RMATICH

I think I have 1.08. My version says 1.08.5163 I have the German DVD. My problem involves crosshairs and night vision goggles. They apear very zoomed in. Gone is the round shape in cross hairs and the NVs have a blury stuff in front. I can see some but its clearly wrong. I'm going to change my resolution setting and see if thats a fix. Tried a few other things and it did nothing. Any answers? Thanks in advance.

Well thanks to Placebo [who posted a fix on the forums] I was able to install without the "no campaign" bug. I also changed some setting in my ATI console to 24 bit and another in my ATI console in the same area. I then added "maxmem=600" in my shortcut. I have P4 2.8 Ghrz, 1 gig [soon to be 2] of DDR 400 ram ATI Radeon 9800XT 256, Audigy 2 zs sound card. I can run Armed Assault with most every thing on normal or high at 1024 X 768. No Anti A though. Texture detail on low because of what [i think] Maruk posted about performance. Don't quote me on that though. Game run fine for me now [finding wood to knock on]. Thank you BIS and all for a great battle sim. I runs for me at least. Lets hope the bugs for others get ironed out. My helicopters fleet is grounded for the moment untill a certain "control problem" can be worked out.

I'm excited!!! I'm getting the German version sent to me in a few weeks. I'm in complete shock! Its here. Its here! Armed Assault. The screenshots are making me salavate and sweat. Hehehehe. It will be a very Merry X-Mas.

This is all very funny indeed. [copter] Hahahaha.

Thats a great question. Thanks for asking for me.

I love the new screensshots and the release date in Germany of November 30th is making my mouth water. Was Operation Flashpoint and Resistance released all at once or were they released at different times for different nations/areas? One thing I have trouble with is believing that we will be able to have hundreds of troops and weapons in a mission at once without everything bogging down. I guess Bis knows what they are doing but I'll believe massive battles on my P4 2.8 ghz with 1 gig ram when I see it. Hl2 and other games run smooth. Will AA? We shall know soon I think. The game appears 80% to 90% complete from the screns and video we have all seen recently. Sound: Any word on if they have bettered the sound engine on AA? My onboard 5.1s [motherboard] don't do much good. I can't hear copters or anything behind me at all ingame. I'm hoping for a new sound package but from what I've heard it sounds the same. I'm eagerly awaiting release in any case.

I don't have a snowball's chance in Hell of winning but I gave it a try! Placebo did you get that cake I baked for you and the judges??? Hmm???

So that I don't have to go and read endless posts on this thread please tell me where AmedA stands right now. Do we have a publisher? Thats what I'm worried about is that they don't have a publisher yet. Are there legal issues with Codemasters or somthing?

Nice M4 and revolver. Keep up the good work.

I am looking forward to these! Great work guys. My Christmas will be a wonderful one now that thse are going to come out.

1. Thanks for the hosting siite. I will take you up on the offer. I'll start my writing and planning this week and shall begin by the weekend. 2. Thanks for the advice. I plan on making playable missions that are a bit of a challange for the jaded Flashpoint comunity. I'll try to only use the addons that people might have or recognize. BAS, E&S Marines, DKM, and so on.

I've been chicken ever since my Nam missions got criticlly shot down. I had no respawn/save. I explained that my missions were based on real life and if you got killed then I guess you had to start all over. They wanted it video game style where they had multiple oportunities to suceed at the mission. Should I submit missions with only pass/fail or should I give into the temptation and Give them the respawns they so crave? Also where do I host my mission of the moment [or a few] for free? Any good hosting sites?

Wow! I'm looking forward to these units and buggys. Thanks Extraction.

I'm going to make my comments brief. Why OFP after all this time? My opinion from the beginning [and I've been heckled and laughed at by a few in the community] is that Operation Flashpoint is not a GAME in the classic sense. Its a "combat simulator". Its a watered down version of VBS1 used by our Marines, Secret Service and maybe others we don't know about. VBS1 is an important tool to train with. All the addons make Flashpoint [am I right in saying this?] very close to VBS1 by now. The engine is being perfected and changed [Col Klink+DXDLL etc] all the time. We now have combat's Humvees with tow's etc. My new rig runs Flashpoint smooth as silk with tons of addons. The engine allows me to have the freedom to do allmost any senerio I wish in allmost any time [WW2, Vietnam, Cold War, War on terror etc]. Also there are all those wonderful huge islands. Lastley it is a fine tribute to the men and women who wear the uniform of this great country [and other nations as well]!!!

It depends on the foleage pif any is in the way or not. Last night I snuck up on 6 Free Malden guerrillas and killed all with out them even firing a shot. Their skill was just slightly below normal. I was Earl & Suchy's Russian Naval Spetsnaz with an ak74m from a regular [or some AK] from the Russian soldier that comes with that same Marine pack. I crawed up and 2 came right at me. I could have kissed the feet of one of the soldiers. II pointed the gun up up up and shot him in the chest. Quickly plugged the other one on full auto. Then I shot off a greande in the other direction to pin down any flanking movement by the others. I moved around in the other direction around a building. Took out the others with ease. If you pinn them down and make them think they are surrounded they panic and run. My biggest problem is catching that last man before he runs away!!! Cowards!!! Special Forces books I've read. Make em think they are surrounded or opposing a larger force. I forget the term right now. Hit them har and feirce. Scare them sensless. Grenades, guns on full auto. Shoot one way and then quickly move around the opposite side and shoot again. Alot of force all at once. Give em hell. All this makes the differnce for me in how I handle the AI. Sometimes though I'm suprised.

My pc is in the shop [on my old one now]. When I get it back I might try it on my new pc. One poster though brought up something about the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256. I thave the ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256. Anyone there using that card with the Cat drivers? Having any trouble? Feedback wanted before atempting such a download. Thanks. The addon looks sweet. Nice work also making the updates and listening to the comunity. Wanting to get it right for us just makes me all warm and tingley inside. Not that kind of tingley!!!

First off let me say I have no idea who would win because Troska dies at the end of Resistance. It should be between he and the toughest Soviet Spetsnaz though. I would like to adress the pewrson who said that if we call Flashpoint a "combat simulator" we should go out side and see the real world. Ok I just went and in "some" respects I still think Operation Flashpoint [with addons] is a "combat trainer" of sorts. What do say about that. Nothing I've ever played gives me the feel of realism that Flashpoint does. I'll never be in the military but I like my little "stratigic sim". So there!!!! Who would win in a fight us or the mods? Mods because they have the baby seals by their scrawny little necks with one hand and a big club in the other!!!

I just got a pc that can handle Operation Flashpoint properly. I want to sit and enjoy the add ons for a while. Addon makers have lots more addons they can make. Look at some Janes military books for ideas. I think If we can get high resolution textures the way we now have glass like water and improved night vision [thanks Kegety] then we can have lots more for this engine. I'm confident if we knock a few heads together [mine is way big though] we can imporove the engine way more.Also there is the explosion and sound modifications done. Plus skies. What I'm saying is the future is gonna be good to this engine if we can look beyond the new OFP2 release date. We are just now beginning to crack the limits of the engine to make a Flashpoint 2 of our very own. Only thing is our community Flashpoint 2 has come over time. One new sky, water texture, sound mod, island, or new to use a weapon at a time. I'm happy!!! Come get happy!!! [Partrige Family]

My new pc runs OPFP at 1204x1204 or so on high detail. I have an ATI Radeon 9800Xt card and an Audigy 2 ZS sound card. Thanks to all those in the "favorite addons thread because that made it easier to find the addons I needed. I only have 512 MB of ram so it does not run "everything" maxed out. I have 2100 for my view distance with all shadows and textures on. My cockpit and models are maxed in resolution. I have also tweeked my LODs. I'm getting 19 to 34 frames a second even with the new Water/NVG post proscesing with Kegety's addon. The water looks fantastic now. I'm playing Call Of Duty and the sound rock with my Audigy 2 ZS. I also got Unreal Tournament 2004. I'm able to run Medal Of Honor and the Spearhead addon fulling maxed as I am able to run the other 2 [COD and UT2004]. I'll be tweeking OFP to get just the right mix. Its view distance that I hear makes a big impact on frame rates. My pc was custom built for gaming. I'm so thrilled to be able to play Flashpoint the way it is meant to be played. This community helps make the transition to my new machine a smooth one. Thanks all. I hope this is in the right area or is appropriate.

I have now tried this addon. Kegety you da man!!!! The NVGs finnaly work the way they should for modern battle [have not tried FDF yet though]. A fight in the streets on tonal rocked last night. My NVGs had me thrilled. Thanks for helping us all Kegety.

Statues of differnet types and sizes. Nice looking signs like Guba For President o4, welcome war heros, or simply Killroy was here. Roadside billboards would be good also. Carts to sell things like from a market somewhere. There are a lot of open market areas in Europe. A podium, anthing red white and blue like banners and bunting, ballons. Really patriotic. I've wanted flag draped caskets of different countrys like Us and Russia, Britton. A hearch and an American Flag draped casket on a stand. Flower arrangments, a hearse. A movie screen [large outdoor one] showing a picture of a movie scene. A football, base ball fields, and outdoor basketball court. I'll think of more later. A few types of swimming pools would be nice also. Flashpoint needs all kinds of stuff that has not been added yet. I'm trying to think of more but can't. Thast a start at least.

Although I have yet to try this addon [i will when I have time next week to enjoy it] I want to extend my warmest thank yous to the BAS team for providing me with some of the best addons made for OFP. They DO NOT look like reskins to me. I heard an interview with Tigershark on some site and he is fantastic to listen to. Hats off to him and you also Deadmeat. BTW. An armoured vehicle like the BTRt could be a part of an aid package or bought through some international arms dealer or arms trade show. They have show in places and a country can purchase new or used weopons at these shows. We give military aid to countries. How do you think Isreal and Egypt get those fighters and helicopters? Isreal has some of our Patriot missles. Hope that clears things up.

Great posts by all epeaclially our Delta person! Hats off to you sir! I like the fact that we have one in our OFP comunity. Question for him is this: How do the Operation Flashpoint addon Deltas and rangers Spetznas etc do as far as relistic weapons and uniforms not to mention the squad make ups? I'd love to here what he has to say. Also can someone clarify anything on Force Recon? Whats do they do? I'm still not sure. I know they have practised urban warfare. TIA.

I think these Aussie Units look the coolest! Please try to have at least one unit with a Steyr. It would'nt seem Australian to me without one. Also I urge those addon makers listed before to lend their support [ie models] to this important new addon. Let us work together in a spirit of cooperation that can mutualy assure the long standing survival and further growth of this great tactical simulator know to the free world as Operation Flashpoint! Remember: WHO DARES WINS

Very nice addon! I'm going to try it out now. I'm back after a long absence [ I thought I was banned but it was just browser-log in trouble].
