FAQ
Q: Do I need to use such a sync tool to play with CiA?
A: No, but it is highly recommended. You could download each update yourself, and create a shortcut for joining. However, we update our addons on a regular (weekly sometimes) basis, which means that it's easy to miss an update, and errors are likely to occur.

In the tab "Launcher options" , set your Arma3 path if it didn't detect it, and set any startup parameters
In the tab "Addon Option", add the folder that (going to) contain the CiA mods. This folder should not contain your other mods!

The Repository is out of date and should not be used, sorry! -Rund
Good job RundÂ
I will set new repo only with @ACE and throw out @ACE from regular night repo.
Updated links in first post, and removed ACE specific references.
If you already have some of addons e.g. @RHSUSFA or @CUP Terrains just rename it to @RHS_USF / @CUP_Terrains and you don't need to redownload addon which you already have.
Updated first post: Removed PWS and swifty info, and removed mirror repo info.
You can add too that after ArmA3Sync v1.7 Update 2 -> Java 7 is no more supported.
Updated autoconfig url to new server
