Nope, I used a template I found at the official page.

Its a known problem.  Flashpoint doesnt like briefings that run over a page and a half.  There is a solution, but I dont know it.  What I do is have multiple pages, giving a brief description of the mission on the plan section, then links to pages with more infomation.

I know what you mean but what I posted, that text, is just the Situation. IF I link it from the main plan screen, it will fail as it does there, because the lenght of the text is the same. Any idea to fix this?

its a generic problem and it wont go away - BIS seem reluctant to look into the problem...

so, the best option (well in my opinion) is to make your own second page...

basically 'measure' how much room your objectives need on the first page and then type as much as u can above it...

then give a link to a new page using:

<a href="#page2">PAGE 2.</a>

and then to make that work add this to the brifing anywhere u want...

<hr>
<h2><a name="page2"></a></h2>
<h4>
<br>

BLA BLA BLA

<a href="#plan">PAGE 1</a>.</h4>


i basically write this before the debrief text - that means u dont need to close the html for that part of the briefing, since the debfief will do it for u.

hope that helps.
