'''RKSL Studios''' (RKSL) was formed in October 2003 by Rockape (aka RockofSL). Working solo until 2005 RKSL released various sets of addons both as RKSL releases and as part of several Teams.

in the last year we've been working with other teams and continuing to develop several projects whihc will be transfered to ArmA when possible.
So a remark, we recently made a wiki page for The Unsung Mod. Now we were on the list where mod teams were listed without wiki page. So suddenly someone removed us from the list since we had a wiki page made. But, we now are neither listed on the list of mod teams with a wiki page and not on the page of mod teams without a wiki page. Very funny... So if someone could add 'The Unsung' to the listing with MOD teams that have a wiki page it would be super, as i tried but can't seem to edit that page to add us. Very handy when peeps remove you from one list, but do not seem to add you to the other. Thanks! I am sure more mod teams have that.

==Final OFP Projects==
----
In 2005 RKSL announced a series of new projects aimed at increaing the level of realism and accuracy.  THese were signicantly more ambitious than previous projects all made possible UNN joining the Team. Two projects very quickly took precidence in our development schedule.


*VTOL System - Harrier GR.7
[[User:Planck|Planck]] 16:21, 31 July 2006 (CEST)
*Fire Control System - Rapier FSC and Rapier FSB


You can find out more on the RKSL website.  We hope to release the Betas of these very soon.

==Armed Assault and Beyond==
you might wanna think about changing the naming system a bit - currently its either the shortname or the full name.
With the advent of ArmA's new graphics and scripting engine we have decied to simulate the British Expeditionary Forces systems either currently in service or due in service by 2012-17.
i think the site should feature both, like WarGames League (WGL) - thanks !

In the last 12 months British, US and NATO forces have changed dramatically, re-aligning themselves to fight modern wars, counter ‘terrorism’ and insurgency.  This has meant the removal of several aircraft types, ships and numerous vehicles from service and the deployment of integrated battlefield control systems, dramatically changing how wars are fought.  So far the community hasn’t produced many of this type of addons, things designed to be used as part of an integrated force.
----


'''PHASE 1 - The addons'''
This "article" (actually just a category listing) seems to suffer from same problem as [[:Category:Operation_Flashpoint:_Multiplayer_Squads]]. Making article of your mod/squad just reduces the visibility of your mod/squad, as the real article list is at bottom of page. That should not be the case, it does not encourage people to create new wiki articles. --[[User:Smartti|Smartti]] 13:35, 22 August 2006 (CEST)
For ease of devleopment we've chosed to develop and release addons in two phases. For Phase 1 these include:


'''''Naval Fleet:'''''
----
* CVF Carrier
* Ocean Class LPH
* Albion Class LPD
* Astute Class (SSN) Sub (Cruise Missile platform etc) – For Sea Launched Cruise missiles
* Vanguard (SSBN) Class Sub – As above
* Type 45 for Fleet air defence
* Support ships etc
Each with associated radars, SAM, CIWS, Decoys etc all Fire Control Linked as per Rapier FSC etc


'''''Fleet Borne Tasked Air Group:'''''
I dont see why mod teams cant both be listed in the mod list with their national flag, as well as in the wiki page list. Why should teams who take the effort to create a wiki page, be removed from one extensive list, that many may only browse, and not bother with the wiki pages, when one line of information hardly takes away from the point of the list.
* JCA/F35B
* Harrier GR9
* Merlin HM1
* Merlin HM(A)1
* Merlin HC3/5
* Chinook HC2 & 3
* Lynx HMA8
* WAH-1 Longbow


'''''Land Based Air power'''''
[[User:Messiah|Messiah]] 18:35, 22 August 2006 (CEST)
* Tornado GR4
* Tornado F3
* Typhoon T1
* Typhoon F2
* Nimrod MR4
* E-3D Sentry
* C-130C3/C5
* A400M
* C-17 Globemaster III


'''''Battlefield Support:'''''
:What about adding all mods with their own Wiki page to the list and making them bold? '''--[[User:Str|Str]] 19:08, 22 August 2006 (CEST)'''
* Sentinel R1 (ASTOR)
* Predator A UAV
* BAE Corax (UCAV)
* Rapier FSC (RKSL v2)
* Type 101 Commander Land based Radar
* Type 93 Martello Land based Radar


::In that case all the mod pages would have to be changed, otherwise they would still show up as duplicates in the sub-category list.
::How about we create an article that will be listed ''below'' this main mod page which would contain the list of all the external mod links. That way the mods that have pages on the Wiki will be listed much more prominently, there wouldn't be a duplicate entries, and there wouldn't be too much work involved in creating or updating that list. (The same solution could perhaps be used for the [[:Category:Operation_Flashpoint:_Multiplayer_Squads|MP Squad page]]). --[[User:Kronzky|Kronzky]] 21:11, 22 August 2006 (CEST)


 
:::Ok, I think it's time to do it, because many users still creates duplicates. I prefer move of all extrenal links to their own Subcategory which will be listed separately from Mod pages (subcategories are above articles). I have no idea how to put them under Article list. --[[User:Str|Str]] 12:15, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
'''PHASE 2 – Integrating Systems'''
This phase will take the form of a update patch.  Replacing the config and scripts with a new configs etc allowing the adodns to interact wiht each other. Providing information to the units on the ground and in the air.  The plan is to create an offshore ‘base’ defended by all the associated technology that is present on today’s (and tomorrow’s) battlefields.  These will provide the basis of the modern integrated information systems to accurately simulate the modern battlefield as seen from the perspective of a UK armed forces member.
 
We are looking in to ways to simulate the sort of communication a pilot/soldier/gunner would expect to get. This means systems and scenarios such as:
 
* AWACS – Warning of incoming aircraft and dynamic requests for CAS, Medivac and extraction.
* ASTOR – Airborne Stand Off Radar – Real time battlefield Intel provided to the appropriately equipped personnel and vehicles.
* JTIDS – Joint Tactical Information Distribution (Designation) System – Target Sharing and situational displays.
* Fire Control on air defence systems – AI ability to engage multiple targets at once and assign assets to threats.
* UAV/UCAV tasking – requesting UAV intel/cover and being able to direct it via radio.
 
Adding support information for Air-to-Air missions, Swing role functions accurate mission profiles that change dynamically.

What about adding all mods with their own Wiki page to the list and making them bold? --Str 19:08, 22 August 2006 (CEST)
In that case all the mod pages would have to be changed, otherwise they would still show up as duplicates in the sub-category list.
How about we create an article that will be listed below this main mod page which would contain the list of all the external mod links. That way the mods that have pages on the Wiki will be listed much more prominently, there wouldn't be a duplicate entries, and there wouldn't be too much work involved in creating or updating that list. (The same solution could perhaps be used for the MP Squad page). --Kronzky 21:11, 22 August 2006 (CEST)
