Great mission, feels very real. Not to difficult. Just perfect.

The scenario is very nice... but I would totally discard that cinematic intro at the beginning. The helicopters are bugs, camera also ... I had to reset the scenario a dozen times at the beginning to get it to work at all.

that or Simple Cheat Menu Mod, you can be the zeus and do the same, unfortunately this happens due to several arma and/or mod updates since the mission maker made the mission which might break things

for anyone having trouble with this mission, or any mission for that matter I would highly recommend the Zeus Enhanced mod as well as Echo's Sandbox Everywhere (you need ESE to activate zeus in any mission). they will give you a lot of tools to help fix various issues in missions as I described in my below comment

and I believe it was what? 3 squads of men with 10 in each squad? imagine playing this with 30 humans? nuts! add an option for no respawns, everyone gets 1 life, better make it count!

I had issues with the cut scenes like others but no big deal. Bravo team never got out of the chopper and just sat inside, alpha squad did get out along with my squad however they just stand at the LZ and don't proceed to their waypoints, but I fixed both of these issues with ZEN+ESE. its a cool little mission. it was annoying having to command 3 squads of guys (I used zeus to link all the soldiers to my squad since they refused to follow way points) but we got it done. I like the atmosphere of this mission, also the map location and time of day. It was a decent little run through the jungle. would love to see a co-op version where all the squad members could be playable. that would be a great mission for clans how have lots of people.

ty, plz a mission where u play as the PAVN/VC would be dope

Very good mission, please make more!

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I have no way of updating the scenario now.

I can appreciate the idea but, cant get past the cinematics. camera is rarely focused on the helicopters and usually on the ground. every time the cchopper finally lands my crew gets out during the cut scene but I cant exit the bird until the cinematics end and by then im too far off the ground to safely get out. cant rate the mission due to this issue.

My guess is that the helicopter or something flew into a tree and the soldiers started the whole KIA then then started bleeding out. The helicopter was still in the air but not during the last few cut scenes (minus the very last I think).
I had maybe 10-8 seconds bleeding out when I finally got to first person but it was too late anyway.
kfclover  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 4:25am 
that's wild. How did it even happen? did it crash?
Stalin's big spoon 6 Dec, 2023 @ 11:57pm 
Everyone on the helicopter died while the cinematics were going. Only had like 5 seconds before I bled out after the cut scene ended.

Nice mission. There were very many enemies to kill, butt mission finished :steamhappy:

Grinch. same dude really sucks. looked so cool
Grinch 10 Sep, 2023 @ 3:12pm 
Every time i try this mission it reports me KIA before the cenematics even end. Any ideas? Please help.

@kfcclover: You can unbin mission files from steam. When you play it and save, you will find the mission.pbo in documents under steamsaved folder. From there you need the Arma 3 tools - Unbin tool.

Excellent mission, really enjoyed this one. Great game-play, decent cinematics, and a solid overall execution. Cheers for developing and releasing it.
Johnnyboy 19 Jul, 2023 @ 8:15am 
This excellent mission now works with latest version of SOG AI. After beautiful heli insertion cinematic, player exits heli and will command AI team with SOG AI. See the SOG AI mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812560646
kfclover  [author] 8 Jul, 2023 @ 10:21pm 
i tried but it doesnt work
Johnnyboy 8 Jul, 2023 @ 11:17am 
Oh no. You can't UNPBO the steam version?
kfclover  [author] 8 Jul, 2023 @ 8:32am 
bad news is i can't update the mission anymore, my old drive sort of got wiped because i bought a new PC.
Johnnyboy 8 Jul, 2023 @ 8:10am 
SOG AI was working with this excellent mission, but now its not. I will have to investigate. What happens is player and most of team remains on insert heli and it takes off with most of team still on board before cutscene ends and player has control.

Sad :steamsad:
kfclover  [author] 4 Jul, 2023 @ 6:57pm 
You can't, literally everything is from the DLC, even the modules.
Mitchel 4 Jul, 2023 @ 2:03pm 
Can you play it without the DLC ? :melon:
kfclover  [author] 30 Jun, 2023 @ 6:26pm 
SOG AI's author said he modified the mod to make it work with this mission, but i don't really know, maybe you can ask him
lem0nium 30 Jun, 2023 @ 7:59am 
Nice mission, seems SOG AI doesn't work with it unfortunately.
kfclover  [author] 28 Jun, 2023 @ 3:27pm 
Weird.. Try running without any mods and it stays like that
BATJA 28 Jun, 2023 @ 9:17am 
i press play and nothing happens???!!!

Great Mission

Thanks Jeza!

One of the best scenario ive played, also giving facts fucking respect it :AceofSpades:
Nacjo_Farmer 22 Jun, 2023 @ 4:52am 
Maybe heli pilot spot dangerous and fly away. AI sometimes doing weird things. After all, great mission!
kfclover  [author] 22 Jun, 2023 @ 3:12am 
also, the PAVN talking is just part of the dlc, there is a module to disable it but i figured the addition adds to the "immersion"
kfclover  [author] 22 Jun, 2023 @ 2:58am 
thanks for all of that feedback, regarding to the heli in the ending, i swear i set it so it wont get damaged at all, but i might've forgot about it.

UPDATE: Second time around I was able to make it to the LZ no problem. Only difference I noticed this time was that each geometry in the cutscene was rendering in faster. I suspect, the unitPlay broke down a bit while also trying to render in the first go around.

As for the mission I thought it was really well done! Barely had to use the radio support module but that's a preference of mine. I was able to avoid some ambushes by staying off the main road. Or in 1 situation, I could hear the enemy talking before I arrived. Might be something you keep in mind if its intended to be a surprise.

bugs I saw.

- Huey at the end of the mission blew up upon landing. Don't know if that was intended or not. Didn't seem to hit hard so not sure. Enemy fire may have destroyed it.

- Small Type. you put "Most Bloodiest" at the end. That's redundant, can def stick with bloodiest.

Overall I really enjoyed it! Well done, I know how much effort it takes to do those scenes!
PUDDY300 21 Jun, 2023 @ 8:18pm 
Just tried my first play through, no mods, also had my whole chopper killed. Must have been a collision somewhere that did it.

My recommendation is to maybe set every soldier in those helicopters as invincible until the landing happens and they can dismount. The helis are in an extremely tight formation and unitCapture is great for that, but its not perfect.
kfclover  [author] 21 Jun, 2023 @ 8:05pm 
i've done a ton of playtests and sometimes mods or your system can really fuck up the opening cutscene so maybe calm down with the mods a little
BlackKnight 21 Jun, 2023 @ 4:44pm 
i think i had the same problem with the helicopter too, all soldiers on 2nd helicopter are all dead since the first scene of cutscene. Then the next scene, i saw the helis fly low along the trail and it hit the ground, then I was announced dead LUL. I try to unload the mod Zeus Enhanced and it happens no more, but sometimes the camera angles are stupid
_mickey_ 21 Jun, 2023 @ 12:39pm 
Unplayable. when starting the mission, the player's team starts to die, without visible reasons, on a black screen backgound. (AI reports this) After this, the black screen disappears, a message appears that the player will bleed out in X seconds...
AMajesticTaco 20 Jun, 2023 @ 9:30pm 
you might have some ai mods that are effecting the flight pathing
kfclover  [author] 20 Jun, 2023 @ 8:29pm 
how can that happen? the chopper's flight path will ALWAYS be the same because i used unitcapture, maybe try restarting the scenario.
Charlie 20 Jun, 2023 @ 8:25pm 
game stuck at the beginning in the air, the chopper will not land
kfclover  [author] 20 Jun, 2023 @ 7:52pm 
weird, the heli always kicks you out when its your turn
Nacjo_Farmer 20 Jun, 2023 @ 10:51am 
Great mission but to play, I was need restart few times because heli wasn't out me before cutscene end and fly away with me. But everything else are cool :steamthumbsup:
mevadralik 20 Jun, 2023 @ 12:34am 
this is so good mission bruh
Skee 11B/CIB 19 Jun, 2023 @ 6:35pm 
phenomenal mission
kfclover  [author] 18 Jun, 2023 @ 9:52pm 
okay so i've updated the mission so that the player will become SL when the helicopter touches down, so some of you who had issues you can now replay the scenario, thanks.
