Finnish defence forces mod 1.0 released!
eonel replied to feersum.endjinn's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Have spent the weekend playing with the finnish mod. It is absolutely flawless & great. Hope we soon receive a campaign, its a shame to have so many great new units & no pre-built missions to play with them all. Its funny that Finnish squads are called Sissi. A name which has other connotation in English ( sissy ) Thanks once again. -
I have a new machine, Radeon 9700, P4 2.4, 1 GB of RAM & good mobo ( but only 4 * AGP ) I can run higher terrain details but is still not smooth. I run " 1200+ view distance & get 10-15 fps. IMO you get the best effects running on medium terrain details & put the extra computing power into a long view distance.

When playing online I seem to get better graphic performance than offline & view distance seems further. Â My question is - is there a standard setting for online play ? Â The screenshots I have seen show many more landscape bumps on high settings. Â In theory there must be a standard online, or player on high settings would be hiding behind a landscape bump that did not exist to player on low settings. Â Same applies to vehicles bouncing on high settings - do people on low settings see these vehicles bounce ? & if there is a standard setting - what is it ? Â I would like to set my offline play to that same setting. Athlon850 128MB Radeon32MB

Thanks a lot. & I am waiting until Radeon9700 comes out & then treating myself to a whole new box.

Am stuck here. I plan & execute a good ambush - with luck can even take out both the tank & bmp with RPGs. But by the time I've done this the infantry is out & on top of me. Help. How did you finish this ? Gimme a mine or a satchel & I can finsh the job.

I had no problem running german resistance over english ofp so you will be OK.

Helicopters can land on top of buildings & "Get Out" option works normally. proof on the Nogova tower blocks here Haven't yet tried the LST, but is good indicator for those building assault ships & carriers.

( my hopes are raised )

too harsh. There is no way to target the scud. Launch is for aesthetics only.

You've been watching too much Airwolf or Blue Thunder ( which ever one had a stealth mode )

MP - why do you rate it so bad. One thing did forget to mention is no custom voiceovers & for the money there really should be.

I'd rate it as OK. Â But I think its blasphemy to talk about it in this forum. Got bored one Sunday morning & bought it. Main campaign has an interesting storyline. Â Missions I've played so far are well put together & many are different from the norm. Have found missions to be a lot better than vast majority of the community missions that you can download. Â Nevertheless are still outclassed by a select few community missions & most 1985 campaign missions. On the negative side. Â Some of the briefings are badly translated from German & not clear. Â Some of the map annotations are in German & again causes confusion. Some elements of mission are fun but not realistic. Â At one point you have to sneak into a castle tower that is being bombarded by 5 Hinds. Â Quantity of Hinds is definitely excessive. Summary. Â Well thought out missions ? Â Yes. Â Worth the money ? Â That depends on how much of an OFP fan you really are & how bored of the existing campaign you are. With RedHammer pending might be advised to wait until you played that one to death before splashing out on this one. Certainly no as bad as some of the derogatory & doom & gloom posts that were around a few months ago. (Edited by ilinley at 7:21 pm on Nov. 22, 2001)

Then how could BIS justify charging $100,000's dollars to their military customers when they could go buy the civil version for $50.

Joystick with throttle does make flying consderably more pleasurable.

Why do I have to be Online for a MP game
eonel replied to fixOPFsoundsplease's topic in TROUBLESHOOTING
Don't know if its new to 1.30 or just a quirk that affects some computers. I have never been able to get an MP games going without an internet connection. No reported errors, game just doesn't start. -
I'm sure its because so many are kids. Probably don't even know the spec. of their machine, its daddys.

Tractors are useful & fun. Don't be so negative.

Operation Flashpoint Addon: Between the Lines
eonel replied to Dragunov's topic in ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Have no major complaints with it. Was v. bored last Sunday morning so treated myself. Ths missions are all very well put together & can be quite difficult. The only bit that lets it down for me is some of the briefings do not make 100% sense ( poorly translated from german ) and some of the map annotations are still in german. It beats 99.9% of community made missions, so if you fancy a challenge as a forerunner to RedHammer then why not. Is definitely not as bad as some of the doom & gloom posts I read months ago. -
Had fun recently replaying this mission. Took out the driver of the 5t truck that comes past at the very start. Stole the truck & then basically rammed my way into the base with the hinds running over several troops on the way. Rammed it into buildings in the far corner of compoudn, ran behind buildings & stole a Hind.

DRIVERS !!! I had exactly the same problem & reverting back to 7075 cures it.
