Luft08 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi all. I just got DCS World and purchased the Normandy 1944 + WWII Assets Pack. Wow! The mission editor is awesome! I of course had to jump right in and start playing with it. :) I want to build a super easy "destroy the truck convoy" mission. I placed a Transport M818 on a road and set some way points along the road with type "On Road" but the truck starts and immediately leaves the road and stops. Probably a beginner mistake but I haven't a clue how to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toutenglisse Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This is the behavior of ground units when they are threatened/shoot at. Maybe you have placed some ennemy (in this case friendly for you) ground units not far and shooting at them. If not it's a bug.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luft08 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 The truck is the only unit I have placed. It is inside a town. I'll play around with it but it is disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 try to set up some advanced waypoint options so he won't care if something shoots him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Could be a bug with the roads on the map - I seem to remember this is something ED is still working on. Be aware Normandy and asset pack is an "early access" (read: not feature complete and with known and unknown bugs) release intented for people who want to help find those bugs and follow the development of the map. Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luft08 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 I started over and was careful to test at each waypoint it looks like the trucks don't stay on the road very well unless the speed is set to 11 kts or less. If they go off road and hit some things they stop. I had to muck about with intersections. I set a few off road waypoints so that the trucks would cut the corner. I still have a few areas where it looks like the three stooges are driving. Getting better however. Thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESAc_matador Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 It is probably a map issue. Have gou reported the bug? We all need to report this little issues to improve the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Post the mission file so someone can take a look. It'll be easier to figure out if it is an AI behavior issue, problem with the map, or something else. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
