Introduce yourself
Re: Introduce yourself
Hello, brand Nazi here. The correct long-form of our name is "Folk ARPS" (pronounced "Folk ... A ... R .. P ... S"), note the space in between words, whilst the correct short-form is "FA" (pronounced "F ... A"). And remember, comrades, brand compliance saves lives (specifically yours)!

So when people keep talking about sweet F A, they're talking about us?

Re: Introduce yourself
Obviously I made a serious naming error when I didn't choose F A Folk.

Re: Introduce yourself
You had me until direct / vehicle channels. But I'll get there.Eagle_Eye wrote:Hello Platypus,
Welcome to Folk ARPS (We always say it with the ARPS). As you say there is nothing better than playing big co-ops with others. If your'e looking for a taste of what were about, we had a great night last night, and there will probably be some nice pics and videos popping up in the After Action Report thread. Sparks usually has a recording of the whole session up at some point. Hope to see you sunday!
Our comms routine is incredibly simple once you get the hang of it. Basically we have 3 channels.
- The in-game arma voice "group" channel is used to talk to you immediate team (usually 5 others). This is usually what we mean by VON, and almost exclusively refers to "group" VON when talking. In the options you can set a push-to-talk button for group only (I use CapsLock)
- The FTLs and Squad leader will communicate in their own teamspeak channel (so HQ/Alpha/Bravo/Charlie have a seperate channel). Team members can use TS for emergency contact reports, but generally this channel is kept quiet for leaders to communicate (I have this bound to a mouse button).
- Finally we use Channel Commander in teamspeak so that different squads can communicate with HQ and each other. There is a forum post on how to set this up, but unless you are at least an FTL its probably not too big a worry. Set it up when you feel comfortable enough to step up in the ranks ( I have this bound to "h").
- One other thing: Generally we use group VON in game, but sometimes it is nice to use direct or vehicle channels (you can switch channels with < and >) I have this ptt bound to right-shift, as its not a commonly used button.

I long for a day when direct channel starts working (of course there's still a possibility that it works, but there's a conspiracy of people making me think it does not).Eagle_Eye wrote:Generally we use group VON in game, but sometimes it is nice to use direct or vehicle channels

Re: Introduce yourself
It works. I've seen it work. But you have to yell at Carson levels of volume for some reason. And if you have push-to-hear active, it mutes Direct along with everything else.boberro wrote:I long for a day when direct channel starts working (of course there's still a possibility that it works, but there's a conspiracy of people making me think it does not).Eagle_Eye wrote:Generally we use group VON in game, but sometimes it is nice to use direct or vehicle channels
