Thomsonb has released updated Flashpoint: Chernarus and Utes v1.16 SP Missions and Flashpoint: Chernarus and Utes for British Armed Forces version [CO] v1.16 SP Missions on the BI Forums. The Takistan version has also been updated.
I have just released a new version. This update applies to all Flashpoint missions. The main new feature is Artillery strikes. ... Changes: v1.16 - Added: Artillery strikes; * All factions now call in Artillery strikes against known enemy units. * The type of strike is random, mortars or heavy guns. * The number of shells per strike is random. * The weight of fire is random. * The aiming error is random. * The strikes take time to arrive, so a moving target might move to safety. * The time between each strike of each faction is random. * The player is trated the same as AI units, no more or less likely to be the target. * All this results in a range of fire missions, from small slow atacks by a single mortar, all the way to a devastating rapid fire heavy barrage from multiple heavy guns. * The Artillery is a work in progress. * Features to be added later: Player designation of targets, Prioritisation of targets, Checking for friendly fire of each barage, Different levels of Arty for each Faction etc. * This Artillery system adds a bit more realistic danger to the battlefield. It was inspired in part by another of my favorite milsims, SteelBeasts. If you stay in the same place too long, you're toast! * Please feedback about the Artillery, let me know if it fits in with how you play the mission etc. - Fixed: Respawn list now shows the primary and secondary weapon of each unit, rather than its class type (class types are often not relevant anymore with the new custom unit spawning. This introduces the problem that Medics and Snipers are not easily identified on the list... to be fixed later). - Changed: Respawn list now shows units on the players original side first on the list, not always BLUFOR first. - Changed: "Who Got Me?" command now not added to rabbit in the cases of suicide, or death from unknown source, like artillery etc. - Fixed: On Utes, some parked cars spawning areas were broken by previous update.
What is it? A collection of reskins based on the stock BIS KamAZ models, intended for civilian use. As a bonus, a pack of KamAZ trucks for the CDF is included, along with a few skins for civilian UAZs.
How do I use it? The pack is split into four pbos - one for the main pack of civilian models, one for the CDF version, one for the extra UAZ skins and one specifically for a Schnell-livery fuel truck, separated because it is the only one that requires Operation Arrowhead to be installed. Or at least, it is as long as I've coded the config properly...
All units follow conventional grouping, the majority being found under CIVILIAN > CHERNARUS > CARS or SUPPORT - the Schnell truck is found under CIVILIAN > TAKISTANI > SUPPORT and the CDF trucks are, naturally, found under BLUFOR > CDF > etc. The trucks are known by the name KAMAZ however, not "Utility truck". Naturally this will look more suitable for ACE users, but otherwise shouldn't interfere too much - hopefully.
The re-skins are applied using the hiddenSelection feature, meaning that they can be easily swapped around by mission editors - the readme file included should (hopefully) explain it better.
This version is Beta - a few issues - most of which are beyond my control, i.e. not being able to change the specular map or the chassis texture - remain, but ultimately I've only tested them on my computer and so do not know how they will perform on others'. Also they are not yet signed.
Thoughts, suggestions, critiques very welcome; anyway, I hope you enjoy them!

Enigma has released a Dynamic Weather Effects Script on the BI Forums.
Description As a mission designer I have always had problems with the weather. It has not been dynamic the way I want it to be, and I've always thought that it synchronizes terribly in multiplayer as soon I start laborating with it (especially rain).
This is a simple script that makes the weather dynamic, and it works in single player, multiplayer (hosted and dedicated) and for JIPs. The weather is constantly changing over time intervals of the mission designer's choice. Weather is unpredictible, and above all it's always synchronized among all players in a multiplayer game!

strac_sapper has released an updated US Army Sappers (combat engineers) v 0.3 addon on the BI Forums.
Introduction: US Army sappers work in squad and team sized elements in cooperation with Armor and Infantry, and this addon creates the necessary units and groups for easy use in missions. A team of engineers is seen as a "force multiplier", able to increase the fighting ability of nearby units by doing specialized tasks as well as direct combat.
All of the members of a sapper unit are able to do normal infantry tasks, but more importantly every member also performed their specialized tasks. In every (good) unit this author was in, everyone in the unit worked including the squad leaders. The only exception was the MG and his assistant who would provide over-watch.
Also, in Takistan, there is need for EOD teams, highly trained sappers who specialize in dangerous removal of explosives among other tasks. Units: All personnel, including squad and team leaders, have the ability to perform engineer tasks. And all sappers carry a mix of demo and mines, with more of one or the other. This way you can be prepared for changes in mission.
Vehicles have load of mines and satchel charges. Their crew also have engineering capabilities. ... v0.3 - signed pbo's and added key - added Engineer Bradley Fighting Vehicles - added namman2's MaxxPro MRAP in 6 variants - added Sapper AR, AAR, HAT, AHAT - added Sapper EBFV dismount squad - small text and config fixes
v1.4 - Added Machinegunner unit for both Men and Men (Woodland). - Changed Sniper and Spotter in KZS suit due to requests - Credits to ArdvarkDB for the comms headset that is now on most of the units. - Changed NVG proxy on all models. - Various bug fixes addressing issues raised on this thread.
