Also, battle ambience noices are a must have. The ones that come with the game suck, but AGS included on in their pack that was loud, with lots of gunfire, explosions and men screaming etc. Perfect for any beach landing mission, because it makes it seem so much bigger. :gunman:
Also, when Dmakatra said about the huey flying over, that really does work.
Try this.
Once you have your basic beach landing, make a AH-1 have no ammo, and setcaptive it. Now have it flying longways across the beach in front of you, around your back, and then across the beach again using cycle waypoints. Make it fly a a lowish altitude, like 20 or 30 (BTW, heuys would work much better for this ;D )
Then, when the mission reaches a climax, like the retreat order is given, have the chopper
setfuel 0; setdamage 0.9 in front of you, and watch it crash nicely onto the beach ;D
