## Disclaimer
If you read the Project concept, there is a obvious limitation on using ARMATAK: it converts the Arma 3 Map location to a real world location, so let's use the Arma 3 Vanilla Maps (Altis...) as an examples, whatever the map developer had done different for real life, won't be showed by your TAK client map imagery, and there are MANY changes to be done in Arma 3 maps just for gameplay proposes, even when simulating real locations.
Another thing to consider is that each dedicated server also needs a FreeTAKServer instance, check the [FTS Docs](https://freetakteam.github.io/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/) for more intel. Also, the whole TAK environment is developed to give information for the client, not remove information, so by using ARMATAK, that points to a single FTS instance, you have to assume that every user will be displayed on the TAK platform, even the ones on the other side, and the other side will can connect just by using the same address as the dedicated server, i wish i can have a different approach that could make possible using ARMATAK on PvP sessions, but that is what we have for now.
The TAK ecosystem have a slow learning curve (so does Arma), some channels i recommend is The TAK Syndicate, Dirty Civilian and TRex Labs to start learning, i don't think it's the perfect tool for situation awareness, but is the best tool we have publicly available right now, just remember that you must focus on data feeds, packages, planning and map editing tools, that is what you will use on ARMATAK addon.
1. If you read the Project concept, there is a obvious limitation on using ARMATAK: it converts the Arma 3 Map location to a real world location, so let's use the Arma 3 Vanilla Maps (Altis...) as an examples, whatever the map developer had done different for real life, won't be showed by your TAK client map imagery, and there are MANY changes to be done in Arma 3 maps just for gameplay proposes, even when simulating real locations.
2. Another thing to consider is that this addon is running using the FreeTAKServer API, check the [FTS Docs](https://freetakteam.github.io/FreeTAKServer-User-Docs/) for more information. Both ARMATAK and FreeTAKServer are on development projects, don't expect a stable experience using it.
3. The TAK ecosystem have a slow learning curve (so does Arma), some YouTube channels i recommend is The [TAK Syndicate](https://www.youtube.com/@thetaksyndicate6234), [ATAK Maps](https://www.youtube.com/@ATAKMap) and [TRex Labs](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF9F26zKtAJ3d0jPgi80seK8-bSzlE2L9) to start learning, i don't think it's the perfect tool for situation awareness, but is the best tool we have publicly available right now, just remember that you must focus on data feeds, packages, planning and map editing tools, that is what you will use on ARMATAK addon.

## Getting Started
1. Add ARMATAK to the Mod Preset of your mission.
2. Launch Your Server with ARMATAK.
3. Wait for the Arma 3 Dedicated log that the ARMATAK is connected to the FTS instance, you can check this by the Dedicated Server console, or the Dedicated Server logs if you are running the instance as a background process.
4. Check your Mission Briefing Diary for the ARMATAK Connection information.
4. Check your Mission Briefing Diary for the ARMATAK Connection information on Briefing Screen.
5. Grab your android phone, tablet, iPhone, second screen or whatever you want to use as TAK client and connect it using the connection information. The FTS instance should send you a welcome message to the ARMATAK Instance.
6. Start the Mission.
7. Check your buddies on the real world location.
