DMarkwick published several new pictures of his work in progress Fire And Smoke Addon.
Fire and smoke addon for ArmA2. These are the very first glimpses of the new smoke, the fire isn't yet started. (Sometimes there is indeed smoke without fire ) The end result will probably be a little different looking, all the detail is in the tweaking but I am generally happy with the initial impression.
The full addon will hopefully have more or less the same features as the DMSmokeEffects addon for Armed Assault, but without so much default effects tweaking. I think I'm going to leave those alone, with the possible exception of building collapse dust.
Also hoping to incorporate propagating fire effects, so fires will spread among trees and buildings if the conditions are right. Chernarus looks to be built for propagating fire, with it's discrete forests & small isolated villages.

Itim_tuko modleader from the Conflict Zone Mindanao released four new pictures of their latest work.
The M113 as its used by the AFP. The MX8 in the configuration used by the PNP and Army. My first try to make a Kuglig. The Kuglig is a "Rice Tractor" and also used as a transport for Farmers.
The Kuglig was and is still used by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as a cheap and mobile anti aircraft defense platform. This model where build after an eyewitness report of a PAF Pilot.
The work for importing the North Spratly Island is progressing fine so I hope to be able to release it as I finished the new buildings.

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since our last update on VME PLA mod.

On the next update, we will have some heavy equipment such as fighter bombers, MBTs, IFVs, and so on. They will be remodeled and retextured.
Mean time we hope more friends who are interested in mod making could join our team, and share our enjoyment on mod developing.

- Type 95 5.8mm Assault Rifle
- Type 95 5.8mm Squad Machinegun

Rocket informed us, that he has updated his Coop Mission called co07 Island Twilight (USEC) over at the BIS Forums.
A notorious weapons dealer has arranged a meeting with a terrorist cell suspected to be operating in the USA. The meeting location is a remote and embattled island. A small team of seven USEC operatives are tasked with taking out the two targets, and destroying the weapons cargo they came to trade. Time is short, you have to complete all the objectives in under and hour. Be quick, be deadly.

DaKa informed us, that Placebo made an interesting statement in this BIS Forums Thread. Is the new patch coming out soon ?
Quote Placebo (30th July) :
Fingers crossed it'll be less than a week away, less than a few days away, but you know how sometimes unexpected things crop up so right now we can't say "oh it will absolutely be within 2 days" or something like that, as if it slips we get lynched again

galzohar released an update for his Random Assault PvP mission over at the BIS Forums.
Version 1.011:
- Completely remade.
- Using F2 mission framework.
- Assault direction is now random.
- Approximate objective area and attacker direction marked on the map, different for attackers and defenders.
- Using a rather proper platoon structure.
Problems:
- There are some problems with choosing weapons in the briefing, including the fact that the scripts overwrite whatever loadout you see/choose at the briefing. This is a known problem with the F2 scripts. I have decided for now to keep the classes enforced, but I did properly gear the platoon up for the task so it might actually be better that way.
- Need to actually have people test it! Hard to find bugs when playing with yourself on your home computer... Although practically all the scripts that I wrote run on mission startup, and I hadn't noticed any bugs with those.
- AI needs to be disabled, as they are currently incapable of playing this mission.
