Fly Like an Eagle [Conversion From ArmA1]

Mission offers various facets of combat, from aerial tasks to ground objectives, from combined operational assaults to Rambo style Fury. Original mission was rated 9/10 in OFPEC http://www.ofpec.com/missions_depot/index.php?action=details&id=201

Overview:

South Sahrani and her King is an ally of the U.S. and as such is entitled to preservation of it's Government and infrastructure. The powerful Northern Government seeks to overthrow the Southern Kingdom and establish a full, island wide government. They currently have ties to Russia in the form of military contracts which proved to be devastating to our limited military presence that remained on the island. As the struggle intensified so did the U.S involvement. We diverted many idle assets to the region to restore peace at the gateway city of Corazol and provide a visible interest in the stability of the Southern kingdom but the North just couldn't take the hint that we were fully committed to this cause. They responded to our presence by attacking our supply ships in the waters of Southern Sahrani. As in previous wars, that was the final straw which forced our hand. Last week, the President declared war on the Northern Democratic Republic of Sahrani and since then our military presence continues to strengthen and expand.

[gunzz 10]

i DL'ed but cant figure out how to get it to show up in the missions. I put it in my missions folder and that didnt work so i threw it in the basic arma 2 folder and that didnt work. please help

[armafreak 10]

Sorry to have to ask an obvious question gunzz, and please dont take offence, but did you unzip it? I played this mission without probs at all.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Oh and by the way, nice mission SaOk.

[gunzz 10]

It didnt give me an option to unzip it. it dl'd as a 7z or some shit not any sort of unzippable file and ive re-dl'ed 4 times

[ProfTournesol 956]

It didnt give me an option to unzip it. it dl'd as a 7z or some shit not any sort of unzippable file and ive re-dl'ed 4 times

My god :o: get 7zip tool ou winrar to extract those files...

[gunzz 10]

well sry never saw a 7z before

[trickster1982 10]

Nice mission!i started to get some lagging framerates when the russian jets started flying over but other than that it seems fine,i havent beaten it yet,the damn tank keeps getting me!:eek:

[yatyas 10]

Still have not been able to get it to show up

[kremator 1065]

Google is your friend .... USE IT !

[BEEJ24 10]

Google is your friend .... USE IT !

7z is freeware as well, thats why a lot of people are starting to use it... havent got around to playing this yet but hopefully will later :D

[trickster1982 10]

Those having problems - Winzip will extract the 7z file for you :)

[SaOk 112]

New version 1.0 of "Russian Invasion" is here. New reinforcements give little more chance to win, but mission still stays very challenging. See first post for more details.

[Drasta 10]

Great mission! It's a shame I just can win it :(

[Drasta 10]

I made it! Last night at 4:15 am! But I found only 2 transport vehicles :/ But I must say so far best SP mission :)

BTW. Sry for my bad English...

[cartier90 0]

what kind of framerate is one supposed to get . Im getting mid 20s....

[synch_c 10]

This is one tough mission! The only real gripe I've got is that too much depends on the AA. Whether they perform dictates whether you stand any chance at all from what I've seen and their performance is flakey at best. I'd suggest reducing the amount of AA and jets. It's still a really tough job even on the rare occasion the jets go down very quickly. And yes, before someone mentions it, I have found the Strela in the crates but if you're doing that you aren't doing something else ...

Anyway, suberb design. Very challenging, alot of different tactics and avenues to explore and a thoroughly professional finish. Looking forward to your next one.

[Eagle911 10]

I can't do anything as if i pop my head up i get shot 3 times

And only one save?

[SaOk 112]

You can have unlimited saves with second lowest difficult setting. I also play with that but AI skills set higher and many aids off. This mission is meant to be very challenging. I am planning to build a campaign around it and this "russian invasion" would have different missions for losing and winning.

[InFireBaptize 0]

downloaded. thanks, will give constructive feedback once played.

[SaOk 112]

New singleplayer mission - Counterattack to Polana is available. See first post.

[subtee 0]

New singleplayer mission - Counterattack to Polana is available. See first post.

Nice mission, everything worked fine.

tho i have not managed to complete the "russian invasion" mission yet, it's hard.

Hey, was that "Fly like an Eagle"-mission in Arma 1 yours? That was great, is there gonna be any follow up to that? Loved the voice acting in it, especially the spec ops dudes in the forest! :) LoLz

[SaOk 112]

Thanks :), yep I made that "Fly like an Eagle"-mission with SavedByGrace. We will start to create the sequel when he gets ArmA2 soon. I have also been converting "Fly like an Eagle" to CAA1-mod for ArmA2 but it still needs some tweaking and I probably need to wait until they make CAA1 public.

[subtee 0]

ok, great news !

[stun 5]

Saok what sort of hardware did you use to develop Counterattack to Polana? There appears to be more going on than my system can handle. I'm getting 20-25 fps for this mission, it's very choppy. The mission seems to be more demanding than any of the stock BIS missions or the campaign. I have a c2D E6400 @ 2.68 Ghz, 2Gig ram, 8800GT, XP sp3 and most settings on very low to normal.
