[REPORTED]Cannot cold start on Tarawa


SandMan23

Recommended Posts

Hello All:

 

Haven't taken the Harrier out of the hanger for a bit. Decided to do so today but am unable to cold start from the Tarawa.

 

Single player Caucus mission. I can start from the runway just fine in the same mission. However, when take from ramp is selected the fly screen takes me to the F10 map and my bird is no where to be found.

 

Not sure when this has changed. Again haven't flown the harrier in a bit, but it worked fine prior to whatever change or bug has effected this.

 

Is this a new bug? Is there a work around?

 

Thanks,

I think it is a general DCS bug, will need to wait for a fix...

 

Been waiting over a year. I wouldnt hold my breath for a fix soon.

Can you help clarify this?

 

It used to be a server issue (the whole wait to start thing), which is mainly what I'm talking about, the SP stuff used to work fine off the Tarawa because that was just MP spawn problem, is this a new and different issue?

If this is the Multiplayer/Client slot only bug. When picking a slot with a Harrier cold on the Tarawa deck, the message is "YOUR FLIGHT IS DELAYED TO START".

 

 

The workaround is to remain in slot

Return to menu

Select another slot anywhere (do not press fly)

Select your same slot again

Press Fly.

 

 

And you get into the Harrier. (until fixed that is)

For some reason this almost never works for me. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, What precisely do you mean by "remain in slot".

I haven't been able to get this to work for me either.

 

Maybe if someone put up a button-press-for-button-press guide, because that which is printed here is vague enough to leave room for errors.

I can't believe this is still a bug on an aircraft that's primary mission involves launch from an LHA. tried tonight to get in a jet 30 times while 2 other flights on a CV waited so we could all make TOT. I finally gave up. It's ridiculous that this hasn't been fixed yet. If it happened on the F18 or F14 there would have been a hot fix in 2 days.

Select Harrier on Tarawa -> Flight delayed ->Escape menu -> Select role ->Back to spectators (bottom left corner) -> Select same slot again -> Should work

 

 

 

Works about 90% of time for me. But is limited to multiplayer.

 

Thanks for trying to help me here, but... "... Escape menu -> Select role ->Back to spectators (bottom left corner) ->" puts you here...

... which makes "... Select same slot again -> " not possible.

Sadly, there is a difference between multiplayer missions and multiplayer missions. I guess you have made this mission yourself? I have not gotten that trick to work in those missions. But if you load up something like Through the Inferno, it will work. I don't know enough to say exactly what the difference is. Somebody who makes missions could probably explain that part better.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Marsyinet.

This screen makes me think you are not in quite the right place to bypass this nasty bug. For me to get it to work, I actually have to be HOSTING the mission I create through the multiplayer interface.

 

1. Create your mission as normal in the editor. Your Harrier will be start from ramp (cold start) on the Tarawa as a client aircraft. I have tested this from spots 1 and 2, so not sure about the rest but I get the impression you are doing this for SP practice anyway.

 

2. Save your mission and exit the mission editor.

 

3. Select multiplayer on the DCS home screen and host a server yourself (uncheck the public server option unless you want to meet random folks I suppose). Start your mission.

 

4. When you select your role as the Harrier on the Tarawa, you will probably get the dreaded "your flight is delayed" the first time. However, also notice the flashing pause symbol in the upper right -- press the pause key on your keyboard to start the mission.

 

5. Press escape, select role, select spectator. Then select your Harrier role and you will drop right into game on board the ship with a cold/dark aircraft.

Aha, I was just hitting the harrier again of a different one. I'll try this.
