    Sgt Moskal

     

    As a returning member who was previously grandfathered in during the initial standing up period, you will be processed back in at your previous rank of E-5 Sergeant, with a billet of 0372 Critical Skills Operator.

     

    Having already completed all other required courses, you need only successfully complete the range course (both rifle and pistol) in order to qualify for your Marine Special Operator Insignia; now a pre-requisite for those wishing to hold a billet.

     
    S-1 please process Sgt Moskal back in to reserves as requested.
     
    Welcome home Sgt Moskal.

    Great video as always, your comments on the variety of frankly curious scopes made me laugh.

     

    One thing though... whilst you were away, and we deployed here to Afghanistan, training nights have taken on a new aspect.  About half the time we do training as usual, though it will genuinely be training, it'll look and feel like training.  The other half we've been doing "patrol-ops", which I'd describe as 'light operations'.  This session was a patrol-op, not training.

     

    Big welcome back to you - and your videos!

    The Razer software eventually did my head in, after as I said a decade.  Though here I am with my beloved Razer Mamba, my 3rd one, and the software is doing my head in, so I never learn.

     

    My previous keyboard was a Blackwidow, can't complain with the keyboard TBH.  I was considering moving to a Blackwidow Chroma Stealth Tournament, when I switched to the WASD.

     

    I'd recommend the Stealth versions, the non-Stealth keyboards are ludicrously loud.  Sounds like an army of giant ants are attacking your desk.

    I would personally stay away far, far away from this keyboard. It appears from observation that there appears to be some wiring issues with this keyboard. The wiring issues are linked to frequent bad frags.   :P   (I have heard good things about these)

     

    You're not wrong, though for different reasons.  I play with the room lights off, immersion etc plus it's 2-3am, so my keyboard is only illuminated by ambient light coming from the monitor.  This didn't matter when I had a keyboard with illuminated keys - I'd used Razer keyboards for a decade previously - but when I shifted to this non-lit keyboard it caused an awful lot of fumbling in the dark.

     

    As any grown adult will concede, too much fumbling in the dark always results in unwanted shots fired.

    Highly recommend the WASD keyboards.  Not illuminated - and that's the only downside, but mechanical however you want it (i.e. choices, choices), and customised however you want it.  Literally a metric butt ton of customisations.

     

    For example, I have an 88-key custom, with keys coloured in my Chicago Bears team colours (I picked), choice of font style & colours, with Cherry MX Brown switches underneath, a further 0.2mm Red 0-ring on each key to reduce travel.  So pretty specific customisation.

  10. Arsenal not saving but can't load "loadouts"

    in Help Desk

    Posted

    I've found that by creating a loadout without a radio in the communications slot will allow you to save and load said loadout. Worked for me the past few missions.

     

    If this solution works - nice workaround!

     

    Other units are reporting similar things as Crowley has mentioned. I believe I have read that it has to do with the the way TFAR give unique serials to the radios. This should be resolved in a future TFAR release. =)

     

    Makes sense.  Arsenal didn't use exhibit this behaviour, and then suddenly one day out of nowhere it inexplicably started doing it.  Spent many hours trying to find out what I'd put in the init/desc or scipts that was causing it, and never did run the issue down.  Good to hear there's plans to resolve it with the TFAR boys.

    Great video, very funny.  Apart from the emo-ambush at the end, not funny  ;)

     

    You've been hugely appreciated during your time with us, I know we all wish you the very best luck with your next chapter - exciting stuff!  I'm sure you'll ace it.  You'll always be welcome back here when training & service allows you to be, and we genuinely hope you will find that time.

     

    I certainly do.

     

    I was about to close with, "Semper Fi, virtual Marine", then I realised you're a virtual seaman.  Insert jokes here.  :D

    If you haven't already discovered the root of your framrate problems, I'll wager now you're running an NVIDIA card and you updated to the latest 375.86 drivers.  They be broken, and robbed me of 30-40 FPS in Arma, Division, GTA to name but a few.  I rolled back to 375.70 and hey presto all my framerate returned.

    Much as with SSgt Spencer's videos, these are invaluable for observation and correction.  For example, I had no idea the MK V weapon systems were clearly as borked as they are.  I'll be factoring that in going forward.

     

    Question, when you were pulling your carbine up to the telescopic scope (as opposed to the red dot), did you realise you were in the 'zoomed out' 1X position, as opposed to the zoomed in 4X position?
