Looks like you're running a replacement mod? Try disabling it for this mission. It may be interfering with some of the scripts in the mission.
The problem was around before I even knew of the ability to mod ArmA, so not an issue. I've literally just reverted the level and alt-tabbed to check this topic, to find a cheat enabling me to skip the level?! Well... I'm not spending another month or two at a bend in the road trying not to be killed by an APC within the first 10 seconds of loading the game...
Will google that cheat now!
EDIT:
Looked up the cheat... Press shift and num pad is ok if you have a keyboard - but what is the num pad key on a laptop? Toshiba A200-1BW
My laptop does have a number keypad, on the letters MJKLUIOP789, and I have to press FN & F11 to enable it, but as neither of those keys are numpad, this is making life difficult. Any way I can trick ArmA into thinking one of my keys is numpad?
