JTAC in 1.2.1 patch

I also have no JTAC in the radio list/s in 'create fast missions'.

Eh guys... I'm also trying to get to the root of this problem. I have tried a few different work arounds involving adding waypoints and a hold order at the IP and it didn't work- but in reading through the thread it looks like that was a solution for single player?

Any further investigation into this on the MP side? Any news on the next update or is it just kept hush hush to keep people from going "I thought you said it was coming out yesterday?!"

I just loaded the attached mission in a MP session. My clients do not get a jtac menu at all

Have you tried starting/loading the mission after all clients have connected to your server?

I was going to try that this evening. But that workaround really sucks for running a "dedicated" server.

Reloading after everybody is in appears to work

Not perfect but ill take it.

Thanks for the help

In that case you need to make a waypoint every 10 or 20 minutes for the JTAC with all the advanced wp's for comms, callsign, targets etc. on every wp. That way whenever a new client connects to the server the moment the JTAC passes over a wp he will start feeding info to that client and the client should then have the ability to communicate with JTAC.

It's a ball ache, but a workaround for MP.

I have a predator flying an orbit in my MP mission. Will everything update when he hits his turning point in the orbit or will I have to manually define a box and use advanced scripting to get him to repeat waypoints?

You have to repeat all the info for the advanced wp at every wp, a new client won't receive any info from the JTAC otherwise.

With a Predator though you should be able to make him return to wp at certain intervals to update the info, that may work.
