missing info Trains NOT synchronized in multi player

Wildhare · March 5, 2023

The group of "clients" can not see the same Train (engine & cars) at same time or the same state (damage or undamaged) moving or stopped.

most can see the Train as it moves down the track until it is shot. then all bets are off.

I have developed a mission in multi player to hunt down and destroy a train. You can use any AC of your choice and any weapon of your choice. In multi player we chose AH-64s, a pack of 4, with 8 humans, no AI. MY AH-64 was the first to locate the train. i was CPG. My pilot positioned us to destroy the train. For some reason i could not hit it with missiles or gun. So pilot took over the gun, and shot. The train exploded and was on fire...sort of...because it continued to move down the track. The train the pilot hit did in fact get destroyed, I saw it get destroyed and i also saw the train continue down the track. in my view it was not damaged, the pilot continued to hit the stopped train and completely destroyed every car. in my view he was shooting at nothing. in his, the engine/cars were on fire and exploding on cue. for me nothing but empty air. i could see the train still in the distance as it left the area undamaged.

The rest of the group arrived at the scene and some could see the burning hulk of train, others could not. others wanted to chase the train in the distance.

we have since flown this mission again. Each time similar results. never have all eight of us, seen the train at the same place or same time or same state. it is a crap shoot of who can or cant.

we have also tried smaller groups, different Aircraft and all have the same results.
