PMC First Fight; Did find a bug this time ...

Snake, I ran into a problem that I've never had before in the years I've used OFP and now AA. It started the second time I ran the campaign in the mission where the 2 humvees have to take out a group of the enemy. I had switched to the driver position and when I tried to drive the humvee, it would not go forward. I would kind of back up and turn backwards, but no forward progress. If I put another driver in, everything worked ok.
Later, I was in a following mission and had to take a boat to another island. Same thing. I could not get the boat to go forward. I had to get another driver and, since there are no waypoints, had to guide him with the arrow keys to get to the island. Yes, I checked and rechecked my keyboard configuration and nothing had changed. I have not tried any missions in AA since this started, so I don't know if it's an AA flaw or something I did wrong in the First Fight missions. By the way, I also had problems later on with driving a truck. I've restarted AA several times in hopes that it was just a reboot problem, but no luck. The campaign played great the first time.
Also, in the mission Gulan Heights, the mission never ends. I knocked out both Shilkas, killed a million soldiers, (seemed like), and the mission never ended. I had to use the "end mission" cheat. This happened the first time I ran the campaign and I just forgot to mention it. It happened again the second time I played it. I suspected something might be wrong when I didn't receive any acknowledgment for knocking out the first shilka.
Other than that, I love this thing. It's really challenging.
