[BlessTheMachine]

Hi i was testing this mission that Tom post on this threat on PC and is a good mission, so i decided to convert it to xbox version for xbox players can test it. Thanks Tom for that mission, good Job, now is possible to play it on xbox version.
for xbox users, need to modify the profile to Bomber or change mission profile with elitness program. Is Single player mission.


Edit: attached mission (OFP xbox Airstrike mission.rar) lost in the crash of 2009 - WEK

File: Airstrike(66.88Kb) Version: Final Requires: OFP 1.46 Author: Tom Score: 7 Type: Single Player Addons: None Description: You play as an A-10 pilot who must fly a solo mission to bomb a Russian convoy on Malden. Once the convoy has been destroyed, you must return to base and land.

Reviewer: Blacknite

Overview:
Pretty good picture, needs a shadow behind the border, but overall, not bad.


Intro:
None.


Briefing:
The mission plan, map and objectives are clear and straightforward. Further objectives have been added in nicely, and have been kept well hidden.  Links are all working, including the extra information under the notes section.  However, there is no weapons selection - although why would you need one? You're a pilot!


Mission:
In this mission you have to destroy a Russian convoy with an A-10.  Pretty straightforward you would think, but there is an extra little objective that you must accomplish afterwards.  You will find yourself low on weapons after the convoy, and must face a greater threat as you make your way home.


Outro(s):
None.


Special:
None.


Summary:
There are no sound clips, which would have improved the game style as well as the score, but instead the author used radio messages for the talking.  If you get lost, like me, there are some other "easter eggs" per se, that you would find.  Unfortunately for me, they weren't friendly to my A-10...

Landed home safely, and started partying all night long...  Very well put together mission, highly recommended for those who prefer to strafe their targets with an airplane, and those who like air combat.


Scores
Overview - 8
Briefing - 8
Scripting - 8
Camera - 1
Overall - 7/10

    Tom and Blacknite , yes author used radio messages for the talking bugged me. dont do that again Tom  Briefing was more then the mission, although the mission was good for an A-10 with no addons. the mission is very hard, [ i found anyway] AI was strong and tricky! ,,,
this mission is worth a go as Blacknite said "for air play in ofp"  cheers Schuler
