RKSL Studios is Proud to present the Second Release of the RKSLA3 Attachments Pack This is the first of a series of Small Arms themed addons that I'm working on. Hopefully plenty more will appear in the coming years of Arma 3's life and this initial release will give you some indication of what I'm striving for in the long run. This addon adds a small selection of scope attachments to Arma 3, utilising the game's weapon customisation feature. Currently the pack contains four optical sights: A Schmidt & Bender 3-12×50 PM II marksman scope (available in two variants both with black, desert and woodland colour schemes) A Schmidt & Bender 5-25×56 PM II sniper scope (with black, desert and woodland colour schemes) A Trijicon RMR mini red-dot sight, (variants for both rifles and handguns, both with black and Flat Dark Earth colour schemes) The UK Armed Forces Elcan Lightweight Day Sight (LDS) (in black and RAL 7006 coyote brown). An Eotech EO552 1x Holographic Sight (in black and RAL 7006 coyote brown). The main aim of the pack is to reflect personal equipment available to members of the UK's Armed Forces and their weapon systems. Full changelogs: RKSL_LDS.pbo RKSL_PM_II.pbo RKSL_PM_525.pbo RKSL_RMR.pbo RKSL_EOT552.pbo Be sure to read the online documentation (pending) and readmes for classnames and where to find the attachments in the editor. This addon addon requires the Community Base Addon! Joint Rails is required to maximise compatibility with Arma 3 weapons: Not only official weapons, but community-made weapons as well if they incorporate the common rail platform. Joint Rails is included in Community Base Addons (CBA) The RKSL Attachments Pack will hopefully be expanded to include more items in future - not limited to weapon scopes alone. The focus of the pack will likely continue to be to reflect equipment issued to UK Armed Forces, but additions will be made by the RKSL team on an ad-hoc basis, reflecting the current needs of our own projects and particular whims as addon makers. We hope you enjoy it. **Downloads** v.3.02(c) Download Mirror 1 - @STEAM Workshop Download Mirror 2 - @RKSL Studios I accept donations if you want to provide one, no matter how small.

RKSL Bovington Test Area BETA Bovington Camp is a real location in the Southwest of England. Its primary use is to teach members of the British Forces to drive and use all the vehicles in the British inventory. But it is also used to test and develop new equipment and improvements to existing kit. The map was started due to a conversation with @mikephoenix about having a map to test our vehicles on. I blame him for all that followed. This represents a lot of blood, pain sweat and so many tears its really not funny. It is not the best product I've ever released. And I'm reluctant to release it in this state. But so many people want to get hold of it I've chosen to let it escape into the wild. Some things you really need to understand: This really is an UNFINISHED, WORK IN PROGRESS!! Lots of broken and messed up things. You MUST set your view distance to no more than 4000m to get the best performance. It uses a 4096x4096 height map and has a 1m per vertex resolution and any view distance over 4k causes massive FPS drops. It will be updated and improved upon over time. That time frame may be months or millenia. This version is a slight step backwards in terms of progress in that it has a lot of placeholder buildings and objects. The green buildings are placeholders for custom buildings. These will be swapped out over time. White objects are unfinished or I've screwed up. They will be replaced faster than the green buildings. It was intended from day 1 to be an internal project soley for Mike and myself. If you want to whine and whinge about it, just unsubscribe and move along. And if you cant resist are going to whinge.

RKSL Studios presents the Official Port of our Puma HC1. NOTE: I'm not entirely happy with this release but im getting pretty frustrated with custom animations. So much so i need a break from it, lest it get binned. So I'm releasing it as a BETA and taking a little break from the project to work on fixes for the Foxhound and some other things. The Puma HC1 first entered service in 1971, and the RAF currently has a fleet of 34 aircraft available to the front-line Support Helicopter Force. The aircraft are operated by Nos 33 and 230 Squadrons, both based at RAF Benson. The combined Puma Force is separated into 5 operational flights and an operational conversion flight, which offers flexibility in its role with both desert warfare and arctic warfare specialist equipment available for fitting to the aircraft.

FULL DOCUMENTATION: Puma HC1 v3.090 ADDON FEATURES RKSL Dynamic Rotor System Sling Load Camera Countermeasures Sling loading upto 3000kg Custom Advanced Flight model Unique Lighting system Multiple paint schemes. Flat NATO Green 90's Two Tone Green 90's Two Tone Snow 70/80's Three Tone Green and Grey (Northern Ireland Scheme) Tiger Meet 2005 United Nations White Desert Pink '90/91 Fictional Dark Tiger Fictional Royal Navy Coastal Scheme A BIT OF HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS. This model was first made in 2008. And bar a few tweaks and fixes hasn't really changed too much. The UV mapping and poly count were designed for the ArmA1 game engine. ArmA3 is far more capable and flexible than anything we had back then. Which means that this particular model is not going to be developed any further. I will continue to support the release until the new models for the HC2 and AS330 Series helos comes online. PLEASE NOTE: This build of the Puma uses a lighting system. To turn on the dash and cabin lights just turn on the aircraft lights. To turn off the external lights all you need do is retract the landing gear. PLANNED FUTURE FEATURES 100% new model. HC2 varient including: Full glass cockpit Increased power to simulate the Turbomeca Makila engines, new gearboxes and tail rotors Add option to control individual lights FINDING THE ADDON IN THE EDITOR You can find the Puma under: BLUFOR UK Armed Forces Helicopters Puma HC1 FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS Things you need to know if you intend on flying the Puma to its limits.. Speed and Limits: Vne = 257kph - Velocity Never Exceed. This is the absolute max safe speed of the aircraft. Going faster than this may result in damage to the airframe or loss of control. Notes: The Puma HC1 has a very high centre of gravity. Be careful when: taxiing during rolling landings. Max safe speed for rolling landing is 75kph Watch for loss of lift when making sharp braking turns. In AFM Try not to use too much rudder about 160kph. Similarly, be careful about pulling up rapidly and over torquing the main rotor. A WORD ABOUT REALISM We strive to make all our addons as realistic as the game engine and our own capabilities allow. This means that real world speeds and capabilities are simulated where possible. Compromises have and will be made where necessary but we will not downscale or completely cripple an aircraft, system or weapon to fit into the limited spaces some ArmA maps provide. We genuinely believe that the manual operation of aircraft is a skill that should be interesting and fun. Not every aircraft flies the same nor do they have the same capabilities. If you can't learn and adapt to change then stick with the vanilla equipment. The Puma has been designed from the ground up to use the Advanced Flight Model. A lot of effort has gone into developing it, give it a try. Its pretty forgiving and damage tolerant. Take the time to learn it and you won't be disappointed.

Annnd we're back. After a 6month hiatus for personal reasons things have finally settled down and we're slowly starting to pick up where we left off. To that end I am delighted to announce that we will soon be releasing the ArmA3 native Typhoon v3.000. All the joys of ArmA3 features and the usual RKSL ones... Fully working mirrors BIS flares Engine & Smoke effects PhysX support Tweaked Flight model Improved Air Weapons Pack All previous ArmA2 plugins brought over to ArmA3 And a few more... Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will WIP Wednesdays be returning? A: Yes but only once at the end of each month. As much fun as they were they turned into a bit of a monster in terms of time to prepare and publish. They took quite a lot of time away from the actual act of making content which wasnt the point. Q: Will you be bringing all the old RKSL content over? A: Yes, eventually. One by one we will port the existing models over and include the new ArmA3 features. The first releases will be direct ports with the basic A3 features etc. Later releases will see improvements or in some cases new models. Q: What about new content? A: Yes there will be some new content but we are going to focus on the stuff we have shown you already in the previous WIP Wednesdays. Q: When are you going to release XXXXX addon(s) A: If you've been hanging around in this community long enough you already know the answer to that. If you are new... (Old timers all together now)... "When its done!!" :P Q: Whats happening with IAP? (Ilhas Africanos Project) A: We'll create a new thread for that at the appropriate time. Thats all for the moment. Keep an eye on the RKSL website for more details. www.RKSLStudios.info

As promised, the RKSL Christmas tradition continues, Here's the second release. RKSL Studios presents the Official Port of our Foxhound LPPV. The Ocelot Foxhound LPPV was specifically designed to meet the UK MoD’s £200m LPPV programme requirements and replace the Snatch Land Rovers in use with the army. The Snatch Land Rovers have been criticised for their inability to provide protection against IEDs and roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan. The LPPV programme’s objective was to have 400 light protected patrol vehicles production ready by 2010. The UK MoD purchased two Ocelot Foxhound vehicles for testing in April 2010. The invitation to tender (ITT) was issued in May 2010. In September 2010, the Ocelot Foxhound LPPV was selected under the programme against the contender Supacat and NP Aerospace consortium’s SPV400. An initial £180m order for 200 Ocelot Foxhound vehicles was made through urgent operational requirements (UOR) process in November 2010 In December 2011 a further 100 Ocelot Foxhounds were ordered as part of a £400m package of protected vehicles and Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) technology for British Forces in Afghanistan. The contract was finalised in June 2012. The UK MoD also plans to acquire additional 25 vehicles at a cost of £30m. ArmA2 to ArmA3 This is an improved port of the original A2 release into the A3 game engine. The model itself is largely unchanged with some minor edits to add features and fix some old material bugs. This version also supports some of the newer A3 features such as texture customisation.

This means that real world speeds and capabilities are simulated where possible. Compromises have and will be made where necessary but we will not downscale or completely cripple an aircraft, system or weapon to fit into the limited spaces some ArmA maps provide. GPMG Iron sights - When I asked an RAF Regiment Gunner (that spent 3 tours on the Foxhound) how easy was it to use the iron sights on the Foxhound he replied, "Nearly impossible, the pivot system doesn't let you in most angles unless you are very tall and can twist yourself in knots." When I asked him how he aimed he replied, "That's what tracers are for". Engine Power - The current engine/physx setup approximates the real world power. ArmA simply cannot simulate the range of the real world gearbox. Simply put these are not as fast as the vanilla ArmA MRAPS but they are easier to use at patrol speeds.

Well its Christmas, and barring the last few years, its always been an RKSL Studios tradition to release new addons at Christmas. He's the first of this years escapees. RKSL Studios presents the WK450 Watchkeeper 450 Remotely Piloted Air System. The Watchkeeper WK450 is a Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) for all weather, intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) use by the British Army. It has a mass of 450 kg, a typical endurance of 17 hours, a payload capacity of 150 kg and uses a rotary Wankel engine. It can operate up to 150 km from the Ground Control Station (although multiple stations can be linked to extend the range). It was originally intended to enter service in June 2010, but years of delays, technical issues, hardware modifications, difficulties in training sufficient pilots and incidents means that it is not expected to be fully operational until late 2017.

Apologies for the pics. Im using a Surface Pro4 so it really doesnt have the GPU to do much more than everything on low. Features: LPD with helipad. PhysX compatible. Drivable. Multicrew positions Still to do: While the txtures do look ok there is still more work to do. RVMATs etc The CWIS isnt functioning. The PhysX in the dock is a bit tempermental I need to work on the Geometry a bit more. Animations - radar and cranes etc still need work. Loading management scripts - while the entire thing is PhysX compatible so you can drive around it. If you want to load something and expect it to stay put while you move the ship you need to lock it down. The scripted slots are limited and i'm working on expanding these.. Destruction - I'm planning on makeing it sinkable. Which means debris and lift rafts etc. Various other bits and pieces. Installation: Use your mod folders Use the BIS Addon Launcher. Finding the addon in-game: In the Editor look under BluFor > UK Armed Forces > Boats > RKSL Albion LPD or RKSL Bulwark LPD. Placement ingame: Place the ships atleast 20m from shore. This are big vessels and need space around them. Known Issues: Placing helicopters on the deck needs to be done carefully. Dont drop them from height. This will cause both objects to explode. Steering at speed results in the ship slewing. Take it slowly at first until you get used to the controls Too much speed can be built up if you are not careful. This will be limited eventually. Sharp turns resort in listing Feedback is gratefully recieved. Thanks Rock NOTE: This was an APRIL FOOLS joke. Since some people seem to have absolutely no sense of humour I'm adding this line in. LPD = Landing Platfrom DUCK. A Giant 40m Rubber Duck. Quack Quack! http://www.rkslstudios.info/index.php?/files/file/26-beta-of-albionbulwark-class-lpds/

I've been delaying making this thread until we have something substantial to show, but its come to my attention that there are lots of rumours flying around again. So I thought I'd let people have access to some truth and facts for a change. We are still here and working. We've taking the time learn the ArmA2 Engine. For those that don't read the RKSL site regularly we've stopped supporting ArmA1 and are now solely focused on ArmA2. I'm slowly porting all the projects over and updating our website as I go. Just like with ArmA1 we're focusing on the British kit again but there are already some "International" projects on the table (more about that on another day). All the UK projects listed below are in game and working so some extent. Most are WIP but some are much closer to release than others. And some rely on scripted system that are still in development. RAF Projects: Typhoon F2 & FGR4 - New for ArmA2 Tornado GR4 Harrier GR7 & 9 JCA (aka F-35) - New for ArmA2 Hawk T1 Hawk T2 C-130J Hercules Seaking HAR.3 (SAR) (Its only used in the UK but its already been made and textured so we'll release it anyway) Merlin HC3 Merlin HC3A Puma HC1 Chinook HC4 (what the upgraded HC2 will be called) Chinook HC3A MQ9 Reaper UAV + GCS - New for ArmA2 Hermes WK450 UAV + GCS Watchkeeper UAV + GCS - New for ArmA2 Desert Hawk UAV series + Rover Terminal - New for ArmA2 Type 101 Radar (UK) Royal Navy Seaking HC4+ Seaking HAS6CR (aka HC6) Merlin HM1 Lynx HAS3 Lynx HMA8 Albion Class LPD HMS Ocean LPH HMS Queen Elizabeth Class CVF Army air Corps: Westland Lynx AH7 Westland Lynx AH9 Westland Apache AH1 - New for ArmA2 British Army: MAN Trucks (Mostly specialised stuff) - New for ArmA2 Panther CLV (UKF don't have one so i thought id make one - 50% atm) - New for ArmA2 Rapier FSC Common Weapons Packs - using Myke's IWAS Standards UK Air Weapons Pack - New for ArmA2 - all the weapons and pylons used by the UK EU Air Weapons Pack - New for ArmA2 - all the EU weapons and pylons used by RKSL (non RAF) aircraft eg IRIS-T, Penguin ASM etc * Its assumed that BIS have taken care of the US ones. Systems: Countermeasures Plugin - Adds flare to all enabled aircraft ArmA2.pbo (Common enabler plugin so that BIS units can use all RKSL systems e.g. Countermeasures and Cargo system etc) Cargo System - As per ArmA1, a system to allow objects to be loaded and transported around the map) UAV System - New for ArmA2 - new MP focused UAV system. Provides a new method of using UAV's in a more realistic way for large MP games. Release Schedule If you want details of Release dates etc please check the Website here International Projects SAAB JAS-39C Gripen Jobs: Texture Artist We're looking for a reliable Texture artist. Ideally you should have had some experience with the ArmA engine but its not essential. We're looking for someone to create good quality textures, normal and spec maps for our projects. You should be able to provide samples of your artwork. We'd like someone who is enthusiastic, motivated and honest with a mature approach to the job. We've always been a small team but right now we have too many models and not enough textures so if you are interested please PM or email me for a chat. We are UK based but location isn't important to us. Just a promise to finish what you start. No bullshit artists or beta collectors need apply.

I have a C130 Hercules all lined-up (the correct way) at Chenarus's large primary airport. For some reason, at the end of the takeoff he banks sharp and then crashes into the trees. If he (AI) didn't bank after he lifts off (just went straight) he'd be fine. How can I make this work? I've even given him various types of waypoints but he seems to ignore them (or doesn't get a chance since he crashes so fast). Thanks! :p

Has any body had the grid show in there maps, u can see where the grid was in v3 in my maps, its scared in the map, black dots in this image it goes away as i zoom in ?

We are proud to release the first Public BETA of the RKSL-Arma2.pbo Countermeasures System This is the latest version of our popular ArmA1 countermeasures system rewritten for ArmA2. This addon set applies chaff and flares countermeasure to all the stock BIS aircraft by default. Arma2.pbo is designed to allow all our current and future systems to be easily applied to vanilla ARMA2 addons and any other addon that inherits from them. In theory any mission that uses ARMA2 addons, can now take advantage of these features without having to be re-edited and repacked. KEY Features - All BIS Aircraft now have flares where appropriate - Probability of Hit is random - Angle of deflection is Random - Flares can be mapped to a keypress. - Flares create IR/laser targets that the AI react to. Installation: Extract the contents of the rar file into the root of your ArmA2 directory: eg: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Then add the @RKSL folder to your ArmA Startup shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -mod=@RKSL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UPDATE 25-09-09 We are pleased to release an update to the first Public BETA of the RKSL-Arma2.pbo V2.01 This is the latest version of our ArmA2 countermeasures system, with the following fixes applied. Fixed "Deleted content error". Fixed radarflareplayer property in description.ext didn't disable automatic flares for players. Fixed multiple audio warnings. Fixed flares launch vectors are disrupted by terrain. Added support for the Extended Event Handler if installed. New description.ext property radaraudiowarning. 0 Turns audio warnings off for players, 1 reactivates them.

For some reason I couldnt the A.I. pilot of my Osprey would not stop to land in the place I told him to go! He would fly over my move beacon, then states ready, and just continue flying straight into literally infinity. No matter where else I would tell him to go he would just acknowledge my order but just keep on flying straight. Are these things meant to be used for onced only for paradroping somewhere and not actually meant to land and pick you up later?

We are extremely proud (and relieved) to release the first Public BETA of the RKSL Cargo System: Originally the cargo system was intended for RKSL heavy transport vehicles only. However the idea soon expanded into a generic system, for any Arma addon configured to support it’s functionality. It is most likely that the first stage of release, will support all the default Arma vehicles and objects, considered suitable for the system. Compatible RKSL vehicles and objects will be introduced in the future. While initially this will only provide a limited number of transporters and cargo types, it will serve to introduce the concept to the wider community. <ul>[*]Project Page: Cargo System Project [*]Documentation: Cargo System Documentation [*]Video Link: Cargo System Video Preview Related Documentation: <ul>[*]String table System Settings [*]System Core Documentation <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:#FF0000'>DOWNLOAD - RKSL Cargo System 1.0A</span></span> NOTE: THIS ADDON REQUIRES RKSL-SYSTEM.PBO - Make sure you download it!

I must publically say a huge “thank you†to my girlfriend Lindsey.  She’s been incredibly supportive of my modding addiction and without her none of these addons would have been possible. Shes allowed me to spend atleast half of Christmas day locked away in my office without complaint. She’s most possibly the most wonderful girlfriend in the world! <span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>We are proud to release the first Public BETA of the British Lynx AH Pack:</span> British Army Support Lynx Support Helicopers.

Guys, A quickie for you all. I've making up the desktop shortcut for my dedicated server having successfully upgraded it to 1.15 beta. Now, the old 114 shortcut called some addons, namely vegetation fix, the smoke viewblock thingy and the tank flip one, all server side addons. So, the question is, addons that are to be used with the 115 server, do they have to be in the addon folder *in the beta addons directory* or can they remain in their own @folders in the game root directory and be called from the shortcut in the old way? Will that still work?
