Official SEOW

With the recent move to IFA3 operations in SEOW it is helpful to be clear about what Arma 3 extensions are required. Here is a brief summary of steps. Only the first two steps require purchasing of content, the rest are free. Step 1 - buy Arma 3 Buy the Arma 3 base game on Steam. It will download an...

Hi everyone, I am pleased to announce a new release of SEOW. This is called v8.2 and it includes a new database SEDB82b, a new SEDCS v8.2.0.x, and an updated MP, to be released shortly. The major new functionality in v8.2 is that SEOW now supports operations in IL2/HSFX, in ArmA2 IFA2, and now in Ar...

Yes, indeed! We bought a little farm in the hills. Birds, trees, breezes and views. It's beautiful.

Hi Kopfdorfer, Happy 2026 to you! I suspect you are referring to the "Coop Mod Slot" mod in HSFX. With this mod, you can append 3 lines to any mission file to limit visibility of enemy air slots in the pre-mission seat selection window. Here is an example set of directives for Coop Mod Slo...

In a .mis file every moving ground object has a particular format for their movement waypoints. One parameter is the movement speed (a fixed constant for each vehicle type). This is called Number_Name in Object-Specifications. It is basically the speed of the vehicle in metres per second. For ships ...

Oh you are using BAT.

I don't know much about that system. I suspect it doesn't include the HSFX mods that SEOW can make use of:

1. Chief endpoints
2. Barrage weapons
3. Strategic radar
4. Partial ship damage

Of course, you can run SEOW campaigns without using these features.

The best starting place is here, the Wiki: https://seowhq.net/seowwiki-en/index80e4.html?title=Add_a_new_map:_Data_capture Are you doing what this page says? I am also curious about where you are getting your loadouts from. How come you have found another 16000 loadouts? Are you using HSFX 7.0.3? Ch...

I haven't seen Badger in a while. I think he was playing Battle of Stalingrad at one stage.

Hi Jobbo, Those Excel tools were developed by Dore, IIRC. I have never used them because they arrived after I had stopped capturing maps myself. The answer to your question about whether there is a hard-coded limit to the number of bridges and roads lies inside the Excel macros. Have a look if you c...

OK, this is amusing. A simple error in the Airforce_Units table. By default there are two New Zealand air regiments defined for the Ardennes sector, as follows: NewZealand 24FSquadron 24 (F) Squadron RNZAF PFI Allied rz Ardennes 0 NewZealand 25DBSquadron 25 (DB) Squadron RNZAF PDB Allied rz Ardennes...

The easiest way to find that problem is for you to send me your DB again.

No that's not it. I have found the bug, and it is my fault. Apologies! After code patching, the DCS front page should look like this for you BEFORE you initialise this type of campaign: https://seowhq.net/meta/karl/karldcs.png Note the "Initialization Mode" and "Meta-Campaign Mode&quo...

That has got me stumped. Can you let me download your database, mission file and event log please?

Ok, I see your log file above (maybe you had posted it before, sorry!). It all seems normal.

When you did the DCS Analyse did DCS report any errors? You can also have a look at the ActionData table in the database. That should now contain all the destruction events from the event log.
