IronMike Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) NOTE: This guide has been thoroughly updated, so that the number of mods that you need for most milsim missions and server is kept to an absolute minimum. Also, arma 3 sync isnt used in this guide anymore. instead we use the arma launcher to manage mods. by that you can subscribe most mods in the steam arma workshop, which means they update themselves, get downloaded with steam dl speed and you dont have to do anything, but a) click subscribe, and once installed b.) click load. A few you will have to download yourself and add manually to your launcher mod list. You should still keep arma 3 sync, as some milsim groups will have you download their mods for a particular mission through the "repositories" tab in arma 3 sync. We had one on our old forums and so you shall have one on our new forums - for those who I promised, sry for the long wait, but many things changed in Arma 3 and having had more than 100 mods, we needed to clean out some, so that the list wouldnt be overwhelming any more (as it already is).Apart from that, I guess, if you really want to go through the trouble, holla at me and I will show you some mindblowing missions with realistic scenarios. But mainly you will enjoy Arma on a whole other level, you'll have deployments all over the world, from the jungle, the desert to the northest russian islands in a winter snow blizzard. If you are into Arma, it is almost a must! And the best missions out there all run these or some of these mods.So, how do you install mods with arma 3 sync? Watch this video: your folder structure should always look like that: C:/program files(or equivalent)/steam/steamapps/common/arma 3/@modname/addons/modfiles.pbo Here it goes, the mighty list of Arma 3 Mods (the very good ones):First we will start with the list of mods that you have to load manually and the tool to manage them without the launcher:ArmA3Sync - Mod Launcher http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22199 NEEDED:diverseTask Force Radiohttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23615ASDG Joint Railshttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23242MightyGAUhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28139MapsFatahttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22057Afghan Villagehttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24232Falluhjahttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12315VehiclesGlobemaster C17http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25090F/A-18 - RealSound Modhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24551DAR HMMWVhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25753WeaponsRH M4/M16http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23277RH ACChttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28057Main FactionsRHS UShttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27149RHS RUShttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27150RHS GREFhttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=30998download RHS mods best from here, including their auto updater.

IronMike Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) And here are two more useful guides: How to install mods that use a userconfig file (important for manually downloaded mods, otherwise some of them dont work, that is, those that require a userconfig. if you download them you will find a userconfig folder with the mods subfolder. place that subfolder in your arma's userconfig folder.)http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29755 How to download mods through a repository link from a milsim group (the bigger ones you might play with offer these). The guide is in german, but the pictures really explain it all. On the right side you can choose which mods you want to download (click play), those in red are new or missing, so to be downloaded, those in black you have, those with an exclamation mark have changed files, so to be downloaded. Note that this method can be used with arma 3 sync only.http://www.tactical-network.de/smf/index.php?topic=284.0 Edited November 4, 2016 by IronMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
