To all Prairie Fire players!
Another great week to look back on, I was able to go around a whole bunch of public servers and twitch streams. It is great to see so many have fun and talking with you guys offers some great insights! I'm still working on a semi-standardized setup for these newsletters. They will still vary a bit these upcoming weeks. I would really like to read your questions or comments on this newsletter, feel free to reply!

2. Veteran News
Last Wednesday we published the recording of the second SOG veteran Q&A session. It was really unique to have 4 SOG 1-0's and a supporting crew chief in a room to answer questions from our players. Please let us know what your favourite answer / story from the session was!
3. Mike Force News
There currently is a bug in Mike Force that causes the mission not to finish, server admins can wipe the progress of a Mike Force mission by server executing the following command in the debug console:
["CLEAR"] call para_s_fnc_profile_db
Followed by typing #restart in any chat, this will put the mission back to the start! If you have issues with underwater AA or artillery sites you can simply remove them in Zeus without breaking the mission.
In other news, official Mike Force servers 3, 6, 9 and 12 now have a hard requirement to use the Task Force Radio Beta communications mod. If you need any help setting up this mod contact a community helper! All 9 other official Mike Force servers can be played without any mods.
