Note that the following items are startup parameters for use only with the original Operation Flashpoint game series for the PC. These parameters can be configured by creating a new shortcut on your desktop and then adding the appropriate option.

Example

"C:\...\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE" -nomap -nosplash -mod=@winter

Available parameters

Display Options

-window Displays Arma windowed instead of full screen. Screen resolution / window size are set in arma3.cfg.
-x=<Integer> Numeric, used to set resolution width.
-y=<Integer> Numeric, used to set resolution height
-window Displays Operation Flashpoint windowed instead of fullscreen
-benchmark Intended for automated benchmarking, but was never finished and is not working. It can be launched via a manual trick.

Modifications

-mod Allows you to subdivide your addons into different folders, folder names seperated by semi-colons. See Arma: Mod Folders for more information.
