modEmMaik has released his Bradley example (A2 config included), MLOD's/Rvmats and configs unbin included on our Forums.
I have added an A2 config to the OPF / ArmA open source Bradley.
zGuba provided the latest fixes (new GeoLOD and fixed gunner/commander turned out optics), I tried to include the new sound options.
Issues: * Damage section textures are not working * Interior is disabled due to "greyed out" periscopes in the interior (A2 seems to support windows only. A transparent texture that has faces behind it, is displayed plain grey.)
Feel free to release a modified version, as long as this version can be installed parallel without interfere (I do not care about credits, but I think that the rest of the supporting team might do so). Or simply play with the features (rvmat's, weapon etc.).

T_D released on the BI Forums a PAADecompressor tool, handy for decompressing A2 textures back to A1 format. This way you can easily use TexView2 for the textures.
I made a little tool that makes A2 textures compatible with texView2. This way you dont need Photoshop and Kegetys PAA Plugin. Here the Readme:
This little tool is for people that can't or dont want to use PAA Plugin for Photoshop by Kegetys to view and edit A2 textures. Syntax:
PAADecompressor.exe [source [destination]]
If no parameters are given a dialog appears where you can choose the file that should be decompressed. Decompressed files are ending with "_decompressed.paa" if destination name wasn't specified.
Shell extension:
This package contains a PAAD.reg (thx to kju) file that register the tool, so that you can quickly decompress paa files by rightclicking on them. You just have to edit the path in it.
DISCLAIMER:
I take no responsibility for (im)possible damage to your game/system that may be caused by installation of this tool.

ArmALaunch is a program designed to allow for the easy launch of ArmA Combat Ops with various mods and command line options. It can save multiple 'favorites' of your mod configurations so you won't need tons of desktop icons all dedicated to ArmA. ... This has been confirmed compatible with ArmA 2

callaway has released Operation Ebony Gryphon, a SP Air mission on the BI Forums.
OPERATION EBONY GRYPHON
Make no mistake, this is a critical mission. The allied advancement into the north of Chernarus has been close to halted by overwhelming enemy heavy armor. We can’t expose our ground troops and support to this threat any longer and we need to get them moving as soon as possible.
We need you to seek and destroy as much armor as possible before sunrise, when the allied assaults begin. Your success in this task may directly affect the outcome of tomorrow’s operation.
Focus on heavy armor and try to avoid or disable enemy anti-air units when necessary. Our intelligence units have marked possible Anti-Air positions; however, this is stale data.
You will be provided with fuel, refitting and repair services at the Allied airbase.
