LensLok85

Hi The issue is during a mission I've written for the Persian Gulf, if CVN-75 is sunk by the enemy it's on deck static objects are moved to the maps origin Khasab airport after it is removed from the game. Raising this issue as would expect static objects linked to a carrier would also be removed when the carrier is removed from the game. When experimenting in the mission editor on Caucasus there seems to be two carrier sunk states depending upon the depth where the carrier was sunk: 1. Shallow water - tested depths between ALT -20 & ALT -60: When a carrier is sunk in shallow water, it cannot be seen in the F10 view, but the carrier object remains in the game including it's linked statics which can be seen on the F10 view. This happens when the water depth is too shallow to completely submerge the carrier after it's sink animation has stopped. The static objects may also be completely submerged but they still remain in the game. 2. Deep water - tested depth ALT -100: When a carrier is sunk in deep water, it cannot be seen in the F10 view, the carrier object remains in the game including it's linked statics which can be seen on the F10 view, until the sink animation depth reaches a value whereby the carrier object is removed from the game. At this point the linked static objects are moved to the map origin and remain visible on the F10 view. To test the static object issue outside of my custom mission I've created a test mission for Caucasus, all 5 CVNs 71 - 75, each with a linked F/A-18 static object. Tracks test deep water carrier sinking using: 2.9.8.1214 MT, unmodded, slow repaired Note: get same results regardless Supercarrier module on/off Attached Track: "Caucasus - LensLok85 - Sink carrier - Static objects re-appear map origin" Timeline: 12:00:00 Mission start carriers destroyed via LUA script 12:01:00 Carrier secondary explosions trigger carrier sink animations 12:03:15 Around this time the carriers are removed from the game and the statics are moved to the map origin, the centre of Crimea for Caucasus Attached Track: "PG - LensLok85 - Sink carrier - Static objects re-appear map origin" Another example of the issue for PG map, using 1 CVN, statics move to Khasab airport. Cheers! History Poking around the forums I found posts dated Summer 2018 describing static objects appearing at the map origin on the PG and Caucasus maps, but couldn't find anything related to this happening after a carrier has been sunk.

Sorry lost text in the initial post after submitting, don't know why, here it is: In one of my custom missions discovered US carrier group will attack one another using Harpoons instead of the incoming enemy fast attack boats. Stripped out key Red vs Blue units to create a test mission, and produced test tracks using unmodded [v2.9.8.1214] version of DCS World. Found the issues with FAC La Combattante IIa when creating the attached test mission! Issues identified in track "PG - LensLok85 - Ticonderoga attacks Arleigh Burke with RGM-84D": 1. Blue on Blue - Ticonderoga attacks Arleigh Burkes with Harpoons even though mission log states enemy was the target. 2. FAC La Combattante IIa will destroy itself when launching Harpoons. 3. FAC La Combattante IIa will launch Harpoons into the sea. In the test mission can swap out Ticonderoga for Oliver Perry and the Perry will attack the friendly Arleigh Burke, see attached "PG - LensLok85 - Oliver Perry attacks Arleigh Burke with RGM-84D". Cheers

Hi all... The block AI from taking off trick, using a static object placed in front of the unit, no longer seems to work under 2.9. A mission I've written uses the static object trick to prevent the launch of "Rooster", waiting engines hot at a catapult, until certain conditions are met. This worked great under 2.8, "Rooster" would launch when required by removing the static object, but under 2.9 "Rooster" takes off immediately. To test the issue I've created a stripped down mission on the Caucasus map that contains: CVN-74 F/A-18 an ammo crate placed on the catapult track to stop the F-18 from launching No changes were made to the object properties just dragged and dropped them onto the map. On the latest stable (2.8.7.42718) the ammo crate blocks the AI F-18 from taking off. On the latest beta (2.9.1.48111) the AI F-18 launches 51 seconds into the mission. Tested open beta with mods removed, only extras installed are plane liveries. Haven't spotted anything in the open beta change logs that states the blocking behaviour has been altered, also searched the forums and didn't find anything. Is this a known problem or feature change? Anybody else confirm the issue? Many thanks for reading P.S. Although 1st post been around since LOMAC onwards LensLok85 - FA-18 - Block catapult take off.miz
