Yesterday, 23:32 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=819 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=819 Yoma well known for his Addon Synchroniser has released another useful gadget for Armed Assault on his website. This time he made a small tool (Yoma Arma Log Parser) that allows you to filter your Arma.rpt (ArmA Error log file).I made another small tool that could be interesting for server admins people who have a lot of problems.All it basicly does is open your Arma.rpt and show the lines in there grouped. (If you have 100 times the same message, it will show you this message only once, but you can see via the count column that it's there 100 times) Yesterday, 22:03 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=818 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=818 RockofSL from the RKSL Studios has released an interesting addon in the BIS Forums. It is the standart BIS A-10 airplane, but the flight model has been improved. The A-10 should know be controlled more realistic. The addon doesn't overwrite the BIS A-10 it simply adds another plane to the Aircraft section.This isnt really meant to be a playable addon. Its main purpose is to demonstrate that it is perfectly possible to change the handling of aircraft within ArmA to produce *reasonable* flight handling.PLEASE NOTE: This addon is purely for demonstration and testing purposes and is intended as a learning resource for addon makers.This version has:- Improved Acceleration- Reduced take off distances- Slower more stable pitch rate- Adjusted roll rate- Increased Lift- More -positive- control response- Does not bleed speed in a turn as fast as Stock values Yesterday, 21:38 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=817 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=817 arremba_san_zorzo has shown us a nice work in progress picture of this Italian Land Rover for the Pedagne Mod. 7 May 2008 - 23:19 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=816 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=816 Mateck has updated his M1A1 (HA) tank in the BIS Forums.

All due credit should go to the original creators. Model, skin and configuration of the OFP original are by McCancey, Helifreak, Terpentin and Marco-Polo (BWMod). Adapted for Lowlands Warrior and converted to Arma by Sander.Picture taken from Armaholic.com 6 May 2008 - 21:38 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=812 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=812 Snake Man from the PMC Tactial Squad has converted the old OFP Afghanistan island made by the AGS team to Armed Assault and released it in the BIS Forums.This is OFP port with pretty much the same look as you found in original release. Terrain and objects have been edited to work in ArmA. This is a release with Agent Smith (AGS) permissions.There are some issues like faulty geometry's on few models (one or two buildings you can walk through walls) and the usual OFP style forest block floating here and there (nothing we can do about it now). Also as tip, dont fly fast moving aircrafts with 10km viewdistances, situation like that is prone to CTDs. Other than that, there should not be major issues. Depending if people like this or not, I might put in some more time to it and fixtweak issues.This addon doesn't require any other addons to work, including Queens Gambit. You only need default ArmA v1.12 installed. 6 May 2008 - 21:22 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=810 http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?cat=news&id=810 Nicholas Bell has released a new version of his Schmalfelden map on the BI Forums.Schmalfelden is a map based on actual terrain in Germany, created using a military 1:50,000 scale topographic map and a Google Earth image of the area. I selected this area for recreating realistic engagements in a European environment which might typically described as -good tank country-, terrain which Soviet Forces would have sought to exploit with their tank and mechanized infantry forces had the Cold War ever gone -hot-....V.82 4 May 20081. Further improvements on satellite map.2. Eliminated another 30,000 trees. Frame rate continues to improve.3. Fixed several more ugly intersections.4.
