Defunkt has released an ANZINS Weapons addon for ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead on the BI-Forums. This mod was created for use on our servers and retrofits guns from both A2 and OA with new OA features, in particular with some form of close-quarters sighting mode for several weapons with a magnifying optic.
I hate crosshairs but dislike being near-helpless inside 50m nearly as much. This mod was created for use on our servers and retrofits guns from both A2 and OA with new OA features, in particular with some form of close-quarters sighting mode for several weapons with a magnifying optic. In a few cases they've also had their correct TI shader added (or in one case losing the TI shader in order to achieve the CQB thing). I plan on doing a bit more but need some help adding/fixing lens effects and with some config work for the G36's which have defied my best efforts so far.

RKSL-Rock from the RKSL Studios has release a RKSL RAF Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 beta1.0 addon on the BI Forums.
This addon is intended to represent the Royal Air Force's EuroFighter Typhoon FGR4 only. No other national version is included at this time.
A word about "Realism" It includes some features and capabilities that current serving aircraft have not been given yet. We've taken the liberty of trying to represent a fully capable aircraft that can support the widest possible range of weapons and roles. For the RAF's FGR4 at least this level of capability should only be 2-3 years away according to media sources.
Wiggum has released a Simple Action v1.1 SP/COOP mission on the BI Forums.
This is a simple instant action mission. There are 3 different tasks, you will get one assigned randomly. Each task has 3 possible locations. The enemy force in the village and the enemy reinforcements are a bit random too. Choose your gear during briefing, remember to take some Pipeboms with you !
Features: - No Addons needed ! - Delta Force against local insurgents - 3 different tasks (Kill the Warlord / Destroy the BRDM-2 / Retrieve the satellite phone) - Each task has 3 possible locations - Choose your gear during briefing - Choose between Night and Day (MP only) - Less enemys if played in SP
Laggy has released a [SP/COOP] Garden of Eden v0.90beta mission on the BI Forums.
Mission description: As Delta Force and a Helo Team your job is to hunt down insurgents in Takistan.
Important: In MP, pick primary and secondary player units first. This mission can be quite hard to master in SP, but it works perfectly if you are an experienced player. Keep your cool and make sure how to use teamSwitch and how to lead your units. Helo training is also useful. Read the briefing carefully.
Missionwork: My first mission in OA. The tasks are quite randomized which should hopefully make replay value high. The mission design really makes the new FLIR effect important. I hope I have achieved some realistic feel, but mostly a good atmosphere. Custom sounds, dialogue and scripts.
