We would like to introduce to you the ACRE mod, in production by various members of the A2 community. The ACRE mod links ArmA2 and Teamspeak3 to create a more immersive environment in which we play in, including positional audio, real radio communications and complete compatibility with the ACE2 ArmA2 project.

We intend to create the most realistic and immersive radio system within the current gaming world; based off of real life experience and knowledge, as well as the use of physical terrain obscuration, radio loss, distortion, and all other considers a real radio operator must make on a daily basis.

We welcome anyone to supply feedback on this cooperative project.

Changes in this new version:

-- 1.0.9 HF1 -- 
* Fixed TS3 crash/hang regression bug
* Fixed failure with API calls
* acre_api_fnc_hasKindOfRadio syntax changed to an array of weapons, not a unit
* Fixed persistant popup of "AddToChannel" ACRE critical error
* Fixed crash issue with version mismatch/upgrade needed messages
* Fixed issue with ace deafness perma muting you
* Fixed a bug with random/sporadic hint's in game saying TS3 isn't connected, when it actually is
* Fixed bug where TS3 would crash when unloading the plugin while someone is talking
* Fixed scripting error when droping radios
* got rid of dummy placeholder for deployable to fix OA pure error

. AN/PRC-117F man pack radio
. AN/PRC-119 man pack radio
. AN/PRC-148 handheld radio

. Integration with all ACE2 man pack radios, using default AN/PRC-119 statistics.

. Real-time 3d positional information

. Signal lose & distortion from buildings, hills, trees, and other objects
. Realistic power output and antenna length considerations for all radios that effect signal
. Realistic frequency wavelength falloff; higher frequencies do not travel as far
. Real-time positional calculation for fast-moving objects

. If a person speaks on their radio and you aren't on that frequency, you can hear them 'directly'

. Hot-swap radio hotkey
. Current radios selection menu
. Pop-up display on broadcast to know current radio in use

. Radios are droppable and maintain ALL settings for anyone who picks them up
. Program a radio and trade it with a player!
. Pick up your dead enemies radio and discover his platoon's frequency

. Normal broadcasting distortion
. Signal lose distortion and noise

. All time critical radio information is communicated via TeamSpeak3, server desync doesn't break ACRE
. Crash/Desync fallback functionality. Sound "anomalies" are no longer possible with lag/desync.
. Optimized distance, terrain, positional and signal calculations
. Use of JayArmA2Lib for Named pipes communication; 0-latency inter-process communication between TS3-ArmA2
. Server side garbage collection of radios to prevent object clutter/long mission lag
. Many fixes for ts3/arma2 crashes, server/mission disconnects
