There are two conditions which must be met before any type of peace and stability is achieved (and I'm not overly optimistic that either one is close unfortunately): 1. The West must stop turning a blind eye to Israel's barbaric fits of rage (i.e., Lebanon War 2006, Gaza Invasion). If the West is truly the beacon of civilization that it claims to be, it must do away with it's racist double standards. Furthermore, it must acknowledge and take responsibility for the antisemitism that led to the creation of the Jewish state (i.e. Nazi Germany). How long will Palestinians have to pay for the sins of Europeans? 2. A unified Palestine with effective deterrence. The Israeli military should not feel safe to cross into Palestinian territory whenever it wants to go on a killing binge. If we remember the 2006 war in Lebanon, Hizballah was able to greatly prevent Israeli ground forces from advancing using fairly basic AT and AA weaponry. Also remember that Israel's casualties during that war were overwhelmingly military whereas Lebanon's were overwhelmingly civilian. I'm not saying that groups like Hizballah and Hamas are perfect, certainly they have their faults and are constantly evolving, but I do believe that given more sophisticated and precise weaponry, they would choose to use it on military targets, not civilian. I simply can't understand why the Israeli military, after having committed so many massacres of civilians over the years, is somehow exempt from "terrorist" status.

Man I haven't posted on this forum in a long time but this mod is looking great. To be honest, I'm looking forward to this more than Arma 2 and OFP 2. At least I can be sure that the campaign will be great. Thanks for all your work guys, sorry I can't offer any assistance.

Thank you so much, this really brings the OFP feeling back!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has made an M4 acog o M4 eotech, using the same bis M4 Aimpoint model (minus the aimpoint obviously). There was a video posted on ArmedAssault.info showing an M4 eotech, but I'm not sure if this has been released publicly.

@gT.SWAT-guy That M4 looks great, the SWAT unit also looks cool. Looking forward to your release.

@Big Rooney You said officers and soldiers have the same detection range and that specops have a higher range. Do you know the name of these values in the config so that I can reset them to their defaults? Thanks.

Two questions for TB: First, I was wondering which value to edit in the config so that ai doesn't spot enemies from such long distances (I want to change it back to bis default). Since I play with 1000 view distance, ai often spots enemy vehicles before they are even visible on the screen. Second, is there a noticeable improvement in frame rate from 2005 to 2006? I'm still playing 2005. Thanks.

I thought I would provide a link to a site that provides some accurate information about Islam. Hopefully this will help people better differentiate between Islamic and un-Islamic practices. http://muslim-canada.org/islam_is.html

Oh man, this is so depressing. As a Muslim, I am offended by images that insult any prophet (whether it be Jesus, Moses, or Muhammad, peace be upon them all). However, this is ridiculous. Burning the embassies of a country from which one individual decided to draw stupid pictures is crazy. I can't believe that these protestors are so incensed about this but not about their own corrupt governments. I mean, what the heck has Denmark ever done to Muslim countries? Although I live in the West, I can understand that situations are very tough in much of the Muslim world, but this anger is misplaced and seems to be hypocritical. To all of you who might have become further disillusioned with the state of Western-Islamic relations, here is one practicing Muslim who would like to continue a peaceful and rational dialogue. Not all of us who love our religion and our prophets are closed minded. I am saddened by the polarization towards hatred on both sides. Peace

First of all, congradulations on such a thorough and professional job. I finally downloaded this replacement pack (took me several nights with bloody 56K -- but it was worth it). Just one question, around how large will the upcoming changes be, is it a patch or will I have to redownload another 500 megabytes? Not that I won't download it, you and your team have obviously put in a huge amount of work into this, but I'm hoping there might be a "lighter" patch version. Thanks again, peace

Hi, I'm trying to play spanky G's Operation Liberation 1.9 campaign but I keep getting the error, "cannot find addon: objects". I've installed all of the addons specified in the readme including objects1.pbo and objects2.pbo. I'm running OFP 1.96, any help would be appreciated since I was unable to contact spanky G via email. Thanks

Does anyone have a working leaning while prone animation? I like the rolling while prone move but since I fire most of my shots while prone, I find the former a bit more useful. I used this feature extensively while playing hidden and dangerous 2 and found that it was very helpful in order to avoid enemy fire.

It's good to see that the need for some of these animations is getting more attention. OFP really needs a leaning animation like Hidden and Dangerous 2. How many times have I died in OFP because I had to expose my whole body in order to shoot around a corner. This animation alone will add greatly to the gameplay. It would be nice if you could work together with the Operation 85 team to add this feature to OFP.

Just noticed on http://ofp.gamezone.cz the new leaning animations from Operation 85. Has this feature been implemented in any other mods? If not, I think that this will be a great gameplay element, especially when you're trying to defend a position from behind a sandbag or a wrecked tank

While some of the reactions to this seem a bit strong, we should remember that these guys (RHS) must have put in countless hours on their work. When someone dedicates their time for other peoples enjoyment (whether it be an art, writing, or an addon for OFP which we all love), it becomes really shady for another to steal that work and scribble their name on it. RHS have the right to be pissed, but their units when released will be enjoyed my many more people than this rip off.

@C4P741N -nomap fixed my troubles, thanks alot

Hi, this mod works great on my unmodded version of ofp but as soon as I try to start Pappy's mod, I get a crash to desktop. A couple of people have posted the same trouble but with no response. My system specs are: P4 3.05 Ghz / 1 Gig ram / ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, Cat 4.7 / Windows XP Home / OFP GOTY 1.96. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, I'm giving the night flight mission another try. I'm able to get to the island at an altitude of 2-3 and I'm told that I have successfully reached the area without being detected. Now, once I start destroying the vulcans and choppers on the island (also at a very low altitude), I get the message "s***, we've been spotted" and then I'm told to leave the area. How are you supposed to destroy everything on the island without being spotted? Is there a specific target that should be knocked out first? If you destroy everything regardless of whether or not you are spotted, can you successfully complete the mission? Thanks

 --------too bad my piloting skills are garbage (flying choppers in ofp is not exactly a precise science) and I had to cheat to get no next level.  Anyhow, what I did was race to the village super fast where the choppers couldn't get to me, then when they turned to make their attack runs, I blew them out of the sky with my sabot.  Funny seeing a chopper bounce down a hill.  Now I'm trying to escort the convoy but they keep getting stuck around laruns, then a commander in russian (no subtitles) is saying something about "protection" and the mission ends (none of the convoy has been destroyed though.

wow, sucks for me then! Â While driving along the coast from Regina to the next objective, at least two cobras fly in from the sea and destroy my entire tank column. Â I jump out of the tank and only four of the twelve crew men are still alive. Â Two of these get killed in a short skirmish with US infantryman and since the remaining two can only crawl, I leave them behind and proceed to complete the objectives on foot. Â Although it took a long time, I was able to destroy a humvee, two m113's, a Bradley, 2 m60's and one abrams with all of the AT weapons left lying around by deceased grunts along the way to the final objective. Â By the time I got there, so much time had passed that it was already dark enough to use my NV goggles in the valley. Â But has anyone else had this problem with the cobras or am I the only lucky one? Â By the way, I also use the Y2K3 mod, except the CPU friendly one seems to have less issues since the ECP effects are disabled.

****spoiler**** Anyone have any tips on how to avoid being destroyed by the cobras in the T80 tank column after Regina (forgot the name of the mission)? Â This campaign is absolutely fantastic by the way!

Hey, thanks alot for the speedy reply! Will check that out

Hey Pappy, I'm making a couple of changes to the config for personal preferences, and was wondering how to change the field of view or weapon placement in the first person view back to the default. Could you tell me where to change these values in the config (and possibly what values to replace)? Thanks alot

Very nice work Mr. Boyington, this saves me alot of work.

Ah, yes that did the trick. Well aside from feeling like a real bonehead, I'm smiling now. Thanks alot Blackdog, and thanks RHS, the tanks look real good, peace.
