Greeting, OFP gamers! I’m new to this game, just bought it two weeks ago! My question on this board is if it is possible to make helicopters and VSTOL planes to land and take off from addon assault carrier ships like the USS Wasp class aircraft carriers and Kiev Class Aircraft carriers. Or do I need to buy the Resistance addon and update it to 1.91 version to make this work? This is no problem for me. I was planning on getting a copy this weekend. Also, does it require a lot of script writing to make helicopters land on it and infantry units walk around on aircraft carriers? I’ve seen some screenshoots of addon designers making aircraft carriers that are still in beta stage but they didn’t say if it was for OFP 1.46 or OFP Resistance! I have OFP version 1.46 and I am planning on making a Wasp class and Kiev class aircraft carriers with Marine Corps and Russian aircraft like the Ch-46, Ch-53, UH-1N, AH-1W, Yak38, Harrier, Ka-27, Mi-28. It’s for a campaign I want to create about Russian and Marine Snipers based on the excellent “USMC Ghillie sniper suit†and “TOW Marines†from flashpoint.org until Independence Lost is released. Thanks for any input!

Okay, this is a newbie question! In the “Marooned†mission of Redhammer, I killed everyone at the fuel station, destroyed the AA vehicles with a law launcher that I borrowed from Allied soldiers camping nearby, and repatriated the Mi-17 the Americans were guarding. Then I fly over to the main airbase and I can’t target any of the parked choppers. I tried pressing the tab button but I can’t get a lock on any of the un-occupied helicopters, only a truck driving around. I try to order my medic to get a lock on the parked helos but no lock! So, my question is how do I get a lock on unoccupied vehicles so that my gunner can fire away or is this just a bug?  I check the forum archives using words like “targeting†and “Marooned†and found no answer. Thanks ahead if anyone has any input!

Okay, I got it now, thanks! I targeted a Cobra, did a fly by and my medic fired away with the rockets. Pretty quick job IMHO! Now I’m on my way to steal the fuel truck and rescue Lutkin’s comrades!

Thanks for the response. That’s what I was just thinking just now, make a carrier as a static object or as an island if I re-edit the maps or make a new map! I’ll experiment both after I get OFP:R and post pics if I’m almost done unless if Independence Lost is going to be released sometime soon! Â
