All units visible bug

[edokg]

Hi guys, how can I solve or "mitigate" the bug for which if I'm on a multiplayer server and without selecting any slots I go on briefing and then F10 I can see all units (red and blue) as if I were in game master?

 

I cant set to hidden all the units because the mission needs tactical commanders and if I set the units to hidden, also them can't see anything...

 

tks!

Have you changed the F10 map menu settings in the ME to reflect what will be seen by the selected roles....eg Fog of War etc.

 

I used FOW and no units could be seen by Forward Observer or Tactical Commanders slots in MP.

If you are in a multiplayer server and without select an aircraft slot you click on Briefing and after on Fly and you go on F10 map, you see all the units (red and blue side) like a Game Master.

 

And this is a problem because player of opponent coalition can "spy" the position of other units.

Yes that is probably because when you built the mission you have not changed these settings (a picture paints a thousand words) see image below:

 

Sì, probabilmente perché quando hai costruito la missione non hai cambiato queste impostazioni (un'immagine dipinge più di mille parole) vedi l'immagine qui sotto:

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps :thumbup:

Thank you for the reply, but I also changed the F10 View Options and any setting i set (map only, my AC, fog of war, etc.) is the same...i can see all units if I don't enter in aircraft....

 

Are you sure you don't have the problem I have described to you?

[SUNTSAG]

Sorry no I don't have your issues....

 

I hosted my own server this morning to check out the settings and they were working fine.

 

I also joined another server as a forward observer and that was also working as intended, as I could only see my own sides units.

[edokg]

No man, you don't join as forward observer.

Follow this:

Connect to a multiplayer server or host it and without select an aircraft slot or an instructor slot (forward observer, game master, tactical commander, etc.) you click on Briefing and after on Fly and you go on F10 map, you see all the units (red and blue side) like a Game Master.

I do know how this works my friend I have been building missions and joining servers in DCS for many years now and the process I used is correct.

 

I did not join an aircraft slot and went straight for the Combined Arms slots. I joined my own server as a Bluefor Forward Observer and no problems only seeing blue units and not red. I did the same on the 59th Ravens server and same again, Blue units visible Red not.

 

If this were a global DCS bug I would have thought people using servers like Blueflag would be shouting very loudly by now. Perhaps they are and I have missed it.

 

I do appreciate your frustration but perhaps running a repair might help.....unless others are experiencing the same issue as yourself?

We can't understand. The problem is that you go straight for Combined Arms slot.

 

You need to stay on Spectator and click Briefing, and click Fly and go to F10.

If you done this you can view all units. And this is my problem. Why can I view ALL units if I am on Spectator?? It is a bug.

 

I hope we will understand...:D

Did you go to options and check the gameplay tab? There's an option there that will over ride your mission options if it's checked. Maybe that's what's causing this. Here is a screenshot:

Ah from Spectator view......I don't believe it's a bug though......by its very definition it was designed for people to view the action if they do not wish to partake of the mission. If you could not see anything it would defeat the purpose of the feature.

 

To my knowledge this cannot be changed in game but perhaps a script is available that would have an impact. I have never used slmod which is a server side script but perhaps that contains something to help with your concern.

Ok, I'll try, tks!
