DCE Campaigns

just to be clear, same bug as posted some time ago

Hi LuSi,

Sorry we didn't see your message earlier.

1/ Can you post us here an image of the location of your file: MissionScripting.lua

like this :

https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=218936&d=1570612325

2/ As well as its content?

3/ Can you also give us the encoding of this same file (UTF8?)

4/ Which campaign do you use?

5/ Do you get an error message when you run FirstMission.bat

Thanks

I will do once I'm back home.

But what I can answer right now: no, I don't get the error when running first mission or skip mission.bat

It happens in all campaigns I tried:

-Hornet over Caucasus

-Tomcat over Caucasus

-Hornet over PG

-Tomcat over PG

-Viper over PG

seems to be a general issue on my side.

For the rest, I'll report back!

Is there a way to limit how low or high the atmospheric pressure can go? On some missions your at the highest pressure setting on the altimeter and it still reads 0 feet. If this does not exist in the code yet can if be considered in future patches?

Where is that "Viper Over PG" ????? can't find it anywhere

Included in the Hornet over PG. Check First page

##### EDIT #####

I fooled myself. I had my DCS.exe set to admin rights. I removed this and everything is fine! Anyway, thank you for help!

P.s. add an extra Option for more night Mission :D

here you go:

Thank you.

Of course, your campaigns are also in the openbeta^^ folder, and you only play with openBeta?

Otherwise, I would also need a screenshot of the bug and the dcs log. (plz)

To try to adjust the pb, you could:

1/ transform MissionScripting.lua into ANSI encoding

2/ disable your antivirus

3/ make a repair of DCS openBeta (be careful, make a backup)

Otherwise, in any case, you can continue your campaigns using DEBUG_DebriefMission.bat, it will use the 3 temporary files ( result of your last mission) to build the next mission.

In fact, when it works well, MissionScripting.lua avoids using DEBUG_DebriefMission.bat

Good luck ^^:thumbup:

ahhh we're Posting at the same time. Problem solved, see my edit above.

Thank you very much!

Thank you, thanks to you we still found a potential MissionScripting problem,

Thank you again

We can see that, indeed.

Do you know the maximum values used in DCS?

When I get home I’ll find the max and min on the aircraft altimeter.

F14 Tomcat Altimeter limits.

Lower: 2810 in Hg

Upper: 3100 in Hg

I’m sure they are similar in other aircraft.

Thank you, thanks to you we still found a potential MissionScripting problem,

 

Thank you again

Hi, I have to report back.

The Falcon Campaign still crashes, F-14 and F-18 over PG are working fine.

Debug Mission also don't work, see second attachment

DebugMission will only work if it finds these temporary files (which are created while you are playing the mission)

camp_status.lua

MissionEventsLog.lua

scen_destroyed.lua

If the other campaigns work, it means that missionScripting works correctly

the error message means that it cannot write a temporary file. Why?

I think you may have legal/security issues on your Falcon files and directory.

I will try a repair and check read/write permission in that Filder.

Thx!

DCS (PG & Caucasus) gives as mini max:

min 28.35 in Hg (720 mm Hg)

max 31.10 in Hg (790 mm Hg)

In the DCE code:

min 720 mmHg

max 790 mm Hg

Normally, DCS and DCE should not exceed the altimeter values of the F-14

Do you remember the atmospheric pressure?

Otherwise, if in doubt, you can check your mission with the mission editor or by opening the Tomcat over PG-CVN_ongoing.miz file with WinRAR

then opens the mission file and searches (CRTL F) for the QNH tag

example:

['qnh'] = 790,

In this file, the value seems to be in mm Hg

I don’t not but when it happens again I will look it up.

But this will happen every few missions. Usually too high.

No success. Neither repair or read/write helped. :cry:

The 790 is out of the upper limits of most altimeters. Make it 760 and should be good.

Just had a mission with altimeter out of limits. Qnh was 784. This is with setting altimeter or trying to set to 60 feet sea level on the ship.

No success. Neither repair or read/write helped. :cry:

Okay. Okay.

please, can you share with us your Falcon over PG folder and associated files (.miz and.cmp)

sure, I'll zip it tonight.

Thanks for your help

I don't know how they did it at the time of F-14, but it seems to me they could have been in similar situations, right?

Well, here's what I found as a mini max value in the Persian Gulf:

769

I also don't know if these values are of interest to the community, in your case, I'll try to modify the file for you
