Excerpt from the article:

>Arma 3 hails people of every flavor from all over the world. To get to know them a little better, we're hosting a series of mini-interviews with some of our amazing community members. These aim to give you a personal insight into their backgrounds, why they got into Arma, and how they typically experience the game. In this issue, we interview community member and content creator Chewie.

I’m not the developer of this mod, but it looks super interesting, so I thought I’d share this video walkthrough.

Finally we can light up the night with the new addition of flares! Woohoo! Other new features were also implemented, such as Ai commanding and helicopter weaponry, but such light news pale in contrast with the shine the flares (I had been brightly hoping for this since week 2, jeez)

As my contribution to our Arma community, here is a screenshot I made using Gcam and the Global Mobilization CDLC.

Let's see what everyone else has got

I had a 6600XT before this and i just wasn't happy with performance of the card. I had memory crashes constantly. I was worried that Arma 3 may not run properly because it is an older game. But my worries were unfounded.

The moment I started it up and hopped in game, the performance was buttery smooth. ZERO skipping and tearing. and with all the graphics cranked to the max I still got pretty good performance. if I wanted smooth framerate however i did have to crank the ani aliasing down from 16 to 8. But other than that, everything was set to ultra nightmare performance. And it ate it up.

The card I bought was the ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 16GB. I got it for 399 CDN. (294.86 US Dollar) And its a solid over built card. Even when playing Cyberpunk 2077 the card rarely went above 60 degrees.

So from me it's a solid recommendation.

We now get to enjoy birds, insects, and beautiful ocean waves, as well as navigable hiking trails - just like in Dayz. Plus a new power plant, murals, and a bajillion other small things. The new power plant is also likely related to the full electric network referenced in the old roadmap, which I am personally looking forward to. Still hope we get illumination flares soon.

Hi all! I'm super glad to be among the first posters in the Arma community on Lemmy!!

So, straight to the point: I've been running a dedicated Antistasi server for a few months now and am looking to recruit a few additional folks to play with us. Normally it's just me and one or two of my buddies with the occasional fourth, but we'd like to one day see at least 6-10 people online in the evenings to run ops. We've conquered Takistan and Chernarus 2020 already and are currently fielding a Tanoa campaign. I'll drop our details below, feel free to leave a comment here or shoot me a message if you have any questions:

• Vibe: Casual, semi-serious
• Lang: EN
• Timezone: EST
• Active Times: ~20:00 -> 2:00
• Game Mode/Map: Antistasi Plus on Tanoa
