Never mind. I had Cool n' Quiet on. The figures are now 6410, 6341. Thanks Derek

Just upgraded from Athlon XP 1800+, 512MB DDR266, Radeon 8500 to Athlon 64 3400+, 1024MB DDR400, Radeon X800Pro. Previously I got cpu= 4000, geometry = 4083. Now it is 2343, 2391! What gives? Thanks in advance Derek

To me it's really realistic. How bright is real war? Derek

Is more colourful more realistic? Derek

This is a joke, yes? Derek

If I run missions that require it under v1.96 I get an error - Cannot load mission, missing addons: kegssoldierwg36a - though the missions appear to continue uneffected. The same missions run under v1.46 - where it is possible to do so - do not show the error message. Is there a basic incompatibility between this and Resistance, or is it a side-effect of my set-up? Thanks Derek

Continuing from this post in my now locked thread: I can see no difference. Derek

Wondering why my score in a mission was lower than I expected, I put some units in the editor to check their points. I was surprised to find an American officer is worth 500. I'd assumed it would be the same as for a Russian officer - 1000. Derek

No, it's up to the mission creator whether to show it or not. Derek

I was wondering as I had looked at this mission yesterday, but didn't see any mention of solo play. Presumably that explains why it's hard: you're having to rely upon AI teammates rather than human ones. Derek

Acecombat, playing it alone? Derek

At least it's realistic then: the Gazelle got a bad rap in the Falklands for exactly that reason. Derek

I started a mission – Facile Ground - on cadet level. Later I changed the difficulty to veteran and then resumed. At the end of the mission I was awarded two pearls. Does this indicate the difficulty was still at cadet, or is my understanding that you get only stars, rather than pearls, on veteran incorrect? Thanks Derek

Answer here Derek

Where on the forum, or even better post the link. Derek

What's the score with Olga? Sometimes she just stands there, sometimes she kills the soldier, sometimes he kills her. Derek

Are there any single-player missions that allow you to call down heavy artillery fire. I've played a couple of missions for the FDF mod where you have mortar support, but in both cases it's fairy limited. I'd like something that has a lot of ammo and preferably of a large calibre. Thanks Derek

Thanks guys. It's going now. Did the sub folder thing, seems I'm okay with -nomap. Thanks again Derek

I can't get a mod folder to work. My folder is: C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\tonalmod The folder contains: BAS_I1.pbo, BAS_I2.pbo, bas_lbs185.pbo, bas_lbs.pbo, BAS_O.pbo, BAS_OPCPP.pbo, BAS_OPFOR.pbo, JAM_Magazines.pbo, JAM_Sounds.pbo The shortcut is: "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -mod=tonalmod;hisky -nomap -nosplash Error message is: Cannot load mission, missing addons: bas_opfor, bas_o, jam_magazines Copying the files from the mod folder to the Addons folders will allow the campaing to start. Thanks in advance Derek

What size should I let it get to before it's likely to cause problems? Thanks Derek

To be fair Winters, the briefing only says kill the general. Derek

Is this a replacement for The Return of Guba, or a compliment? Derek

I take it that I have to kill all the spetnaz on the mountain top, not just the general? Derek
