Odd thread to resurrect after 3 months.

Sorry Saw no idea, you could try the various forums. Start at http://www.operation-flashpoint.com or http://www.flashpoint1985.com , the BBSs there seems to get the most traffic.

Swoop, what is the latest patch for OPF and where can I get it? When I go to Codemasters downloads page, I get one patch that wont install (because it requires the gold version or something like that)

Hort,

depends which version.

If you have just the original OFP (Euro edition, not US - Euro release was months before US release so we got the buggy v1.0 but US release was v1.20. Nice to get something early for once though.) then you need:

upgrade to v1.20
patch to 1.30
and then finally
patch v1.46

However if you have OFP: Resistance (and if not, why not?) then you just need:

v1.91

Um.....ok, you might need v1.90 1st, I dont remember, but since 1.90 is 13mb and 1.91 is only 10mb you prolly do.

Damn... been out of the OFP loop for quite a while. I'm amazed that Codemasters are still releasing updates for it. I've always liked that publishing company. Damn Euros get something right every now and then.

Is the game much different than the 1.4 days? Or were the patches mostly fixes?

Resistance makes it a whole new game.

Terrain is waaaaaay better than original. You get pistols as a backup weapon, ability to drop weapons, load up transports with extra weapons and ammo, many new official weapons. New addons too, although the latest addon is....well I dont really understand why BIS spent time on it. 2 versions of the Sopwith Camel. ????? Why on earth we needed a WWI fighter in a 1985 combat sim......well I dont know.

Also, some of the new weapon stats seem a little off. For example, you can still kill with a well placed round from an M16A2 in the chest......but the new FN-FAL (7.62mm Belgian built rifle used by the British Army for years before the SA80 came along) takes about 4 or 5 in the chest to kill.

OMG I just tried thet 1944 Campaign, the Thompson has the range of a kitchen knife!

So little Nam missions, I wonder why?

(Except for 10Bear's one... but I still need an extra 512 Mb RAM to be able to launch it, saving it though.)

Steve,
1.85 if you have OFP Euro version. 1.90 if you have resistance (I recommend it)

The full demo of invasion1944 will be out within a few weeks, definately something to look forward to. All their previous units were made with great eye for detail and historical realism.

Check http://www.invasion1944.com, very promising...

I was in middle of writing a Viet Nam Campaign for OFP when the new terrain editor came out so I put that aside.
Had some real cool cut scenes.. 60’s music.. First scene is outside of the barracks at night.. downloaded the Riflemen's Creed from Full Metal Jacket.. The next scene was 3 months later landing at Saigon International airport.. the background music was Beatles “Back to the USSR” it was shaping up..

The missions I shared w/ sqd mates I thought were good but got some feedback from Ranger Bob that kinda got me thinking about the whole thing..

Bob: Are you simulating marching through the jungle for 12 hours at a time?. Mission after mission when you finally find a VC/NVA outlook,.. no bodies home?.. Me: well, um.. no..

Bob: Are you simulating 80% humidity humping 75 pound kits bugs snakes ants.. there’s more diddlying ants in Viet Nam than any place in the world?.. Me:.. I.. ah.. um.. no..

Bob: When you DO finally make contact with the enemy, around chapter 10, does the radio go nuts? Is the squad leader shot dead in mid sentence? Is there mass confusion.. Can you hear the VC leader shouting orders in Vietnamese less than 10 meters away?.. Is the radio man wounded and screaming his bloody head off and won’t stop... he won’t stop!. compromising your units position?.. Do you have to call in a dust off medivac chopper every 10 minutes and have an open field for him to land?.. Tell me, in your simulation, does your M16A2 have a tendency to jam?.. sometimes the cartridge simply falls out? Finally, are you trying to glamorize the Viet Nam war?

Me: Ah Jeese Bob... that sounds a little bit too heavy..
Bob: It WAS heavy..

Well..... that kind of put an end to the Viet Nam project...
God Bless America and God Bless Ranger Bob..
