It's up to you if you want to use these plugins or not.
Source Files:
I have also uploaded the .png source files that I used to create this profile. You can download them here.
These are the Source .png files from Fireworks 4.0 that I used to create my profile.
Fireworks lets you create 'button' objects which can contain multiple images and have a specific name. when exported, each image in the button gets a filename with the button's name, and a number after it (except the first image, which has no number appended to it). I used this 'button' object method on almost all buttons in the profile, with the exception of just a few on the Game tab .png file. Just a very few buttons here use just hotspots to cut the image, which is not as good as the button object, but I was just a little lazy and didn't get around to converting them.
The files have several layers. A Background layer, and a button layer, and maybe some other layers that only contain some extra images I may have wanted to use. I just hide these 'resource image' layers when I am working on the profile and exporting the images.
I hope you find these files helpful, as I am no expert on graphics but can hack around enough to be dangerous.
Tutorial Video:
I have also uploaded a small video showing how I created these button objects and layers in Fireworks. Other graphics programs should have similar options available. You can download the video here.
This is an updated version of my original profile. I've added the active TEWS, Payload and MCP modules as well as a Map Tab based on Oscar's original HTML files. I've also "stolen" some artwork and ideas from WBK. Zorlac was instrumental for other than the obvious, as he implemented new functions into TB that I specifically requested. While this profile has a bunch of original stuff in it, I wouldn't be nearly as complete nor functional if it weren't for the aforementioned people.
I know everyone wants to try out my supremely excellent Starshatter profile. I'm looking for feedback, this is the first usable version and there are probably some important functions missing. At least I can find out if there are any other TB users playing Starshatter.
First release candidate of a SBPPE profile, comments are welcome.

Profile for BIS Armed Assault – Updated 17th July 2007. Includes a Readme as to what keychanges need to take place within the game for this profile to work. If you don't already own Wild Bills' Toolkit, please download and install. It makes life a lot easier to amend/adjust this profile using this great app.
Profile can be downloaded from the "Downloads" page, click on the yellow Armed Assault at top left (there are only 2 pages to my webspace, so you can't get lost)!
Profiles like this are very subjective. What works for me, maybe won't work for you. So using WBK's toolkit, you can adjust, add, subtract orders from my profile until you are happy with it. Some people will prefer navigating the ingame menu to issue commands, finding TB a bit cumbersome (especially if this is all new to you). However, TB gives you added flexibility, and another way of issuing orders.
Having said that, I have been playing the game since release in Nov 06. The most commonly used commands are at your fingertips with this profile.
Squad Screen and Armoured Screen. With buttons to go directly to the “Orders” screens. From there, one button press to go back to the screen you were on previously.
Comes complete with a 14Mb satellite imaged fully zoomable pdf map of the Island of Sahrani . Down to street level. This is the reason the download is on the large size. Its a very detailed map. Currently the profile points to a more simpler map. But have included all available maps anyway, in case you wish to change the default one.
Added 17th July 2007: Mapping Screen. When on ArmA Map Screen. Double Click to place your Map Marker. Then use TB to change the Map Marker Icon, and Map Marker Colour. Access the Mapping Screen from any other screen. From the mapping screen return back to Squad, Armour or Air.
Comms panel has my own TS buttons for Tactical Gamers TS Server. However, these are easily removed using WBK’s toolkit. My own TS.cfg file is not included !
See screenshots below for an idea of what the various screens are like (you can easily change them in WBK’s Tookit). These pictures were taken about Feb 07, and some of them have changed considerably. Use them as a guide, and you won't go far wrong.
The download is 17.1Mb, and to big for the site to host.
I was originally hosting the file myself, but had so many hits, my monthly bandwidth was sucked dry within 24 hours! Hence the reason the original link appeared dead. I can't apologise enough for that.
File should now be available 24/7, 365 ! Please report any broken links - Thanks.
Want a ready-made Su-25T profile emulating the style of the Frog cockpit, buttons and gauges?
Tested with TB version '' and used regularly (by me ) on the vvs504 Air-to-Ground server.
Enjoy!
P.S. I've also made an 'Airfields' plugin for this profile, based on OSCAR (and REDs) work, but in the Su25T style. Built because I wanted something 'easier' on my eye, and easy access to the airfield numbers).
This is a modded profile based on SytRep’s excellent Falcon profile. This profile should be considered a very rough draft, principally intended to be used by those more talented than I in further refinements of TB profiles for F4AF.
I have tried to arrange buttons according to cockpit layout, and have used screen grabs (therefore the poor quality) in creating such buttons. I believe that the textures (created by Eric "Aeyes" de Best) used in the screen grabs were previously released to the public, so hopefully there are no IP issues.
I am using Jagstang’s Cougar profile and the associated Key file, so beware that key combinations generated by this profile may not work in F4AF install.
Many thanks to SytRep for all his hard work and excellent F4 buttons and profile. Thanks as well to Vegas and Hipshot for their F4 profiles. Finally, thanks to everyone at TB including Zorlac, RuggButt and Wild Bill for this incredible invention which adds tremendously to the immersion factor.

Looks great and works flawlessly - great attention to detail! :D
My 25T will never be the same again without this profile and TB!
07-25-2006 03:48 PM eric37a Like the A10 profile, this profile is amazing. Switches that move when pressed, stellar skinning work. When it comes to lock on, this is what I use for all the Russian
01-22-2007 07:55 PM Primaryman Great stuff. It is just too cool ramp starting using this. Although it took a while to find all the right switches since it doesn't follow the actual F16 pit layout they are

I suggest the user turn on the Button Borders at first to easily find the buttons. You can turn the on from the *TB* Tab. This
