Looks like a great addition - thanks Hey Miles - did you see my question to you in the troubleshooting forum? Cheers - cornhelium

Hi Miles, Did you ever get your freezing problem with Sebnambpack2 sorted out? I've got exactly the same problem and have tried every BIOS/hardware setting I can find, but still get these freezes on Sebnampack. Here's my system: XP2100+ 2x256mb Crucial RAM Asus A7M266 BIOS 1008-2B (tried PCI latencies from 0 to 128) On IRQ9 GeForce ti4600. detonator 41.09 (tried AGP2x, fast writes disabled, 64mb AGP aperture - no difference) On IRQ5 Soundblaster Live! Audigy2. (Recently upgraded from SBLive5.1 thinking I might solve the problem with 64 3D hardware voices, but no change. Also tried TB Santa Cruz same probs) Windows ME 3dmark2001 10,600 @1024x768x32 default Flashprefs: 1280 x 960 x 32 All lights All textures at 4096 - didn't see any difference in performance or appearance when decreasing them Auto drop down 4x Max objects 256 Objects LOD 0.0016 Shadows LOD 1.000 (never used them) In Game: W-buffer disabled Multitexturing enabled Visual quality max Framerate max Viewdistance 1500m EAX disabled (caused crashes when Resistance came out) Hardware sound acceleration Enabled I was going to try reducing the settings, but if you've still had no luck I won't try as I don't want to risk my hard disk with too many more OFP freezes (had about 100 so far). If you could let me know how you got on I'd be really grateful. Cheers - cornhelium Ps. Nampack2 still rules

Hi - thanks for this great resource. Can anyone use their interpreting skills on my Flashpoint.rpt file please? You'll see the included crashes are all for Airstrike for Sebnampack2 by Devilsguard (part of his 30 mission pack for Nam), but the game can crash in any mission where things get busy (the best parts!). Other hardware intensive games run fine (Unreal2 runs great apart from known bugs). 3DMark 2001SE default score 10,545. What happens is that the game freezes solid, with sounds looping infinitely (breathing/machine guns/whizzing bullets/vehicles especially helicopters). It's a bit like dreaming about Madeline Stowe then being woken up by your neighbour's FUBARed car alarm just as things get interesting!  :( I have an Asus A7M266 (AMD761 Northbridge and Via 686B Southbridge) with the latest BIOS and the relevant AMD AGP and Via 4in1 patches, XP2100+, 512mb Crucial RAM, GF4 ti4600 with Detonator 41.09, SBLive 5.1 Platinum. I've decided to try a TB Santa Cruz (in the UK AKA Videologic Sonc Fury) as they're cheap now and I've heard no complaints about them. OS is WinME. My gut feeling is that the SBLive needs new drivers, but 95/98/ME support has dried up. I'm running with the SBLive alone on IRQ5 with SB16 Emulation disabled, GF4 on IRQ9, and have also disabled both com ports, one USB root hub, my TV tuner card and the Floppy controller - the PCI bus looks seriously trimmed down and this helps, but I still crash. Here's a quick rundown of the things I've tried (X marks a percieved improvement in time before the game crashes): Disabled EAX with just hardware acceleration(XX Big help); Turned hardware sound acceleration down via Control Panel(X, but  game chugs); Tried the DirectX sound debug fix; Tried unofficial drivers and A3d drivers; Tried PCI Latency timer settings 0, 16,32,40,48,64,128(X); Enabled delayed transactions(X); Now using OFP Addon manager; Set my VIO jumper to 3.45v(can now set AGP Drive Strength to AUTO as recommended without video corruptions); Ensured onboard audio and LAN is disabled by jumper as well as in BIOS; AGP aperture set to 64mb, 128mb(X); light overclock to 135mhz FSB as suggested for stability.

1. Improved Aircraft/Chopper AI in particular the ability to consistently make choppers/tanks follow waypoints to within one metre. It'd be great to make flashy stuff like Littlebird rooftop insertions and street Medevac possible.

Hi - great work! Excuse my ignorance, but could the engine units be set so they rotate with the raise/lower flaps command? Don't know if this would work and whether it would be at all functional or just cosmetic, but just a suggestion. Looks great anyway xmas:
