W0lle from the Cold War Rearmed Mod has informed us on our Forums about the release of a standalone CWR Islands Complete Pack v1.0 and a CWR Islands "Do it yourself" v1.0 pack. Both variants need the Nogova Hotfix!
Often requested and now ready for you to use - our cute islands as standalone pack.
Playing the campaigns with the ACE or CSLA Mod or even with Project'85 stuff? Converting your favorite OFP Missions into ArmA without being forced to use the CWR Mod? Everything is possible now and we hope you make good use of this.
We made 2 variants for you to choose from, the "Complete Pack" and the "Do it yourself Variant". The first is the complete pack with all 5 islands ready for you to use, the second contains just the necessary config files for those who can or want unpack the already downloaded addons. Please see the included readme for instructions.

NZDF CRASH from the NZDF Mod published several new pictures of their latest work on the BI Forums
Hey all just a quick not on what ive done recently and to clear up on some people's views. I have done a complete new dpm pattern for the troops getting rid of the british colours snout had based the troops off and now more realistic i hope. Any suggestions needed in order to improve the textures will be taken aboard and implemented if possible.
Ive also done a new paint scheem on the rnzaf c130h invalidating the poor loooking blueish colour and now making it similar in colour to its realife equivalent as well as now being ace compatibe with flares and all.
Recently we attained permission from team kbt and cheyenne to use and modify the p3 orion into the rnzaf p3k with anti-sub,CAS and surveilance varients (dont laugh on occaision NZ does use the P3 on our bombing ranges as we no longer use any fast movers)
Once a couple of us get Arma2 we will try focus on making it work as it does in aa1, also just to clear this up we arent affiliated with VMA. (Map used is Padoga for the screenshots) Big thanks goes to Cheyenne,Rocket,wld427 and last but not least mankyle.

Edit June 2 : Hlavac from the BI Forum Team has released a message on the BI Forums.
I have moved the forums to a new powerful dedicated server so that it does not interfere with our other webs and can be tuned independently. Expect minor outages as I squeeze the last bits of performance out of it with minor tweaks over the next few days.. Enjoy, Hlavac
31 May 2009 : Placebo has informed us the BI Forums will be unavailable probably until Monday. Before the closing it was more and more difficult to join the forums, and the official web site was down many times forbidding ArmA2 beta patch download from ArmA2.com.
... Possibly Monday, need to separate the forums from ArmA2.com as the traffic on the forums was taking the website down with them.
