We'll be running a new session on Saturdays that will use the newly release Unsung Vietnam war mod for arma3! Its off into the jungles of nam on a brand new map with brand new unit mods (not reskins of arma3 stuff!!!) for the US Army+Marine Corps and also the NVA!
You can download this great little mod from several ftp locations or via torrent, all info and links can be found on the mods wesbite below
It's actually a nice little themed mod given my little playtesting of it. The map is pretty decent too.

I'm working on a mission now that utilizes the default littlebird. I'll swap in the Hueys if we get them later. Hopefully the littlebird is good enough for now. :P
Hadn't played arma really since the Alpha (that big island is still a mystery to me), but so far really enjoyed the sessions with the Unsung mod. Would recommend people give it a throw.
We were talking about Air Cav Vietnam Sunday night on TS.
My only concern was that I don't want people to not show if we start adding big mods to download. But if everyone is cool with it and will still play, I'd love to see us add the package.
Having Hueys and more period gear would be excellent.
While I'm showing up for the Sunday/Monday sessions, these Vietnam sessions are my favorite right now. It's all just so fresh and different.
Meatshield and I have both looked at the AirCav stuff a couple of weeks back. We're not going to be going with that at the moment. Quite a few errors occur when you try to load the map and mod. It could lead to server instability, etc. The map is quite large and there are a few cool area, but some areas aren't really the best. I like the units in the air cav mod, but I think some of those units give errors as well. Meatshield might be able to speak on that more. If the vehicle errors, etc. get sorted out, I think it would be a good mod to use.
There are a couple of maps from ARMA 2 that we're considering. The maps themselves are not that large, but they require CUP-Terrain mod to be installed, which is large. Meatshield is playing with the files to minimize the download impact. We will then see if it's worthwhile to install.
***ATTENTION TO ORDERS***
In the meantime...we will be using the Huey addon from this Saturday (1/23) forward. For those intending to play Vietnam on SimHQ, you will need.
