CSJ sent us the Beta 3 version of this nice Auto Gyro helicopter. Beta 2 included an amphibious model and a fixed rotor texture path. Beta 3 adds Gyro Pack with new models: Mini Helicopter (with float version) and AutoGyro with instruments. Also improved some textures and added basic scripts so player can push or rotate aircraft if stuck in tight place. A very recreational aircraft for some ArmA island hopping!

RockofSL from the renown RKSL Studios has released new screenshots of their WIP on the Merlin HC3 addon on the BI Forums.
As you can see we’ve made quite a bit of progress with the Merlin HC.3. It’s now fully mapped and mostly textured but it really needs reworking a bit to make it suitable for release. There are still some things to do but the planned release will hopefully see some pretty interesting features: - Fully working and practical cockpit - DIRCM and Chaff & Flare countermeasures - Rescue winch - Under-slung Loads (see Cargo System) - Dynamic Rotor system (see Dynamic Rotor System)
Due to popular demand there will be several versions released time permitting: - Merlin HC3 - Merlin HC3A (MK512 recently purchased from Denmark and upgraded to UK mil spec) - Danish Merlin MK512 (as above but with different internals and countermeasures) - International EH101 – Grey – Roundel capable - International EH101 – Green – Roundel capable - International EH101 – Yellow/SAR – Roundel capable
Sparky from the Hellenic Warfare Mod has released a lot of teasing pictures of their UH-1H Huey addon yet to come on the Hellenic Warfare Mod Website.
Keeping up with our promise for quality addon production, the Hellenic Warfare Mod in association with the Hellenic ArmA community proudly presents a legend. The Hellenic Army Aviation UH-1H Huey transport helicopter is now undergoing structural and functional beta testing, with exquisite results so far. Having already tested the fully working model and textures, we are now in the process of incorporating some scripting enhancements that will take the 'beast' to the next realism level. As always, the model is accurately depicting the internal and external views of the Hellenic Army Aviation air veteran, bearing 2 mounted MG3 machineguns on port and starboard sides. Needless to say, the model and textures are made from scratch.
The helicopter will be available for downloading when beta testing is done, and it will be part of an addon pack that will contain a couple more surprises. To that end, a bug tracking system has been created at the HWM site. Any realistic and well intended observation will be greatly appreciated. So if you find something, kindly report it to the following link Bug Tracker (Beta Stage) No sign in required.

Azrael000 from the Red Eyed Ravens Clan has send us a few WIP shots of his futuristic weapons. The mod is also looking for someone to help them texturing these weapons, if you are interested please drop Azrael a PM. Hi, I'm Azrael000 Leader of the RED EYED RAVENS Clan (RER) I want to introduce you to our mod samples. The Sub Machine Gun is using .50 cal shells (same as the desert eagle), it is this extremly powerful weapon and has a titanium frame so its very light (We are planing to create an infantry that will use them too).
The Assault Rifle will use 50 Browing .50 cal shells or 50 Metal Storm shells each of them will contain five 9mm projectiles, the weapon is also made from Titanium.
The story of our mod will be placed in near future (Kill Zone Style)

CBFASI from CBF Shipbuilding has released screenshots of their Work in progress on the BI Forums. CBF Shipbuilding are working alongside RKSL Studios. These pictures are featuring an old battleship and a modern assault ship probably of the HMS Ocean Class. They are far from being finished, but it's nice to know that some boats are going to sail on all that water around.
New Dockyard still under construction but they yard is already in use with the latest ship rolled down the slip and now getting fitted out, much work to do but she is now recognizeable for what she is...
The old battleship has had turrets built and has been on used on exercise to check the capability, 355mm has quite a punch..
JOHNsArT has released some new screenshots of his exellent looking King Tiger tank. For more information regarding this project, and to see more screenshots, visit John's thread on the BI Forums.
