    I don't believe so but anyways it would ruin the fun. There is enough money to buy a medium helicopter from the missions and if you want another heavy why not replay the private contracts? There is also a taxi service add on which has been mentioned in the forums. I haven't personally tried it but they say it is quite good.

    Now this is quite important, has any other game reported this error before?

    And also some times computers need a defragment or else they tend to "miss" data. Have you defragmented your computer lately?

    Also another thing is the driver. Many games, especially old ones, tend to need to be installed on the windows driver which is normally C. This is not normal these days but maybe GameStop has such a requirement. I have no knowledge about this site but since you have downloaded the game maybe it needs to be installed on C.

    Last but not least, is there any auto update provided by the aforementioned site?

    To start with I would like to warn you, I hope early enough, not to start any missions on your game if you don't apply all of the patches. If you act likewise then you will end up hitting your head on the wall, as I did and it still hurts...

    The problem is that all saved progress will be useless due to the update. It will say saved game not compatible with game version.

    Now in order for me to check your problem I would like you to inform me, if you have downloaded or purchased the game in a CD form. Sadly there are quite a few problems in this download kind of situation.

    Moreover you could try using the patch 1.01 to 1.06 straight through in order to check if it would work.

    Hope that this works so as for you to start playing this fantastic game.

    Nice joystick and great PC. I am sure you will have a fantastic experience with this perfect one of a kind simulator.

    And also please don't forget, if it pleases you and as long as you are well experienced, to go online and participate in the extra challenging multiplayer missions......

    And also to remind ourselves of operation Bullseye where you are forced to fight on foot. And also there is a multiplayer convoy mission where I was personally shot down, but managed through auto-rotation to land safely, and started fighting on foot while waiting for extraction from the other players.

    Sadly although I managed to fight off the enemy soldiers the evac plan never occurred because the other players were too busy following the rest of the surviving convoy:confused:

    Were did leave no man behind go?:confused:

    And also if Seattle was made for military foot operations then it would really be a huge plus since so many more could be organized.

    Well that's one home-adjusted throttle. :cool:

    This sticks are usually stiff so as to simulate throttle in airplanes. They are not designed to be used on helicopters. But on the other hand there is sadly no helicopter designed joystick out in the market. It would really be great to have a throttle specifically for helicopters and if needed why not adjust the throttle and the joystick to a chair of some sort so as to have the joystick between your legs just like in real helicopters. It would really be a unique product.

    I mean how difficult can it be? Why has no company made such a thing?

    What I would like to report is that one time the evac chopper did indeed land in the water in this mission. It was really crazy and I was like "what?" but that wasn't the only problem. I had reached that point after killing at least a dozen OPFOR's by taking the AK-47's from the dead enemy soldiers. The initial ammo had depleted. And although the enemies that I had managed to eliminate there were more coming.

    So I thought OK I will just go towards the river and they will be forced to find another route in order to catch me. But those guys had no problem literally walking on water!?!? I thought that I could, OK it is a bug that helped me reach the chopper, but come on......

    I started walking and shooting at the same time and it was really exciting with the adrenaline, the bullets, the shells from my weapon and all but it would be a lot more sensible if something similar would happen on land?!?!

    Many thanks for the editing guide. I will make sure that I will spend some serious time on this one. Although I don't think that I will be able to work things out, I will however try.:D

    Also, is anybody aware of any already existing missions, except convoy attack and operation pegasus, that will offer some fun time of game-play? I would really appreciate it since I am constantly looking for more multiplayer missions that would attract more players going online.

    I wanted to make a cops vs robbers style game-play mission, but again my imagination far exceeds my creation abilities.

    That is the problem I believe with all the guys that really want to make something more out of this game. I have searched and I have dramatically not found anything witch can help me to start editing missions in TOH....

    Just one video of how to make a sling loading mission. And the irony is that I kind of dislike these kind of missions.

    And another point. Why aren't the Bohemia Interactive programmers enhancing this game with more missions? Something like a patch whatsoever. There are so many possibilities, so many challenges that can arise. I mean it can't be simple but you cannot leave a game without enhancements. In the forum itself there are so many suggestions.

    P.S. If there is another way of learning this kind of mission editing please inform me.

    Hi again,

    I can do nothing more than disagree with the later statement. I have bought the CD, played the career twice and had no problems at all. Everything was smooth and without bugs.

    Also the antenna mission is not mandatory so you can always skip it although that now you have started it I don't think that you can.

    Last but not least, do the difficulties occur when you try to attach the antenna on the tower?

    Maybe the altitude should be adjusted or maybe you must go a bit left or right. Are you perfectly sure that you are in the right position?

    I mean a meter or so could make the difference. I personally tried many times before succeeding even with auto-hover, couldn't possibly leave it aside the first time......

    I am really not sure and I have tried locating this particular mission's data or script but no luck there. Have you got any idea where these files are?

    Maybe I could send you my mission's files so as to solve your problem.... I have got windows 7 professional.( so as to check the compatibility)....

    A brilliant idea if you ask me and why not use a winch system to save other players? And if things go further we will be able to have cops and robbers missions, which off-course will not be planned.

    But there are a few slight problems sadly.

    For instance there are not so many players online. My high score is 5 people being online together and that was just once.

    In general and even when I start a server of my own I have to be extremely lucky to have one player besides me. A very sad fact.

    And it gets worse. I don't know why but it is a miracle if your fellow players actually know how to fly!?!? Most of them don't even know how to put into practice the start-up procedure.........????......

    I can not say that I am an expert in these things but how about the airspeed that is provided by the weather conditions or even the airspeed caused by the helicopter falling.

    The later is clearly significant 40 meters per second, I believe.

    Can't these forces play any role in the helicopter's re-stabilization?

    The truth be told people who have downloaded the game from Steam have had some other issues as well even before installing the game.

    Also the Hinds version, since you can only download it from steam, has had issues with the registration keys.

    I would advise you to download some missions and go online but although the challenges of those missions there are not many players going online.

    It could however give you something to play with even in single player till you manage to solve your problem.

    My suggestion, Convoy Attack mission.

    Also another piece of advise would be to write an email to Bohemia Interactive itself. Logically, if things can not be fixed, you deserve a refund of some kind.

    Or if you want me to tell you how many missions are left I would gladly do so. I don't right now because it will be a spoiler.

    In that case I just hope that you have already played the career once and so you can always play the rest of the missions.

    But on the other hand try repairing the game through the setup.exe in your CD. (make a copy of your saved games just in case...)

    Or a question. Have you got the CD inserted in a CD-driver in your computer when you play?

    I am asking because I can play without the CD but after a few months it started saying, once you open the game on the right of the options columns, that I have to try the trailer and something about a demo and it was giving me a link about how to purchase the game. That was kind of strange.... Well I inserted the CD and after I restarted the game things got back to normal gladly. And after that I stopped inserting the CD every time I played again. That saves me a lot of time.

    Nicely played. Things are more clear now. A couple of questions though.

    Have you tried playing the mission in rookie difficulty?

    Have you used auto-hover?

    When does it report that the container is too damaged? Immediately when you hook it to your sling?

    Have you tried slowly adjusting the throttle?

    Have you updated your game with the patches?

    Are you sure you are trying to pick the right container? (just minor humor)

    Looking forward for your answers.....

    A very good idea indeed. It would be very suitable for many missions. For example police multiplayer missions like playing cops and robbers. The problem is that although our suggestions nothing seems to happen. Nobody does anything. This game has got many potentials but it is cut off. I hope that maybe something will eventually take place and somebody capable of doing these kind of things will finally be interested.

    Best Luck!

    P.S. I know that this thread is possibly too old but I have just noticed it. Hope it will have a "resurrection" of some sort.
