UPDATE: 3/7/2017
Additional content added since I have been getting an influx of these specific problems:
Memory Could not be written error:1. Make sure this is your current file path; "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3"
1.a. If you need to move your arma3 files, DO NOT DRAG AND DROP to a new location. It will break the pointers steam has to arma3 and when you go to launch the game, steam will say it is not installed. Instead do the following. Right click Arma3 and go down to properties. Select Local Files from the top tabs and click Move install folder. See image below for reference.Comment: Yes, you can make an additional x86 file in another directory, but let's just keep it simple. Also technically, Arma3 still runs as 32bit but the ram...you know what never-mind, no one ever cares about my technical rambling.
2. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to do some file surgery. Follow the file path below:
C:\Users\(your account name)\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\(Arma3 username)\Saved\mpmissionsIn that folder should file various folders like Exile.Altis, Exile.Tanoa, etc et al. Delete them all. This will cause you to re-download the MP mission file when you join the server, creating a new file.
Comment: Sometimes your steam will not recognize that the mp mission file changed, so when you try and connect with a wrong mp mission you will crash out with a memory error.
CBA mods disappearing from Arma3 launcher:
Comment: When Steam updates content pointers can be broken, but that doesn't mean the file is gone. Don't download it again and waste precious HD space!1. Launch Arma3, go into the mod manager and click +Local Mod.
2. Follow the file path in the image above, select 107410 or whatever file is in content and the mods will reappear.
-
Moral of the story:
Sam gets a date, it only took a zombie apoc.Jk.
Keep it up! -
Because we run multiple mods, someone would have to go into every file and parse through hundreds of lines of text. I think the best plan if you wanted that info, is to pull the names of the mods off the server data. IE CUP for example. Then go to the Cup Wiki, which would have all the values listed already for you.

Preface: I am a bit of a fanboy for star citizen so my opinion is heavily biased.
Game:
The game itself is probably the most hyped up game ever. It tries to tackle so much and if it is all fulfilled it will be the largest most complex fps/mmorpg space sim game ever. The game developers actually hired a team of physicists just in order to properly mimic the movements of spacecraft and planets. Some of the facets are just mind boggling, like insurance on vessels for example. Try hard to not blindly jump onto the hype train like I did, it has been years of waiting.
Content thus far:
The game is still alpha, currently it is at 2.5 with 2.6 being released in the coming months. 3.0 is the stated benchmark for its official release. Right now there is a semi-persistent universe that gives a small glimpse into the game, progress gets reset every dot patch however. Flying and combat in that game is amazingly fun and complex. You don't just fly, you have to spend time learning the unique sub systems of each craft and power constraints for example.
Appeal:
The game is like Eve wrapped in a FPS, multi-crewed ships, specialized ships and etc that according to devs will literally let you do anything you want. You can make money bounty hunting, charting and exploring the galaxy and even mining as well. Not to mention the FPS shooter portion that will allow boarding of other ships.
General Opinion:
The game already imo, has tackled so much more then any other game to date. However, you have to take in account the games slow development. -

Welcome to the community, glad to have you.
In regards to the fuel values, they are hard coded. We cannot change them without changing the mod itself. You can contact an ArmaIII Admin about having an vehicle swapped. In short, for example, that Gorgon you have in this example has multiple variants. There is probably a variant with a larger fuel capacity.

Tom Clancy’s The Division™
==================================================
With the launch of 1.4, The Division has gone through leaps and bounds from what is was 1.0. Exploits and hacking have been addressed, the game is totally different and re-balanced. In light of that, I am likely going to be playing that a lot more. If you are interested in creating an OGG group there, post here and we can start organizing.

BE WARNED ADJUSTING LAUNCH PARAMETERS IS AN "ADVANCED" SKILL SET, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY
INTENT:
My goal is to help users on this server increase FPS on the server and increase their knowledge base about their home computers.
CONTENT:
1. Understanding RAM versus hard-drive space and virtual ram
2. Why you should increase virtual ram
3. How to adjust virtual ram
How is RAM used
===========
RAM is not your storage medium, so you cannot manually delete anything to free it up. RAM instead is a temporary storage location like your desk's work surface, which if it's cluttered with tools, papers, and other items (in other words, open applications or system add-ons) will be harder to organize and use.
How the Hard-drive is used
=================
Unlike RAM, which is the work space of the system, the hard drive is like the filing cabinet, drawers, and other storage locations of a desk where tools and papers are stored when not used. If the cabinets of your desk are already nearly full, it will be harder to stuff items in there without moving things around and constantly reorganizing.
How Virtual Ram on the Hard-drive is used.
===========================
Virtual memory on a computer can be best compared to a pull-out drawer in a desk that is easy to access but can be pushed out of the way of your main work space, and is used by the computer to temporarily store RAM contents that are loaded but not currently in use.
Why should you increase virtual ram.
===========================
When the system is low on RAM (work space) the system will make more use of virtual memory to free up the work space and allow other applications to open and load more documents. Even when the system does not need to use a lot of RAM, it still makes use of virtual memory in order to keep the work space tidy and organized. Increasing virtual ram in effect would increase your work space and decrease bottle necks throughout your system. It is a good rule of thumb to reserve 10% of your hard-drive for virtual ram.
=================
How to adjust virtual ram
=================
Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
Type performance > choose Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
In the new window, go to the Advanced tab and under the Virtual memory section, click on Change.
At the bottom of the new window, check what the Recommended value is and how it compares to Currently allocated.
If the current setting is significantly less than the recommended, uncheck the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives box at the top of the same windows and then click on Custom size.
Enter the Recommended value in the Initial Size box, and a larger figure in the Maximum size box. Remember to click set to save changes before clicking OK and then restart when prompted to enable changes.

If you track your utilization and frames, the moment missions like black market and general's fob load onto the map your cpu usage skyrockets and your frames dump. I suspect this is due in part to the packet transfer rates the server is on. The same can be said when friendly ai aircraft fly over in view/render distance.
You can force your computer to mem dump on the server currently. Park two cheetahs next to each other and have them begin firing. You can stand there and watch your frames dump and utilization skyrocket to the point where assets begin to fail to load.
Point being there is a major disconnect atm with how the server is sending and receiving packets. This boils down to facets like how the server is set up, priorities if the server is virtual, and et al.
The mission file doesn't seem large enough to be causing this problem, unless there is an erroneous mod in the mission file that is running an error and continually using server ram to create dump files of error logs.
X's work to reduce total ai on the server at any given time seems to have helped. Leading me to believe that it is infact a server utilization issue.
We can further refine this by implementing the ai reserve mechanics seen at the golden ketch mission. Where only X amount of ai is loaded at mission start but will continue to spawn ai as another one dies until value Y is met.
However this is of course only a temporary solution.
It would be smart imo to drop RHS and HLC entirely as it is not well supported. We could replace this with the complete cup lineup of vehicles,weapons,aircraft and et al. Cup is a known stable mod that meshes well, the steam support would be a godsend to those experiencing .dll errors.
However this of course would mean we loose some of the unique weapons from RHS. In addition HLC is outdated, its assets and files have been taken over by another mod group. HLC is from what I have read no longer going to be a definite supported mod on Apex's future. NIarms superceeds it, keeping HLC would just become a burden in the long run.

@RobertWalker
Here is the Arma3 Bohemia community page on .dll https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Custom_Memory_Allocator
I have no experience with them, I know Tylor uses a custom ttb malloc.
Right now I am testing a new string you are welcome to try it.
I am using: -nologs -cpuCount=4 -nosplash -exThreads=7
So far, I have noticed upfront that without forcing a specific System Ram and Vram utilization I cannot run my game at 3k/3k view distance. I experience too much throttling and stuttering from the CPU jumping up and down in utilization. However, with this current string I notice that at 1.5-2k it is a lot more stable in terms of rapid frame loss. However this could also be due to X's recent work on the server.
False advertisement!
