Click on the Capture Tab.
Select Push-To-Talk and set your Arma3 radio keybind (Default= CAPS) to be your PTT Hotkey.
After the hotkey is set you can switch back to Voice Activity Detection.
While you are here make sure your input device is correct.
TS3 is now set up. The next time you launch Arma3 with ACRE2 installed it will automatically install its plugin into TS3.
If it doesn't or you installed the repo first instead of TS3, delete the @acre2 folder out of your arma3 root folder and let Swifty reinstall it with one of the repos.

Step 3: Setting up Swifty
Click the settings button (cogwheel) in the top right.
Fill out the ARMA III Directory with the file path to your Arma3 root folder: [...]/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/arma3
Do not change the temporary Directory, it is automatically generated by Swifty.
You can change the Parallel Downloads higher or lower, depending on what you trust your internet connection to be able to handle.
If you ever notice that a repo has undergone changes and mods may have been removed, go to the Cleanup tab and click the red Clean up text in the bottom right corner. This will delete depricated mods.
Close the Settings screen by clicking the X in the top right (The lower one on black background, not the top one...)
