Arma 3 Integration

Connect Arma 3 to the Sonoran Radio desktop overlay with physical towers, inventory radios, and optional AI hearing.

The Sonoran Radio Arma 3 integration connects an Arma mission to the Sonoran Radio desktop overlay. Signal towers affect radio quality, inventory items can select team-specific radio frames, and an optional setting lets nearby AI detect players while they transmit.

CBA_A3 is required. TFAR and ACRE are not required.

Sonoran Radio does not add an in-game radio menu or a Y keybind. Players use the Sonoran Radio desktop app and its Overlay tab beside Dispatch for radio controls.

Features

• Signal towers placed in Eden or Zeus
• Three stock Arma tower models and invisible signal-only repeaters
• Configurable range, dish capacity, power, destruction, with terrain attenuation
• Automatic signal degradation in the desktop overlay
• BLUFOR and OPFOR inventory radio items
• Custom Arma item-to-desktop-frame mappings
• Optional AI hearing while transmitting
• SQF APIs for scripted missions and custom inventory systems

For shared controls and hotkeys, see Radio Overlay.

Community-wide controls

Bridge use, signal integration, and AI hearing are configured only in Community Customizations → Game Integrations → ARMA 3. They default to enabled. Mod version 0.3.3 or newer removes the old CBA settings and in-game overrides.
