discwalker Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 steps to reproduce: 1 connect to any SERVER 2 choose a slot using waypoints 3 crash with the plane (in real scenario you killed by enemy) 4 respawn through the BRIEFING menu with mouse (not with the "get new plane - respawn" key combination) 5 searching in navigation for waypoints bigger than zero 6 WORKAROUND: in real scenario you change slot or temporary move to spectators (The sample mission contains 4 planes for each coalition, each plane is equipped with 3 waypoints.) tested with the current 1.5.4.56500.154two_su27_through_briefing.trktwo_su25t_through_briefing.trktwo_f15c_through_briefing.trkbug_MP_wp_lost.miz GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB DDR3, W8.1 on SSD, DCS on another SSD
discwalker Posted August 31, 2017 Author Posted August 31, 2017 Cheapest to fix multiplayer issue After almost one year the bug is living in our MP sessions: Frustrating to loose BULLSEYE and / or TARGET AREAs. After player loose the plane and get a new one: can got without waypoints. (The plane need to explode first, ejection is not enough.) (If you test as MP SERVER the "get new plane - respawn" key combination give a good plane with waypoints.) So, please try to reproduce the bug as CLIENT. Waypoints lost if you - not changing slot - then briefing to the plane with mouse or if you use keyb shortcut: press leftAlt+B twice. Last checked DCS ver.: 1.5.7.8899.335 In the new sample mission each plane (Su-27, Su-25T, F-15C, A-10A) equipped with 3 waypoints. Loosing occured with various ground and air started planes. Workaround: move temporary to spectators, or get another slotbug_MP_wp_lost2.miz GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB DDR3, W8.1 on SSD, DCS on another SSD
Home Fries Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 I've experienced this with FC3 aircraft. Once you lose your plane (crash or eject) you only have ILS/terminal waypoints selectable. Workaround is to select a different aircraft, then return to the slot, but this is easy to forget in the heat of the moment when you just want to hit alt-b then fly. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide
