Beton announced that he is working on a new map and published four early screenshots on the BI Forums.
Hi all,
i just wanted to show you some screens of the map im working on at the moment. The map features Omaha Beach at full length and about 5 km of terrain behind the bluffs. This is my first map and i made it from scratch using historical maps and goggle pics and of course my fantasy.
The map shows the beach as it was assumed to be by the Allies at nearly low tide. Of course im not able to put every tree at the right place but i try to come as close to reality as my time and abilities allow. I know that there is still much work to be done.
Credits go to the 31st Normandy modteam and all the contributors to this mod for letting me use their content. Bis for making this game and giving me the possibility to play around. And of course all the people helping beginners like me by writing how to´s and answering silly questions again and again...if i forgot anybody or anything... kick me..
RockofSL from the RKSL Studios has released the 11th day of his Advent Calendar 2008. Today is all about Rapier FSC SHORAD System.
The Rapier FSC (Field Standard C) air defence system developed by MBDA (formerly Matra BAe Dynamics, UK). The system is based on the Rapier mk2 missile and launcher, which is in service with the British Army...
...The system is a SHOrt Range Air Defence (SHORAD) design providing defence against unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, and fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. And is capable of engaging supersonic, low-level, high-manoeuvrability aircraft and can be towed behind medium size vehicles and armoured personnel carriers. It is air-portable by transport aircraft or helicopters.
stubblehopper has send us some reworked Vilas WW2 units. This addon will add some more British Paras and WW2 Russian Infantry Units.
Although some of this has already been released as part of Rip 31st's Normandy Mod, here's a few extras in the form of British Paras and ww2 Russian infantry. Simply place the PBO file in your addons folder and you'll be ready to fight at Arnhem or on the Eastern Front, the Germans are unchanged from the Normandy mod. But here you'll find British paras under "Polish" and "UK" soldier in the file. For those seeking for a little bit more authenticity you can remove the black Russians by deleting the HHL files 20-45 from your character folder in the Arma game itself, that's something you'll have to choose for yourself. A big thanks goes to Vilas for the inspiration and making the whole thing possible, enjoy!.
Edit Dec 11 2008 : Faust from the FF Studios has add a YouTube video in the comments.
AI in these planes is able to attack on ground units with bomb and MGs as well. ...and dogfights are possible too ;) ...btw all these things u will see in video we have created today ...tommorow we will post link to youtube
Following on from December 4th's "Lynx Effect" update we thought we'd show you a short video and give you all a bit of a situation update. We still have a bit of work to do to finish the addon:
* Some texture work around the guns and mounts. * Rework the internal SMDI and UV maps * Fit the Flare Launcher Pack mounts * Tweak the external SMDIs
UNN has fitted the new Flare/Countermeasures system and it working out the last few MP issues.

Dren has released a Lampedusa Island, as an open source island, on the BI Forums.
This is as open as open source island can be. All needed files are in to play around in Visitor and learn more about creating islands. Pop open 3DE, place roads trees, you name it. Theres also 2 different Sat mask's, one desert and one normal.
I only wish that if you really create something of this, share it here. Thats all what im asking for.
Thanks all to those who have created nice Visitor and "how to" guides. Special thanks goes Sgt.Ace
New video of our historic Egyptian and Israeli units. Actually the video is part of a movie cutscene on a 1960's era mission I'm making so I figured that I'd make it into a little video.
