I've played the mission a number of times always on Regular and once I've seen the guy by the helicopter fall over and lie on the deck

I found the first Developer's Diary on the basic controls very useful. When are the others coming?

Don't know about the setting of waypoints but with regards to the helicopter; If you've summoned it key predd 0 8 1), when you climb on board the pilot will ask you where you want to go. Just open up the map and left click on the desired location. If you're already en route press 0 8 1 and again the pilot will ask where you want to go. Incidentally I find that I can't alter the scale of the map when I open it once in the helicopter so I make sure it is at the right scale before I climb on board.

I notice on the web site that there is going to be a series of Developer Diaries walking through various command issues. The first one on basic commands I found very useful but where are the others? That one was posted on 1 July. Can't we have them all now? At this rate I'll be playing Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising long before I've grasped the ability to control my squad!

When I read the previews of Arma 2 and Dragon Rising it was the latter that excited me. I wonder if BI brought the release date forward so there would be no competition? Like everyone I am frustrated by the game and the comments - I'm only on the second mission and it looks like there's little point in continuing and I don't think I've actually shot anyone yet (my squad seem to identify and dispatch them before I even see where they are). However all that said I do have a game to noodle around with whilst waiting for Dragon Rising and I guess that's better than nothing!

Many thanks.

I appear to only be allowed one player save at a time. ie if I wish to save I have to overwrite the previous one. Is this correct or am I missing something? Thanks
