Clahtrien 0 Posted March 5, 2002 I'm stuck in this stupid mission. I've the fuel truck. I've refuel the stupid chopper but when I try to fly, the stupid piece of metal just turn upside down (First time). When I finally got the stupid thing to fly to the repair truck, it turn upside down again (Right after they set the new re-try location), that means if I click re-try, it'll start at my chopper turning upside down. That's the fourth time and the seventh time I re-played the mission, the chopper didn't turn upside down after refueling, but it won't lift...just keep moving backwards at -100 over speed. Sad, anyone can help me get over this stupid mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted March 6, 2002 That sounds like FADE to me m8, I have just completed the mission (still on ver. 1.30 ) and I had NO problems like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted March 6, 2002 Doesn't sound like fade to me, I completed Red Hammer without such problems but it still doesn't sound like fade. Try reverting from the previous mission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clahtrien 0 Posted March 6, 2002 I manage to pass that part, now I'm stuck again. I have to destory the tanks before the mission is complete, right? What do you do when you run out of ammo? My gunner fired over 40 times before one tank is down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Random 0 Posted March 6, 2002 Clahtrien, never use your gunner for rocket strafes. He is far too inaccurate. Just switch to manual fire and only shoot when the crosshair is right over the target. I used less than half of my rockets on this mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcharm 0 Posted March 6, 2002 I had exactly the same problem with the chopper at the repair truck. After several retries it didn't get destroyed (presumably by random chance) and just saved it there. To echo what someone else said, get rid of your 'gunner' he's utterly useless, do the tank busting yourself. I went through about 3/4 of my rockets during that mission (and took out the Blackhawk at the end too ). I've also found that AI drivers when I'm the gunner is completely pointless. After asking the driver 20 times to turn to the right, I kicked him out and made him run after the T72 while I destroyed enemy tanks Cheers, Dr. Charm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TS_Sivad 0 Posted March 13, 2002 I'm on this mission now and can't get anywhere with it. I have had the same problem with the chopper starting out upside down after I get to the repair point. When I finally get the chopper to fly I can't hit anything with the rockets. Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hbk 0 Posted March 13, 2002 Same pb here, Mi17 crashes after repair point ... This suxx, anyone have a solution better than retry 'till it "bugs" and you don't crash ? BTW if you watch out, you'll see you are 100meters away from your supposed landing point. Hope i'll dont have to use the ENDMISSION trick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldGrandad 0 Posted March 13, 2002 Ditto, I have just got to this mission and thought I was doing well It's just great trying to fly a chopper plummeting to the ground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TS_Sivad 0 Posted March 14, 2002 What is the end mission trick? I finally got the chopper to fly then destroyed the armored column , picked up the soldiers at Arudy. Then it tells me to destroy another armored column , I get killed and it starts me at the BEGINNING of the mission to do all over again. It erased my save point!!! I'm about done with this game until they fix the bugs. Its too frustrating to worry with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hbk 0 Posted March 15, 2002 Well, let's help some buddies. Go to : http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/index.htm Search for : ENDMISSION You'll find what you want, but be warned that it's a cheat code. Anyway it can prove useful in cases like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSO_brent 0 Posted March 17, 2002 I had the same prob with the chopper after the truck too - i ended up upside down on the ground - unable to do anything... i saved just before the cutscene, and replayed it until I finally got out without pancaking took a few tries tho CSO_brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Random 0 Posted March 17, 2002 I had the same problem with the repair point the other day when I was playing this mission. I don't know if this will make any difference, but while the cutscene was playing, I held down 'Q' to lift the chopper and kept pulling my mouse back (to lift the nose). When the cutscene ended I was still a bit wobbly, but I managed to get control of it. So try keeping the chopper in the air even when the cutscene is playing, in case any controls register.

CSO_brent 0 Posted March 17, 2002 i found if I was able to get the autohover to kick in (about 20% of the time) i was able to keep going. never thought of the controlling while in the cutscene tho - good idea. CSO_brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
