I would like some help about how to get into AWE(join,and what mods do you need etc.)

This should help you.

Hello peeps
I've been knocking about on EU1 since the early days of ArmA3 but have been playing the franchise since OpFlash, I finally decided to join the forum after a couple of incidents I was involved in earlier today.  Not being sure of the best place to ask some questions I thought I'd say hello here and see if I get any replies from those in the know.
Firstly I hope Chicken sees this as I told him this afternoon that I'd revenge killed someone which I know is not a good thing, so I'll just say that the guy in question had taken my vehicle and run me down with it when I tried stopping him, after a nice man revived me and I tried relocating, the perp then started to shoot the vehicle so I turned about and ran him down. Enough said on that.
What I am interested to know if someone can tell me is what is the score with the black screen which I got after an accidental TK later on, I've not seen that before and was surprised to see it after just 2 TKs when I see so many people doing so many more.  It was unfortunate that I was beside a factory that got demolished while I was black screened and confused which caused someone else to get a TK.  Does this always happen after 2 TKs? also how many TKs does it take for someone to get banned?
Thanks for reading this and I hope someone can offer some constructive answers.
Cheers Timo

Map Basics & Land Navigation
--- --- ------ --- ------ --- ------ --- ---
Military Grid Reference System
Often, an easy place name is unavailable or a description is too ambiguous, or in fact the party you’re talking to is unfamiliar with the terrain. That’s when you can use grids as a common denominator. Every Arma map has them and they work the same way everywhere.
 
Grids resolve smaller scales the more digits they have. They range from 2-digit, 10 km area grids to 6-digit, 100-metre-accurate positions on an unaided map. Using tools like the MicroDAGR GPS and Vector 21, you can go down to the metre with 10-digit grids, for those times you want to send a JDAM through a window. Most commonly, you will be giving the 6-digit figure.
 

 
So how do you get there?
“Along the corridor, up the stairs.”
 
Your 0-0 point starts in the bottom left corner of the map. From there, you first move sideways to the right along the easting (conventionally bottom) edge to your desired location. This is your east-west position.
 
Then you move up along the northing (or side) edge to finalise the point. This second half is your north-south position.
 
You give this point as a series of digits, called figures. Our flag marker is in grid figures 103-047, but only just.
 
For precision, you can imagine overlaying another grid on any 6-digit grid to get the 8-digit figures. That would put our flag in grid figures 1034-0479.

Scale, Elevation & Contour Lines
The forgotten bottom right of your map shows this:

 
This dynamic hint adjusts to your map zoom level and hands you three pieces of info:
Crucially: the contour interval, which tells you the elevation difference between adjacent contour lines (it's in CAPS, so you know it's important)
The unit of elevation of the numbers you find scattered across the map
A linear scale for measuring distances at each zoom level
 
Using the second bit, we can find hills and valleys at their highest and lowest. You will often hear hills called out as “Hill 123”, which is your cue to look for this elevation number nearby.
However, sometimes you need to know the elevation of a point not specified as such. This is where contour lines help you out.
 

 
Mind our flag marker. To find out where it is, we first look around and find the nearest elevation number. Let’s say 44, east of it.
Then we look at the surrounding elevation numbers and see in which direction they increase or decrease. In this case, they decrease towards the east, meaning east is downhill, and increase west where our marker is, so our flag is uphill from 44.
 
Using the contour interval from our bottom right key, we can simply count the contour lines between 44 and the marker. At this zoom level, each line means we climb 2 metres in elevation. Everything enclosed by two lines is at the same elevation. There are two lines between our reference and the flag, so it’s at 48 metres MSL (= above sea level).
 
The light grey building by the road is one more contour line up at 50 m, but then the next line is a darker colour. Every fifth contour line is higher-contrast, so at this scale, every dark line signals 10 metres of elevation difference from the last. If our scale were 5 m per contour line, each dark line would be 25 m.
 
From here we can discover the second useful property of contour lines: slope gradients.
 
The more space between each line, the gentler the slope. The tighter the lines are together, the steeper the slope. So we can tell: north-east from our flag is a mild downhill, but it becomes a steeper climb the further we go south.
When you see a lot of dark lines packed closely, for example, you are looking at a sheer drop.

Triangulation
Triangulation is finding your position using two (or three) distinct points. Lacking GPS or local knowledge, triangulation is your quickest chance to get your literal bearings and create a reliable, ever-evolving foundation to navigate from.
 
The tools you’re going to need:
- Compass
- Map
- Map tools (ideally)
 
Scenario 1: Stranded
 
 
Scenario 2: Organising Support
 
 
Map Tools: Bonus

Welcome to AW

I have been playing on the invade and annex server for quite a while with a pausee of about 3 months and play it now regulary! You see me ingame as Master but also can call me Jonathan or John. I mostly play my role as a Helo or Jet pilot and I really enjoy it! eventhough I sometimes crash my Helo by being stupid, im pretty good at flying! Hope to see you on the Server and have a great day!

We have been hard at work to create an exciting in-house game mode that is set to replace Liberation. It will feel familiar, but different in intriguing ways. Care to find out? Join us for the Grand Reveal this Friday!

If you would like to lead, signing up will give us and you a chance to organise plans and manage expectations! Every slot is still open and available for join-in-progress.
 
Situation
Russian airborne forces (VDV) have occupied the island of Malden. We have been deployed as a task force to secure a beachhead for further operations; however, initial supplies are limited. 
Resistance to the invasion is as yet undecided, since the take-over seems to have happened swiftly and softly. We must not let their favour slip away.
 
Friendly forces
British Armed Forces, Combined Arms, Task Force Platoon
1x 3-man HQ (CMD, RTO, UAV)
3x 9-man Rifle Squads
1x 3-man Fire Support Group
1x 3-man Vehicle Crew
2x 2-man Air Crew
1x 2-man Logistics  
 
Independent forces
-
 
Enemy forces
The Russian VDV is a highly organised, regular force suspected to have access to these assets:
Regular infantry
Motorised and mechanised transport
Armour
Rotary-wing aircraft
Fixed-wing aircraft
 
Reconnaissance has identified key locations serving as radio communications facilities to sabotage or capture. Reports of quick-response Forward Operating Bases as well as supply depots around the island are also coming in. 
 
Mission
Gain a foothold and fortify our FOB. Capture strategic objectives. Establish favourable relations with the local populace.
 
Execution
At CMD’s discretion.
Section cohesion is of utmost importance. The enemy outnumbers us greatly and will not hesitate to exploit gaps in our situational awareness.
Counter-attacks and a general resistance to our efforts will ask for quick shifts in our tactics.
 
Admin / Logistics
Reinforcements are unlimited and directed by CMD. Resupply is CMD’s prerogative.
Enemy prisoners of war (POW) are to be treated well and brought to base for questioning.
 
Command / Signal
Operations and ground control lie solely with the Platoon Commander. The RTO handles air traffic and can supplement communications.
Squad leaders are responsible for the operational effectiveness of their teams.

If you get deeper into it, @Stanhope is the guy to ask about setting Visual Studio Code up for it even though he doesn't like VSC, as it provides a neater development environment than Notepad++

Hi everyone,
 
I'm Gauthier. In game you'll find me as Skipp.
 
I play a lot of milsim and recently got all passionate about arma 3. You can find me on Squad, DCS and Wargame red dragon.
 
I'm happy to join a nice community and help everyone have fun casually or more seriously when needed.

Evening all, I've played I&A3 on and off for a while now, but Uni and a slightly terrible laptop have put a stop to that since summer. However I'm now home, and have a new laptop (on which ARMA is downloading on as I type!)
 
I know I met some of you last night, but I'm looking to get a bit more active!
(If you do need to refer to me, I'll respond fine to either 'Possibly', or 'EOD', but the second can get a little confusing in some ops!)
