reported Combined Arms ERROR - Unable to enter vehicle: vehicle control is not available

[jackd]

What am i doing wrong in starting the Watch and Wait - DAC Channel default mission?

Controllers work fine with planes ...

[Flappie]

It's a mission error: the "player can drive" box should be ticked. The issue is now reported.

Thanks for the heads up.

I had that on, but i will check it ... and yep, it was off again, and i got it to move, now for setting up axis controllers ...

I got to do some basic road running now. but how do you save the adapted (player can drive enabled) Mission Planner, and where is it saved, and named to what?

(I have my Saved Games files with the diff.lua scriptfiles not on my windows boot Saved Games, but on a specific games hard-disk partition.)

My first attempt in the mission editor, place the attached file here for a Willys sight seeing trip through London WW2 in a nice summers atmosphere.:

......... \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Missions\CombinedArms\Single

Be warned, you'll be overrun by trucks, busses, even on park footpaths, and halfway 'cross bridges your Willys will submerge, but it's fun.

You'll need Normandy 2.0, WW2 Assets Pack, and Combined arms, and if you're an experienced ME expert, please add to this mission.

Use the mouse to view the progress of Willie in London.

UPDATED version:  WWII CA Willie in London v4.zip

The trick is start the mission, pause and press F10, then set this at the top bar on the map :

Then press F7 'till you get this view:

Tune your driving controllers, i have left/right and engine power set to 2 Axis' on my Warthog throttle,

accelerator pedal RZ reversed, and tune Left/Right curvature to 59 BTW, and gear shifting to buttons to select forward and reverse.
