Invulnerablilty & Unlimited Settings Transfer To Mission

[VAF [136] Striker]

This is a huge bug that needs to be looked into. This has happened several times to me recently so it should be fairly easy to reproduce on ED's end. There's no way to create a track file because I'm working with different computers and the file is transferred to the squad server and run on that.

 

1. I created the mission that we ran on our server last night. In the mission options I leave all of the cheats unchecked which included "invulnerability" and "unlimited ammo". The options for my simulation settings are matching at this point.

 

2. I transfer the mission to the server and test it by running the mission on the squad server and then connecting to it using my sim computer. the mission runs fine and I can be damaged and run out of ammo.

 

3. I make some more changes to the mission on my sim system and then switched to an air to air role to test the triggers of the enemy aircraft launching. To do this while flying through SAM territory I set my sim system options only (not in the mission editor) to invulnerable and unlimited ammo. I run the mission on the squad server and again I'm connected remotely and fly the mission. I'm invulnerable and have unlimited ammo.

 

Keep in mind that the squad server is still set with the options of invulnerable and unlimited ammo unchecked and the mission options are still set the same. It's only my local sim system that I changed those options in the DCS World GUI.

 

4. I back out of the mission and make a few changes to it and save it. I did not turn off those two options in my GUI yet because I'm still testing. So I make the changes to the mission and double check the mission options and they are still both unchecked. I transfer the mission back to the server and run it and connect remotely. I'm still invulnerable and unlimited ammo on my GUI at this point but the squad server and both the mission are set contrary.

 

I back out of the mission after testing thinking everything is OK and then turn off those options on my sim system GUI.

 

5. We run the mission for the evening thinking everything is OK but find out after 30 minutes into it that everyone is invulnerable and has unlimited ammo. So I open up the mission on the squad server in the editor and sure enough, the options are unchecked.

 

So something in the coding is messed up badly and it's transferring those option into the mission without reflecting those changes in the editor. The only way I've found to fix this is to open DCS World back up on my sim system, go into the GUI, uncheck those two options, reopen the mission in my editor and double check that they're not checked. Re-save the mission and then re-transfer it back onto the server and test it again.

 

Could you guys please look into fixing this problem?

 

Edit: I wanted to add that I am clicking on the "fly" or whatever that button is called in the editor to test the missions. So the editor must be transferring the GUI settings into the mission without reflecting it in the mission options for some reason.
