da12thMonkey from UKF Mod has informed us about the release of UKF Weapons pack v1.1 for ArmA , UKF L115A3 v1.01, UKF Sharedv1.12 and UKF Misc v1.12 updated versions on the BI Forums.
Following on from our addon releases last month, Project: UK Forces are back with another series of exciting updates! This time around we have versions of the long-anticipated update to the UK Weapons pack for both ArmA 2 standalone, and Operation Arrowhead/ArmA 2: Combined Operations.
The major changes are the addition of rifles with the latest accessories for operations in Afghanistan including the new picatinny rail platform, and an ACOG scope provided by panda_pl and scubaman3D from the ACE mod. There are also some weapons fitted with a Surefire FA556-212 suppressor, as used by Special Forces Support Group. Other changes include improvements to the rvmats to utilise ArmA 2's DX9 "super-shaders" and detail maps, the weapons now also have shadow LODs and some of the lighting problems on the models have been fixed.
The pack contains a General Purpose Machine-Gun and nineteen SA80 variants; with numerous variations on the L86A2 Light Support Weapon, L85A2 Individual Weapon and L22A2 Carbine, including different sight configurations and blank-firing adaptors for training scenarios. The UKF weapons pack is a comprehensive collection of modern British small-arms, suitable for almost all players' needs.
Functionality wise, we have adapted the scripts from AAW's weapon pack with norrin's permission, to allow players to use the peep-sights on top of the SUSAT, and the Docter red-dot sight on the ACOG. We have also included handanim switching for the L123A2 UGL and bipod deployment for the LSW and GPMG; a feature you will have seen demonstrated on the L115A3 addon released a few weeks ago.
Speaking of the L115A3, we have made an update to fix the lack of a working bolt animation for the weapon. Follow the link for more info.
We have also created an update of UKF_Shared and UKF_Misc to fix a couple of file-allocation errors that were present in the previous release of the Land Rovers and Jackals.
If you downloaded these addons previously, it is very important that you update UKF_Shared and UKF_Misc to V1.12

JdB from the Invasion 1944 Mod has informed us about mod status as well as Wacht am Rhein project status.
We've been working steadily on both the port of the D-Day project, as well as on creating the Wacht am Rhein project.
The content for the D-Day project is about finished as far as the visuals are concerned, and the main thing left to do is testing to find and eliminate bugs. We have unfortunately hit a snag during testing. After updating ArmA2 to the latest patch (1.07), the mod refused to start at all. Everything was still working perfectly fine in 1.05, so our coder assumes it is related to the changes in the latest patch, and more specifically, a change in the executable. We haven't been able to determine the exact cause so far, and have therefore not yet fixed this minor issue. Until then, only limited testing is possible.
Thanks to our team member B@Co, the Wacht am Rhein project now has a proper logo.
 
Artwork for the Wacht am Rhein project is being developed at a reasonable pace. Since the main focus is primarily on fixing the issues with the D-Day project, coding is not a priority right now, although of course a lot of the D-Day code can be re-used, saving us a lot of effort. A map covering the area around Stavelot is in progress. The content is in various stages of development, labeled "Work in Progress". As we have a policy to show only content that is basically done in newsposts, we've created a separate page for them instead, where you can view many screenshots, renders and other images, to give you an impression of what we've been working on the last few months.
The "Artist Galleries" can be accessed by clicking the link HERE.

Pathy from UKF Mod has released an UKF Operation Arrowhead Weapons Pack 1.0 on the BI Forums.
This weapon pack represents UKF's first addon for the Operation Arrowhead. The core content of the pack is the same as the newly released UKF Weapon Pack Version 1.1 for ArmA 2, but this version utilises a number of the new features offered by the expansion pack to enhance the game-play experience and realism of our weapons beyond what was capable in ArmA 2.
This core content includes rifles with the latest accessories for operations in Afghanistan such as the new picatinny rail platform, and an ACOG scope provided by panda_pl and scubaman3D from the ACE mod. There are also some weapons fitted with a Surefire FA556-212 suppressor, as used by Special Forces Support Group. Other changes include improvements to the rvmats to utilise ArmA 2's DX9 "super-shaders" and detail maps, the weapons now also have shadow LODs and some of the lighting problems on the models have been fixed.
In total the pack contains a General Purpose Machine-Gun and nineteen SA80 variants; with numerous variations on the L86A2 Light Support Weapon, L85A2 Individual Weapon and L22A2 Carbine, including different sight configurations and blank-firing adaptors for training scenarios.

Brainbug has released an updated Ghillies for a change texture pack for mission makers on the BI Forums.
Ever been annoyed that the sniper's camo doesn't fit into your mission's environment? Now you can do what every good sniper (and chameleon^^) does: Adapt to the environment as good as possible. Here you can find an assortment of textures (25 so far, until I (or you?) do even more) for the ghillie suit. Since BIS made the ghillie model with the feature of "hidden selections", it is really easy to give it a new look. As most of you probably know, you just need to write
this setObjectTexture [0,"\ghillies_for_a_change1.paa"];
(or 02.paa, 03.paa and so on) into the init field of a sniper unit in the editor (or you do the same in a script). That means you can have (theoretically) as many different snipers in one mission as you want. Works for all ghillies regardless which faction. Just try out which works best for the environment you are about to send your sniper into: Dark green woods, light grass, sandy and rocky deserts, brown leaves and twigs, urban ruins, even blue enamel decorated mosques.
Update: Now also with 5 more textures for winter maps.

Killswitch has informed the community of the release of a CBA: Community Base Addons for A2, OA and CO v 0.6.0 on the BI Forums.
This release is intended for users of all three variations of Arma 2 - the original ArmA 2, ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead and ArmA 2: Combined Operations.
No matter which type of ArmA 2 installation you have, you need the @CBA mod folder loaded.
* If you use ArmA 2: Combined Operations, that's all you need - load just the @CBA mod folder.
* If you have only Operation Arrowhead without ArmA 2 original, you are required to also use @CBA_OA mod folder.
* If you have only ArmA 2 (Standalone, original), you are required to also use @CBA_A2 mod folder.
Key Changes
CHANGED: CBA is now available as unified version; equal version again for ArmA 2 (Standalone) - yet requires @CBA_A2, and Operation Arrowhead (Standalone - yet requires @CBA_OA, or Combined Ops)
CHANGED: XEH event handlers now inherit/override from eachother more natural like you'd expect from OO.
FIXED: High Command missions would give the HC commander control of units outside his assigned command hierarchy.
FIXED: Keyhandler could try to access array out of bounds.
Internal fixes and improvements

Legislator has released an OPA Backpacks 4 All v1.0 addon on the BI Forums.
While creating an mission having USMC force recons I noticed that they weren't able to carry the backpacks included in Operation Arrowhead. I was not satisfied with this situation so I had a look at the config values.
Now here it is: the ability to use the Operation Arrowhead backpacks for every ArmA II unit!
Please be aware that this mod doesn't add any new backpacks to certain units. It only adds a config value to the infantry baseclass so the units which are NOT included in Operation Arrowhead will have the ability to pick up and use the backpacks.
Known issues:
- the backpacks don't appear on the back of the old units
Requirements:
- ArmA II
- ArmA II Operation Arrowhead
Sadly the old models aren't capable of showing the backpacks, but of course they appear in the inventory.

Charon Productions has released his Charon Urban Pack 0.8 for ArmA2 on the BI-Forums.
I had made this for Arma1, but never found the time to add the objects that i still wanted in there.
Since many people wrote me about a possible release of this, i decided to release it as it is instead of it sitting on the hard drive.
The config has been adapted for Arma2, but a few models don´t work because they would need some work in oxygen for Arma2.
Keep in mind this is really beta and not perfect, but maybe inspiring to anyone.
