Bugs and Problems

Seems like radio transmission trigger causes some trouble, I will have to report it to ED, thanks for reporting!

*EDIT* confirmed, it is the RT bug coming back

Mission 3

Mission 3, lead will only taxi out of his hanger a few feet, then is stuck. Really enjoyed the first two sorties, looking forward to trying the rest. Version 2.5.1 open beta.

As a fellow mission designer and planner -- I'm blown away by what you've accomplished.

Hey! thanks for the kind words!

Unfortunately the campaign (and I think any other) will not work under 2.5.1 OB, there are at least two different bugs that will make the AI go dumb (waypointnswitching by triggers doesn’t work and radio transmission sent while taxiing will stop the plane on the ground, what you have experienced in M3). You will have to wait until it is fixed or play in stable release.

Ok, I was about to complain that my campain at very first mission got froze just as we were suppose to taxi. Other jets got froze on taxiway but I could move. I am nto sure is it just busted trigger or is it something wrong in general.

See above - this is a bug introduced with 2.5.1, hopefully will be fixed with the next update. Nothing I can do about it..

So I didn't understand why my private missions didn't work. Several hours later I find this post of yours, and yes, that explains it.

Quite amazing that a function that has worked flawlessly since 1.forever suddenly ceases to work after an update that doesn't concern that functionality (as per release notes).

This particular bug has appeared before (or a mutation of it). Currently there are two: waypoint switching via trigger and any AI task push actions that stop the aircraft on the ground.

Mission 1 can’t get the ip to taxi from hanger everything my side is done ins startup etc he just gets clearance to taxi and sits there

There are a couple of bugs in 2.5.1 that completely broke the campaign - if you want to continue (or - in this case - start) I advise to roll back to 2.5.0 or wait till the fix, hopefully this Wednesday.. sorry, this is completely out of my hands!

Now the wingman start to taxi,... but there is the AWACS blocking their turning to the main runway

I will upload an updated versiom in a few minutes. It will also be released on Wednesday

Sorry it took longer than expected, try this file for M03: DOWNLOAD

Looking at that mini-update that ED appeared to drop yesterday, the log suggested that the speech.lua file had been updated and when i played my next mission in the official campaign this evening, the one with the traitor L-39 pilot, i couldn't hear the leader's radio transmissions when up in the air, despite seeing the text on screen. the two might not be connected, as i am sure that i heard voices on the ground, testing radio comms etc., but thought it worth mentioning.

Hey Greyman,

My bet is that you had the radios tuned incorrectly. Currently there is a bug introduced in the first installment of Open Beta 2.5.1 in which you will see all the on-screen texts for all the radio transmissions no matter on what channel they play, i.e even on frequencies you are not tuned to.

Therefore I believe the transmission played OK but you didn't hear it as you were probably on the wrong channel.

I thought that I had switched the green radio to preset 2, but I'll try that mission again, just to make sure. Maybe there is another frequency switch that I had missed.

Thanks for the help

Did You change Freq from VUHF to UHF?

Move the green knob and preset knob only isn't enough.

It will probably be my finger trouble somewhere along the line, especially as I have only just started flying with easy comms off. I'll do some more reading and maybe try to find a good video tutorial or training mission to sharpen my radio comms skills.

Thanks for the pointers

I'm having problems with radios as well. I have easy communications disabled, using 2.5.0 stable. Downloaded the updated missions too. In mission 7: Hotel 5 i'm told to switch to channel 6 on green radio to assist Sabre, i do that but i don't hear the Sabre or other flights, just my own dialogue. Destroyed the ground targets and my pilot eventually told to RTB but still couldn't hear anyone, tried switching channels again, nothing. I landed, taxiid to correct spot, ended mission and it failed.

Also had some other problems with this mission. When i did full INS alignment, game crashed when i changed from STS mode to N. Tried again and this time it didn't crash but my wingman didn't taxi at all. Then i decided to skip the whole INS alignment process and he taxiid just fine and chatted on radio until we had to change to channel 6 on green radio where those radio problems started.

This is my radio setup, everything ok?

Hey, I will have a look at the mission. Your radio looks OK, yet it seems as either something was wrong with it or the unit that is transmitting it in game, I'll have to check. Do you have any mods installed?

Just AJS-37 english cockpit, Huey sound mod and Huey cargo view adjustment mod. Thanks for your help (again) :)

BD, some something-somethings from the AWACS mission.

I'll be a little cryptic to avoid spoiling it for others. For some reason the hand-holders don't stop holding hands contrary to the radio indications, and they don't react to any attack, overshooting or other stimuli.

The dialogue also mentions visual identification a few times but for reason or another in 2.5 it's completely dark until the very end of the mission so eyeballing aircraft types and such is impossible.

Thanks, I have to revisit that mission as I had several reports about this, though in OB 2.5.1 it worked fine when I last checked. But I will see what happens. Are you on release version?

I've just flown it again and can't reproduce- two hand-holders do change course and attack.

Make sure that you use F-10 radio menu to report in that you have a radar lock on them.

Hey, I've been looking into that bug you mentioned for hotel 7 and I need some additional info:

A) Have you heard the Hotel 5 before? Is it only Sabre that you didn't hear? (Hotel 5 should have German accent, Sabre - Russian)

B) Have you sen Sabre? Did it engage the targets?

Looks like your radios were set up correctly. Also everything looks good in the mission. The only reason I can think of is that Sabre crashed somewhere on the way and thats why you didn't hear him..

Mission 1: there is a C130 at parking 09 that is preventing the CAP Mirages from taxiing
