Do you mind sharing your script so I can quickly reproduce the issue?

Buzzer1977 · January 26

env.info("--airbases----------------------------------------------------------")
for k, airbase in pairs(world.getAirbases()) do
env.info("----------------------------" .. airbase:getName() .. "----------------------------")
env.info("- CAT: " .. tostring(airbase:getCategory()) .. " - exCAT: " .. tostring(airbase:getCategoryEx()) .. " - Desc: " .. tostring(airbase:getDesc()))
env.info("------------------------------------------------------------")
end

I've added a sample mission and the dcs.log of the sample mission

Thank you! Issue reported.

Hi everyone,

When I was using the PAD Single object and retrieving its Airbase.getCategoryEx, I expected it to return Helipad. But currently, it returns Ship.

You can reproduce the issue using the attached .miz.

When you launch the mission, it will display the names, types, and type codes of all airbases in the mission.

The code running in the .miz is shown in mission.lua.

Please let me know if you need more details.

Oops, my bad, I searched but couldn't find that post. Thanks again for your help.

Cheers.

The search engine is broken in this part of the forum. At the root of "Bugs and problems", it only returns "Game performance bugs" threads. I reported this issue but it did not help. I'll bump my report.
