Just one more note on my last message--I had the 1985 Campaign patch applied when I played under 1.91.

I believe that the CWC campaign is definitely different (and worse) under 1.91 then under 1.20. I am pretty certain because I was just re-doing the campaign under 1.91 (and it didn't seem to be as exciting as I remembered when I played it the first time using 1.30). BTW, I had the viewdistance at 900. So I uninstalled everything (I don't have many add-ons or other down-loads so it's no big deal for me), then I re-played under 1.20 (just straight original Operation Flashpoint). I only did the first two missions, but I can tell you that the first couple missions (Flashpoint and especially Combined Arms) are much more exciting under 1.20 than 1.91. I played them in veteran mode with all aids off, but not super-ai, in both 1.20 and 1.91. There's just a lot more going on under 1.20; a lot more enemy activity. I re-played Combined Arms a few times in both 1.20 and 1.91, so I'm pretty certain this is no fluke. Is there any problem with having more than one installation? I'm tempted to have one at 1.20 for CWC, one at 1.30 for Red Hammer, one at 1.75 for Resistance, and one at 1.9x for down-loaded new missions. That way I can be sure as possible that I'm playing the missions under their design conditions.

Nope. I was concerned by that comment in the other web-site too, but then I saw a thread here where an OFP developer confirmed that if you use any built-in cheat code you will not activate FADE. (Which is logical; why would they build in cheats that would do that?) On the other hand if you use some third-party trainer it could happen.

Another solution: go to avonlady's faq and download the completed redhammer.sqc file she has there. You get a completed campaign so you can play any mission you want. If you only want to skip one mission, just revert back to the mission you want to start with.
