Good work! Who creates an Pearl Harbor 2 mission? That was my first thoughts when I flew the first attack against the village. Zero Pilot - Fighters of Silver Wing And shooting down the planes isn`t easy as infantry or pilot. As an BMP gunner it`s okay - but the planes are annoying like an swarm of mosquitos... Now Gimbal got to create another challenging mission (depends on the side): Tossers vs Russky Cessnas And to enhance the chances for the resistance they will all get an additional slingshot with unlimited ammo.

My OFP: V1+0, Then Red Hammer (V1.3), then V1.45and then V1.46. No addons (up to now ). Today I saw something which I haven`t seen before: While playing the "Red Hammer" mission of the Red Hammer campaign I saw enemy soldiers and my own comrades passing through the concrete walls which surround the resistance training installation (those barracks with the two watch towers). After killing the resistance I tried everything but I wasn`t able to do the same... And with the latest patches I can`t drive vehicles keyboard only like I could do it before. And honking and configuring the joypad again is also an problem (joypad only needed for choppers).

You all forgot the most important thing for playing OFP online: Persistent patience! Don`t plan to play OFP if you don`t got at least 1 hour time to play. If you can`t wait any longer than 2 minutes play CS! Sometimes you got to wait for 20 minutes in the lobby until a new game starts and some online games took 45 minutes and more. So be prepared! And OFP needs an new option: When waiting in the game lobby for a new game to start and you switch to the internet (Alt + Tab) to surf in the meanwhile, an sound should be warning you when the actual game ends so that you can switch back just in time - otherwise you got to wait again...

The BW-Mod! BW is the abbrevation for the german "Bundeswehr" (German Federal Armed Forces). For more informations look here: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....;t=7725 But I got to agree that also the Vietnam and the WWII mod are the most promising mods.

And I also read about uploading the english section of the homepage (about the mod and units) so be patient or use my instructions how to navigate through the website: At the mainpage http://www.bwmod.de.vu click only on "Download" if you got no Flash installed, then click "Vollbild" for fullscreen and "Window" is for... yes, an windowed version. On the new screen there will be an bar on the left with different sections. "In Arbeit" means "in progress", there you can find unfinished 3D models. "Waffen" means "weapons", there you can find finished 3D models. "Fahrzeuge" means "vehicles", there you can find finished 3D models. Under "Download" you can find desktop backgrounds and an trailer which shows an "Gepard" (AA tank) and an "Leopard 1A5". Maybe I should start an new thread (in english) in their forum where people which don`t understand german vote for an english based section. Maybe it helps...

Thanks to Kegetys for mirroring the patch - 10 times faster than BIS one. By what new error is the heli-bug now replaced? Old OFP tradition to replace old bugs with new ones so the player doesn`t get bored...

I used the search function to see if there is already an topic about the "Bundeswehr" mod (german federal armed forces) now called BW-mod but nothing came up. So I`m starting this one. This seems to me the far advanced mod regarding models and quality except "Invasion 1944". The scenary should be in the formerly Yugoslavia because the enemy are the serbian (?) forces. Not an very realistic scenario because the BW didn`t fight there but it looks good. My reason to start this topic was this very good picture of car models with an Mercedes Benz "Wolf" (G300?) and an VW 181 "Kuebelwagen" (The Thing): Drool! For more informations and impressive 3D models go to http://www.bwmod.de.vu

The laptop in OFP is an nice feature but there is another small detail which no one mentioned: The filofax which displays the briefing and debriefing and the war diary. And when it`s closed you will see an logo on it: An german firm who produces pencils, ball pens, filofaxes... - everything which you need in an office. How much did BIS get for making adverts?

When OFP V1.0 was released it was still in an beta status so light and shadow was balanced. You enjoyed the many possibilities, units, landscapes and story but at the same time you were disappointed by much too much bugs/errors/flaws. Then there were many updates/patches/add-ons which improved this impressive game but also brought us new bugs. And for an game which wasn`t intended for online gaming they improved the netcode from V.10 to V1.4 very much - but it could still be better. Now with OFP V1.4 it`s nearly perfect although there are still some annoying bugs. But since the Virtual Battle System came up there are some serious questions about the future of OFP: OFP is an worldwide success which brought CM a lot of money, also the OFP Gold Upgrade. But what brings more money? Hundred thousands of normal user who paid ~40$ for OFP and thousands of normal user who bought OFP Gold Upgrade for ~20$, or the military who would pay much more money for the VBS and further add-ons and updates? And who brings the most money get the most attraction and service so I am afraid that the service for us normal users will drop in the future. I may be wrong but this is my impression and apprehension. And I think that most of the new units for the VBS will be classified so that we will never see most of them. Maybe there will be an VBS 2 in the near future which will be downgraded to an OFP2 - who knows. But I am sure that there will be an OFP2 because OFP is such an success and you should never change an winning team. And maybe this time we get what we paid for - an product with a few minor bugs and not another beta status game because of an much too narrow dead line of the publisher. And I also hope that the development tools will be released for the public in near future to keep the OFP community alive. Thanks to BIS for this outstanding game, especially for OFP being their first title and thumbs down for CM for narrow dead lines. That is my opinion and what about yours? (You don´t need to flame me - I know that I suck! )

I think the idea with the random civilians is good - I like games where you got to think before you shoot. And a few animals to revive the landscape - why not? Even the CBM Amiga version of Hard Drivin` had an cow, also those other Amiga classic "Hunter" (Activision ©1991), which reminds me in a lot of things to OFP, had animals - but there was an penalty when you killed them (you would lose some of your score). It`s strange that threads mentioning animals and their deaths (on purpose or not) will be locked or deleted because it also happens in real life while we play an wargame where you kill humans and this also happens in real and this is much more brutal! Are soldiers and civilians no lifeform? I see - mankind is still on THIS level...

When all conditions are good for MP I like MP coop most. This mode really needs teamwork because otherwise you won`t beat the AI. And because kills don`t give you points in this mode the only thing what counts is the mission goal and this increases teamplay. If I want to play DM, TDM or CTF I better play an fps! And since the AI is toned down in V1.4 I can now enjoy SP for the first time.
