Islands
Intro, Vietnam 12km, Vietnam 25km, SEB Ia Drang, 7 Mountains (25km), A Shau Valley, Australian AO (25km), VTE Ia Drang, Parrots Beak (25km), Ilo Ilo, Rumble In The Jungle, RSSZ, Long Son, MDSZ, Meekong, Iron Triangle. We have tons of brand new objects including vegetation and buildings objects. Various new ground textures are also included.
Then we have 28 music tracks with the NAM sixties mood. Also some animals like Mule, Cow, Rooster, Chicken, Duck, Dog. Radio callsigns are included, VC speech and mist. Thats pretty much sums it up. Oh yeah did I mention the missions, 114 single player, 2 MP (heh) and 7 campaigns. So yeah, this is not a addon you try in the mission editor for 5 minutes, you do have actually missions to play with.
Download is rar of course and not any lame exe installer. The download does not include any "original" addons, meaning we dont just pack stuff there which you can download elsewhere. There are existing stuff inside, but they are all edited one way or the other. The size is large, but its all necessary, you wont be leeching stuff you already have.
