ONI.au has released Pingu's Claymore addon, still in beta stage and a work in progress, on the BI Forums. Patch 1.09 beta is needed, read more here.
a good mate of mine (pingu) has created a working model of the claymore that is completely adjustable in angle and direction once placed like the real ones and also as its a shaped charge has a 10 meter blast radius at first and then from beyond that shrapnel and ball bearings fly forward in an arc up to an effective range of roughly 100 meters to the front arc of the claymore
AtStWalker has informed us of the Operation WW2 project, a World War II hub for mission and addonmakers to simplify the production and release of WW2 mods.
Operation WW2 is focused on making the first minimod: "Festung" (about German WW2 fortifications). Already we've ingame a Ringstand 58c "Tobruk" and a Panzermauer (with three variants: 3 meters, 9m, 18m)
See their thread in our forums for more information.
Sudden Death has released his vehicle pack over on the BI Forum. This excellent piece of work brings working dual miniguns into ArmA and includes an AH6 and ZSU 'Shilka'! He has also kindly provided a preview video of it working in game on youtube.
The models and textures are all BIS original stuff, addon is only a replacement config to add the scripts. Using extended Eventhandlers makes it compatible to other mods like 6thSense Tracers or FDF-Soundpack (shown in the vid).
Changelog:
Final Release: - changed config using Extended_Eventhandler - add BI signature - improved scripts
Release Candidate 2: - replacement config by zGuba - safe mg scripts for AH-6 and ZSU Shilka. Now bullets wont be created, only position is modified. - Kills in MP should count correctly now. - Costum Sounds removed - Shilka´s MG offset improved (some problems reported in RC1 if you aim very high)
Thanks to: ColonelSandersLite - for safe MG-Script zGuba - for Replacement-Config & help
Kind regards
S.D.
Just so you know, this addon replaces the BIS AH6, AH6 (RACS) and Shilka.
Vilas has released an update of his WW2 pack addon on the BI Forums. This addon is a standalone, it no longer needs vilas mod.
... contains changes: - selfstanding now, not require vilas_mod, - one file, no config files, - new SVT-40 shown above- marked Tula star manufactory and "1943";, - shadows fixed in Soviet Soldier, - some weapons have simple shadows, rest is TO DO with new models in new WW2 addon, as we will finish PROJECT'85 , because I have to do completly new models of many many weapons, not only normals, - above mentioned bugs fixed
We have been informed about some very promising Work In Progress screenshots of an AIST Class assault vessel from the Our Weapons Project found on the russian fansite flashpoint.ru.
Gnat has released a short video and progress update on his V22 Osprey addon.
- Able to lock animations as foward only. - Also found you can animate a WHOLE model, hence I was able to remove the slight nose down at cruise. Now it looks perfect cruising along at 400 knots! Near perfect to fly like a plane or chopper.
Hotshotmike has updated his MD-500 Helicopter addon on the Armaholic web site. This 1.4 release features civilian versions, Police and UN version as well as 3 East side combat versions, 2 with rockets guided or not and MG, one with cannon pods.
This addon is packed with 7-zip, a packer tool similar to Winrar. You can get it from HERE, but the files can also be extracted with Winrar.
Sparky from the Helenic Warfare Mod has informed us of the release of 2 explosive videos about their new destruction system on YouTube. First video shows the destruction effects on a 240 GD, the second shows them on their newly created Hueys.
The Real Combat Photography contest has ended. The entries were really diverse, showcasing the creativity of the ArmA community. We would like to thank everyone that submitted a picture to us. The winner will be announced as soon as possible.
Simply some screenshots from the working in progress of PedagneMOD This screens showing the Carabinieri corps in BDU and urban camo (other corps Army, Navy Regiment San Marco and GOI (commando), pilots and crew are not jet ready for the screen) and other weapons (Beretta M92, shorter M84, M249 in versions mk1, AimPoint) based on original BIS models and decoded by Synide. Thanks to SWISS MOD that allows me to use their wonderful Panzerfaust 3 AT in my weapons addons shell. Never forget also Robert Hammer that allow me to use his MG42 and his sounds, and Dr Rebus that allow me to use some particular of texture of his ITA_Soldier . Simply at ALL: thanks for your usual availability At last, i have studied many time and learned many things from the SWISS and Robert Hammer configurations.
....This scripted system provides a workaround for ArmA’s engine failure for working turrets on Plane class vehicles. We are not touting this a the be all and end all solution to the problems of Turrets on planes but its certainly a step foward.....The video shows a Mockup Predator UAV, the gunner’s Optic/GUI, laser designation of targets and the target tracking system.
What this means is: - It is now possible to have turrets on planes. Not just laser designators but potentially machine guns, canons etc. eg WWII bombers. - It is possible for single or dual seat aircraft to “self designate†laser guided bombs realistically. - A Full and practical range of UAV’s are possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: 1 - The UAV model is a very crude prototype – yes we know it looks crap. 2 - This system is in the very early stages of development and should be viewed as Work In Progress. 3 - We have done some MP testing and it does work. However some bug fixes are in place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately their latest backup out of their datacenter is quite old since it's from Dec. 06, but we know them well enough to be sure that they will update their websites very often like they used to do !
