You as a military organization could be using Arma as a military training software. It wouldnt be written there if it wouldnt have been done before ;)

By taking this vehicle and using it in Arma 3 missions with the purpose of training military personnel.

I.e You're a soldier of Nation XYZ and decide to practise convoy driving in Arma 3. That is not allowed. That would be in violation of the EULA of Arma 3, and, if you use this particular vehicle to do the training, then of the EULA of this addon too.

Additionally: If you used the addon and put it to use in VBS (That is the explicitly military version of Arma sold to all NATO countries and some others) this would be in violation.

And before you laugh at this: My dayjob is actually developing VBS, and there are a handful of requests per year where customers ask to take community made assets from Arma as part of their training scenarios.

(The best path here would be to sort out a deal with the content creators about licensing the assets for military use in VBS. However, you would need to cut in BISim and probably BI to, as you used one of their tools to create the assets in game-ready state. If you don't: Violation of EULA and, since in these cases actually monetary damages can occur, it could be prosecuted.)

It breaks the EULA of ARMA 3 for sure. But Mods cannot have a EULA save that provided by Steam, Valve and Bohemia (This includes international IP protection, so someon cannot use the assets of the mod for other purposes).

However as soon as a mod is uploaded you full under those laws, you can't curtail your own usage restrictions.

That being said, it's almost all moot as the bulk of them are covered by ARMA EULA anyway.

Cause Bohemia can give permission for millitary institutions to use thier product if they want to. And if that was the case, you're EULA is overruled.

Not trying to stir the pot. It's just reality.

The reality is that Bohemia Interactive a.s (The developers of Arma3) explicitly cannot grant military institutions the use of their product.

Mods can and do have EULAs. BI explicitly encourages this.

anti war cuck

@Islamic State of Gaming: Haji, they're not anti war. They're anti-redistrubuting-our-♥♥♥♥-in-violation-of-Arma's-EULA-and-APL.

Let me provide some background, as I'm familiar with both VBS and Arma 3 as an end user.
I served 14 years in the United States Marine Corps, we occasionally got to perform some simulated training in VBS, not often, but we did.

As our platoon Gunnery Sergent, if we wanted something added into VBS, community content in this case, I would have to file some paperwork requesting that the mod be looked into, and send it up to the Company CO, he would then either reject it, or pass it on to whoever was in charge of hadling these things, they would likely then have to put in a request to BISim and BI, who would also have to contact the Mod author(s), if all were okay with it, it would get ported over to VBS, if not, tough ♥♥♥♥.

Even if they don't allow MIL/LE/GA usage of their mod, frankly we would have been fine without this one particular vehicle. Between Vanilla VBS, RHS, and ACE3/ACRE, we were squared away.

Lastly, why would you be mad if the people you hate can't use this one particular mod for training purposes?

NightbornWolf. It's just children using keyboards. They say stupid, uninformed, childish garbage. Kid has no idea what he's talking about, but he sure is going to share his opinion on it.

I know. But ignorance is the downfall of society.

You guys do realize that Bohemia Interactive has a simulator made for the military right? ArmA 3 is just a commercial product that is based on that simulator.

If you just read the thread, the dev has explained what he's saying and why he's saying it in great depth already.

I did read the thread, but I am still confused since why would the military use this ♥♥♥♥ product when they have a more advance one already.

maybe it's harder to get a hold of? For PMCs for example

The dev is talking about use of this mod in VBS (the military version of Arma). Not the use of Arma itself. But this mod in specific.
