4.11 General debugging

[|450|Leady]

Hi Team Daidalos

I've noticed that the default fuse delay on RS82 rockets for AI piloted aircraft is too short in my DCG campaign seems to be wrong. I153's fire their rockets at vehicles and tanks but they explode mid air, short of the target. If you are lucky the last pair of rockets might reach the target.

I think it may be that the I153 flys too slowly for the current default.

Cheers

Nope. I did it again:

DISABLE manual view so you can watch what I'm showing.

1. Deselect both engines
2. Show that both are deselected
3. Select engine 1
4. Start engine 1
5. Deslect engine 1
6. Select engine 2
7. Start engine 2
8. Select both engines, bring throttle to idle

This is "normal starting position"

1. DESELECT engine 1 (conversely, enable only engine 2)
2. Bring engine 2 to idle
3. Feather engine 2
4. Shutdown engine 2
5. DESELECT engine 2 (we don't need it anymore)
6. SELECT engine 1
7. Show that engine 1 is selected (throttle up, then throttle down, etc.)
8. Bring engine 1 to 70% power; note that all is fine.
9. SIMPLY DESELECT engine 1 (essentially NO engines are selected at this point)
10. Watch the RPMs climb in engine 1
11. Repeat tests. You can easily get engine 1 to fail by simply deselecting it and not changing any other parameters.

Can you post the mission here, AFAIK you should be able to attach it to the post. I made some changes in that regard for 4.12 so your mission would be a good check if the problem is solved or not.

Any idea what the speed set is at the GATTACK waypoint? It's been a few years since I used I-153s in a rocket based ground attack role but I didn't have that problem before. It may be in more recent patches something changed.

See if you can have a look and let us know what the GATTACK waypoint settings are.

Beaufighter port side propeller vanishes on external view, when you zoom away from or flyby.

Not for me. Neither propeller vanishes, no matter how far I zoom the view out. Might be an issue on your end...possibly drivers.

Anyone know if there are any problems with the V-1 launcher?

I placed three fairly close to each other in an online scenario but just the one shows up. All three are present and have their own waypoints placed for launching the V-1s... it's a bit weird.

What happens if you move them a bit more far away of each other?

I have an online map I made on the Kuban where I have two of them fairly close together on the hill above the airbase at Novorossiysk and they work just fine.

I have to run another few tests and I'll let you know.
