 +Please note that this guide was started with ArmA O2, then it was finished with ArmA 2 O2, there might be subtle differences, but essentially they are the same program.
  
 This is small kind of miscellaneous user guide covering all kinds of areas of O2. This is small kind of miscellaneous user guide covering all kinds of areas of O2.

 It is BIS released O2 release candidate 1 or 2, cannot remember, or one users (forgot his name) patched O2 (still release candidate, 2 we recall) which allows you to export and import those different model formats like 3DS Max and naturally the old OFP P3D format. It is BIS released O2 release candidate 1 or 2, cannot remember, or one users (forgot his name) patched O2 (still release candidate, 2 we recall) which allows you to export and import those different model formats like 3DS Max and naturally the old OFP P3D format.

 +Basically if you want to save ArmA P3D to be opened in OFP O2, then you use export versions save to old p3d format feature. Of course there are items in the ArmA MLOD format which aren't working in OFP MLOD, but that's another topic.
  
 Here is the executable only download of this export version. Use it along side with your already installed (you have to have it installed!) final release of BIS tools/o2. Keep it renamed something like in this archive, so you can run this separately from the final version of O2. Here is the executable only download of this export version.
