Bushlurker has released Carraigdubh, County Leitrim. - A 5x5km Geotypical Irish Terrain in a St Patrick's Day Special Edition - Beta v0.8 on the BI Forums. Arma2 & Operation Arrowhead or Combined Operations needed.
County Leitrim contains a great variety of landscapes. High moor topped mountains in the north of the County rise above drumlin-covered lowlands, eskers and glens. Geological features shaped by glacial action are a distinctive feature. Many areas are noted for their scenic beauty and nature conservation value. (And particularly good trout & salmon fishing!)
Leitrim, like other counties in Ireland, was subjected to total glaciation on a number of occasions. Glacial episodes have had a profound influence on the landscape, shaping the underlying geology and depositing massive volumes of drift. Little is known about earlier glacial episodes as all traces have been erased by subsequent glaciations. In Ireland the most recent glaciation is called the Midlandian Glaciation and occurred roughly 20,000 years ago. The ice extended across Leitrim from North, North East to South, South West...
During glaciation, erosion was most severe on the higher summits and in the deeper valleys which were aligned parallel to the direction of the ice flow. The lowlands by contrast were mantled by a thick cover of stiff, clayey till deposited during a later stage of glaciation which was moulded into the form of small hills or drumlins. These drumlins are generally oval in plan however a broad range of shapes and sizes exists. The drumlins are orientated in the general direction of the ice flows and are a valuable indicator of glacial activity.
Since the majority of soils display significant limitations to agriculture. Combined with the nature of landform, grassland agriculture has been the dominant land use within the County.
In this synthetic landscape I've attempted to depict all these features within a small but coherent area.
Happy St Patricks Day! Before I go out on the piss later id like to present these. It is a quick and dirty addon representing some Irish Republican Army insurgents. I probably wont do anymore work on this addon because its only a small one. I started working on it when I saw BushLurker's new Irish terrain he is working on and is hopefully releasing soon, go check that shit out if you havent. These could easily represent any faction of the now splintered IRA, that is another reason why I also left out cap badges on the berets so they could be used as anyone. I based these off pictures of IRA insurgents throughout the 1980s and 1990s but there wasnt many quality photos, and they all seem to wear similar get up. ... v1.0 Features
- Overlook look is unconventional. DPM and OD jackets with jeans or khaki combat trousers. No webbing or belt kit like in most of the photos. All wear balaclava heads. - 10 types of insurgent inheriting from the default BIS Chedaki insurgent classes but with different weapons. All use english dialogue, have english names, and use BAF faces. - OA features compatible: Backpacks etc. None have backpacks by default however. - Equipped with weapons mostly representative of the IRA without having any dependancies on weapon packs - FN FAL, AKM, M16A2, L7 GPMG etc.
Lock on target - Bohemia Interactive has launched Take On Helicopters: Hinds - the first official DLC for Take On Helicopters. Bringing in a variety of helicopter gun-and-gameplay, Take On Helicopters: Hinds enlists players to become the pilot of the most iconic helicopter gunship ever: the Hind.
Take On Helicopters: Hinds presents three highly detailed variants of the Hind: the Mil Mi-24P, Mil Mi-24V and Mil Mi-24 SuperHind Mk.III - featuring interactive cockpits, retractable landing gear systems and various weapon loadouts. They are accompanied by brand new singleplayer challenges, which showcase the various roles a Hind can play on the battlefield. Five new Time Trials invite players to master the Hind's distinctive flight dynamics. Last but not least, a new multiplayer death match scenario lets players battle one another as pilots, gunners, or both.
Executive Producer Lukas Milacek on the Hind: "There's a helicopter saying: "If it's ugly, it's British; if it's weird, it's French; and if it's ugly and weird, it's Russian." This certainly goes for the Hind. Nonetheless, the 'flying tank' - as Soviet pilots refer to it - has also been one of the greatest accomplishments in helicopter history. Naturally, we were excited about bringing this military legend into Take On Helicopters."
For a faithful recreation of the Hind's flight characteristics, the development team reached out for feedback from Czech Air Force helicopter pilot, Capt Marcel Kica, whose 221. 'Tiger' Squadron was involved in the training of Afghani Hind pilots. He was amazed by the outcome.
Captain Marcel Kica: "The flight model in Take On Helicopters: Hinds, without any of the game's assists, feels incredibly authentic. I was impressed with how the development team has managed to capture the exhilarating experience of piloting such a heavy helicopter as the Hind. For most people, this'll probably be as close they'll get to flying this merciless gunship into combat."
Take On Helicopters: Hinds is now available for 12.99 EUR/16.99 USD/10.99 GBP at Store.bistudio.com, Steam, Desura, Gamersgate, Aerosoft, Wilco Publishing and Impulse Driven. There is also a bundle pack available, consisting of the vanilla game and Take On Helicopters: Hinds.
Aplion has released his Mitilini Island on the BI Forums. Aplion Buildings needed.
Introduction:
This is a Greek island located in eastern Aegean sea area, called "Mitilini". This island is my first releasable effort in map modding area and I must admit that it is far away of my expectations as the map it seems to be too small for my original plans. Anyway I'm releasing that in a 1st version "as is" condition and I'll continue either with a 2nd version, twice in size, or maybe another island.

v1.0 Features - Overall the look and feel of these "modernised" units is that of a government federal spetsnaz team, of the FSB or FSO. (More traditional units will follow eventually). They are wearing multicam, SPOSN plate carrier vests with many added pouches, and Mich2000 helmets. I wanted some Fast EDC helmets, they may come later. - 6 kinds of Operators wearing Multicam: Teamleader, Sniper, Marksman, Assaultman, Grenadier, & Operator (Under Men (Multicam)). All are able to administer first aid. - OA features compatible: Backpacks etc (OA thermal textures will come in a later update). - Equipped with default BIS MVD loadouts because they inherit directly from the BIS MVD classes (This is intended so any weapon replacement packs can work, or you can just set the weapons manually). - Two new rucksacks for these units, an olive Charlie Pack and a black Patrol Pack. - These units were the reason I started the Krinkov Pack - One known issue is that the wound textures are a bit dodgey on the body. But they work so hey ho.

[F2F] SKYNET has released an updated F2F Air Loadout Selector System v2.2 script on the BI Forums.
The F2F Air Loadout Selector System is a script which enables a variety of bomb and missile loadouts for ArmA 2 (A2/A2OA/A2CO) aircraft. Currently, A.L.S.S. is compatible (Not required) with GLT missilebox. In the near future I will be including additional addon compatibility (including ACE) as well as incorporating BIS and addon helicopters into the script. This script has been redesigned from the ground up to make for a much easier installation process as well as opening the possibility for addon "sensing".
Originally, F2F A.L.S.S. was considered a private script used only in TheFirst2Fight missions. I came to the conclusion that others may also benefit from this script so I decided to release it to the ArmA community. Further script updates will be released if/when time permits. Technical support and requests will gladly be taken into consideration.
I hope you enjoy the F2F A.L.S.S. Script. If you are interested in flying the AV-8B or other USMC aircraft, visit www.TheFirst2Fight.com and come fly with us! .... Changelog [i]2.2 - Added Meatball0311's F/A-18 Super Hornet compatibility - Added VectorX96'S F-14D Super Tomcat compatibility - Added Trouble's Harrier Gr3 compatibility - Fixed AV-8B LGB & AV-8B GLT weapons in CM bug - Fixed Menu access outside loader radius bug - Fixed "double menu" bug - Fixed Myke's F-16C ALSS loadout bugs

Kremator has informed us about ZKs_BattleZone_V3MSO MP Missions release on the BI Forums.
I am a code 'tinkerer' and have been able to stitch these GREAT missions together (through a lot of trial and error)
Firstly, my MAJOR thanks .... Without the GENIUS of BIS my life would not be complete! Without the GENIUS of ZoneKiller we would not have WAR. Without the GENIUS of Wolffy.au and the MSO team, we wouldn't have a framework of goodies Without the GENIUS of Roy86 we wouldn't have PatrolOps2
Without the support of quite a variety of members (Highhead, Vengeance1 etc) helping me test, I probably wouldn't have gotten anything out.
How to play
Please look at BattleZone and read the readme! Please look at MSO and read the readme! Please look at PatrolOps2 and read the readme!
Edit: ZKs_BattleZone_V3MSO_Qom added
For the marvellous Qom Province I have released my mission. REALLY nice feel this one - LOTS of action.
... Work in progress. I just playtested a new mission I made. I did not last long, but this is all the picture I took before falling into the sand of....
