Thanks!

[Saved games location]

I am running version 1.4.0.0 of Ghost Recon under Windows XP. Anyone know where Ghost Recon saves the current games and missions? I want to be able to back this up "just in case".

I have looked at the obvious files and folders but don't see any that are modified today (which is when I last played and saved the game.)

Thanks.

[Winning GR mission 2]

Anyways.....On all the missions, if you clear out (kill) all the enemies, its automaticly over. I usually take the extra 45-60 minutes to kill all the enemies on the missions before I do the 1st objective, that is unless I have time or something.

Am I missing something? I effectively followed this strategy and then was unable to complete the optional objective since everyone was dead.

I do agree with the approach of killing everyone I meet. Or to quote General Schwartzkof "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."

Can I plant the demo charge and not detonate it under after I have taken the house? Is there a time limit or range to remote detonate the charge?

[Winning GR mission 2]

How do I win mission 2 - Eager Smoke? I am running version 1.4.0.0 under Windows XP.

I rescue the pilot and weapons officer. I then head over to blow the plane. There are two guards by the plane and I kill both of them. As soon as I do, the mission automatically ends and I never get the chance to blow the plane. I keep the pilot and weapons officer with me so they are not close to the extractiion zone (which I assume is by the insertion zone.) This last time, I tried taking the pilot and weapon officer all the way to the left side of the map (with the extraction zone in the upper right of the map), but it didn't help.

Do I have to blow the plane first and then rescue the crew? In real life, this seems counter intuitive since blowing the plane should alert all the bad guys.

It is kind of frustrating that I kill all of the enemies apparently and then with a cleared area, my demo guy can't do his job.

Do I have to send my demo guy in under blazing lead and I doubt he will survive.

[Tactics for GR]

Let me ask another newbie question.

Are there any good on-line tutorials for learning appropriate tactics for GR? I have looked at the web sites for GR that I have come across but I haven't seen too much. The best I have seen is the Basic tactics on this web site and the single player tactics at the GR platoon site. However, I would like to find more detailed discussions.

I am not looking for walkthroughs but rather discussions on how to deplay the teams, coordinate movement, perform recon, etc. I have noticed that there is a "official guide" book for GR available at Amazon but is the book worth it to cover tactics?

Thanks.

[Maintaining visual perspectives]

I just started playing GR and I have a newbie question. I looked in the manual but didn't see anything and did some searches on the forum. I am running GR 1.4.0.0 on Windows XP. I am just starting the single player campaign.

Is there any way to maintain the visual perspective when switching between fireteams? By this, I mean I have my sniper in fireteam C zoomed in on an enemy ready to fire as needed. I then switch to another fireteam to check on their position and adjust slightly if needed to make sure that they are in postion. When I switch back to my sniper in team 3, he is no longer in zoom mode or targeted in on the enemy. Thus I have to reaquire the enemy again.

While this is not a big deal, I just wanted to check with "old pro's" to see if I am missing anything.

Thanks for any assistance.
