    Flashpoint

    Just some notes on the mission Flashpoint.

    I was told people die if they use (anyone use?) the fast-rope ability and thus we bailed from the helos using parachutes instead.

    And secondly the helicopters were just circling overhead and making lots of noise until they were finally shot down. I dunno if they had any door gunners or anything because I didn't see them shoot one single time. Maybe just a combat mode and a move order that didn't work as intended?

    Ohhh! Great! Looking forward to trying the updated version (with less volatile tactics this time! Can't recall who was leading last I played, but it was a bit suicidal ^^ )

    Nice work on this! Only got to play a bit briefly by myself late one nite. Anyways an future plans of creating/converting OFP(SP/mp) missions? Say for instance take the sp mission Battlefields an turn it into a mp coop? Kinda an old wish/dream to see some of the old OFP missions converted to MP without having to wait an see if CWR'd makes it to ArmA2.

    Did u make/convert this from OFP Campaign or did u just wing it? You hit a funny nerve with me on this as it's a dream(sort've) to see OFP campaign missions coverted to mp missions for A2! Been messing around with the mission "Promotion" also lookinf for the one in Red hammer where u take control of a squad as a Russian an clear the rebel meeting then, a town, then finally assault the airport. Trying to get em editable with pboview but runnin into a brick wall. Think maybe has to do with the addons an such not readable/compatible from OFP to A2.

    Re: Flashpoint

    I opened
    Code:
    mission.sqm
    from Operation Flashpoint mission. I changed all the units to U.S / Russian. Then I opened it in the editor and deleted/added some units/objects/few other things. In conclusion, we get first mission from OFP Campaign, but little changed, so its harder to finish it.
