Arma 2 Addon request thread

[HoodRussian13 10]

Hello Comrades! i have an idea, a request, for a desert map. BUT, it is not middle east, but instead north american southwest. the "adobe" homes are already there, i think a terrain with mesas, canyons, small caves(?), cliff dwellings, and maybe arches, would be a neat idea. i love that region, but live a good 4 days drive away. it would be very appriciated if we were to have such beautiful landscape available in the ever expanding ArmAverse. Thanks friends!

Requesting a Australian LRPV (Long range patrol vehicle(6x6 Land rover defender)) used by the Australian army (more commonly the SASR) i did find one by Emery but i heard some of his stuff contained VBS content which i would like to avoid, that and the quality wasn't exactly great...

Typical armorments are a FN Mag 58 (M240) for the commander seat (front left, driver on the right as we drive on the left side of the road) with the top gunner either being armed with a browning M2 HB, Mk19 or Mag 58.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for but Opteryx made a "Nevada Desert Terrain" map for ArmA 1. If you want to enjoy it in ArmA 2 you'll have to download the CAA1 mod

You can get it from here : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=4125

If you feel like to you can also download my airbase template :p, specially made for this map

Hello Everyone...I don't think I've ever posted in this section due to not wanting to bother anyone about making an item I would like to see.

BUT...for our Combat Medical System, especially the British folks out there, we'd like to institute a MERT crew, basically a team of flight surgeons, flight nurse, or flight medic in the air. We need a stretcher variant of the CH-47. Maybe something that can hold a few stretchers and normal seating for the less severely wounded patients.

Anyways, thanks all.

MERT fly in standard Chinook HC.2s; the wounded are treated in the middle of the floor of the cargo space, on whatever foldable emergency litter they were carried on-board in. There aren't any stretcher racks.

The only thing you'd really notice any different about the Chinooks carrying MERT is that they're filled with bags and bags of medical supplies lashed to the existing seating.

Ok, Thanks for that info. Glowbal said that we could use "AttachTo" to place the stretchers in the helo, but the soldiers in the Cargo LOD may not be able to see them. Your thoughts on that???

As to keep on topic in this thread, I'd still like to request a CH-47 with a litter setup...if there's one at all in existance with the military. Here's a link of a CH-47D Litter Configuration....you'll have to scroll down to the bottom of the page though....http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/1-113/AA.HTM

Also, here's a link for a NH-90 MedEvac Variant...basically any medical variants of the helos that don't have one already ...http://www.helis.com/database/news/nh90_medevac/

Our Combat Medical System will utilize these birds perfectly...hopefully, lol.

Don't worry about bothering people. This thread is for suggestions :) If addon makers don't want suggestions they should avoid the thread. You might receive the odd criticism that an idea is too complex or time intensive or something but this is the place to post requests.

AFAIK there are rendering issues with 'attachto' objects inside the pilot LODs where they can only be rendered as though they are outside of the vehicle. This can create 'interesting' distortions in terms of relative scale and distance but I imagine it's something you'd have to try to see how bad it is on certain helos. You'll see an example of it with the ShackTac Littlebirds where the units start appearing behind the benches they're supposed to be sat on when they switch between being actual vehicle cargo, and attachto'd to the side of the helo when using the scripts: http://dslyecxi.com/images/shacktac/ahm6j/ffv5.jpg

I imagine people could quite comfortably make a version of the existing BIS Chinooks with an alternate config, set up to use new .rtm animations for a few of the existing cargo proxy positions; to make it look these occupants are on the floor doing medical-type things, rather than just sat in the seats all nonchalant. It just requires a bit of creativity with how the skeleton is positioned when making the .rtm

I'm not 100% sure if it works, but there could also be a way to use one of the crew proxies in the helis to display things like litters on the floor, medical baggage etc. by setting these objects up as a 'fake' unit, so it can be placed in the helicopter with moveincargo - I think people have used this technique in the past to make visual modifications to BIS vehicles in the absense of MLODs, but it's not something I've had experience with myself.

No doubt you (and most of the people on the BIF who look at mods) probably know about the medivac UH-60L yurapetrov made up much, much better than the open space UH-60M in OA >_>

[raptor 6 actual 13]

Yes, very aware of Yura's work. I didn't mention him because he's done such a great job on his birds, I didn't see a reason to request any changes to it.

[gatordev 214]

I've been looking through Armaholic, but maybe I've missed it... Is there an addon recommended that would cover Syrian opposition WITHOUT having to download a huge mod on top of it? I've been making the beginnings of a Syrian-type set of missions mission on Esbekistan, and the Chechen Rebels (a great addon) as substitutes just aren't cutting it for me.

Thanks, Gunter. But those are Syrian (Regime) soldiers, not Opposition. At least according to documentation.

[HoodRussian13 10]

Thanks for the Nevada terrain, it doesnt exactly have the canyonland-esque landscape im looking for. thanks for the suggestion though, i do like the large size of that nevada terrain though.

[falcon_565 11]

I need someone who can model infantry gear to give me a hand. I'm trying to replicate some late cold war era NATO units in particular the Canadian and Dutch forces. There are two pieces of gear that I've been unable to replicate that I could use some help with in particular.

First is pattern 82 web gear with the US pattern mag pouches. Here are two reference photos:

The second is the OTV flack vest. Seen here and here. Some more references:

Also the associated

has lots of footage of it.

If anyone is interested in giving me a hand please let me know via PM or here on the forums, thanks.

[cptdavo 10]

Not sure if anyone is keen on helping me or willing to make a more modern reskin/texture for the BIS CH-47F.

Reference/Sample pics.

Also wondering if it is possible to create a flare launcher model and attach it to the BIS model? (Looking at adding 4 of them to the rear)

More Reference stuff here

I think Konyo was planning to do a Delta model after he finished the MH-47, he was talking about it in the last 2-3 pages of his discussion thread.

It's not really possible to attach things to BI models, unfortunately.

What's the best tool to keep mods updated without having to check manually if they did or not? Six updater is great if the mod is actually available on there, but most aren't.

Does anyone know about these masks featured in the screenshots?

Is this a private addon?

I can't seem to find any info on it at all.

DOes anybody have plans for Soviet military hardware in Bundeswehr and US army (OPFOR detachments and SF aircrafts) colors?

Is there a addon of type61 in Gundam or fictional tank addon?

I saw a photos of T-72M, MT-LB, Shilka, Strela-10 as OPFOR hardware, also Mi-17 as SOF aircraft (don't remember the number of airwing) and Mi-24.
