OFP wins there Hands down. Started Royal Flush/QG at first and felt quite at home after OFP. Just quit that ARMA campaign and am in mission 2 of Rhamadi conflict. ARMA is to sterile, lack of cutscences and no Characters to dwell on. That newsies just don't cut. You're not drawn into a infantry simulation by some outside pukes asking dumb questions. Thought with the removal of this marian woman news coverage would end, but no it only got worse. So it was just mission after mission, half of them brainlessly thrown together. Most of the SF missions in ARMA are utter bullshit. Last two missions liberating that northern capital were irritating to put it mildy. So the royal whatever pukes deceide to massacre some of their own people for lack of support and kindle a shooting war with the US? All in all lack of fantasy is the last thing one can attribute to the campaign designers, unfortunately they jumped the shark somewhere along the campaign. Rhamadi conflict seems to have at least a glimpse of atmosphere but the missions are again brainlessly thrown together. A beach landing you've to prepare. Some dug in tanks and infantry ohhh my. And very competent leadership as stated in the missions. Really? Why does SLA attack with just some infantry blokes the next morning while a whole company of tanks parks idly in the rear of that parking lot sized island? Why US don't US forces press on after night landing using the gained initiative but instead are happy to camp out in a thiny beachhead? Speaking of the size of Rhamadi, how the heck is this little blanket able to support a armored brigade of SLA troops? OFP and Resistance had their weak missions too but at least they were all strung together by a solid storyline and carried on by the developing main charachters. S!

Hi there: V1.09 Changes: LOD morphing as described by others and a texture loading lag on my 7600GT, 256MB. Otherwise play is smoother than before. AI indeed isn't anymore able to pinpoint player by sound. What spookes me they are downright stupid sometimes. When you are standing 20m away and they don't react at all. Helicopter flying still a royal pain in the a$$ but there was no mentioning of changes anywhere in the readme, yet still i hope for improvements. S!

Same conclusion there: Stealth doesn't get you anywhere. Took a AT4 and gave two buddies the other ones form the boat. Crawled up the beach and neutralized the two dudes and the patrol near the UAZ/Bunker location then moved a bit forward and let the dudes target the two shilkas. Waited till Flashwhatever was ready and let loose. Generally after having played ARMA campaing the missions are weak. Lack of atmosphere and very linear, some of the SF night missions are just plain stupid. The one with the ammo trucks, where you must prevent anyone from using a radio. Stealth approach with unsilenced weapons? Shoot as you please and be ignored by guys in sceond camp just half a click away as long as you shoot anyone trying to reach the radio? Or the one where you're ordered to blow up armed vehicles in a camp. How's that crawl through the main gate, since you're unable to pass the fences? S!

Ok so you're right, haven't checked your site first, just stumbled over this thread while browsing the forums. S! please excuse my spelling mistakes for at least another two hours. Great news on the new soilder models! That step was long anticipated and will be well received!

You can't imagine how glad I am to hear that! Thanks for investing your time (past and present) into making this stuff, the community owes you all a big one. veteran difficulty?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You kidding? Me would go lost during the first firefight. S!

Super! Nur laut Fourmsuhr habt ihr die Weihnachts Deadline um 1 minute verpasst. Great! But judged by forums time you folks missed Christmas Deadline by one minit! Neverthless great release. Gotta love christmas, all those Addon Modmakers throwing out stuff like there's no tomorrow. Any config update planned for the tanks, just as patch script for christs sake? ;] Hint: Get rid of the explosion effects for APFSDS/Sabot rounds in your tank classes. Defining Sabot ammo as bullet single should do the trick! I always greatly value your releases, top models with gourgerous look and great functionality. Like the berret color change and the vehicle numbering scripts for example. S! Damn typos, one shouldn't check forums after having a few glasses of wine with the family for christmas.

Hi there! Being late into discovering Unsung, so i tested the updated demo. Dropped CSJ Hueys into the folders and added SEBNAM2 Off into the Campaign, Hmmph first showstopper: missing addon "CSJHueyD", ahhh yesss! They were updated, no sense in redownloading the old ones. So ripped apart the campaign file and replaced the Huey addon in the missions, missed one in some intro but it worked for now. So into the first mission. Walk 50 yards then being shoot at, three man down, me was the fourth. RETRY Keep a bit left near that treetrunk, to hopefully have a LOS to that Machinegunner. Boom M79 gunner blew me apart. RETRY MG Charlie was killed no casaulties, wasn#t even able to find the body. Run!!! into the jungle, shooting starts, men call out enemies, spot the first glimpse of a VC, boom. Took a RPG headon. RETRY Somewhat better off, contacts one and two surrived, upon contact three spotted and killed a VC. Firing some more round into supposed direction of enemy brought me return fire from behind. Dead. Not a very encouraging start i would pressume. But hey i keep on trying and manage to get into the mission where you have to take out that AA emplacement. Got there, got back to the LZ, got to the EZ, VC comes up, while trying to figure out what's going on RPG takes out UH34, mission lost. So far that islands are thrilling and fucking dangerous, glad to have had HUD and TAGs enabled, otherwise would have lost my platoon and my live far more often. I shudder when thinking about how it must have been before the update, and more so if thinking of really being there. Your jungles are depressing, one feels constantly frightened and scared of any contact with VC, great! Had the odd being killed from 100m away without seeing even a glimpse of VC, but that happend only twice. Compared to the dozzen of times being killed up close, that AI LOS fix seems to to it's job nicely. The soilder models look nice, esp. the backpacks shine! Not sure if this has been mentioned before: -missing entry config.bin, cfg vehicles, VCf2 something encountered in some missions, once as: bad vehicle. spelling error in mission.sqm? -some script error: wrong expression, also encountered in some missions. - no pics for magazines and M60 in Briefing screen, show up empty in case of magazines and not at all in case of M60. In game they are there but don't show up in the notebook. Check if you could get rid off that running around in the jungles, it's ridiculous, lot's of noise and without HUD you will quickly lose contact with your squad, that also gets dispersed by the way. Nobody would run into a jungle full of suspected enemy. Run only away from the enemy not into him. As leader in that AA emplacement mission set my guys to danger (combat stance) and walked instead of running. Works good they walk with you or go prone when it seems fit and the guys keep in touch better. See if you could enforce that via mission design. All in all thumbs up for your work and keep going! S!

Placed a BWMod logic i suppose. Numbering script error might be connected to the basic pack, at least that's what has been suggested on their forum. S! and have fun with the Bundeswehr!

in Reply to Captain Bravo and Zendjir: Aircrafts (fixed and rotary) in OFP will attack infantry as long as they have a hold waypoint, sure as hell they will then try to keep that WP clear of enemy presence, so go and try this. Otherwise in determining what craft to attack with what weapon AI relies on a rough calculation of weapon hitting power versus amor of the target (structural?). They guys who work on common amor standards for AFVs found it to be a rate of weapon power (direct hit) x 10 <=> amor. If lower then amor they will not attack. Try with a machinegunner let him target a BMP or similar. He will decline the order. Let him target a truck or a car and he will hammer away. Now for aerial targets a similar calculation might be used by BIS, but there are other factors determinging ai weapon use against specific targets, such as precission of identification. Essence is to make troops attack aerial targets with their rifles: They have to have high direct hit values. To change that is out of the question, since this would throw the more or less agreed values of weapon hitting power and personal amor into the bin. Second approach would be to deliberately lower the amor for the Vehicles or try to fiddle with other values but that's up to the addon makers and might create other problems as well. Imagine a M60 gunner taking on said BMP. So try the hold waypoint for the aircraft first and then come back and report if there is still need for a change. S!

Hi there! Being late into discovering FFUR but hey what you have achieved is amazing to put it lightly. Having tried out replacement configs before, they mostly created too much lag on my machine to be playable although they were nice looking. FFUR is different! It creates no lag i could feel and was damn fine looking while also enchanching realism and playability with those cool features. That weapon on back when exiting a jeep and be able to hold it in safe is damn cool. The effects on the choppers are great, so are the vehicle fires too. Playing the Original CWC with FFUR1985 is mindblowing, it's almost a new game judged by look and feel. Congratulations to the whole team and the addon makers that your work depends on. Having scanned briefly through the pages all of the quirks that i saw, which were few, are already mentioned. -RGP7 unloaded when on back/ loaded when in hand for example. However i'd like to throw in my two €-cents in comenting on the M60. The muzzle climb in this perfect vertical line strikes me somewhat odd. There is no horizontal dispersion i could make out. Z-sweep bursts for area targets like a marching platoon are out of the question. Yet i could still hit single targets with short burst and a lot of pulling down on the mouse. What made me feel uneasy too was the amount of smoke it created, five shoots and you stare into a grey wall. Having shoot MG3 in real life, i think this effect, although basically realistic, is overdone. This combined gives me the impression that it's wrongly represented. It's a shame BIS never forethought deployable bipods, this would have solved at least the problems of shooting MGs from the prone position. Would it be possible to decrease muzzle climb while prone specifically and add a bit more dispersion instead. It's my opinion that this would be more representive of shooting a MG from prone positions, since normaly one would have the bipod deployed. My limited expirience with MG3 with Bipod left me with the impression that the muzzle doesn't try to climb but the recoil shakes you around a good deal, spreading hits all around the mark. If one could disregard the clipping issues a model with deployed bipod would be a better visual representaion too. Salute and keep up the great work!

Panzer Marsch! Awesome looking Leopards 1 and 2. I like to see the 1A5 resurrected. So now one could do a 90ies scenario too. Although all of the BW Tanks comitted to Bosnia or Kosovo were 2A5, but hey it's a game. The A6 packs a mighty punch, one shoot and the ICP T72 is history. That ERA thing will eat 4 Milan from a Mader and yet the crew lives to tell the tale but bows to the Panzerfaust 3 after just two hits. Suppose this is ICP(ORCS)s fault with the ERA script. Halt Achtung Minen! Halt Achtung Minen! Halt Achtung Minen! The KE rounds (DM53 and 63 and the Leopard 1A5 ones; commonly APFSDS) all are of a explosive type! . That's a BIS fault continued.....and looks gay when a miss in the dirt kicks up smoke and flames like a artillery shell. Please get rid of the explosin effect for the sabots when they hit dirt. That's just a config thinge, if possible just post a new config for the editing guys to replace the one in the pbos, faster fixing this way. I followed your development through all stages and I'm always happy to see the results of your hard work, so many thanks to you, made my day. S!

Congratulations on this Masterpiece of a campaign, great cutscenes good and varied missions that require guts and brain. It's wonderfull you spend your time and made this, many thanks. Also to have now some of those astonishing addons put into non the less astonishing missions is a wonderfull expirience. The small details added to the missions make this one a great expirience. Besides TYtD, Retaliation and the original CWC and Resistance campaigns this one will certainly get it's place in the hall of fame. You were also able to go way beyond your former work OP Mercury, which was the very first custom camapigns i dl and played. Being now into third mission and i thought hey let's bring it on, we're the best, we're tough, we're Rangers! We're just two? Although I see your problem as AI pathfinding in Tatu is somewhat strange and a full squad would have keept me busy collecting the guys gone astray rather than conducting the raid. Downside was my sqadmade killed himself with a grenade or was killed right as we had stung into the weapon storage area (a real hornets nest) and the mission was lost. Wtf? was the first thing that came to my mind, better leave him in the truck the second. One other thing that irritated me. Why was the Bradley in Mission two a early one without additional amour? As Mech. Infantry soilder i would feel a lot safer with any inch of amour between a gang of RPG worshipping rebels and me. S! And keep up the good work!

Hi there! That Tangos look promising! I'm impressed with the detail and the ability to have more than one gun position. I see some possibilities of riverine warfare missions surface with them. And to be honest any addition to the riverine force for OFP is welcome. That Airboat is nice too, could come in handy in habour patrol scenarios or quick insertions. Anyone tried it in the RSSZ (Part of the ILO ILO island release?) Col. Klinks NASTY PT was a handy craft and it was fun to intercept trawler off the coast with them. Anyone knows of a somewhat more real PBR for Vietnam. The Bis one has the guntub of the Mark One. A additional rear cal .50 would also be great. Not sure if an M60 and the M18 Grenade lauchner would be doable too? drifting off and dreaming..... S! and good luck with The Unsung.

Thanks for the answers, without your help I would still not have figured out that one. Thanks and have a nice day. S!

To be honest i haven't tested that mission yet but just the review of macguba was worth the visit of this thread, that sure as hell was entertaining. If it helped to improve the mission so much the better. Will see after i tried it out. S!
