Alex.Sworn from the ArmA Guide Team released his latest island, called Gardina in the BI Forums. This island has been created by a tool that he is currently working on. With this tool it is possible to take graphical and SAS data to create an island. This island is created from NASA data of New York and a SAR data set of the DASA from America.
This evening I would like to direct your attention on a new program. I had the idea to simply write a program which takes graphical and SAS data to create an island.
I carried this idea for two years now and was finally able to finish it yesterday. The prototype created its first island and I would like to show you pictures of the program, but that wouldn't make much sense, because it's only
a command line program.

NoWonderDog has released an updated version of his Tank Fire Control Systems in the BI Forums.
NWD_TankFCS v0.2 Released
This includes many, many changes:
-- AI T-72s now load APFSDS by default
-- AI tanks no longer try to attack by firing their rangefinders into the sky (???)
-- New T-72 machine gun ammo loadout (this should be the correct loadout, regardless of what you may find online)
-- many new ammunition types added to the config, although not yet programmed into the FCS.
-- New tank models, with many new features:
- main gun reticles are now accurate at any zoom level. Both tanks have two field of view levels that will automatically toggle when you zoom in or out by the appropriate amount (as long as you use the keyboard for zoom).
- T-72 turret is now declined 1°13' forward, as it should be
- T-72 driver can now unbutton (but the turret is locked when he does)
- T-72 commander's AA machine gun is now mounted on the rear of the cupola, and can no longer be fired from within the tank (the AI does not unbutton in combat, however, and thus will never use it)
- M1A1 commander's weapon station is remodeled to look (kind of) like the real thing
- M1A1 commander's machine gun can now only be fired from inside the tank or (unaimed) from a semi-buttoned position. You are currently not more protected when semi-buttoned than when unbuttoned. If you play with external views, you will still be able to fire ( and aim! ) the gun from the external view. You can also, due to a limitation in ArmA, zoom in to 3x magnification when semi-buttoned and looking through the vision block.
- M1A1 gun superelevation is now applied by physically moving the gun barrel after you lase, instead of moving the shell when it's fired.
- M1A1 dynamic lead is now applied by directly rotating the turret, and not by rotating the hull and relying on the AI driver to keep the hull stationary
-- New, radically different damage models. Tanks are much better protected on their frontal aspects, and are completely immune to small arms.
All the AI problems should be fixed in this version; they are very deadly now. Taking on an M1A1HA in a T-72M1 is usually a losing proposition, but if you can get the first shot you have a chance.
I still haven't tested this mod online, but it should be much more compatible than before. It relies heavily on animations embedded in the model, however, and I wouldn't be surprised if it requires the mod to be present on the server.
It's rather complex now, and I may have introduced lots of new bugs. I appreciate any and all bug reports. I'm aware of the model warnings in ArmA.rpt, but they don't cause any problems as far as I've seen. The degenerated faces warning is actually a false alarm, as it's referring to the (very small but nonzero area) faces in the TPD-K1 analog range display.

Inkompetent has released his 'Better Kamov' over on the BI Forums. The addon aims to correct the issues with the BIS Kamov by making it more realistic.
Kamov2A42ROF.pbo
----------------
This addon changes the 'Low' and 'High' Rate of Fire-modes on the Ka-50 to more actual ones.
'Low' is now 350 rounds per minute and 'High' is 600 rounds per minute (550-600 IRL, but I picked the higher value since the gunning in ArmA is like a crippled whale trying to shoot a slingshot).
The burst length is 10 rounds in 'Low' and 20 rounds in 'High' ROF modes. IRL the pilot gets to choose which, but with the controls in ArmA I found this to be more manageable.
Also, for better clarity the weapon isn't just listed as "Low" and High", but as "2A42 Low ROF" and "2A42 High ROF".
KamovRipple.pbo
---------------
This addon replaces the default automatic firing mode with one missile at a time to the russian salvo firing.
You have two choices of rate of fire: 2 missiles in a salvo, or eight.
The name is also changed from "Rocket" to "S-8 80mm" which is the actual name of the rockets fired.

The french addon maker Gemini released his Training Targets in the BI Forums. You can view an example video HERE.
Hi all !
I needed some training targets for a mission, but thoses in the editor were not recognized by AI. So I decided to modify some values by myself.
For sure it's not a fantastic addon, but maybe it would be helpful for someone.

6thSense.eu have updated their Pack1 modification which contains various scripts and enhancements for Armed Assault on the BI Forums.
SIX_Misc Changes
* Made the pack compatible with ExtendedInitEventhandlers by Solus, v1.01 included with the package.
* Changed the Sides Array to use side objects instead of strings
SIX_CRDS Changes
* Cleaned up CRDS considerably, only starting certain scripts on units after they get hit, instead of spawning scripts at start that wait for conditions
* Volume Tuning... AGAIN...
SIX_Blood Changes
* Slightly Tuned settings, but still need to figure out what is causing slowdowns on some computers
I have updated the package on the server, aswell as made a copy and added "f" to the rar, just to be sure so you dont get the old version from cache (Only SIX_CRDS.pbo is updated).

There is one strange bug i can not fix:
If you can't attach a satchel to a vehicle wich is not empty you have to reveal the vehicle first (default: right mouse button). This happens only with [Options>Difficulty: "Auto report" = Disabled]
