Im having a few problems with this GREAT mission. I was wondering if there was a tutorial around?

I'd have to dig up that mission to refresh my memory, but what I understand is that you can get reinforcements so to speak, if you lose your gunship or other helos, you can get them from this hardware menu. The helos/vehicles appear in the airstrip due east from the main base.Popa wrote:Like the 'special' menu, u can order hardware n stuff.
There is no solution for that, I'd suggest you dont try to fly them in formation as it never works in OFP. Or do you mean the Helo LZ commands from special menu, does these cause crashes?And also tryin to get heli's to fly in formation so they dont crash into each other.
Thats gives me the impression that they can fly in formation but i dont know how to do it???Since version 1.2, helicopters of a group are additionally staggered vertically with a height interval of 5 meters to
reduce the chance of them crashing into each other. Shown here is the minimal height.
No. You need to use the Special -> Airmobile Ops -> Helo LZ. That command makes the one helicopter to fly into the clicked map coordinates and drop off all cargo, then return to base and land. It works very well.Popa wrote:i gave the helo's WP's to the clearing and to RTB. i gave the 3 squads to assault in all directions and move on to different WP's.
It never worked, the helo's stopped 100feet above the clearing and the squads jumped out, no parachutes. Then the helo's RTB'd and 2 crashed into each other when they tried to land!!
I would say that I'm the greatest fan of CoC CE and I have never used to fly two helicopters in one group, never. OFP just doesn't do that right. (oops, I think PMC NAM SEAL campaign has Gunship + OH6 setup, hmm anyways).Thats gives me the impression that they can fly in formation but i dont know how to do it???
If I can recall, the airmobile LZ is for ALL tranport helos to fly into that one point and unload cargo (do not use, a big crashing helo producer script).Popa wrote:There is airmobile LZ, aircrew 1-5 LZ and extract crew LZ. What does each one do?
I think you need to have some of those reinforce "points" or what ever they are. By the time you NEED a new hardware, you should have those points already.i asked for a heli and crew. I clicked on the airstrip+help shift but i never got the hardware. What am i doing wrong?
Whats the problem?Cannot load '*my user name*\saved\missions\vte_spmissions\tourofduty_vte.sebiadrang\continue.fps'. Error 'no entry' at /gamestate/variables/item5/data.value'.
Its the OFP savegame bug, nothing you can do about it. You can try that when you want to stop playing, hit ESC, then click ABORT. Now you get to OFP menu and you can quit OFP etc. When you want to continue playing, just select the mission again and choose Continue. It might work like that but I'm not sure.Popa wrote:The error reads:Whats the problem?Code: Select all

Basically that error is the OFP savegame bug and BIS never fixed it.
There is no fix for OFP savegame bug. You just have to complete the mission on one try or restart from the start.Popa wrote:that didnt work, is there any fix out there for this?
