[rmk80]

Yes, this is such an annoying issue

Reproduced, but only on a dedicated server.

Tracks don't show the problem since this only happens when the mission is hosted on a dedicated server.

 

 

This is PMcG's mission from his tracks.

 

Question, If this is a problem on dedicated server then why is there no update to fix this ASAP. Two weeks since the last update and still no update to fix it. Why?

 

[Flappie]

It was supposed to be fixed back in August. I cannot check right now because I'm on holiday. Can you confirm you're still seeing this bug?

Hi Flappie it is still there. I noticed it as soon as I last updated. I thought it might be on my end so I did a or tried to do a repair on my Dedi Server and keep getting this.

Ok. I'll give it a go as soon as I get back home (one week or so).

Happy holidays flappie! I can confirm on my groups server, we cannot fly with an AI wingman on our side because they never take off, the ai wingmen cold start and all but stay at ramp. I mean I can fly the whole 1:30 mission and come back and he will be sitting in the same spot

I am having the same problem it seems as everyone else, but with a twist. I run missions from a local server (my computer) and tried to run a mission with four groups, each consisting of four aircraft, with the lead aircraft in each group set as client. The mission starts perfectly with all aircraft spawning in, when I taxi my  AI group will follow me correctly. When the client taxies in any other group apart from mine the AI element of the group do not move. As a test we re-started the mission and changed groups again when I taxied my new group taxied with me but NONE of the other AI aircraft followed their client leader.

I have not tried the same test on a dedicated server but suspect the out come will be that NO AI aircraft will follow their client lead.

I suspect that because the mission is running on my machine when in multiplayer this allows just me to lead an AI group, but prevents other clients from leading and AI group.

When run on a dedicated server I feel that none of the clients will be able to lead an AI group.

Any updated news on this issue?

Edited December 8, 2021 by Wood

[Flappie]

I'm back and I just had a go at it.

I confirm this is still happening. I'll create a new bug report.

EDIT: done.

My AI wingman won’t take off from the carrier (hasn’t been able to for a long time now) on local machine dedicated server but will do from an airfield.

Am I encountering the same bug?

[Flappie]

If your issue is still here with the next OB update, please bump this thread (a fix is coming).

[Flappie]

This issue should be fixed in today's OB update.

[makosch]

Just found this thread. Are AI Wingmen now taking off for you guys when using a dedicated server to host a mission? Still present for me and I am running latest OB on Dedicated Srv and Client.

cheers

Ramp

[Flappie]

Please attach your mission.
