Shadow KT Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 CA AI Set Path.trk When you set a custom Path to an AI aircraft, it offsets its 0 WP (own location) somewhere on the map and the AI needs to fly to WP0 first, before going to where you want it to. This also affects giving targets to AI, as the AI will want to go to WP0 before it commits to its attack. 1 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
Flappie Posted April 1, 2023 Posted April 1, 2023 Hi @Shadow KT. I'm seeing the issue in your track but I'm unable to reproduce it when creating my own mission. Any idea? I'll compare our missions in a text editor and see if I can find something. no_bug.trk ---

Flappie Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Good idea, for I've already compared our miz files and couldn't find anything relevant to the issue you're having. ---

K-dot-B Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 This is an issue I'm also struggling with. I found it very hard to nail down the exact steps to make it happen, but I managed to record some tracks (on rare occasions the issue may happen in game, but not on the track). It happens all the time on PG and Syria, but not always on the first try. Syria produced the most erratic behaviour, maybe because it has the densest road system of all the maps. Interestingly, I couldn’t reproduce it on Caucasus. The most useful clue I got is that when the issue happens, the offset WP0 always appears on a road. (Also seen in Shadow KT’s tracks) Here are the results of my most successful tests: Test 1: Add waypoints very close to the aircraft, path works normally: offsetWP0_issue_PG_norm.trk Test 2: Add off-road or on-road waypoints far from the aircraft, error happens. Observe the offset WP0 always appearing on a road: offsetWP0_issue_2_PG_off.trk offsetWP0_issue_2_PG_on.trk offsetWP0_issue_2_Syria_error.trk I did more tests with complex paths, but the track recording never worked with those. This is just speculation, but it seems DCS is tracking aircrafts as being on/off the road system like ground vehicles when adding waypoints with Combined Arms, and this messes up the pathfinding. 2
Shadow KT Posted April 15, 2023 Author Posted April 15, 2023 @Flappie Seems like the issues comes from the load out. At least in the MQ-9 Reaper's case. With no weapons, it follows Set Path commands accurately. With weapons, it experiences the issue described. 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

Shadow KT Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 Would be nice to have this looked, as in its current state AI aircraft cannot be controoled with CA in any way. 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
Flappie Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Hi @Shadow KT . I need a Caucasus track. Could you please try and reproduce this issue over Caucasus? Then I'll report it right away. ---

That said, I can reproduce it 100% on Syria. Is this not reportable, because it happens on a map different from the Caucasus? 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
