[QUOTE=klem;280801]Ths may help. When you create a dogfight server create Spawn Areas not Aircraft.

Hi mate thanks for the reply. i have done exactly what u have told. i started a new map. 2 spawn areas 1 red 1 blue. followed your instructions down to the T and i am still getting the same thing? i launch it i select my side. then i pick an aircraft then hit create. then it spawns on the runway i click it then enter and pilot appears i hit enter but nothing happens i can click fly and watch the ai fly it though.

ok i dont know if u would class this as a bug or not. i may just be missing something. but i set my game to full real accept cockpit always on. that is the reason i could not join my created aircraft. i tried several time and almost gave up then i turned on a option that alowed me to change to different aircraft and even take over ai aircraft and i spawned into the aircraft i created from then on..

1. Full Screen Mode now generates Massive lag on servers (so much so server admins are rolling back to previous patches.
2. Huge graphical errors in maps such as water appearing in cities at high altitude!
3. The higher you go the more the rivers look like marsh land instead of mainland.
4. Menu buttons don't work so you have to CTL ALT DEL out of the game to go back to the previous menu.
5.Mirrors in Spitfire and Hurricanes don't work at certain angles with Track IR, they show bad pixilation with black lines in with object massively magnified even though it is far away.
6. Co-Op does not work on the channel map.
7. Some fighter AI does not work in Co-Op.
8. Search Lights don't work properly
9. AAA can't hit anything.
10. Very limited range with AAA apart from the 88's
11. Servers constantly crashing as numbers build up.
12. Changing fuel contents on load out screen with spitfire makes no difference to what the gauge in the aircraft tells you.
13. After a rocky takeoff In the spitfire you get a rumbling from the tail wheel that will not stop.
14. Unable to play any custom made mission to the end without the launcher stoping and locking the game up.
15. barrage balloons randomly don't extend to the height that you set them at. They just stay on the ground. barrage balloons at height cannot be clicked upon.
16. Saved building in the FMB will sometimes save unselected items as well.
17. Unable to unselect buildings and objects after pasting from file in FMB.
18. Unable to rotate grouped items around a central axis only around an individual axis.
19. Retracting the undercarriage while on the ground will do just that!
20. Unable to view the compass in the Spitfire and Hurricane while flying.

ok three things here.

1. To select aircraft or create them you must uncheck the 'Cannot Switch planes' etc. entries in Realism settings. I usually uncheck all of that group but you can decide to limit some options for players like 'Cannot Switch Sides'.

2. If you only created Spawn Areas its possible you 'Created' an aircraft and then left it (Escape) so it would stay Created and you might see it as an 'Aircraft' that you could select and 'Enter'. Usually when you only have Spawn Areas and you select an Army then an Airfield, the aircraft available only appear on a list on the right hand side of the 'Map screen' where you choose the a/c you want from the likst you provided in the mission builder. You don't usually see actual aircraft, at least not right off.

3. You may have created 'Aircraft' as well as 'Spawn Areas' because to select an aircraft on the map and 'Enter' it, it would have to be an 'Aircraft' (or one of a Group) you placed on the Airfield (unless it was a 'leftover' previously Created as in 2. above).

So after creating your simple dogfight server with Spawn Areas only, create a server, set the Realism as above then load the mission. It should work ok.

hi all
thanks klem. i fixed that problem now. i had to enable the taking over of aircraft in the realism options.

now i found another problem i got a video clip of it.
i was flying a he111 in a dogfight map. and got shot in half. even though the aircraft was hard to fly i was still able to fly it. i only crashed after i started messing with the flaps and stuff.
just thought i would point that out.

another thing im getting launcher stop responding error when i go to online english channel map. or if i try to load black death video.
thanks

Three things that are most annoying:
1. The game crashes every 5 mins back to desktop. I can here some sound and i can hear my plane crashing but thats all, no switching back to menu or something like that. Just the Taskmanager helps.
2. No Radio. I mean you can´t play with AI if you can´t give them orders. If I try to land they to land too...without wheels
3. No AA. Yep this makes the game looking not that good as its supposed to be!

well im thinking 1 is a Ram issue. i dont mean your ram im thinking that the game is not using ram correctly. seems the bigger the map like english channel or the more going on on a map usually crashes my launcher exe anyway. i lost the game several times yesterday. im sure they are working on this though

i cant comment on 2 i know the ai is real dumb. they crash into everything. i have seen them take off and crash into mountains when coming back around and even seen them crash into each other.

but 3 now i have AA working on some maps i have done. and they seem to work correctly only 1 was working bad he was face down on a mountian shooting me on the other side of the mountain.. so basically he was shooting through the mountain at me.
but i have been taken out by AA .
