How to Install TFAR Radio in Arma 3

​

Advanced Comms: TFAR Setup

Task Force Arrowhead Radio (TFAR) is the global standard for immersive Milsim communication. It forces player voice chat to respect distance, terrain occlusion, and radio frequency channels by bridging the game with a TeamSpeak 3 plugin.

​

Core Requirements

1. Server Mod: You must load @task_force_radio (Beta version 1.0+ recommended) in your startup parameters.
2. Client Plugins: Every player must have the specific TFAR plugin installed in their TeamSpeak 3 client.
3. Voice Server: You need a hosted TeamSpeak 3 server to handle the audio traffic.

​

Server-Side Configuration

1. Configure Local: Launch Arma 3 with TFAR/CBA. Go to Options > Addon Options.
2. Tweak: Set your radio ranges, terrain interference, and frequencies under the TFAR - Global tab.
3. Export: Click Export and save the output.
4. Apply: Paste this output into your server’s userconfig/cba_settings.sqf file. This forces every connected client to use your simulation settings.

​

TeamSpeak Integration

1. Create a channel on your TeamSpeak server named literally: TaskForceRadio.
2. Ensure the channel password matches the one defined in your addon settings (default is usually empty or 123).
3. When players join the game server, the plugin will automatically move them from the “Lobby” to the “TaskForceRadio” channel to begin the 3D audio simulation.
