Inkompetent updated his Real M136 and released version 1.1 of this useful addon in the BIS Forums.
Since the M136 AT-4 is a single shot disposable weapon in real life I thought it should be in ArmA too. The M136 AT-4 is now firable once, then automatically dropped on the ground. It can be picked up, but since the weapon can't be loaded and fired again the only purpose would be in a human vs human missions if you want to be sneaky (however sneaky it is to fire an AT rocket!). Ammo loadout for US and RACS AT soldiers are changed accordingly, giving them only one M136 rocket each, and exchanging the two excess rockets for magazines. The total number of slots used is the same as before, and thus shouldn't have any other effect on the game.
The addon can be used in multiplayer enve if only you use it on a server. Other players will not be able to see/pick up/use any M136 AT-4 launcher you have fired though (unless they have the mod too).
granQ has released an updated version of the Beriev Be-32 addon by Red Cottage on the BI Forums. This addon features also a bomber version loaded with FAB 250 bombs, KAB 500L (laser guided) are also available for the Be32 and can easily be put on the Su34B.
Democratic Republic of Sahrani got a cargo plane. It can transport up to 25 soldiers ready to paradrop behind enemy lines. A major modification also gave the SLA a bomber version of the plane, carrying 9 FAB 250 bombs. This release also includes a UN version and one american version.
Rambo-16AAB has announced over on the BI Forums the Brit Kit Modification. The mod aims to compile all community made addons -and ones made specifically for the mod- which depict the British Army/ Airforce and release them all together in one pack.
We are using Community sourced addons with the permissions of the Authors to produce a Simple British Kit mod for Arma.
The Goals of this project are two fold:- 1:- Have some sort of British mod available 2:- Have the Addon Makers who make the addons receicve credit and recognition for their addons and they can get them used. ( lots of great addons get made but seldom get used online as there individual addons, and not part of a Mod ).
Mondkalb has released a Cessna 182 addon on the BI Forums. The pack includes two Cessna 182 (One in Green and another in the reworked BIS-Paint). Hi, I've ported the famous OFP-Cessna to ArmA. I didn't change much on the outside Model, but've completeley reworked the Cockpit. The result is a retextured Cessna 182 with a high-detail Cockpit (The one before was looking like "Someone made a photo of it, then let it redraw it by a kid, then he scanned it, recompressed it to the very low, and then resized it to 64x64px, and then to the final 256x256px" - $cruffy. But thats ok, since OFP was released in 2001 ;) ). All intruments work. There are no dummies or placeholders.
OFman has released some information along with a few great looking screenshots of his upcoming project: Uhao Island.
I'm working on new island for ArmA called Uhao. Main idea is to create map with tropical ambient and atmosphere. While creating Uhao I'm looking up to Oahu island in Hawaian area (where tv series LOST was filmed). But I will recreate a small part of it (in small scale). I would like to adopt Crysis-like object arrangement (as good as ArmA engine will allow). I've made about 20% of island until now. Just look on these screens.
Gnat has released a nice teaser image on the BI Forums showing the latest work for his Armed Assault Navy addons - Aircraft Carriers.
Update, still working on stuff obviously. Found a new bug with the Subs, so the Frigates will likely be released first. And no I dont have a date or month.
VictorFarbau has updated his VFAI - AI Extension to version 2.3 and released it on the BI Forums. This addon makes units smarter and more independent, you can view a sample video of v1.4 below.
FIXED with version 2.3 : Tested Smokeshell.AI on a dedicated server, works fine for me now. Bug reports still very welcome.
Tested Equipment.AI on a dedicated server. Due to the precautions taken you don't see units that often anymore stealing stuff from corpses. But I tested a basic mission on a dedicated server and after a while hostile and friendly units started to pick stuff from dead bodys. So the addon works - there might be other conditions that stop units as explained in the readme file.
VFAI will work with XEH 1.0 by Solus and Killswitch. It is the only version of extended eventhandlers that I have installed and it works fine for me. I am not sure it's a good idea to have several versions installed simultaneously - I won't be held responsible for undesired effects. I myself use this: -mod=beta;@DMSmokeEffects;@TrueMods;@SIX_Pack1 Works all just fine with only "Extended_Eventhandlers.pbo" (XEH).
Linker Split from the BHD Mod has sent us some more screenshots of their upcoming Mogadishu island. They are waiting to finish their Delta units before releasing a Beta version of their mod. Concerning Mogadishu island, every building model has been created using 4 lods, to keep a good framerate.
The FDF Mod team has released a Petri Honka's Blog entry on their Web Site.
Hi all, I just wanted to share some memories from last summer's refresher course which was held at Niinisalo drill area. The weather was hot but we got to wear the brand new M/05 camouflage suits which were comfortable enough, although an 'old hand' like me still prefers the old M/62 camo.
One of the officers in charge is my good mate, and allowed me to hang around as unofficial 'combat cameraman' after my part in the drill was finished.
Here's a shot of two conscripts from Pori ambushing 'friendly' BMP-2 with dummy 66 KES 88 AT launcher (although the yellow stripe indicating a dummy weapon is missing and guy at the front has lost the blank adapter from his RK 95 assault rifle!).
And here, from Finish FDF forums, is how soldier (~basic grunt) looks at the moment (pouches on the vest, helmet etc. are going to be worked on) :
More images have emerged from the russian ArmA/ OFP site Flashpoint.ru showing the Our Weapons Project's impressive looking AIST Class Assault Ship in game.
Sickboy from the 6thSense.eu team released the 6thSense.eu Pack2 in the BI Forums. The addons included significantly improves Armed Assault's gameplay. Furthermore the 6thSense.eu Pack2 has been updated too head over to the 6th Sense Wiki for more information
This package (Pack 2) contains 4 Modules by 6thSense.eu:
* 6thSense.eu AIAccuracy - Gives the AI better ability to spot and identify enemies. Unlike TrueRangeAI, it is a lot less aggressive * 6thSense.eu AIRange - Gives the AI the possibility to engage from further ranges. Basicly, they are a little better able to spot due to AIAccuracy addon. But they are able to fire back from further or engage earlier due to AIRange * 6thSense.eu Reloadtime - Updated reloadtimes of rifles with values that are closer to reallife * 6thSense.eu Weaponsway - Updated weapon sway values. Rifles move more realisticly in hand while standing, sitting, laying down etc. etc.
Sparky from the Hellenic Warfare Mod has infomed us about the release of their addon pack v2.0 on the BI Forums. This addon Pack contains the brand new UH-1H in Greek camo scheme and RACS, the MB 240GD in Greek camo scheme and RACS.
At last, after countless sleepless nights, a divorce, three missing girlfriends and tons of beer, HWM proudly presents the 2nd addon pack release. The Hellenic Army Air Force UH-1H Huey transport helicopter and the Mercedes-Benz GD240 General Purpose vehicle are ready to roam the ArmA virtual battlefield. We would like to apologize for the slight delay, but we really wanted to incorporate some new improvements.
Kindly read the manual for additional information on the mod. As always, constructive feedback is welcome.
KNOWN ISSUES: 1.The UH-1H destruction effect is fully depicted only in single player and non-dedicated multiplayer servers. Not fully applicable on dedicated servers due to game engine limitations. 2. When trying to use the armory scene feature of the UH-1H, game freezes and causes PC to crash. We're working on that...
And remember that a bug tracking system has been created at the HWM site.
Any realistic and well intended observation will be greatly appreciated. So if you find something, kindly report it to the following link Bug Tracker (Beta Stage) No sign in required.
Ou Matroos. of the Bush Wars Mod team has informed us of the released of several addons on our forums. A new version of the Star 9mm Pistol and the Alouette II, plus two versions of the famous Puma Helicopter in medical and assault configurations. To top off the pack, new Pilots have also been released.
Finally after quite a long delay due to the problems with our previous hosts and the changeover to armedassault.info Obmar has been able to start releasing some of our Add-ons to showcase our work. We will have a beta version of our Mini-Map teaser Island "Cuito Cuanavale" early in February as Ebud still has quite a lot of work to do. In the meantime Obmar will be releasing quite a few add-ons which will form part of our Mini-Mod release in May.
See their thread on our forums for more detailed information.
