Myke released another small addon in the Armaholic.com Forums. This addon gives you the opportunity to add your own images to a billboard. Read the readme for more information.
This addon contains 2 Billboards which can be fitted with own posters.
How to add own textures: ======================== Pretty easy, in the initline of the billboard, add this line: this setObjectTexture [0, "path_to_picture\name_of_picture.jpg"]
If the .jpg is in the root folder of your mission (where the mission.sqm is), path_to_picture\ is obsolete.
It contains 4 variants of the CH-47: Black, grey, green and desert.
The original model was created by AfrographX. Those credits belongs to him. GLT changed some parts of the original model: - new rotors (taken from BIS UH-60 and adapted to fit). - new wheels (also taken from BIS UH-60). - new textures, based on the original textures. - tweaked the flight model to fit better the size of this baby. - changed the engine/rotor sound
Some bugs/unfinished parts are still in: - Ugly (low res) cockpit textures (is WIP). - no working instruments (WIP). - no damage textures yet. - you can't enter the chopper through the opened ramp. - minor things in config that needs tweakings
Just to prevent some questions: - No, you won't be able to load any vehicles visually inside the chopper. - No, actually we don't plan to add any weapons to it (may change in the future). - Yes, in the final version you will be able to transport vehicles by hooking them under the chopper.

SMERCH from the SARMAT studio has informed us about the release of a new version -v2.0- of their Russian Architecture pack on the BI Forums.
In this version we made many additions and corrections for the simplify usage of buildings.
In V 2.0 we left the house that already placed fences and objects around them. Also you now can construct different fences consist of particular sections. We also added some new objects as independent units, such as burned BMP, small church, container with radioactive materials, and much more.
Pack of Russian Architecture V2.0 includes 93 different objects.
We hope that changes and corrections we made in Russian Architecture Pack will simplify work of those who create islands with this Pack.
Special thanks to: - Advice & moral support: datakill

Miles Teg has released a new version -v2.0- of the USMC AAVP7A1 addon on the BI Forums.
Here is an updated version of Kikill's version by John Ka. However it should be known that these versions still need plenty of work and at the moment I perfer the original woodland texture as it had more detail. But Kikill's release was meant for others to work on as far as further improving the textures. I wanted to post John Ka's updated version as it includes several improvents including working dampers on the wheels. So if anyone can do further improvements please knock yourself out but let me know if you can so I can inform others who might want to work with you on improving it.

wld427 from the RACS Project has released updated RACS Mirage III and F16 addons on the BI Forums.
New DEFA 552 cannon made by FA Dalai Lamar, updated pylon textures, and added bomber version! Also fixed that nasty texture bug on the f-16 tank buster. Thanks for all the support gents! Please if you have a load out type request do not be afraid to ask. Changing load outs on existing aircraft really is not that hard one the addon is done. Also cluster bombs and napalm are in the works but we want to avoid anything that script intensive to keep performance up.
Mirage III (Updated to V3) - Interceptor-6 Magic AAM - Attack-2 AS30L Missiles and FFAR rockets - Bomber- 6 Mk83 500lb bombs and 14 FFAR rockets
