Tracks Broken

[Mick F]

I'm having a problem viewing tracks in 1.2.7. I replay a track and can see all my head movements as per the original mission, but the canopy doesn't close/plane doesn't start/etc.

 

I'm using Helios on a touchscreen and wonder is it related to this as the only switches I can see moving on the track is the VHF AM frequency (as this is borked using Helios or keybindings, so I have to click in-cockpit).

 

Whats really weird is I can see the throttle and rudder movements at the point I began to roll in the mission, but the plane just stays in place in the replay.

 

Any thoughts/ideas? It's really frustrating me as I keep getting failures (and dying) when I roll in for a gun run and the debriefing just shows pod failure with no shots fired at me. I reckon I'm being hit by AA but want to watch the track to confirm.

No idea what's going on with your tracks, but have you tried using TacView? It might be a more useful utility to review your missions than watching the track.

I don't think the game is recording anything sent via Helios. I treid that some time back and ran into same issue that you have. In my case I was able to take off but since the retracktion of landing gear was done through Helios the plane in the replay flew with landing gear down on a different course and ended up crashing into a hill side 4 minutes after takeoff.

In the flown one I had been flying for an hour.

 

After that I have been using Tacview (http://lomac.strasoftware.com/tacview-en.php) and that is working great.
