RedeyeStorm Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I have a weird situation. I am playing a DCE campaign with the F16 on the PG map. I am running the mission on the dedicated server on the same pc as the game. When I am starting up or shortly after start taxi there is an explosion and my plane is damaged and off course within a minute al fuel is drained. No other warnings. I tested the same airfield in SP and there is no issue. The problem has occured on different spawns on the same airfield (Abu Dhabi intl). Haven't checked other maps or airfields. I ran a repair of both DCS Open beta and the server. Issue persits. Any one else or is it just at my end? Edited January 14, 2023 by RedeyeStorm Nature of problem found changed.

RedeyeStorm Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 There was no enemy action. I was idling on the ramp waiting for my takeoff time. That’s what makes it weird. No enemy’s around.

No enemy’s around. what caused the explosion? explosions are usually equal opportunity. i had this happen before. not sure what caused it but i was disabled by a ground incident. i think it was pretty random.

RedeyeStorm Posted January 8, 2023 Author Posted January 8, 2023 No idea. The plane doesn't move or rock at all. There is just a bang sound, no fire or smoke, debris flies around and the fuel drains.

RedeyeStorm Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 @Flappie I have a question. How do I make a short track on a dedicated server? I know I can save a track while in SP (there is a button on the menu after mission exit, but There is none when leaving server.

RedeyeStorm Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 @BIGNEWY, thanks. I had this happen in SP as well. In sp it was reported that my F16 was damaged as a result of a Scud impact. My airfield was under attack by them. In the track file I added I think it was also the result of a Scud impact. I think the 'bug' may be more related to the Scud then anything else. In the track the Scud impacted in the twon behind my spawn point. My F16 was damaged at the same time of the impact. My aircraft had a lot of buildings between it and the explosion. but got damaged. If you wait a bit a second Scud impacts the airfield to my front but causes no (aditional) damage. Not sure what can be considered a bug. The very tiny explosion when a Scud impacts or the damaged caused over a long range without any visual component. server-20230113-115501.trk 1
