here comes the .pbo 1944 mission
I don’t know the server config for ace3 and acre2 , but let’s start the clients with it. we will have to wait for Freghar to upload the template.
I’ll be there in 10-13 minutes, shower required.
Aside from technical server issues (discussed elsewhere), some of my notes from the testing:
- some fonts seem to be broken / miniaturized - ACRE2 bottom-right GUI, but also currently selected/remaining ammo ie. airplanes (as well as airspeed) - this may or may not be because of the IF Lite version
- reduced textures (Lite) everywhere - even PiP of scopes, making originally sharp aiming cross very blurry
- transparency problems - explosions are yellow/red-ish on black background, smoke white-ish on black background – in both cases, the background should have been transparent - this is an issue for rapid firing weapons (ie. some mounted machineguns) because you can’t see where you’re shooting
- little to no recoil (mentioned already, hopefully fixed sometime in the future)
- sturdy planes (maybe realistic) - I unloaded hundreds of heavy rounds into a plane literally 10 meters behind us (from a bomb plane’s rear twin machinegun) and it just made it smoke a little
- no visible tank destruction state (as mentioned before) - destroyed tanks look like new
None of these are "blockers", the game seems well playable, though.
Even with full textures, this is the case.
There is one forum to follow which is probably the closest and most up-to-date :
Forum is lead by Gunther S., who is also the lead for Tactical Battlefield. As the guys over there seem to have already run 4 test sessions with IFA3, and I know they are in close contact with (ex?) members of the Iron Front A3 conversion team, this is the one page to follow. Because without interest, the project is not going to be resurrected, it was already put on a sidetrack end of last year.
I know for instance that an @IF_Extra addon exists, only made available to TacBF through bitsync. I don’t know if it provides correction or a few more assets, but things are moving. People are also talking about an ‘Uber’ version in preparation, but I haven’t followed up on the stand of this.
I personally gathered this information by simply browsing the internets, but I’ll be honest, I have no time to pick up the liaison work, which would be to report bugs and push along with the other interested communities on that forum. So I just throw out this message without looking at anybody… :roll:
There’s also a repository with newer stuff (2015-07-17 compared to our 2014-12-27), but I presume building the mods from source could be pretty challenging. If you manage it, feel free to share the howto/files. 
edit: nevermind, the above is for full IF, the lite is already distributed 1.13, which is what we already use, https://dev.withsix.com/projects/lib-issue-tracker/wiki/IFA3_LITE_manual_install
So what about another mission? Thursday, 30th of July?
Updated repo and mods as the #1 post of Iron Front (lite) mod - server & arma3sync repo
Sounds good to me. Make a thread and poll to get the numbers in along with links to the appropriate iron front discussion/installation forums.
