BergHoff has released an updated African foliage v1.10 addon on the BI Forums.
This addon contains 34 usable models that can be used too create a vast desert or savanna. In the future there might be some additions to create a jungle but first I will improve some current models first.
The addon was previously released for ArmA in a un-finished state but now I have ported it over to ArmA II and completed all models that were in prior releases.
I want to thank Icebreakr for testing the foliage on his nice Isla Duala.

Beton has released a "Summervegetation" addon by Beton and Bushlurker on the BI Forums. This addon is to be useful only to map makers, it will be a big help for those planning to build new islands and maps.
Hi.. some of you may have taken notice of the release of the summervegetation replacementpack some days ago. In the releasenotes i mentioned that we would be releasing an addonversion for islandmakers.
Since after some days of more or less only positive feedback we(Bushlurker and me) decided to release the addonpack. This means every Arma 2 plant including clutter is available in summerdress now. This addonpack is only of interest for mapmakers for now as there is no island/map released which is using it. Thats why i am releasing it here. When i created wintervegetation for a map i realized that this would become a very big file... so if everey mapmaker made his own summervegetation this would result in many big addons, what is not very good. I thought it would be better to have one communityaddon every mapmaker using summervegetation could rely on. This addon is meant to be a cornerstone for an addon from the community for the community. This means everyone is welcomed to contribute all kinds of vegetation to create one foundation for hopefully many mapmakers using one addon. To make this addon suitable for multiplayer we need a key. This key is for now located on my hd so any new files added to this addon have to go through my hands at the moment. If anybody feels this should be changed and has a suggestion on how to organize colaboration.... feel free to say it.
Note please: this is not the replacementversion but a standaloneversion which yet is not in use on any released map Usage of this addon is explained i the readme.
So hopefully this will be the start ....and grow...
Today, we would like to announce another addon - the BTR-70, which is a child of collaboration between Manfred and Red Hammer Studios.
The pack will feature numerous varients of the vehicle (including Molatian, Belarussian, NAPA, CDF and Chedaki versions) and some complex scripts to enchance the joy of playing with this beast.
