Night Lighting Effects

Quote Sakura_Chan :
This addon was created to enhance the night lighting effects of Arma2.  Here is what is contained within the addon:

• Dim and yellow military style headlights for vehicles
• fixed missing green blinking light on Osprey
• new colors and sizes for aircraft positional lights
• removed ugly lighting on aircraft, lights were really bugged and didn't add anything so I removed them
• new light cones for streetlamps
• new light cones for directional lights (headlights)
• reduced effect and range of searchlight
• increased campfire/burning barrel/fireplace smoke and fire effects
• reduced campfire/burning barrel/fireplace light brightness and changed color to a soft orange

sounds like a proper hand cannon, and the recoil of it leaves you with a tennis elbow  ;)

  LOL..... thats a polite way of phrasing it !

so would it be RSI you get from the recoil of the micro-uzi ? ..... ;)

I don't know, but it will be way better than to be on the receiving end with a massive lead poisoning ;D

3D Editor

Quote i0n0s :
The RTE is 'another' 3D editor for ArmA2, wit it you can:

      - Build missions and save them
      - 3d editor to place objects in easily in the world
      - Multiplayer editor: allows multiple people at the same time w@&k on a mission
      - Game master mode: one or more guys have the ability to modify a running mission the fly depending how the rest of them plays the mission

This version supports ArmA II. E.G. the new factions are now supported. And self-made mission can get exported/saved.

JTD_FireAndSmoke

Quote DMarkwick :
JTD_FireAndSmoke is an effects addon that adds bigger, better and more useful smoke than the default ingame smoke. The ingame smoke is unaffected, this addon "layers" effects over the top. It's MP compliant, looks great, and is AI viewblock by default. Destroyed vehicles will send up huge plumes of smoke visible from miles away and last a long time, very useful for a sense of battlefield presence and history. Additional to this there is a propagating fire functionality that will set forests, buildings and vehicles on fire dependent on proximity, wind, and rain.

New A2 Island - Panthera

Massive climate changes rocked the entire world and heavy ocean flooding left only numerous islands. Panthera is luckly one of them, but people didn't unite in this disaster - army is able to protect only major towns, villages form their own protection squads and neighbouring countries (in order to survive) invade the last island between newly formed sea. Armor is scarce, but four airports serve as an air bridge for more equipment and weapons

Fast Attack Vehicle

This one is reminiscent of the buggy in FC2

Quote Emery :
The DPV is a variant of the Fast Attack Vehicle which was developed during the 1980s as part of the United States' Army's High Technology Light Division (9th Infantry Division). The HTLD was given carte blanche to develop doctrine, decide force structure, and design equipment by then Army Chief of Staff Edward C. Meyer. One of the pieces of equipment created was the Fast Attack Vehicle. Chenowth delivered 120 FAVs to the Army in 1981. Along with light off-road motorbikes, the FAV was intended to provide a highly mobile component to the mostly foot infantry unit.

Cant believe its taken me this long to discover the ACE mod, it adds loads of stuff into the game, from medical supplies (bandages, epinephrine, morphine etc) right through to vehicles like the new US Stryker vehicles - around 10 variants. It even adds Dog tags. Here is the Link to the latest version and the extras pack for it.
