I'm fairly new to ARMA but I've created a mission in the single player scenario tab using the mission wizard. I then copied that mission file to the multiplayer mission folder however when I play it with my friend over LAN one of us spawns on the ground alive while the rest of us fall from the helicopter to our instant deaths.

Basically I just want to be able to play Secops over LAN with my friend.

Just to be clear: Secops means custom scenarios? – fbueckert Mar 7 at 23:33
Yeah (stands for secondary operations) basically you spawn and then HQ give you random tasks and enemies and things randomly spawn rather than a set mission. – Karl Daniel Mar 7 at 23:43

I believe I found a solution to my problem although its more of a hacky work around however at least it works...

Basically you host the LAN game as you would usually but only with the hist in game and then once you've landed the other players then join and take over the AI or empty player slots.

Voila!

Like I said this method isn't exactly perfect but it gets the job done. If anyone else has any other methods or indeed better ones then please say!
