xxxvader 0 Posted December 3, 2001 OFP could be the trial version for the VBS, because it lacts certain appeal of a full product for the US army. OFP being set in 1985 is too old for the army but it displays perfectly what can be done. By excluding what the army's needs, Modern vehicles, weapons, maybe a few more islands, and who knows what else, they get the army to buy a very expensive licence for the full package. Or maybe they just threw out a bunch of features and downgraded the technology to compose a a much cheaper product OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted December 4, 2001 In the beginning... there was no VBS, the gaming community was without form and void... then Marek said, "Let there be Flashpoint", and it was so, and the gods saw Flashpoint, that it was good. Flashpoint existed first... naturally such an engine as OFP's would translate easily into a military training sim. VBS did not pre-exist Flashpoint (later OFP). The oldest pics of Flashpoint (not VBS) show a VERY basic-looking attempt at a 3D sim. No such old pics of VBS exist, unless you realize that VBS is derived from Flashpoint. --Uzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxvader 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Remember those pics of the LST with its hatch down and the soldiers in desert cammo that we seen before OFP, where do you think they are, maybe it was from a early version of VBS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
