Tomcat unusable for (player specific) scripting

[funkyfranky]

First off, this is not really a HB bug, but the DCS getPlayerName() function returns incorrect results when the RIO enters and/or leaves the plane - see here. Due to other DCS bugs this is an important function in scripting to check whether a player has entered and create, e.g., player specific F10 radio menu entries.

 

Therefore, this bug causes severe issues in many community scripts - in particular carrier ops related ones, of course.

 

Is there any chance, HB could kindly ask ED to fix this so that we can use the full potential of this wonderful aircraft in our missions?

(The bug report cited above is already four month old, so it seems ED does not care a lot.)
