Background: Spoiler Created during the second world war as part of the British airborne forces in Mediterranean, the Parachute Regiment and SAS squadron have fought alongside UK armed forces in almost every major British operations in the Mediterranean or Middle east theater, such has the Suez Crisis, the Dhofar Rebellion the Aden Emergency, and the multinational Force in Lebanon. In the 1980’s, a small contingent of Parachute company and SAS sticks was deployed to support the British Expeditionary Forces during the Falklands war. During the cold war Era, the Altis Parachute Regiment served as a quick reaction force of NATO powers, able to be rapidly deployed on mainland Europe or Persian Gulf in case of invasion of the Warsaw Pact forces. During the State Scarlet crisis, Several companies of the Altis Parachute Regiment were dropped over Germany to reinforce the elements of the Bundeswehr holding the area of Weferlingen against advance of East German forces. Pictures: Spoiler (https://i.imgur.com/zcxqF9i.png)](https://i.imgur.com/KDp7jX7.png) Features: One new faction (NATO side), including Altian airborne forces and SAS squadron men Retextured Global Mobilization & A3 base game uniforms & equipment, in Fictional DPM and Brushstroke pattern, adapted from AAF camo palette New assets ported from A2: Headgear (helmets), Weapons (FAL, GPMG-like machine gun, MP5sd) Retextured Vehicles (two pattern, Altis camouflage & plain green), and new markings Static line parachute (see Credits and Acknowledgements) and scripted drop system waypoints Credits & Acknowledgments: BI Studio for the A2 source files GM team for the templates of their assets toadie2k for the FAL animation (https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/163106-toadies-smallarms-and-animations-for-arma3/) Deltagamer for the Static line Parachute model and animation (see https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/181542-static-line-parachute-mod/) Killzonekid for his Paradrop functions (adapted from http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-epic-armour-drop/) IndeedPete for his templates (which I adapted ) CUP for allowing to unpack their PBOs, which allowed me to learn how to code (but I did NOT use their assets) Drongo, for his config creator Skiddy, yevgeni89 from the BI forums for their suggestions The ARMA community for collecting and sharing the documentation on modding Disclaimer: To be used at your own risks! I don' take responsibility in case of unexpected damage to your system I don't play MP, so if you encounter bug, please report and I'll try to fix it Compatibility with other mods (Alive, ACE): Not tested yet Compatibility with ZEUS: Normally yes, but not tested No other dependencies than Marksman and GM DLCs; otherwise this is standalone Known bugs/Future Plans: This is not supposed to be ultra-realistic and honestly there could be some anachronisms, but it gives my vision of a fictional unit using available assets. It is limited by my skills and the time I can spend on it, so you could probably find higher quality mods or models - still, I don't think this is redundant with existing materials. I tried however to make as neat and smooth as possible, this is the least of courtesy to the potential users. If there are any bugs to report - please let me know, and I'll try to fix it (it will be an opportunity for me to learn something new). The code of the config could probably be optimized - I have not seen any bugs, missing relationship popping up on my system, but it is always, so please let me now No Groups yet - to come in subsequent update No plans for future assets, but that could come ! I will release the source files (texture templates, ported 3d model etc...)

I have also updated the mod with an hotfix to add vehicles (and some SAS) to Zeus. Please use this thread or the one on steam workshop to report the bugs (also suggestions or other remarks). In the meantime, I am preparing the source files Cheers ! GFT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
