Dslyecxi released an updated version of the ShackTac Fireteam HUD on the BI forums.

Quote Dslyecxi :
Once upon a time, we had an idea to make something that would alleviate some of the issues in ArmA with regards to situational awareness. Our ShackTac Fireteam HUD is the solution we came up with, and while it is not completely finalized feature-wise, we think it's more than ready to be used by those who share similar views regarding gameplay's relationship with realism.

The ShackTac Fireteam HUD was designed to do the following:
• Provide situational awareness on where your fireteam members are and what their orientation is. This is intended to represent both peripheral vision, as well as the extended awareness one has in reality. You only see your fireteam members relative to you - no terrain, no other players/units.
• Give you an always-visible way of seeing who your team members are


Changelog:

• Added configs for: Moschnyi, Cicada, Hazar-Kot Valley.
  
• Markers for units inside vehicles use the vehicle's direction.
  
• Potential fix for missions that use assignTeam in unit inits.
  
• HUD compass requires having ItemCompass in your inventory.
  
• Marker distance ignores height differences.
  
• Partial A2 compatibility (no support for team colours).
  
• Fixed a bug where restarting the HUD would recreate an internal local object.

strac_sapper released the US Army Woodland Vehicles on our forums.
This adds woodland camouflage vehicles to US roster.

Quote DiFool :
When first encountering this site I searched for US Army woodland camouflage vehicles. This creates that addon. It uses BIS USMC units and Stillman's Stryker addon, with US Army soldier/crew added and put in the US roster. I included BigMorgan and ThePieSky's M2 Bradley addon as it fills the roster out nicely. Thanks to both Stillman and BigMorgan for allowing the use of their great addons. It is nice to have them in one convenient location! Above image uses Nixo91 Multicam Reskin #1.

If you must get your US Army war on in the woods or jungle, this addon is for you.

DiFool released an updated version of the Stagler's Spetsnaz GRU Replacement Pack on the BI forums.
In this new version he corrected some config errors.

Quote DiFool :
This is just a pack of config files packed into .pbo files. All the real work and the credits for it belong to the original addon makers.

The units used are the great "Stagler's Spetsnaz GRU".
They are equiped with either Vilas Russian Weapons Pack or Suddens AK74M Pack.

The replacement files contain:


• Stagler's GRU SpetsNaz equipped with Suddens Ak74Ms.
  
• Stagler's GRU SpetsNaz equipped with Vilas' Russian weapons.
These files above do not replace anything and can be used together if you have both weapon packs installed.

Further the replacement contains:
• BIS MVD SpetsNaz replaced by Stagler's GRU GORKA-D SpetsNaz equipped with Suddens Ak74Ms.
  
• BIS MVD SpetsNaz replaced by Stagler's GRU GORKA-D SpetsNaz equipped with Vilas' Russian weapons.
  
• BIS Russian army SpetsNaz replaced by Stagler's GRU GORKA-D-WL-camo SpetsNaz equipped with Suddens Ak74Ms.
  
• BIS Russian army SpetsNaz replaced by Stagler's GRU GORKA-DWL-camo SpetsNaz equipped with Vilas' Russian weapons.
Out of that 4 replacement files you can only use two at once (only one file for either the MVD or the army SpetsNaz).

Jeza informed us Bracer released an updated beta of his popular Emita City island for Arma 2: Combined Operations on the BI forums.

Quote Bracer :
I'm now releasing Emita v1.12!
It should fix the texture errors. I also removed some buildings that were not supposed to stand where they stood.

It's a full release to avoid some confusion that might occur with a hotfix for these errors. Sorry for the inconvenience!

For the next release I'm planning to improve the custom buildings, to make them work better and look better.
But it should be quite fun for PvP as they stands now!

Old missions should work, but you'll have to remove "testmap6" in the mission filename and replace with "emita"


Changelog:

• Fixed missing textures in custom buildings
  
• Removed some stray buildings

trouble submitted an updated version of his Centurion MBT addon.
This time he released the BOAR Centurion MBT in 4 different versions. This vehicle is still in service since the 1980's with the REME as ARV, Engineers as AVRE & Royal Artillery as OP vehicle.

Changelog:

• small config updates for errors
