4.11 General debugging

[SPAD-1949]

I Built a "Operation Vengeance" Mission on the Solomons mid 43 map and find it very difficult to get all flights close on course. If I dont set the waypoint on my leading the other flights just veer off and head directly towards Bougainville instead of heading west after passing Cape Esperance. If I set all the waypoints on my flights waypoints, the the other flights crash partly on the Mountains of Guadalcanal or in best case they are circling above my flight. Until I leave the flight path. Then they just cirkle like lost orientation. I have to command them to the next waypoint but are not able to command them in formation to come with me. Wavetop altitude of 30m leads to crashes. I usually lost up to 8 aircraft on the way towards Treasury Island Worst of all, whenever I head nort and pass Treasury Islansd, Framreate breaks in and I get a crash du to some internal error. Unfortuinately no CTD, I have to kill the application on the hard way. Very unpleasant. Larger Starting delay 20minutes or more sometimes works sometimes does not.

I think there are...three... maybe four problems in there.

Lets start with the waypoints. It sounds like your waypoints are too close and the flights are passing and missing them. That or the Select option is set too early. Use that to target the lead flight only after they have taken off and are on the second or even third waypoint. Use the earlier waypoints to get them slightly setup.

The crash is either because you haven't patched to 4.11.1 or something else. Not sure. Frame rate also sounds like a weird problem. I've flown all over the map and had very few frame issues... there are a couple of slightly heavier areas but it's fairly frame friendly.

Maybe a CPU loading issue?

With other Missions I dont have the Problem with closer Waypoints

I think I set them on the second. when I dont set them on each point, they veer of for direct course without the southern detour.

Its 4.11.1

Can be... willing to check? ( I hope it is not inpolite to copy the whole .mis text in this forum)
I set the waypoints higher, the original 20m lead to to many losses, when accompanying AC crashed in the sea. When I try to fly Wavetop ca 30ft I loose my flight until Vella Lavella one by one.

Wait for the Follow Me Jeep to lead you to your starting position. You are Leader of the last starting flight, and should take the lead after takeoff

SPAD,

Just for future reference, you can place your mission into a Zip file and then attach it to your post.

I'm sorry I can't test your mission. Since 4.11, I am having trouble with the Solomons maps. In fact, since 4.11.1, I cant even open them in the FMB. Good luck with your problem.

Please check the Oxygen masks in the He111 H2 / H6

The old bug is present again they are outside the aircraft or halfway in/out.

Some loadout options of the Fw-200 is unrealistic, like 4 1000kg bombs, or 2 1800kg for example. As far as I know, max bombload was 2100kg. There are problems with the defensive weaponry too. I think there are two methods to fix it: 1, simply rename the aricraft to Fw-200C3. Then the defensive guns are OK. 2, For a true C3/U4 change the rear top and the two side machineguns to MG-131.

Btw, there was a cockpit made for it in the ancient times, what happened to it?

Here's a part of my MDS settings:
MDS_Misc_BombsCat1_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 90.0
MDS_Misc_BombsCat2_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 90.0
MDS_Misc_BombsCat3_CratersVisibilityMultiplier 90.0
90*80=7200, so the craters visibility is 2h. But they're erased after a little while. 80s ?...
I don't know if the bug exist since 4.10.

Thx all for your great work.

G'day DT

Possible QMB bug!

Not sure if this has already been noted (as could not seem to find it mentioned), but in QMB when selecting any of load options for the Hs-129B2 that includes either the Mk101 or Mk103 gun pods from within the the load out screen, that these items do not appear on the aircraft in the preview window, both alone and when selected in combination with other weapons, yet the other weapons do? (ie: Mk103 Gun Pod + 2x AB23 only the AB23s appear under the wings with no gun pod on the centreline).

It's no major issue as the weapons do appear once in a mission (where they are most needed).

[csThor]

That is normal since the gunpods are part of the basic aircraft texture (making skinning easier) they don't show up in the arming screen. That's not fixable, though.
