OK, so you join a game, the mission loads, and you get kicked and have no idea what the reason was? Here is how you find out.

1) Locate your Arma 3 AppData folder. You will find it in this location:
[pre]C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Arma 3[/pre]
Replace username with your Windows user/login name.

2) Locate the NEWEST .rpt file
You will find a couple of files ending in ".rpt" that are really just plain text ("report") files. Locate the LATEST one by sorting the folder by date. The files all have a general naming scheme

arma3_2015-11-10_20-50-31.rpt

with 2015-11-10_20-50-31 being the exact time when the file was created. You will want the newest of these.

3) Open the file in a text editor, and search for the characters "Missing addons". This should look something like this:

[pre]19:26:38 Missing addons detected:
19:26:38  thirskw_fix[/pre]

Now, the addon name in Arma 3 does not necessarily equal the pbo name, however, the displayed information should be sufficient to give you an idea as to what you are missing.

Armaholic does list .pbos included in an addon.
