Late activated Awacs/Tanker radio

Recommended Posts

Tankers and AWACS are not available on comms until they're performing the "Tanker" or "AWACS" advanced waypoint actions, AFAIK.

 

If, by late activation, you mean the unit is spawned by a trigger, the unit does not exist in the sim world until the activation trigger occurs.

 

Correct on the AI must have started the task part. However late activated units to "exist" in the mission, they just aren't active.

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Yet, i've setup an Awacs triggered to appear later in the mission but it does not show up in the comm menu once it is triggered. The advanced waypoint action is set, as it is by default. Bug?

Can you attach a the mission where it doesn't work? I tried reproducing it and I was unable to.

Are you sure you set up the advanced waypoint action correctly? I had a similar issue, no menu for AWACS, because when you add up a new AWACS, AWACS service is not set by default. You need to activate it by changing the setting in AWACS advanced waypoint action.

I did this, but the menu still doesn't become active/visible.

See attached screenshot from mission editor:

Grimes:

I removed the white "AWACS" task from the beginning and added a separate (gray) "AWACS" task to waypoint 1.

Thus the AWACS task should start at waypoint 1, not at waypoint 0 (which seems to work fine).

But the comm menu is not getting visible, that's the problem.

Reason for my intention is: I don't want AWACS to flood all FC3 aircraft right from the start of the mission with messages of targets.

Years later and this is broken again.

Late activated E-3 will ignore ALL tasks/commands that are part of its initial waypoint. It ignores its AWACS enroute task, it ignores its Orbit task, it ignores its Invisible command.

 

So for now, do NOT use late activated AWACS, its completely broken.
