214th_Silverfox Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I have built several multiplayer missions over the last year that have worked with out a problem. Now I am seeing a problem with all the missions I am building. Everything looks fine at the startup for a multiplayer mission. I select the aircraft, load ordinance select the fly button as always but instead of entering the aircraft I end up with external views of the AI's. When I hit the RCVR button it shows text of my aircraft crashing several times. All my old missions work fine. Any suggestion other than a reinstall?

ZoomBoy27 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Are you sure that you are listing the mission flyer as "CLient" because that's the type of error you'd get if you leave it at "Player" ZoomBoy My Flight Sims Page - Link to My Blog - Sims and Things - DCS Stuff++ - Up-to-Speed Guides to the old Lockon A10A and Su-25T - Some missions [needs update]
214th_Silverfox Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 Yes everything is how it should be. Checked and rechecked. The funny thing is that the Client aircraft do not show up in the aircraft list. I have removed all that appear in the list then when I go in to the game there are aircraft showing available.

214th_Silverfox Posted August 13, 2005 Author Posted August 13, 2005 I just uninstalled and reinstalled 1.1FC. Still same problem. I replaced the missioneditor.dll with a new one and the MEditor.cfg. It is wierd. Everything in the mission is where it should be except for Multiplayer aircraft. Silverfox VMF-214 http://patuxent-rugby.com/blacksheep/index.php
Gazehound Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Encountered this bug many times online. 'spawning bug' on public servers means you have to eject sometimes and then recover as you are stuck in airport view, and is one of the great mysteries of the modern world :) Think it might beto do with departure times not registering correctly. We have had missions that work fine on the 504 server until a small change is made (like moving a ground unit), then it all goes a bit wonky. VVS504 Red Hammers
214th_Silverfox Posted August 13, 2005 Author Posted August 13, 2005 Rgr..thanks for the response. Well guess I will start from a clean install for both LOMAC and FC. Cant hurt. Silverfox VMF-214 http://patuxent-rugby.com/blacksheep/index.php
coldcrew Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 yes it's a weird known bug. Most of the time it means you have to redo the mission. Nowadays when I'm making multiplayer missions I always test the initial mission to see if it's working properly before I even continue. I think it helps if you add the aircraft first as client before doing anything else (but it's just my guess). You might not be able to do the testing if you don't have two computers tho.
