I don't see a problem with this 'balance-issue'... cus the balance is all in the hands of the mission designers. Just because you got a M113, a Vulcan, a Bradley, a M60 and an Abrams; does'nt mean you HAVE to use everyone of them in all the missions

blaah! some serious replys please

If a chopper takes alot of time to land, then you probably forgot to add a helipad for it. OBJECTS->Helipad (invisible) If you want a chopper to just land somewhere and stay there: Put a area trigger there. Group it with the chopper so that no one except the chopper can ectivate it. in the on activation-field: choppername land "land" Now when the chopper crosses the trigger it will land on the invisible helipad and turn off it's engines. It will stay there forever unless you give it a new command. If you got problems getting this to work, you can also make the chopper fly in the height of 1-2 meters. Make it stop to a hover and cut it's fuel supply with choppername setfuel 0 Then when you want the chopper to take off again you can use the choppername setfuel 1 -Sometimes I got problems getting the chopper to land and let me as a soldier board it when I'm not using waypoints, then I use the setfuel-method with triggers and conditions or use a Hold-WP and make the chopper hover at 0 meters (that means it's on the ground with the engine on) neat hu

I ALT-TAB alot in OFP. That's what's so cool with OFP; no crashes or any glitches. Only 'bug' I notice is that the background of the filofax for the briefing etc turns a bit darker.

My point exactly

The G3 (or G3A3 or AG-3 as we call it over here) is German and made by Heckler&Koch. Tho the ones we got over here is made by Kongsberg Weapon factory (on license from H&K) and are the best made of the G-3's. I served my year in the air-force. 080 Corporal Gundersen at your service. I've used the M72 (law), a Browning .50 on tripod, an MG-3, a Glock 17 and a MP5 (A3) -I think. And ofcourse my personal weapon; the AG-3 I did'nt crawl that much in the mud, as my job was Air/Ground equipment for the P3-C Orions at Andřya Airbase. I mainly sat in my tractor towing Orions in and out of hangars and maintaining the power-generators. Kinda cool when I sat in that tractor knowing that if something went wrong...well the Orions only costs a billion norwegian 'kroner'

Don't forget that OFP is first and foremost a foot-sim. Look at the 'west' weapon-arsenal, then look at the 'east'. All they got are AK-74's, a Bizon, a PK and a Dragunov. Not much variation there... Â

IMHO a nice story + reallistic missions = Great Gameplay. Cutscenes are nice, but not essential as they are skipped the second time I see them. Therefore I prefer working on the mission (gameplay) instead of the cutscenes. -just my opinion tho.

Totally agree. I got MOHAA 4 days ago. Finnished it 2 days ago. Broke and threw away the cds yesterday. I hate those 'narrow patchs' you are forced to walk in MOHAA. I prefer AI over scripting and freedom of movement over small and very nice areas(graphic). When are the console developers admit that : EYECANDY==!GAMEPLAY hehe freedom && realism == gameplay Conclusion: condition !alive OFP onactiv forceend

...and some new 'east' rifles. A Galil -commando or something (can't remember the exact name)

Hey Acid! Are you on acid? A bullet takes time to arrive at its target. The greater the distance - The longer travelling time - move further infront of the target. If the target is moving to your right, then aim a bit infront of him. In real life you could launch a TOW on a flying object, but it is easily avoided as AGM's fly slow and are poor at manuevering.

You can choose the age of a unit. If I remember correctly there were 'current', '5 minutes' etc Can someone tell me what this actually do or can do? thanks

thanks for enlightening me

hehe well if the norwegian prime minister were in an OFP expansion, then that alone would give me a mighty good reason to buy it ...especially if he was the villain

...as I said earlier; It should have been the G3A3 instead of the G36

The problem here is your keyboard. A sticky-key... When everything is going full speed, then try hitting the left-SHIFT and you should be fine. btw is that keyboard a IBM Rapid Access or something similar with built-in web-browser functions like back/forward ? -Those keyboards are known to have a sticky-shift-key

The 'SQS' extension is for script-files. Just like the 'SQM' is a mission-file. Sith: How about some tuts on: Dummies guides on how to make scripts? cheers
