How can I cover large distances in Arma2 witht he help of SUV?

[echo9 10]

Hi guys!

First of all I would like to thank Bohemia for such a wonderful game!

I tried the demo of OA & then I just bought the full game Arma 2-reinforcements :)

I am facing a problem. In the very first missions of the BAF campaign in arma2- reinforcements (BAF) after clearing up the IED in the market we have to report at an FOB.

Believe it or not but until now I made the character (n the his team) in game to walk miles for clearing the mines etc.

But now as the FOB in which I have to report in is approx 4.5 miles far off the grid. I would like to know that how can I drive the parked SUV/offroad vehicle(s) near the field hospital (also near the market) where the IED was just cleared.

The vehicle seems some what disabled or locked. :( But I was able to get my "gear" icon available whenever i go near the vehicle.

Also neither any of my team mates are able to go inside/sit in the vehicle (except for a vehicle (somewhat like a taxi) with a civilian driver in it.)

But he doesn't move a bit..!?

Please help :confused:

or press the + next to the backspace button to change the speed which time passes till you find an unlocked car ;)

It's not really a fix, but the Lost Key addon allows you to spawn any vehicle during the campaign, which would sort your problem.

It also lets you get weapons, teleport, use artillery, spawn units and many other things :D.

ODEN;1941532']try using the Jackal from the very beginning.

actually its not possible.. (using any vehicle from beggining)

as there is a cut scene :(

the campaign begins by: our heli is hit by a missile/rpg >> we are extracted by another support heli and put back on base >> I meet my new doc and engineer >> next mission assigned after cut scene >> next mission is to clear mines on road for the warrriors.. >> signal them off .. (bye-bye..) n they are gone >> next is to clear the IED in the market >> IED cleared (reached here on foot :( ) >> report at FOB (4.5miles off grid (ouch.. my feet)) :confused:

there is no possibility of gettin a vehicle ..?

am i missing something... ?

It's a great addon, after a while though it becomes addictive and you can't complete a mission without calling in a large fuel air bomb or spawning an M1A1 :D

Especially das big guns... epic

Yes, you are not supposed to walk to the place where you need to clear the mines. There are two vehicles in the beginning of the mission that you should use. They're right next to where you start, how did you miss them?

What's the point in playing a game if you will be cheating and ruining it for yourself?

I have been playing games (war/action/realistic history based etc.) since more than 8+ years :)

I was just wondering the possibilities that "that particular tool/mod" could give us.. :j:

Anyways.. thx for making it a point fella :)

Got it guys :)

Thx for supporting me.. Thx Johan S..!

I might have missed the jackals due to late graphics rendering or something.

Also it might be due to since I forgot to look back :D

I'm not sure if you will be able to use "lost key" because you have reinforcements. I am pretty sure that you need at least Operation Arrowhead, and possibly the original Arma 2 as well. But you can give it a shot. I highly advise you buy Combined Operations as well, which is a package of Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. Most missions and multiplayer requires it.
