So far we have

DCS/FC2 - Eagle Dynamics

ArmA2 - Bohemia Interactive

probably gonna run all games without MODs, unless we get permission before hand by the MOD maker(s) and the DEV/PUB.

Glad to see you guys are getting a dedicated game convention, and it sounds thus far as that you have an interesting lineup, best wishes, hope to see and hear how it goes.

Pretty sure you don't need permission from mod makers to run their mods, as people make them so that others' may play with them.

Wish I wasn't on the other side of the pond. I would have had fun there.

Well as ArmA/OFP is defined by it's community, and therefor the content created by it's community, I'd say download every single addon you can find for whichever ArmAversum games you will play, choose the ones you like the best, and create a mission or two for each, or use a community made mission that uses them. :)

[joey_45 0]

I for one can't make missions for love or money...

So if anyone would like to make a few short demo like missions for random people to pick up and play that would be good - with any addons you like.

But then again that up the BI if they want addons shown.

[-R-CON-Pantera 10]
