Modpack Smoke Hotfix

Submitted by Fourjays on 5th September 2015 - 09:22

As you know there has been an incompatibility between Blastcore and Arma for a while now, preventing US smoke grenades from properly disappating. However, yesterday we found a community submitted patch on the BI Forums, which Ryan confirmed fixed the problem and is now live on the server. All members will need to download this small (4KB) patch and follow the instructions below to apply the update.

smokecs.zip [Zippyshare.com]

To install the update:

  1. Open the @BWI_BC folder and then addons.
  2. Delete SmokeCS.pbo and SmokeCS.pbo.Blastcore.bisign located in that folder.
  3. Copy the new files, SmokeCS.pbo and SmokeCS.pbo.RYAN.bisign, into that same folder.

Also, if you have not yet done so, please disable the @BWI_L mod in Arma3Sync. The latest Arma 3 patch created an incompatibility with that mod that prevents people from aiming while crouched. To disable it, simply open Arma3Sync and on the right-hand side un-check the @BWI_L folder.

New Flight School & Completed Field Manual

Submitted by Fourjays on 27th July 2015 - 17:32

With yesterday's announcement of the Q3 Modpack Update, Black Watch is taking this opportunity to announce the creation of its very own flight school. This program has been planned for a long time and we feel now is a good time to push forward with it. Members who enroll in the flight school and complete the prerequisite training will get priority for pilot slots in all future ops. If you'd like to know more you can find details on the forums.

The field manual has now been completed, giving current and future Black Watch members details on how we operate. Almost every page has been updated and many new sections have been added, including in-depth information on the new medical system introduced with ACE3.

Finally, the Q3 Modpack Update has now been pushed live to the server. If you have yet to download and install the update, now is the time to do so! You can find details on the new update here.
