...6-8 hours of mission with save, dying and recovering game progress and in the end nothing. The truth is a losing fight with these ArmA mission editors! Poor SP mode players like me... how desperate! :steambored:

....Well, I'm going to let you know that concentrated explosive charges are not found and are not available from the beginning of the mission (they are used to destroy tanks or armored vehicles). I only realized that a companion had 4 normal explosive charges so there was no way I had to approach the tanks and place 2 charges for each one. And what do you think happened?! Nothing obviously because the charges are not suitable for removing them. I finally aborted the mission because the exfil task doesn't activate if you don't destroy the 2 AA tanks first. :steamfacepalm:

...Your mission design is very unfair from the player's point of view. Players! The Pandora device is located in one of the 2 industrial buildings north east inside the city (you can open the ArmA editor and point to the device object and go to its location on the map). But what do you think! Once you find the device you have 2 options: 1) deactivate it manually (it doesn't work and the mission leaves you waiting forever); 2) you can destroy it by communicating the coordinates to the UAV (it works but it will not destroy it and the command center tells you to go to the exfiltration area but first you must destroy 2 AA tanks)...

Holy shit that was awesome! I can't wait to play the next one :D thanks a lot for this fantastic mission.

Great Mission ! Now I am ready to play 2nd mission. :)
Thanks!

Great work! But really hard as Singleplayer. Team Switch is not to use, cause the AI is doing strange things ;) At the end it is frustrating cause there is no way for me to eliminate the hostile helicopter. So... I'll not see the end...
EMSI  [author] 24 Nov, 2015 @ 1:20am 
Look for a more buildings :) Is there somewhere.

Great scenario!
However I am experiencing hard time locating Pandora. I have eliminated most enemies, and cleared most buildings, and not found Pandora yet. What does it look like, and how can I find it?
Nimb3x 19 Nov, 2015 @ 11:55am 
I have no idea how I should eliminate the ifrit of the convoi, or the tanks??? Mines are placed, but the ifrit still kills all of my mates.
EMSI  [author] 14 Nov, 2015 @ 11:51pm 
This is a known bug of engine for teamswitch feature. We learned to live with that :)

It is impossible to use the team switch once your close to the AO, beacause then the AI teamleader will start engaging, issue board vheicle commands, start shooting when I have set the team to 'hold fire', and other silly stuff that get the team killed. He constantly sends nr 4(I choose help from FIA) away to board the Zodiac in the starting area, 2 Km away.

You should put the exposives and other usefull items in the back pack of the AI soldiers and not on the vest, that way we can access it without using team switch(then all the above happens).

I had to reload mission, team switch to demolition guy at the starting area to dump the explosives, pick them up and carry it to the AO,so I could set them up properly for the Convoy.

Otherwise nice mission.

Really nice mission! I just played the latest version and it went very smoothly. You did a great job of scripting this mission...I look forward the next installment in the series! Thanks for sharing this!
EMSI  [author] 2 Mar, 2015 @ 4:40am 
In upcoming update will be this slightly modified. Anyway, it's challenge - you need to know how to fly. :)

Great mission. I like Zaros part especially, but I can't get trough helicopter part, Ghosthawk is flying too fast so I can't reach and protect him.
EMSI  [author] 24 Feb, 2015 @ 10:43am 
Thanks. Campaign is not in my plans yet.
inlesco 24 Feb, 2015 @ 4:19am 
Nice mission! Loving the small details! Are you going to release a campaign sometime soon, EMSI? ;)
