Beacons navigation problem
 

Hi,

I have problem with beacon navigation..
I'm in 4.12.2 version.

When i play "BlindLandingB25" beacon YG work perfectly but when I launch another mission that I prepared myself, it doesn'twork. Yet I have chosen the same parameters as in the example mission.

The same for the carrier.. Impossible to use...

I don't understand why nothing works properly.

If you can help..

Thx.

Are you using a B25? Not all aircraft can receive that type of beacon. Axis aircraft can't, and I'm not sure if all allied aircraft can either.

EDIT: Some quick testing shows it also matters what country your player aircraft is set to. All American armies and the RAF can tune them, but the USSR for example can't.

Yes i use B25 ... and the same country as in the example.

I did some tests:

IL2 4.07 and install 4.12.2 megapatch : beacons ye/yg works but some cockpit don't work (c47 for example), this is normal ??

IL2 4.07 and install 4.12.2 megapatch + Ultrapack 3.0 rc4, beacons don't works...

IL2 4.07 and install 4.08,4.09,4.10,4.10.1 : beacons ye/yg don't works.

In all cases, YE/YG beacons don't works. The only one that works is 4.12.2

I think there are a big compatibilities problems...

UP and other Mod packs don't always work well one some of these features... for example, flying the C-47 is something you can only do in a MOD so I'm not sure if the makers of that project would have paid attention to the navigation systems...

Perhaps there are other problems with the mod packs. I know some of the guys on our server have had more success with the SAS packs as far as retail feature compatibility goes.

The C47 has no cockpit so we can't flight with it but he is available in 4.12.2... :S

And the main question is, why with different versions of IL2 without MOD.. beacons YE/YG don't works when i create my own mission..
