Hey guys,

Thought I just share this with you... the Singapore army has adopted a new PC gaming & simulation initiative for trainig which was launched on 21st May '03. As part of the launch, the Army has also adopted Operation FlashPoint as one of the platforms to be used.

Read all about it here... better still, check out the ASF vid file by following the direct link below !!! You can even see screenshots of in-game OFP in this news clip.

Is BIS supporting them, are they using VBS1?

This is very interesting

looks like VBS1. the movement of soldiers near a village is not similar to that of OFP.

however, they still have that "9 o'clock, APC, 500" voice http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

you mean the whole video was about ofp?
i thought the only pictures about ofp were the ones with the tanks in it. don't they use 3 different games and a system developed by the US army?

Hi,

It is still OFP and NOT VBS1 in the video clip you saw and no, the clip doesn't just focus no OFP. It encompasses all 3 different games - "Operation FlashPoint", "Full Spectrum Command" & "Joint Conflict And Tactical Systems" (JCATS).

As for the part where the soldiers are running around, it is the game "Full Spectrum Command", a jointly-developed military game.

You have to figure this one out yourself !!!  See & feel... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wow_o.gif

I'm currently working on new missions for these addons.  As for islands, they are already in the development pipeline. Campaigns will probably come last as I am very busy as it is. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

I am just a little angry that they did not say anything on OFP except the two clips. For a clip to be good it has to mention OFP every 5 seconds. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

actually, the launch was steered more towards 'Full Spectrum Command' as it was a joint collaboration effort... but I can tell you this, during the launch on that day, the OFP exhibits attracted more people.... and I was there !

That's pretty neat.
My family adopted an officer from Singapore's military while he's in the states for combat leadership school (CGSC).
