Nice , thanks for the link i will take a look later .

I run a R9 Fury 4gb and an i5 oc to 4.2 and get around 50 fps but its not solid i see drops that may just be server related . i have freesync between 35/90 fps so when my fps drops below 35 its a little annoying but i will check setting and see how i get on .

Getting back to Exile i have not been on there website for awhile do you know what there plans are with updates for the mod is there any happening soon or are they pretty much done with it for now ?

They're still going ahead with up dates.... To be honest, the recent update imo has made the game the best it can be, it will only ever have new content added. It really is amazing.

As for the road map, they've opened it up to community and allowing others modders to use the code.

For example, there's currently a support mod called Exile: Life in the making, which will add no end of possibilities!

This mod imo is the future for Arma.

As for your PC, once you follow that video and try MGT you'll be gobsmacked!

Ok I have finally got round to reinstalling the mod, but launching a game via the A3 launcher (brilliant tool for getting the required mods) takes agaves to load, in fact I'm not actually sure it's even loading, it just sort of hangs on a splash screen. I'm a very impatient guy I have left it 1 minute and Ctrl Alt Del out.
Is it normal for the mod to take so long to load?

Particularly if its your first go yes.

Long ago in a time forgotten you used to have connect to the lobby, select slot and jump in... However this has all been rolled into one now so takes longer.

So yeah, as above, just leave for a little while to start. You'll also likely get a massive amount of lag for the first few mins.

Remember to follow the guide on the last page for optimal settings.

Anybody know how to place doors on the floor?

BigDools · 25 Oct 2016 at 21:14

Can you not place 2 foundation pillars quite far into the ground then place ? As far as I'm aware any walls or doors have to be placed on a building object

Not too sure, was trying to get a door to drop last night with no success... Will try again

Sort of, raising a safe room off the ground, which can only be accessed via a tunnel.... This way players will need to go through 5 concrete doors to get to the room because its raised off the ground Problem is having to run back and fore the car to unload items.... SO

By laying a door on the floor inside the safe room, we can park the car underneath, open the trap door and load directly from the car into the safes!

Never mind... Done, you press 7... Then can rotate it into any angle! AMAZING!

Gutted, the server we use has unexpectedly gone offline and doesn't look to be coming back up! Its a shame because we completed our first raid and despite being carpet bombed by a big bird and being sniped from everywhere, we got in, stole the flag, stole 2 Chinooks, 6 safe contents and made off with 400k..... Was still great fun!

Anyways....

We've now moved to Cherno on the MGT server. They're running the A2OP, which is basically a ground up rebuild of Chernarus. Changes are:

* Practically all buildings now enterable
* New buildings everywhere
* Glass windows are no longer bullet proof
* Windows now smash
* Grass isn't bullet proof

To name a few. For some reason my FPS on there is absolutely amazing!

Are you still on it? I fancy giving it a go.
