12. Can i unpbo the VBS Addons and which program should i use to do it?
Bad News, with the normal OFP Unpbo Programms you can not unpbo the Addons that come with VBS.

13. I want more buildings on my map, what can i do?
There is a small and perfect File that adds a lot of Buildings to the editor. Just copy it in your AddOns Folder. But the best is that you do not need this File to run your Mission. (It is not the typical OFP Editor Upgrade). Just place the buildings as you like, save the mission and everybody can run your mission (if he has the offical TP1 AddOn).

14. What are the class Names of the vehicles in VBS1?
BIA published the following Document which contains all VBS1 Vehicles Class Names.

16. I want use OFP Addons that require Resistance, what can i do?
There is a small and very nice File made by snYpir that adds the references for OFP Resistance. Just copy it in your AddOns Folder. Please note it only prefents the error messages, if the addon needs special resources from OFP Resistance which are not included in VBS it will not work correctly.


17. I want use OFP Addons like M113, Jeep and Jeep with MG, what can i do?
There is a small and very nice File made by SelectThis that adds the references for these OFP Vehicles. Just copy it in your AddOns Folder. Please note it is still Beta.


18. I want to have shader effects (reflecting water, etc.) in VBS, what can i do?
The OFP code wizard Kegety have writen a Postprocessor for OFP and VBS File. Just copy it in your VBS Folder. Please note it is needs a rather strong grafic card and computer depending on your settings.


19. Where can i find the class names for ADF 2?
The Jahve has prepared a word document until the new reference comes out. File.
