Telejunky has informed us about an unexpected find Red has posted about on the BI Forums : The 3D-Editor ! Be advised that it is not officially released and there are still some bugs and it is not "polished for us"
Press alt-e in the main menu of the game. You'll get the 3d editor, which starts in map mode first. However it's very clunky at the moment, you may or may not want to use it.
Edit : Ohara a BI Developer, has posted this on the BI Forums :
we expect that we will "open" it by some patch, its there, but need some tweaking
Note : Screenshot 1&2 from Raptor on the BI Forums, screenshots 3&4 from ArmA2Base.de

[GLT]Myke has released a Footmunch/eddy DF-16 Fighting Falcon, ported to ArmA 2 on the BI Forums.
This addon adds the F-16 Fighting Falcon to ArmA 2. It is completely based on Footmunchs/eddyD's F-16 1.9 for ArmA 1. This addon will add one new faction "US Air Force" (USAF) and 4 variants of the F-16.
Kegetys has released a Noblur mod on the BI Forums. This mod disables the motion blur and optionally the "bloom" postprocessing effects from ArmA 2 game version v1.01 final.
It allows disabling the motion blurs and optionally the "bloom" as well. Disabling the motion blur effect seems to increase the fps as well, an official fix would propably increase it a bit more since this one just replaces the PS effect with a direct copy "effect".
Muecke has informed the community about the release of CRCTI Warefare MP missions by Squeeze from OGN clan on the BI Forums.
Hi folks, Squeeze from OGN clan just instruct me to post his MP mission in BIS forum ! Its the CRCTI Warfare MP mission!!! Yes its the famous CTI modus made by Cleanrock ported from OFP->ArmA1->ArmA2.... This mission is still in work but its very good playble now. I dont want to explain the hole mission just in short words: -West vs East vs Resisitance- To win you have to conquer the Island means capture all towns (townwin), or find enemybase and destroy it (destruction) !!!
VFFPSS is an addon to be used on client machines (it will quit on servers). It is a logic object that can be placed in custom missions and it will be run once the mission starts. VFFPSS will take measures to dynamically adjust quality settings in order to squeeze out more FPS. Why is this a game logic and not a standard addon to be used in all missions / campaigns? It is in a POC state (proof of concept) and I need to put more work into this should this be found useful by more people then myself; and actually myself as well So, enter the editor and place a logic object "VFFPSS Logic" on your map and off you go.
ArMaTeC has released a "spawning" script for the LHD (Aircraft Carrier) and released it on the BI Forums.
I created this simple script that you can now create the Aircraft Carrier any where on the map and on any island Example mission and script
Myke has released an addon version of the script and released it on the Armaholic web site.
Excellent script, armatech. I've created an Editoraddon out of it which adds the LHD in the Editor under WEST/USMC/SHIPS/LHD and also under EMPTY of course.
It uses 100% of armatech's script so full credit to you mate. I've just packed a config and Editor Icon with it. Also added 2 lines to the script to make sure it runs server-side only.
I have made a new thread for the ONS mod as the full release will be for ArmA 2 and the demo of the mod for ArmA 1. Pictures to follow shortly thank you for following the mod through all the ups and downs we are still going strong.
Snake Man from PMC has informed us about the release of a PMC ArmA 2 WRP Demo on our Forums ! No addons required. Just ArmA 2 v1.00 (or later).
This is WRP technology demo for ArmA 2 including 51km x 51km desert terrain with many ruined cities. Experience yourself the REAL 2621.4 square kilometers terrain. Assault or defend those extremely large ruined cities. Feel how boring it is to fly 10-15 minutes for landing zone on board a MH-60S.
There is four simple missions included to show some of the terrain here, two of them are boring flights around the the place and other two uses 5km viewdistance with large amounts of troops under players command using High Command. These also aren't real missions, just some quick fun.
Please make no mistake, this is not "real" terrain as you know of them, this is tech demo of large terrains and cities, there is very little details or work put to it (PMC is developing a real final terrain based on this tech demo, but thats offtopic).
Hawk from the FFPIU French ArmA Team has released nice YouTube videos from the ArmA2 Lan Party in Paris on the FFPIU Web Site. Here is one of them featuring a visit of Chernogorsk factories superstructures, enjoy !
The famous addonmaker Kegetys informed us on the BI Forums that he released today a new update of his tool wich is a paa photoshop plugin to handle the ArmA 2 compressed paa textures on his site.
I updated my paa photoshop plugin to handle the ArmA 2 compressed paa textures. (Opening only, the game can read the "old" noncompressed paa's as well). Get it from my site. There's an updated cpbo as well with an optional simple GUI for extracting PBOs.
Updates in 6.6.2009 release:
- cpbo now has an optional GUI for selecting files to extract: right click a PBO and select 'Extract PBO...' to show the dialog. (run the cpbo.exe first to create the registry association) - PAAplug support for loading ArmA 2 LZO compressed PAA files - PAAPlug fix for FLAG tag saving (mipmap filtering)
