Fapovo Island 1.2 & Bushlurker's unreleased work(song)!
The biggest gift of 2019 for me was finding an unreleased song on one of my backup drives by our late great friend Paul Pelosi aka Bushlurker.He helped numerous arma players on a daily basis until a cruel destiny took him away in 2017. I've managed to spend a day editing the track and able to finish it for you to hear it for the first time. I present you the release of Fapovo Island 1.2 co-created by several of my guys from the great armaverse community and SBP Team (Slovenian Black Panthers) - guys that share the same passion for weapons, tactics and milsim since 2001. It's been long almost 19 years. I won't be able to give you more community content in next months as I'm fully commited to a special unannounced project I've been working on for the past year or more. Meanwhile enjoy Fapovo that has been created with help of guys and mostly with love for armaverse and you guys - best gaming community in the world by far.

New release: Fapovo Island!
So, remember small isle of Fapovo from end of Arma 2 era? Never mind if you don't, it was a simple couple day project. But some of you guys loved it and did a roleplay of the original Red Dawn movie on it. I've invested couple of hours into it and present to you an Arma 3 expanded version ;) enjoy! New Arma 3 Community Manager Nillers joined us yesterday in SBP Team MP COOP operation where we tested the island for the first time. It is also available as 1.0beta public release on Steam. Give it a go and let me know how you like it. Thanks!

Long time no c ;)
As you've probably noticed - I've been away from the modmaking. Reason is that we are working on a very very special project that I cannot talk about... yet ;) Otherwise, a surprise remake of one of my "classics" is coming in next days. But its totally remake with 60% of new terrain added. Stay tuned and keep rocking Arma ;)Angola Maps v1.3
I present to you a new map: Chongo. It features a 12,3x12.3km area from real Angola, but of course I had to edit it to make it more appealing for all gameplay reasons. You can find it in Angola Maps 1.3 release of Steam Workshop (by simply clicking on the image below). Map features highly detailed terrain graphics (30720x30720px!) so at moments it will look close to the real thing ;) Map features two towns and several settlements and also two airports (SE and NW).

Duala updated & other news
Hey hey long time no see. Patreon didn't really kick off, but hopefully that will change with the new free content coming soon to all Arma 3 fans. There's finally a good progress on the maps in work, Isla Balkania is under creation of settlements, rest is pretty much ready! Ademox is a new desert post-apocalyptic world and should see the light of the day, too. At least for internal testers in my team. And Tonal, ... a lot of work done, but still not happy to release it.I also managed to make a substantial graphics quality update of popular Isla Duala - it is on Steam as of latest version 3.9.5! So be sure to check it out with your team or alone ;)

Hey peepz! I've had to postpone the release of Lingor v3.9 until next Saturday due to:- one special addon to the island is still not working as it supposed to, but it is an essential part of it
- it is a part of a 2-part coop mission Underdog
- something came up and I'm busy with other stuff during this week
Thank you for understanding.

Update
40th post for my 40th year ;) I would like to announce to my loyal fans of my Armaverse work that I've launched a Patreon Website in order to speed up the process of terrain making for Arma 3. Any modest donation will be greatly appreciated and I'll be able to invest a lot more of my time into the upcoming projects such as: Isla Balkania, Rowalla Sierra Leone, Jade Groove, Tonal Reloaded, Keystone USA etc. All of these are WIP (Work In Progress) but I need to invest a lot of my time in order that you'll see and play on them soon. Thank you!
p.s. of course, older maps will recieve updates, for example Isla Abramia 1.9 by the end of this month!
After a long unfruitful break waiting on BIS to release uncoded Apex assets as us mapmakers urgently need, I've decided to go ahead and find help within the community friends and squad buddies instead. Work continues on FAP Units, Isla Balkania, Jade Groove III, Rowalla & Abramia 1.9. Later one gets a new sector and completely remade realistic vegetation. I'll release ASAP when work is done on a single project, no dates set yet...

Panthera as a tourism promotor? ;)
Changelog:George Brooks made my day. How? He sent me a pic of real-life Panthera with the following pic & text:
"Enjoying my first night in Ukanc. Love the national park in real life almost as much as in game"
It seems people love Panthera so much they eventually come to a visit to see how the real-life version looks here in NW Slovenia ;) I hope I can catch a beer with him ;)
Here comes the sand.
Changelog:So, most of my A2 stuff in now in A3, except the units that got donated to me in A2 but I don't have a clue how to convert them in A3 or even get such permissions. After all it's a new game. I will issue a small patch to Lingor in upcoming days and then I "hit the sand": Jade Groove map is coming to Arma 3 with focus on three sided warfare (similiar to Abramia), A2 players will be a bit shocked since I've changed it a lot from the original design. After that I will probably give you remake of an OFP classic: Tonal

My first Arma 3 island released: Panthera!
I present you my latest work after a very long timeWebsite moved to Amsterdam, A3 islands etc.
As you've probably noticed on this BIF topic, I've announced several islands for Arma 3. I've spent weeks figuring out new tools that Bohemia recently supplied with the game. Many things remain "same-old" but island makers need a lot of time to figure bunch of new stuff, too. So, expect to see more islands coming in 2014 and 2015! ;)I've also moved my website to Amsterdam, submenu navigator is fixed now, sorry about that.
p.s. if you hate how Arma 3 plays with all the sci-fi nonsense and you miss ACE2 from A2, I recommend you check out AGM mod, it's awesome and my team uses it in all squadnights. We got to love A3 with it.
Balkania for A3: Confirmed!
Did the first private test of Balkania v0.1 for Arma 3, works perfectly. SBP Team will get a test session date soon, but I need figure out a lot of new stuff & invest a lot of hours into the mapmaking ;)Hello Arma 3!
Hey guys. It's sure been a long time. A3 is shaping up nicely with the latest patches and we (my SBP Team) even found some great fun in squadnights with couple of installed mods in the past few weeks. I get a lot of requests to bring my work to A3 so I'm slowly returning to the scene. A lot of things are new so I need to learn couple of new tricks... I hope to see my maps (even brand new ones) in A3 this year ;)Switching to A3? Not there yet, not so soon...
Oh gosh, no easy way to say this... but here it goes: I'm rather dissapointed with the state that Arma 3 is currently in. Along with many teammates that I share my squadnights with. What state exactly am I talking about? More "beta feeling" than ever before (decade of previous titles: A1,A2,OFP). We got a 1.0xxx release (final) with missing furniture from all of the buildings, some buildings even have no damage models (or tank shells are bugged, dunno yet), no female characters (even civilians), futuristic weaponry that I would gladly change for some of the current stuff on market (I'm an avid real-steel fan), etc.
On the other hand we have some serious advances and nifty features, but I'm more of a gameplay guy than "candy"-lover. We got a huge Altis island that is really well done (kudos to author/s) but not a single transportation plane to use its airstrips (choppers and other vehicles are way too slow). Not to mention serious bugs, like placable editor objects that have unfinished models...
Therefore I've decided I will wait with conversion of my A2 islands at least until game gets patched up to more "serious" state and/or we get updated mapmaking tools. I EXPLICITELY DO NOT ALLOW any of my work being used in Arma 3 game, nor any reverse engineering (debinarizing, dePBOing, editing for private/team/public use). I do not feel that Arma 3 game captures a "right mil-sim feeling" in current state. It feels a lot more BF-ish to me (main reason is probably because of unit/side balancing that should really not happen ever in a true modern military simulation). But I know that Bohemia has a capable team and never leaves community behind. They will surely patch up the game and properly assist the modding community and make A3 a true successor to a classic game that A2 is. We just need to give them time. I'll be leaving on a short roadtrip (armed with a brand new A3-capable laptop, hehe) and have eyes on the A3 progress. Semper Fidelis, yours truly.
Farewell to Arma2: New island Fapovo v1.0!
Before the A3 release and major update to my islands (if new A3 compatible tools will eventually arrive anytime soon after the final release) I would like to present my first 5-m grid map, fictional island of Fapovo! It is a 5x5km area map with two islands and 3 runways (1 is unpaved), euro-like vegetation and made with Red Dawn (80s movie) missions in mind. See more details in the supplied readme file. Fapovo requires you to have Panthera and Lingor islands installed (activated via mod line). Enjoy ;) Click on the picture to start the download (77 MB 7-zip):
Update: Alienz Mod v1.1
Changelog:- fixed non-alien night vision (MP compatibility)
- added first/last names of aliens
- added energy rifle reload sound
- added a simple aiming sight for a rifle
CoOp Mission pack: Green Cyclone
A small 6-mission coop/sp pack (for up to 25 players) for all the guys enjoying Lingor 1.5 and Unsung Mod 2.5. You also need Lingor Units, Alienz Mod (only 6th mission) and Predator Mod (only 6th mission).It is year 1976, one year after the war in vietnam ended by the fall of Saigon. But there is another war still raging on the small isle of Bantanam near the Lingor island. It seems Vietcong forces took the island by suprise in 1976 and US conducted a silent operation: they sent a special BAD (Bravo/Alpha/Delta units) team to neutralize this threat spreading over the borders of Vietnam. But there is something much more bigger than VC threat going over there...

Back from Vacation :)
A3 alpha is out, but I won't be releasing any islands until we get at least a beta, I also don't allow any use of my user-made content for A3 that is not released by me. Good news for all A2 usersAfter two long years... Panthera 2.9!
I took some extra time to polish the details on v2.8 and fix couple of issues reported by betatesters. We have v2.9 official release now, yaay! :)
End is coming soon?!
To all the people believing that, here's a way to donate your money as you won't be needin' it anymore after that date :)Panthera 2.8 is coming soon!
After couple of years it is time to update this map. Especially now that so many of you are playing Dayz mod on it ;) Major changes are: smoothened out terrain, lower hills, less crowded (able to put down bases), new forests with more diversity (logs, rocks), brand new Lesce airbase (heavily upgraded) and Town of Arnoldstein. A new island is now present near Panthera, just NW of Arnoldstein and offers nice open woodland area for training and combat. Release date? Not set yet... but in December for sure.Isla Duala 1.97!
It's been a long time since my last update to Isla Duala map (June 2011!). Since island is still one of the most played in Armaverse, I took two weeks to fix all (well, most at least) reported bugs. I hope you'll be happy with all the changes, especially increased town of Bolabongo, Molatia. Be aware that when using Panthera or Lingor, Duala 1.97 has an updated ibr_plants.pbo file with new objects, so delete the addon from other mod folders! Download 1.97 naaoow ;)Changelog:

It will be intended for large scale two-sided & three-sided warfare missions. Second one is a secret (well, not anymore since I posted it here) little project that will satisfy all those who want a US map ;) all I can tell now is that it is based in Alabama. We will do an "Alien Invasion" mission on it when it gets released. Keep checking official BI forums ;)Taa-daa

I'll be adding new mirrors soon, so please let me know if you're hosting! Thanks guys, its been a tough ride and I hope you'll enjoy playing it as I've been making it ;)Reporting live from Dressen
Hi, I'm Nathalie Vern from SBP News and I've been assigned to provide news & latest happenings here on Lingor.I'm currently situated in town of Dressen, Southwest part of the country. I really like the scenery here, I've never heard of this southern part before I actually got here just a week ago. There is much less vegetation, a bit more open terrain with many hills. This peninsula has couple of villages and towns.
Here is a photo I took from a cessna when approaching Dressen airfield (below).
Biggest town is Dressen that lies in center. There is a bank, hotel, school, many inns and shops, factory and a very large fire station. Station is on alert for an entire peninsula and of course to react to any airport accidents. Oh yes, right beside town is is a long dirtstrip. Cessna-like planes take off and land all day long, so there's a lot of activity. I've also seen a big Hercules transporter land here yesterday, but pilot had to use the entire length to put the big bird in the sky. Intense moment, I might say
Many people ask "what are there so many runways" but many parts of Lingor are so remote that getting around with small planes is by far the quickest way. Local businessman Mike is operating a company Kiwi Rocket Ltd. and owns a a small fleet of M7 Maule airplanes. He says tourists and local businessmen are two key $$$ makers. He told me that his company even makes quick cargo drops/pickups to north Pista runway or San Arulco improvised strip, both places are just a few kilometers away! He says that people are glad to pay big bucks as roads are usually full of rebel checkpoints. I've seen at least four cars riddled with bullets when driving to Dressen from Maruko capital.
I took a cab to a Southeast coast to a beeeautiful Medlina seaside resort town just hours ago. Town lies below the largest mountain and offers so many to tourists staying here. I've met a Dutch couple yesterday that are here for the past 2 months and they said they absolutely love it. Especially local cuisine. Sure, cuisine.
Couple told me that tourists are afraid and like to keep away from the countryside. There are many powerful landlords living in this part of country and there is a word that major drug production is actually underway right in this sector. Numerous villas around here are usually fortified with high walls. Police is practically non-existent as armed village guards patrol the streets instead. So seeing a pickup truck with a large machinegun is something quite normal around here. I've also seen a lot of russian-made trucks travel around here in convoys and armed men stare at us from the back cargo spaces. I should not be guessing but the word on the street is that drug cartels are the ones running things around here. FEA government put out an arrest warrant on a wealthy local man Ramon Rabante. Ramon is believed to be in close ties with ARL rebel movement, not to mention that he is getting dirty rich by his "export" business to Panthera, Isla Duala, Balkania, Sahrani and other nearby islands.
After the last months full of conflict things cooled off a bit and ARL faction gained a huge influence in this sector and all the way up to Calapedro on North and Villon on east. ARL headquarters is still based in Calamar, but ARL is currently very active in newly built San Arulco, a cozy town that lies between Calapedro and Rosalia in Northwest Bay area. Government tried to stop the illegal constructions several times. Recent offensive by GAL last month didn't succeed as they were blocked by armed civilians. Government lost several Bell Huey helicopters and APCs in the process. ARL even managed to shoot down one government Mig-21, so GAL halted the offensive and blocked road at Checkpoint Oeste and river-pass on NW to San Fernando.
Things are heating up again and Lingor is facing a all-out war once again. Local newspaper "Maruko Nacional" reports that country president EL Presidente acquired new A-4N Skyhawk bombers, Leopard tanks, french Eurocopter assault choppers, new armored transporters and a fleet of fast patrol boats to dominate the waters around Lingor and all river systems. GAL is stronger than ever and it seems ARL could be in trouble. War analysts predict that ARL will move into heavily populated areas and defend from there. ARL might get help from drug cartels in form of finances and new weapons. Reason for that? FEA/GAL announced a drug crackdown and will probably attack druglord villas with armed choppers and block off seaways with patrol boats. It is not even excluded that GAL will assist FEA forces by providing heavy armor.

Dear IceBreakr,
I just ended my lurking days and registered, only to deliver a heartfelt 'thank you' to you. I discovered your Lingor Island a while back and spend hours in simply driving around (or in low flight), and I really love it, and I've never seen a island better suited for Warfare than Duala.
But it's Panthera that blew me away- I think no one's ever captured Central Europe that perfectly in an ArmA map. It's a beautiful piece of art. Kudos & thank you again,
K., Berlin
Big Thanks, Community!

Also thanks for your votes in the nominations, with your help I've become a "Community Member of the Year 2010" and that really means a lot, since there are so many great guys working on so many awesome Arma2 addons and mods.

WIP Report: Lingor v1.1 Beta test complete
SBP Team completed a beta test of Lingor v1.1. We found couple of small bugs and they will be fixed for the public release of v1.1.

ION was bidding for government contract, which

My Isla Duala mentioned by Marek in PC Gamer
I've been plesantly suprised when I've spotted this article. Marek 'Maruk' Spanel a.k.a. CEO of Bohemia Interactive Studio mentions my island
Small update
Due to recent RL events I'll probably have to limit the work for the A2 Community. Don't get me wrong, I won't leave it or stop the projects, but I guess Lingor Island & Massacra are one of the last A2 projects. After that its time to enjoy and see what other people will come up with, not to even mention all the rumors about future DLCs :)Lingor Island is in v0.99 beta state right now and opening ceremony for public will be hosted in form of MP event. Slovenian SBP Team and International UGAF Team will organize the event and I hope bunch of you A2 afficionados will show up :)

Currently I'm making new version of Panthera (v2.4) with biggest update on brand new textures (satellite and ground).Sahbazz and I are also preparing a new version for Molatian and Afrenian army so we can make a single pack with the Duala. Further plans are to include couple of vehicles, but we need to finish the talks with the addon owners first. Afrenian government is in talks to buy Pinzgauers for army and police.

It features oil derricks, three towns, two army bases, heliport, a presidental palace, a mayor villa, small resort, oil depot and two ports. Radical Islamic Fighters for independent Hazene burned down both churches last week and in heavy clashes with Molatian army a large group took shelter in small village of Upeesdi, while others fleed to the jungle. Molatian army surrounded Upeesdi and burned it to the ground with only couple of rebels surviving the attack.

Novelties
Isla Duala v1.1 is already in the works featuring all of the reported bugs removed, added new big island in Northwest of Molatia and completed other smaller ones around Duala. Island will also feature a new better satellite image and majority of houses were retextures to be more Africa-like.I'll probably revisit Panthera and redo the satellite image to be of much higher quality. I'll also add ILS systems and upgrade the airports. And hopefully peaks will feature a bit of snow now ;)
I've also posted planning maps for Panthera and Duala for all mission makers. You can grab them under Download section of each island. Remember... have fun! :)

added more savannah vegetation to the dull north areas, cut down couple of trees from roads

Isla Duala v1.0 coming soon
Ok, I'm getting close to the release of Isla Duala v1.0 and I'll soon have ready a new version of Panthera, too. Whats the big news? After more than 20 hours of config tweaking: Alice (Civilians & Civilian Vehicle) modules work on my custom island by simply placing module icon to the mission and I've been able to eliminate almost all of the RPT errors!Isla Duala: Progress Report

Isla Duala: Open issues and bugreporting

El Diablo, IceBreakr and Tourist board of Afrene are inviting all of you to visit a paradise on Earth
Current peace can be very decieving. Marks of previous decade-long war can be seen even today and no-man zone still divides both countries with high fence running all along the border. Only few of the natives dare to travel across. With recent diamond and oil findings in Molatia their war machine is growing, too. European and US peacekeeping forces are currently present on Afrene in small numbers, but this might change very soon. Russia and China are in close business ties with Molatia and Afrene is mainly providing services for US and European tourists. War between Molatia and Afrene might be just around the corner...
p.s. Isla Duala is a completely fictional game project and does not have any connections to real life: persons, countries, towns, Czech pornstars etc.
