william1 has informed us about the release of Flares countermeasure system Addon.
I've released a beautiful addon that enables flare countermeasures to BIS choppers/planes and custom 3º parties planes/choppers too , current version 1.2
BIS Forum: Franze kindly has given me permission to release a standalone addon that enables Flare countermeasures to all choppers and planes in the game. (all BIS choppers/planes - except Camels and DC3- and custom addons XEH compatibles, remember , if you are not XEH compatible, you are toasted, that's the motto). The flare system is extracted directly from Franze's great F-18 planes so it's all Franze's work. Extended eventhandlers by Solus and Killswitch is needed.
New version 1.2 out: 1.2 only enabled flares for BIS planes/choppers with the possibility of adding the flare system to other 3rd parties addons by editing the HPP file 1.1 added a HPP file so you can add any new plane/chopper you want

The Bush Wars Conflict Mod informed us that BergHoff sent his African Tree Pack to them, and you can see two work in progress screenshots of his impressive work!
Berghoff has been tree hugging again and has sent us the first Beta Test version of his African Tree pack for viewing and testing by our team. We will be using some of the trees of the pack for our Island Projects "Angola Bush" Island (Mini-Mod release), "Cuito" Island (Main Mod Release) and "Angola" Island (ArmAII Mod Release). The trees are of excellent quality as can be expected from Berghoff and cover most of the more common African species. An added bonus is a marked improvement of ingame frame rate over those of ArmA . The pack will include various bush species as well as Elephant and Buffalo grass.
With Berghoff's tree pack we are now able to complete and deliver a very authentic looking island of the African savannah. The pack is still in BETA and WIP stage and the final version will include a few more trees and bushes .
Karaya1 has released the BRDM-2 AA and Stryker AA variants in the BI Forums. It is the same BIS model but with a modified config file to be able to fire AA missiles.
I have made a very quick and dirty BRDM-2 AA conversion based on the normal ATGM one that ships with the game armed with the ingame Strela missiles. I know it's neither very realistic nor a substitute for a real SA-9 "Gaskin" but should be fun to have non the less. And on top of it the AI knows perfectly well how to make use of its new tools ;)
To complement Blufor with a similar asset I've also added a Stinger equipped Stryker. I wanted to stay somewhat realistic and kept the magazine capacity of 2 missiles on the Stryker. To make up for this disadvantage when compared to the BRDM-2 AA (5 per mag) I cut down the magazine reload time for the Stryker (12 vs 30).
I recommend using this addon in combination with NonWonderDogs "RocketBallistics"!
petr.t.lbc from the ACSR 1938-1945 Mod has posted several new work in progress screenshots of his very nice LT vz.38 (and the pz kpfw 38(t) german variant) in our forums.

The pack include SWAPO staging camps (Grass Shelters) as well as furniture and the SADF military tents used in border camps.

Ghost., a french addonmaker, has informed us about the release of the Robotech Vf-1s Fighter !
There is some bugs (notably on some textures alpha), but nothing that doesn't prevent from using the addon entirely. The "biggest " bug concerns AI which does not succeed in hiring a target with the plane. I could not make tests in multi, then it is possible that there is bugs also there.
