AASE from ONS Mod has released an Operation North Star Troops addon on the BI Forums.
Hello everyone, today I have an update and a release for Operation Northstar.
The mod is going well and we have started to get stuff into ArmA2 and we arnt sure at the time if we will be doing a full ArmA release or just release a few things for ArmA and the rest for ArmA2. As you seen in the past month NZDF and CMF (Canadian Millitary Force) have Merged and keep the name of ONS. And recently Crash just released the Canadian CC130 which can be found here. And today I have an ancocment I was going to release the troops on July 1st (Canada Day) but decided to move the release date today.
The Units included in this download are the, basic Rifleman, Grenider, C9A2 Gunner.

This is provided "as is" with no warranty. The property contained retains any and all relevant licenses it may have. Contact me if you would like to edit this file beyond personal use, and I'll see if its possible.
The future: - When my copy of ArmA2 arrives, I'll port it to that. - Paintkit. - Amphibious Variant - I'd like to make a VOR system... - Glass Damage textures... I have actually DONE the textures I just couldn't get the damn things working (even following the tutorial!). - On request I edited the "engine startup" script so that it *should* work correctly with ACE in multiplayer. Haven't tested it though
I know I said I was going to get this done a while back... but... well... I got distracted by a shiny object... sorry... it won't happen again... Some new stuff, lots of updated and fixed old stuff... and I still haven't removed a lot of the junk there.
Jackal326 has informed us, on our Forums, about the release of an update -v1.1- version of the SJB SAS Pack by Jackal326 and SafetyCatch.
SJB SAS Addon v1.1 Brought to you by Jackal326 and SafetyCatch.
The SJB SAS Pack v1.1 contains Special Air Service operators in both Patrol Kit and Assault Kit with the requisite camouflages for use in both temperate woodland and arid region environments. These units are high fidelity representations of modern SAS operators circa 2006-present, using equipment sourced from photographs and information proprietary to the SJB mod team. Currently the units are equipped with BIS weaponry. Later versions of the pack will make use of the upcoming SJB Weapons Packs which will include weapons such as the L119A1 (Diemaco SFW) intended for use with the SJB SAS Pack. Also included are "ACE Compatible" Units, which have had their backpacks removed using hiddenselections to allow them to utilise ACE's Backpacks system without too much clipping occurring as a result of wearing "two" backpacks.
However, please note: *** THE UNITS DO NOT REQUIRE 'ACE' AT ALL, THERE ARE NO 'ACE' DEFINES INCLUDED - ACE IS OPTIONAL ***
Change Log: > PUBLIC RELEASE V1.1 (THIS RELEASE - 11/6/09): - Completely overhauled textures using overlays and other Photoshop trickery I don't understand - Thanks SafetyCatch. * Re-did all shirt/trouser textures. * Revised Vest texture, improving overall look and changing drag-strap etc. * Re-made the majority of the normal maps reflecting the changes made to layout of the textures. - Implemented XML Arm-Patches onto the right sleeve of all units.
Note : pictures are from previous version, pictures from v1.1 coming soon.
Soldier2390 has released a reskin of the USEC C-130 by Rocket with USAF and Maryland Air Guard markings on the BI Forums.

Gachopin has released a WW2 warships pack on the BI Forums and a YouTube video featuring the boats.
Today I released "ww2 warships addon". It includes 3ships [flower class corvette],[livertyship],[u-boat typeVIII], and 2 type of english ship crew.
This is still beta. But I think next release will ARMA2
Flower class corvette and crew *105mm canon x 1 *20mm AAgun x 3 *serchlight x 2 *commander can launch [K-lancher] [hedgehog] (launch script supports multiplay)
Livertyship *no weapon include(maybe next release) *when dammaged,smoke script will work
Uboat *gunner can command "dive" *gunner can launch G7e torpedo (launch script supports multiplay)
Edit 15:20 CET : At Gachopin's request, the WW2 warships has been updated. Be advised you must dowload again the file if it has been DL before 15:20 CET.
USEC B1B Bomber * * Requires a Pilot and a Weapons Officer * Self explanatory really, it's variants of a B1B bomber * Currently Alpha * Hard to use without instructions * No pilot cockpit dials in this version * NOT AI FRIENDLY
USEC NAVY * * Has an LHA thats a "spawnable base" * Couple of destroyers * Oh and it has an HH60 too. Can be used to pickup cargo crates and such
USEC EFF * * This is like a mix of a bunch of stuff * Might not work well without the core USEC mod * Oh it has a cool AAV. If you know what that is, you'll probably be pretty excited. * And some cammo units, which are pretty choice * Gas masks and stuff too, and gas grenades * I can't remember what else. But quite a bit.
USEC Core (For Moderator: http://www.dhd.co.nz/files/usec_mod_v7.0.1.rar * * Old, and a real mess * But has some cool stuff in it * Enjoyness * Maybe the snow units are in this one? They're pretty cool
Oh some of the units don't appear in the menu for ACE, you have to mention them directly. Some of the things REQUIRE ACE. It's all setup entirely for USEC, so if you don't have it all setup right - it doesn't work so well.
That's all the USEC mods! When ArmA2 came out, I promised myself I'd make all the USEC mods public to non-USEC people. I'll still be modding for ArmA for a few months until I see how ArmA2 pans out... then I'll commence my modding for that.
Additional note, as far as i saw, the addon also works well under ArmA 2, try it out if you want. Place it as empty as it misses the SLA crews from ArmA1 ofcourse.
zGuba has released an updated -1.16A- version of his Compact Fix for ArmA on the BI Forums. Compact Fix 1.16A is up.
Release highlights: - MES: renamed to EjectionSeats, Ka-50 uses ejection seat - Launchers: fixed possible CTD, disposed tubes can be moved - NVG: night vision goggles simulation by s-Hole, adapted to fit VNV - Weapons: manual reload enabled for vehicle magazines, freeaim for binoculars - minor script improvements
V0.55 Changes 1. New Sat Map colors 2. Couple of new compound clusters 3. Improved ability of AI to get in and out of qalats. 4. New wall and building objects. 5. Some walls will “destruct” rather than fall over. 6. Opteryx’s PBO’s no longer required. 7. Other miscellaneous items.
This update is long in coming – almost 3 months and over 140 hours of work. Unfortunately not a lot to show for the effort. Much time was spent creating new structures and attempting to improve AI behavior using multiple and/or complex AI Pathways. These experiments not only failed, but created havoc with the program when there were even a few units on map.
My follies found that AI Pathways are only sometimes used by individual soldiers, but never by units as a whole. The only way to get squads to move through openings is to make them 3-4 meters wide. Anything smaller than this will be ignored by the AI pathfinding routines. So now entrances to qalats are larger.
You will no doubt still find plenty to get frustrated about regarding the AI pathfinding around the compounds. On the other hand, the AI can do some unexpected things. After numerous attempts to set and keep sentries in the towers, I gave up. However, during a mission I found myself being shot at by some damn Taliban in a tower – the AI had somehow managed to make the guy enter the door and climb the ladder on this own. Go figure…
Note :If you don't have Queen's Gambit installed, you'll lose half the grass clutter, one rock type and one bush type.
