Brainbug has released the Bundeswehr Flecktarn retexture mod on the BI-Forums. It adds KSK troops with helmet and brown vest and some variations in the uniform, also a VIP bodyguard, Pilot, Sniper, Crewman and a bunch of other soldiers based on BIS' default US soldiers. There are also optional replacement configs included.
It adds KSK troops with helmet and brown vest and some variations in the uniform, also a VIP bodyguard, Pilot, Sniper, Crewman and a bunch of other soldiers based on BIS' default US soldiers. Initially I only planned a retex of the Deltas, that's why I named the addon "delta_mod", but then later added many more units, but it was a bit late to change it to a more appropriate name, but that's a non-issue anyway. Of course by just applying different textures, the gear can't be realistic Bundeswehr stuff, but maybe you like it nonetheless. The Ghillie suit is thinned out so that you can see the basic flecktarn-camosuit under the grass/leaves from up close, and also has more variation in overall camo than the default walking haybale.
Brainbug has released a "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

Geordie has released a [OA] - UK Joint Helicopter Command addon featuring skins modifications of BIS AH-64 D and CH-47F on the BI Forums.
Due to BI Studios announcing the UK Armed Forces DLC, I have decided to get these out without further delay. Just a few quick Texture modifications to the BI stock textures to change these helicopters into RAF and AAC models. No lumps and bumps are present that distinguish the actual helicopters apart from the US versions.

Placebo has informed us about the release of ArmA2 : Operation Arrowhead Demo on official site ArmA2.com .
Bohemia Interactive is pleased to announce the release of the hotly anticipated demo for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, a massive standalone expansion pack to the critically acclaimed military simulator, Arma 2.
This 3GB demo thrusts you straight into the unique gameplay featured in the full version of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead; it showcases the realistic sandbox environment, offers multiplayer gameplay, and gives you a peek at the vast array of vehicles, weapons, units at your disposal. The demo offers a massive amount of highly detailed content, giving you a sharp flavour of the epic new environment (modelled on real-world data), a full taste of the mission editor, and a real appetite to experience the most authentic mil-sim available: war without the training wheels.
Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead's demo includes:
* Singleplayer mission "Coltan Blues" from the main campaign * Singleplayer scenarios "Benchmark" and "Little Bird" * 3 Boot Camp scenarios (Basic, Driving and Helicopter tutorials) * Multiplayer missions "Hike In The Hills" and "One Shot One Kill" * multiplayer template "Team Deathmatch" * Mission Editor with save/load option
Bohemia Interactive CEO, Marek Spanel, described the demo as tantamount to a game in its own right: "This demo is huge. Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead is not a simple expansion - it's a massive extension of a living world with a passionate fan community. Our goal is to offer the chance to experience as much of the new and unique features as possible. To be honest, we believe that there is more fun to be had in this demo than in some full games; the editor alone enables a user to create hours of custom content."
Set in the new, visually attractive environment of rugged Central Asia, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead offers a realistic combat simulation experience in a modern day setting with unprecedented freedom of movement, actions and tactics. Players have the opportunity to enlist into various roles within the US Army, from basic infantryman through to special operative, to pilots and tank crew equipped with hi-end military equipment, such as thermal imaging and directly controlled UAVs, in this new instalment in the award winning line of military simulators for PC from Bohemia Interactive.
