Addons are content additions to Arma. These Addons can take on many forms such weapons, buildings, vehicles to name a few, are developed and released by members of the Arma community or by Bohemia Interactive themselves.

Installing Addons

Addons
must be installed to "...directory\Arma\Addons" or into a custom modfolder.
Read the included ReadMe file for further information about the installation.
Custom Animations
must be installed to "...directory\Arma\dta\" (overwrite existing Anim.pbo) or into a custom modfolder ("...directory\Arma\modfolder\dta\").
The original Anim.pbo can be restored from the Arma CD.
Custom Campaigns
must be installed to "...directory\Arma\Campaigns\" or into a custom modfolder ("...directory\Arma\modfolder\Campaigns\").
This only works with campaigns. Single missions have to be installed to "...directory\Arma\Missions\".
Mods
mostly come with an installer and create their own modfolder.
Read the included ReadMe file for further information about the installation.
Custom Skies
mostly come with an installer and create their own modfolder.
Read the included ReadMe file for further information about the installation.

Finding Specific Addons
