Parkour Posted May 1 Posted May 1 (edited) I have been unable to get JTACs to work in multiplayer on a dedicated server when not using any scripts. I am only using the mission editor Advanced Waypoints options. I have tried all the troubleshooting in the thread below, but at no time while in a multiplayer section does the JTAC respond. In addition, the JTACs will only display their vehicle type (not their callsign) in the manu (occurs with easy comms on or off). There has to be some bug in the way a dedicated server is handling JTACs as the same exact mission will work perfectly in Single Player with the JTAC responding to comms as well as being displayed by their callsign in the comms menu. Please Eagle Dynamics, look into this issue as it essentially makes JTACs useless in multiplayer without resorting to scripting. Posting this as the other thread is marked "fixed" but it is obviously not. Attached is a simple JTAC test mission used on a dedicated server as well as the mission from the thread below that also does not work on a dedicated server. Thanks!

Parkour Posted May 3 Author Posted May 3 Does anyone have a .miz that utilizes JTACs that are confirmed to work on a DEDICATED server as of May 1st?? Not single player. Thanks!
Flappie Posted July 19 Posted July 19 I saw your issue and simply moved the "ROE = HOLD FIRE" instruction at the top of the pile. It works in MP now. JTAC Test_MP_fix.miz
Chipensaw Posted July 21 Posted July 21 (edited) @Flappie, would you mind having a look at my mission? Unable to get a response from JTAC when hosted on a Fox3 dedicated server. JTAC appears in the comms menu, pilot will contact JTAC for check in but gets no response. Thank you. dcs.log LSOJulychipmodv3-20250721-170059.trk LSOJulychipmodv3.miz Edited July 22 by Chipensaw Attached log and track file
Flappie Posted July 23 Posted July 23 (edited) @Chipensaw Tested with today's update. It works fine in MP on my server (tested with the "Easy Rhino" slot and the 135 AM frequency). Edited July 23 by Flappie

Oddly enough, when my friend hosts it, I'm able to see the names of the JTACs which leads me to believe that it's something on my side. I decided to rip out DCS and reinstall since I hadn't done so since the stable and openbeta versions merged. Any idea if there's something on my end that may be breaking this? We've tried several missions, including the attached simple mission we created that has the same behavior as the test: when I host, my friend can't see JTAC names, but when he hosts, I can. Any insight you guys have would be incredibly helpful. testjtac.miz
