group, this range is 200m.
8. Fix for ground vehicles excluding gunners ('Co-pilot disabled on this vehicle')
9. Added automated team-kill sanction measures (three strikes rule).
10. Tweaks to medical actions (should get reward points for revives?)
11. Restored ability of zeus players to remove players from group roles in squad management.
12. Removed admin notification of player suicides, as no easy way to detect between manual respawn or just bleeding out.
13. Add night vision goggles to all default loadouts.
14. UAV operator now has access to artillery computer.
15. Removed RANDOM button from Arsenal.
16. Tweaks to OPFOR awareness, after calling in support, OPFOR units will return to patrol waypoints after dealing with threats.
17. Added automatic parachutes to air vehicles (if you jump out of a helicopter, you'll automatically get a parachute; your backpack will be restored when you touch down).
18. Revised arsenal. Suppressors and bipods are now reward-purchased items. Slight limit on weaponry as you can purchase additional weapons with reward points.
19. Added weapons and gear purchase functionality to reward menu.
20. Fix for donating points to group leader.
21. Added reward-purchased deployable ammo box functionality with faction-specific box loadouts.
22. Added first version of AI Buddy (purchased with reward points)
23. Secondary missions: extended timeout to minimum 25 minutes, plus an extra 5-10 minutes. Also, first person detected by enemies in the secondary AO will trigger a bonus 10 minute extension.
24. Added new secondary missions: destroy enemy artillery pieces and destroy tank platoon.
25. Added remote designator backpack to Spotter class.
26. Default quad bikes set to faction type.
27. Time multiplier changed to default 6x, parameter option for 12x.
28. Completely removed Freedom / Liberty / +turrets for AAF
29. Added flavour rifles at Arsenal tables.
30. Main AOs that have civilians now also spawn civilian vehicles; some on roads, some in garages (if there are any garages).

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain   I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way   Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption   I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way   Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way   I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing   To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way   For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way   Yes, it was my waaaaaay!                                     That being said,by the day of Wednesday the 12/11 i ll be back to work. Vacation is over and you may have EU1# back in peace and filled with nubcakes without having to endure me choking the last quench of AI out of EU1# 24/7 Vivat !    
  *walks off in dustcloud smiling*

Been a while nice to be back in action on EU1.

The thrustmaster T16000M has the rudder flap thing and yes it works, but the pedals do feel a lot more comfortable and do give a better accuracy IMHO.

Ahoy Members,
 
This is just a brief update on what's been happening internally and externally in AhoyWorld.
 
First, I would like to thank you all for the kind words regarding the change over.
It certainly has been an eventful few weeks. There has been a lot of discussions involving finances, staff structure, activity and how we can improve upon them.
First change I'd like to announce is how the staff structure is displayed: this will clarify the roles of each member and make easier to know who reports to who.
 
 
We will keep this updated here:
As you can see, there are positions available that we are looking to fill.
 
---
 
Second change made is how we as staff communicate.
 
We've been using Telegram for the last few years for business-related chats, quick-fire questions and response and felt that it was time to move on. So without further ado, we have finally decided to migrate over to Discord. 
We felt that by doing this we could better accommodate you guys which should help us engage and interact with our members more. Being a gaming platform, hopefully it will expose and grow AhoyWorld again.
 
You're all more than welcome to click the banner below:
 
https://discordapp.com/invite/z5k8R3H
 
Please bear in mind that this will be a TEXT chat only and not a replacement for TeamSpeak.
 
---
 
Now's also a good time to confirm something we teased a few weeks ago: Invade & Annex 4.
We have been hard at work developing the sequel to Invade & Annex, rewriting the mission from scratch with an emphasis on efficiency and security, meaning more fps and (hopefully) less hacking. We'll be running an open beta test in the near future, so stay tuned.
 
And lastly, I would like to take a moment to thank all the staff for their hard work behind the scenes, especially @Ryko for his rigorous testing and development of I&A4 and @GhostDragon for maintaining the back end stuff to making sure that you all have a smooth and enjoyable experience within AhoyWorld.
 
That's all for now, we look forward to seeing you on our various virtual battlefields.

key is back on server should be working from the next server restart
