fanqi1234 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) In a multiplayer game, if I select a plane to fly, then go to F10, select myself, and click the acquire control button, I lose control to my plane and the plane's name changes. I can regain control by using the same button but the name does not change back. https://www.youtube.com/embed/v-J2q78qxzU?start=41 Edited December 31, 2019 by BIGNEWY fixed youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 31, 2019 ED Team Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi If combined arms and pilot can control is enabled on the server it is possible to switch out from the aircraft and have the AI replace you. When you switch back you are essentially taking the spot the AI and its name. Hope that explains it. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

That makes sense, but the name changes only in one direction (switching out) but doesn't change in the other direction (switching in). It just feels a bit strange. Also a bit strange is that the name seems to be the map's creator's player name, and sometimes it's something like New Unit...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 3, 2020 ED Team Share Posted January 3, 2020 I will ask the team about it when they are back from their break. Thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Grimes Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 If combined arms and pilot can control is enabled on the server it is possible to switch out from the aircraft and have the AI replace you. When you switch back you are essentially taking the spot the AI and its name. That button is always available to give up control of a unit. Pilot can control is geared toward whether or not players can have access to CA commands while they are in an aircraft. Bug screams of being the same issues regarding player name changes in multicrew aircraft as players join/leave the other seats. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
