- DevCon 2012-01-23: This is more like a first preview release of the DevCon. Still it is already very powerful and most developers should find it very useful.
With an important fix in the recent 1.61 beta patches, AI in vehicles finally starts to act properly with a player inside the vehicle as well.
This means the AI gunner engages targets by himself now. However he is still restrained in the use of the full weapon arsenal available to him. This little tweak changes/fixes that. So the AI gunner will now engage also with SABOT/HEAT and missiles at targets (aka fire automatically without command order for each shoot). (normally only true for: MG/AP/rockets)
Preface: Works only in SP; requires XEH/CBA; may still have issues in special situations.
The addon allows you to quickly switch between driver, gunner and commander seat.
To switch between gunner and commander use the key action assigned to "Swap gunner" (to be found near the end in controls). To switch between driver and commander use the key action assigned to "Swap gunner" and hold Shift/Ctrl/Alt at the same time.
Important: It uses selectPlayer. That means you switch to the AI entity. The benefit is that you can switch as player commander to the AI driver, and still have the AI gunner and (now/temporary AI) commander engage targets on their own.

R0adki11 has informed us about Nogovan Light Infantry Units, Nogovan Crew and Armour Pack addons release on the BI Forums.
Today Im releasing some updated and some new releases
Today Im updating my Nogovan Light Infantry Units to use the ACR model as I prefer these over the CDF models, the updated units use the same .pbo name and classes and loadouts so they won't break any missions created with these units. However they do now require my backpacks addon now.
Also Im releasing an updated version of my Nogovan Crew addon, this now includes an TankCrew Model.
Also I am releasing an Armour Pack, this is to fill the gap of lack of armoured units in the NAF arsenal, Im including a T72 in the pack as the NAF will be upgrading their armoured units slowly. In the future I will be releasing a second armour pack which will include T55 variants and MTLB.
Please note the armoured pack requires the Crew Pack

Years after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.
Military virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. But he is not alone.
In December 2009, Robert Neville loses his wife Zoe and daughter Marley in a helicopter accident during a chaotic quarantine of Manhattan. A genetically-engineered variant of the measles virus created by Dr. Alice Krippin, meant as a cure for cancer, had mutated into a lethal strain. It spreads throughout the world, killing 90% of humanity. By September 2012, Neville is the last healthy human in New York City ; the rest of the plague's survivors have degenerated into predatory, cannibalistic beings referred to as "Darkseekers",who hunt the immune humans as prey. The Darkseekers are so named for hiding during daylight due to a painful intolerance of UV radiation.
