4.12.2 de-bugging

I kinda meant the AI behavior with elevators flapping away and erratic flying.

Then...........

I looked at the wp for sp saw cycles =0 but timer =5

Whats cycles, is that the amount of times the spotter sees the target before reporting it ?

No, it's number of circles it'll do around the waypoint like in patrol WP (add 1 to it, so if you have 0, it's 1 circle, 1 is 2 and so on)

With
cycles=0
timer=5
it circles for ages

cycles =0
timer=0
it flies to next WP

not really a bug but here it is:

I was trying out taxiing in the FMB and I noticed that you must have multiple flights of one otherwise they crash into the sides of the hanger upon taxiing is it possible to have taxi points for INDIVIDUAL planes in a flight or maybe make a plane taxi to waypoint 2 or 3 or 4 etc instead of 1 thx

Place the first taxi waypoint farther out from the parked aircraft. That first waypoint doesn't have to be right near them; if you move it out so that the yellow (or purple) line pointing to the spawn stationary aircraft is straighter, they won't make drastic turns to get to it, and therefore crash into the hangar. I hope this helps!

Hi TD,

I have noticed another bug in the game. While playing a US diver bomber campaign I was in the second flight of two planes as n°6. As my leader and I are closer to the first flight, I notice that n°4 and n°5 are about to collide. Sometime they crash but they can also stay (very) close together (thier wings are almost touching) during the whole mission whithout crashing. I have this issue since I have installed 4.12. I have tried to send a screenshot but I can't find where the image is, I'll try to send it later. You can replicate the bug if you generate a dynamic campaign with the SBD and if you have a mission with two flights of four and two planes. It may be replicable with other planes but I haven't tried it yet.

Any 'plane that has a default formation of "Right Echelon" will act this way.
A way around this is to open your current campaign mission in FMB and change the formation in the "Waypoints" tab, then save the mission. Go back to your campaign and there should be no problem, you have to do this for each mission.

I'm back and I have found that AAAs behavior is now completely unstable in my game. I have tried to attack a japanese airfield on QMB on solomon map and nothing happened. Then I tried to attack an american one on the same map and again nothing. And then I repeat what I have done on other maps and everything works fine and when I go back on solomon map, AAA miraculously start to shoot at me. I have tied some missions on dgen campaigns too and axis AAA shot me in one US mission or an IJA one but when I restart them AAAs don't shoot anymore on both sides;

I don't know what's wrong with my game. Do you think I must reinstall my game? Please help me.

baball, regarding your last post, did you possibly have defence set to "none" initially, then pressed reset when you started to test other maps upon which defence goes back to active AAA and then retried the Solomons map? I play lots from the QMB and AAA has always done what it should there.

I always make sure AAA is on in QMB but what you said is intereting and I'll check it out this afternoon. You may be right. I really don't know what I must do about this problem about Dgen's AAA in my game. My brother is playing right now a Dgen campaign and AAA is shooting at him but when I try another campaign nothing happens. I'm starting to think my game acts like a princess, sometimes it wants to work fine, sometimes it doesn't.

Do you think I should reinstall it?
