SCUD Valley v0.15 Made with Arma 2: Combined Operations v1.52.71900 Required AddOns: None Description: Colonel Aziz and his army are on their last legs. In his last-ditch effort, Aziz has threatened to launch a nuclear warhead at the Coalition fleet stationed in the Green Sea if all Coalition forces have not left Takistan within 24 hours. Intel reports that the launcher is located in the Naygul valley, but it's exact location is unattainable due to interference from the mountains. It cannot be destroyed via Tomahawk cruise missile either as radioactive fallout would soon spread over Takistan. Therefore, your task force has been given the objective of locating and safely disarming the SCUD launcher before it is fired.
Black Gold v0.3 Made with Arma 2: Combined Operations v1.52.71900 Required AddOns: None Description: NATO Command learned earlier today that Takistani Army forces have taken hostages and are holding them at one of Takistan's most northern oil fields. A special operations force comprising of Czech and German operators has been assembled, and an operation to free and extract the hostages is about to get underway.
An Arma 2: Operation ArrowheadHigh Command tutorial video has been released on the official ArmA2.com site.
Next up in the series of video updates introducing the unique features of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead is the High Command tutorial video, which showcases one of this unique mil-sim's lesser-known - but exciting - gameplay features.
The walkthrough provides a sneak peek at the tutorial available in-game and demonstrates the simplicity of commanding larger groups of units; issuing direct orders, setting waypoints and conditions, and assigning the behaviour of groups of units. Getting to grips with the simple command interface is important, and doing so reveals an entirely distinct type of gameplay experience.
High Command is a powerful tool, which puts you in dynamic control of the entire battlefield situation in a real time strategy viewpoint - with as much, or as little control, as you like.
Set in the new, visually attractive environment of rugged Central Asia, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead offers a realistic combat simulation experience in a modern day setting with unprecedented freedom of movement, actions and tactics.
Players have the opportunity to enlist into various roles within the US Army, from basic infantryman through to special operative, to pilots and tank crew equipped with hi-end military equipment such as thermal imaging and directly controlled UAVs, in this new installment in the award winning line of military simulators for PC from Bohemia Interactive.

Legislator has released an GLT FLC (FLIR & Countermeasures) addon on the BI-Forums. This addon adds the FLIR system of Operation Arrowhead to some choppers and tanks of ArmA II. You will need Operation Arrowhead to get this working.
I made this because most of the ArmA II vehicles don't use the new FLIR system by default. Additionally I added countermeasures to the UH-1Y and MV-22. Each config file works separelty from each other so you can decide which vehicle will get the FLIR. Please be aware that not every vehicle will get FLIR, like T-72, UH-1D and Mi-24D. If someone wants the new FLIR system on those vehicles (or others) he can use this addon as a pattern for it.
Hint: This addon works clientside only. Server admins will have to take care to allow / not allow this addon on PvP servers. It may be considered cheating because some players might get advantages over others.
