Grrrr... this is so annoying.
I like to play SP Mission #4, where you fly the AH-1 and attack a convoy. I try to fly as flawless a mission as possible, staying low and sustaining little or no damage, and earlier today while testing V1.08 I wiped out the convoy, destroyed targets of opportunity, and didn't take any hits.
I was on my way back to the base, just above the water and well out to sea to avoid AA fire from a Shilka I knew was lurking in a canyon near the coast. Then I got a radio message telling me that I appear lost, and seconds later the screen fades to black and the mission ends in failure!
One of the things I've always enjoyed about OFP and now ArmA is the freedom to choose how to get a particular task done. Having mission termination triggers like this one in place really kills the experience -- please don't assume that I'm a complete idiot who can't navigate (especially when the next waypoint is indicated). I hope BIS will consider the removal of these triggers, or at least make them less strict.
