[CANNOT REPRODUCE]BUG? USAF Aggressors defaulting back to USA?

[PSYKOnz]

I'm having a bizarre issue with the USAF aggressors in the mission editor.

every time I place a unit down as aggressors it defaults back to USA after I click off of it, I have the aggressors set up as red but every time I click off of it resets it to blue and USA.

 

I don't really know what is going on. anybody else had this?

That is super weird. I'll check if it's happening on my end as well.

 

Try temporarily removing the following folder:

 

c:/users/YOURUSERNAME/Saved Games/dcs.openbeta/MissionEditor

Hi

 

can you repeat and attach your dcs.log straight after.

 

If you have any unofficial modifications please remove them and do a cleanup and repair.

 

Thank you

USAF Agressors have always been Blue for me. One of the benifits of that is you can use any Russian piece of equipment and it will communicate over the radio in English. USAF Agressors are like having an OpFor in the Red Flag exersize. You're all on the same side but the agressors are using Russian equipment. If you really want to shoot them down, why not just use Russians?

[PSYKOnz]

Because that’s not the point of the mission that I’m trying to build. And besides that that’s not the point, the problem is not that it’s blue but after setting it it resets the unit to USA (or Russia) as showen in the video. It won’t let me use the aggressors at all.

 

Also the aggressors are set to red so they should be OPFOR regardless the coalition sets there side not the actual unit

 

And I’ve used the aggressors as OPFOR in past missions with no trouble at all

@bignewy was my dcs.log any help?

 

@feefifofum I removed the mission editor folder and the problem still happened I also did a repair after and tried again and still no joy, is it happening at your end?

 

anyone else having this issue?

Hi

 

sorry for my delay in reply.

 

I am unable to reproduce on my machine.

 

Can we ask you to

 

run a cleanup and repair

 

also delete your missioneditor folder in your savedgames location.

 

c:/users/YOURUSERNAME/Saved Games/dcs.openbeta/MissionEditor

 

restart DCS and test.

 

if you still have the same problem please also attach the mission and we will take another look.

 

thank you

[feefifofum]

Everything is normal on my end as well; I tried with USAF Aggressors as both red and blue coalition and performed the steps in the exact order as your video...I could not reproduce the issue at all. :dunno:

 

PsyKONZ, if you compress your dcs.log file into a .ZIP you can attach it directly to your post here. Right click, send to -> compressed folder.

Post the mission file.

[PSYKOnz]

just finished a big cleanup and repair of DCS problem still persisted even after that

 

thought, hmmm I wonder if its in the mission file...

 

opened up a new mission file and the problem went away... USAF aggressors is now staying as it should and working correctly

 

so

 

Post the mission file.

 

here is the mission file

NZArmA Dogfight.miz

In the miz there is no table for USA Aggressors, but it is present where part of the coalition is defined. So it shows up but when the game tries to add units to the mission there is no table to insert that info into. For some reason the coalitions are defined twice in the file and the country list in the briefing and unit creation relies on one of those entries while the actual objects belonging to that country rely on the other entry.

 

Not sure how only one could have been created.

 

["red"] = 
{
   ["bullseye"] = 
   {
       ["y"] = 647798.7173963,
       ["x"] = -134878.54692055,
   }, -- end of ["bullseye"]
   ["nav_points"] = 
   {
   }, -- end of ["nav_points"]
   ["name"] = "red",
   ["country"] = 
   {
       [1] = 
       {
           ["id"] = 0,
           ["name"] = "Russia",
       }, -- end of [1]
   }, -- end of ["country"]
}, -- end of ["red"]

 

["red"] = 
{
   [1] = 0,
   [2] = 7,
}, -- end of ["red"]
