What is TOP1
TOP
1's ambition is to bring Operation Flashpoint closer to more developed and technically advanced products such as
VBS1™ or so far unreleased
Armed Assualt where we can only speculate about the final result. The aim of this project is to make player think in a tactical manner on the virtual battlefield. Many various features help him in it. The whole system runs on a modification of the executable
FWatch file by Kegetys which allows to record player's course through the mission for further usage. Before mission, the player himself can set up lot of adjustable items, beginning with the weather and daytime, through starting position, ending with the role he will play in the operation itself.
The real battlefield illusion is amplified by the lack of saving and loading of positions that force player to think of his advance forward and not to tear into the enemy area in a shortest possible direction. The basic missions are optimized in a way, so they are not just playable in those conditions but also possible to finish them successfully. Various situations are simulated, such as simple one team operation, rescue mission deep in the enemy territory or combined offense with infantry, armoured and air forces.
System creates review file for evaluation and analysis of whole operation. It can be played on
OPERA1 (OPERation Analysis) addon module, which is availible to download separately. Now you can see yours or your friends mistakes or brilliant actions. Review files can be shared via this site in
sharing section. Chance to view position and behaviour of all units in mission is also useful for mission creators.
TOP1 system is fully compatible with
Enhanced Config Project (ECP),
Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) or
Czechoslovak People Army II (CSLA II).
