Andúril(Flame of the West) Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Uncontrolled AI startup on Ramp in the Sinai F-16s: I have used multiple aircraft in 2.8 Open Beta and set up each aircraft the same. I set up the same aircraft on Sinai's Ramon and Ben Gurion Airbases. Just to Start, Taxi, Takeoff, Fly waypoints, and land. My effort to provide some realism in my simulations. Every time I set up at Ben Gurion, the AI aircraft will function as advertised, but on Ramon Airbase, the aircraft starts but does not roll. The pilot keeps looking around. And at times in my efforts, it has worked, even when setting it up the same way. I create the Aircraft, Place it, Choose "Start On Ramp", and it adjusts itself to its parking spot, I tick the Uncontrollable box for the unit, Then navigate back down to choose arms, and then next tab over, I set up the Start Trigger. I then set the waypoints, with Landing being the last point, and go ReTick the Uncontrollable check box. Then I go to the Trigger Screen, Create the ONCE, and Name it, with a Condition of Time Over by 30 seconds. Then I go to the third window and associate the correct trigger from the correct unit for this trigger (Usually when testing, only one anyway). Straightforward. Works at times and not at others. My thoughts are behind the scenes, out of site; it is putting together a LUA script by what we tick and type—putting this into a Script File. Is there something I need to make sure I go in the correct order to ensure this works 100% of the time? And yes, I retick Uncontrollable every time, I know that is infamous. Strangely, the aircraft "usually always" starts, so it is triggered, but the aircraft does not roll to a taxi. Does not move. Yet I have set it up exactly how I set up the aircraft at the other base (Ben Gurion). I also have made sure that the correct coalition is correct. Both of these bases are Israeli, and both I use Israeli F-16s. I have found that it has nothing to do with the aircraft. I have tested with what order I set up and made sure I name everything. Nothing seems to change the situation, and sometimes it works unbelievably. I am using OpenBeta. Ramon Airbase is smaller but has a full-service ILS, etc. The taxis appear wide enough, and using a Player Aircraft, it works fine. And sometimes, I have gotten it to work. Once it works, it works. So I am very puzzled. Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone who does this setup frequently add anything to what I am talking about? The DCS World PDF really does not give a step-by-step on this setup. It provides what the selections and tabs are for, but nothing sequential or instructive. Very strange. There could be one thing I am missing. Thanks for any help to allow me to understand exactly what the process is or why it is not rolling. That is what is key. It is triggering but not taxing. Are Airbases only built for particular aircraft is that it? Is the AI saying, Hey, you are trying to fly an F=15 at Ramon AFB, which is a No-Go?
