Hello,
As I try out the AA and first attempt to create a mission. I realise there are some differences in how this is done.
your mission files are no longer saved in OperationFlashPoint/users/yourname/missions
they are now saved in MyDocuments/Arma/missions
also there is no gear selection in the begining?
and the new addition of team switch; does that need a txt file to work?
are briefings and overvievs still done the same way?
Has anybody created a tutorial on creating missions in Arma? and I mean the part after you use the mission editor, the mission editor still works the same way.
thanks

They are indeed saved in the My Documents location.
Gear selection is available by going to group -> click your name. The way you can implement a gear selection is still the same.
You can make the team switch work by adding multiple playable units in the mission editor. In the mission you can then switch player with, I think, U and Y.
Briefings and overviews should work the same way.
What kind of tutorials are you looking for?

I've found that you can't select weapons for your team at the start of a mission if you or they are in a vehicle.
To get around this I've had to break one of the un-written rules by having a short cutscene at the start of the mission proper.
This is basically so that I can have my team at their start point but not in a vehicle. I run the cutscene and after a second I moveincargo them to their vehicles. This way you get to choose their weapons in the briefing screen. Just remember to have a savegame soon after so that players don't have to keep watching the cutscene if they die early.
