Dr_Eyeball has released an updated Devastation Beta v0.7 mission pack on the BI Forums.
Introduction: I'm constantly reading about how players want more complex Team vs Team missions and are even asking for the Project Reality mod concept and there are not enough people doing full featured TvT missions which are suitable for public servers, so this game mode (AAS and sub-components combined) has been designed and created to incorporate the fundamental concepts of Project Reality along with many improvements and extra features to create a unique game mode experience for Arma 2.
Game mode description: The Devastation/AAS v2 is a competitive team versus team MP game mode suitable for public servers. It uses the basis of Sector Control with the added extensions of grouped zones, linked sectors and sequenced capture order to provide a battlefront concept which still works well for fewer players (20-50). It does not work well for too few players (eg: 6v6). ... * Jan 24 - Current version is beta 0.7 - do not play older versions since performance has significantly changed, bugs fixed and made compatible with Arma 2 patch 1.03. * Game mode engine is at beta development stage to finalise all intended functionality. * Next version will be either v0.8 or v2.0. * Allow more time for this opening post to be updated properly once the manual is updated.

And Fokker VII of the German Imperial Army in the painting of the Jasta 15. Detailed information is contained in the readme files. Requires PKW_WWI Pilots.

Madbull from the [R3F] Team has released his [R3F] Artillery and Logistic: Manual artillery and advanced logistic (mission script) on the BI Forums.
The [R3F] Artillery and Logistic is a mission-script system which revolutionizes the way to play about the logistic and artillery. This system permits to play in a realistic manner and fills a lack in ArmA 2.
The logistic part of the system permits to transport and to position any equipment type (ammo, static weapon, MASH, sandbag, ...) by different methods (lift, tow, load in cargo).
The artillery part of the system offers the possibility to the leader of an artillery battery to compute fire solutions (gun orientation, ...) according to the forward observer indications. Then the leader of an artillery battery can transmit the fire orders to the gunners. The gunners orient their guns (or mortars) according to the angles of the fire order.
The two systems (artillery and logistic) are released together because they are complementary and it requires only one installation. However it is possible to disable the artillery features and keep only the logistic ones.
Edit 24/01/10: v 1.1 released
v1.1 - Fix of a bug with velocity of objects with ACE2 - Add the possibility to have a non-movable artillery command quarter - Some additionnal precisions in the explanation about the ballistic table generation
Edit 25/01/10 14:35 : Madbull informed us about the release of a tweaked 1.1 version, so a reload of the script pack is needed.

Beton has released an updated - 1.1- version of his Winter Nome Island and an updated version -v1.32- of his Beton Addons on the BI Forums and added a Summer version of Nome Island.
Nome Island Winter Vers: 1.1 for Arma 2 ... This island was mostly for testing. I decided to make it a little nicer and release it. Inspired by the area around Nome in Alaska. A fictional island not far from the coast. Its a very small map (about 4x4 kilometres) with an island. You can find two small settlements and a lighthouse connected by a small road. The island is mostly covered with snow and has many rocky areas. There is not much but mostly custom vegetation but the bumpy ground and the rocks may give good cover for infantry. ... Changes in v1.1: - terraingrid changed for more performance - added and moved some plants, rocks and some objects for testing - minor changes to satmap and cluttersettings ... Betons Addons:
These addons contain all the custom made objects like plants, buildings etc. which are needed for my maps. There will be updates every now and then. The updates wil be available as full download and as cumulative patch for the ones who already have the previous version. Ill try to keep the addons downwards compatible so you only need the latest version. Atm the objects are only suitable for mapmakers as the don´t appear in the editor yet.
