Speedbrake Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I set up a mission with multiple JTAC tasking, i.e. multiple targets. When setting up the advanced data, the tasks are in numerical sequence order, 1-9. After flying the mission and going back into the ME I've noticed that all advanced tasks now ALL bear the sequesce number 1 and when flying it again, only the first task is accomplished then JTAC tells me "No further tasking" and releases me. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hard to tell without seeing the mission :) EDIT:- Also please keep to one forum when asking for help.

Speedbrake Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Nate, I just uploaded the mission to the user files. The first time through all seems to go well. After that it seems JTAC only tasks you with the first target. As I said when going back into the ME all advanced waypoint data seems to have defaulted to "1". I wans't sure which forum to use for this as I am not sure it is a bug or my ME programming. Edited October 27, 2011 by Speedbrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just attach the mission to your next post in the advanced options. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbrake Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Nate, I just rechecked and without even flying the mission just opening it again in the ME appears to make all advanced tasks default to "1". When you look at the EDIT of each line. You may have to change the suffix to .miz if it doesn't download correctly. I just reset the advanced tasks to 1-9 and saved the mission. http://www.4shared.com/file/hR4IQOK9/SB_JTAC_Live_Range.html Edited October 27, 2011 by Speedbrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Not quite sure what you mean by sequence number. The sequence, or order of the commands, is the sequence they are arranged in the advance tasks.

Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I moved the JTAC away from the enemy, he was far too close, causing aborts. The mission ran fine, all units were tasked to be destroyed. Note you may have to wait a min after getting an abort for the Jtac to provide another target.

Insanatrix Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) You can specify a priority number in the JTAC menu Nate. I think that's what he was talking about. Edited October 27, 2011 by Insanatrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You can specify a priority number in the JTAC menu Nate. I think that's what he was talking about. You'll have to show me a picture of that - I'm not sure what you are trying to describe.

Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ahh I see. That option is not available in the "Assign group" waypoint action that he is using.

Insanatrix Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Well I have tried using it before and it doesn't seem to work. Is it intended to assign Target priority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think it is that Target Priority of enemy units the Jtac can currently see. Remember the "Engage Group" command is dependant on the JTAC having line of sight. So if the JTAC has 10 groups with "Engage Group" and can only see 2 of them (say with priorities of 3 and 8 ) the JTAC will assign the lower priority Group First. However I may be wrong. EDIT:- I am wrong the manual says "The PRIORITY number is used to set the action priority in relation to other actions of the waypoint. The priority number represents the order this action will take relative to other actions, starting with '0' as the highest priority.

Insanatrix Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So the higher the priority number the lower the ACTUAL priority the target is given if I understand you right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yeah, and that applies to the order of commands in the advanced waypoints list too.

Speedbrake Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Nate, did you run through the mission a second time, that is when it appears that the JTAC will only offer up the first target, or it did for me, twice. I'll mod the position of the JTAC and see if that solves what I was seeing. Is there a maximum or minimum distance associated with the ground JTAC? I may be wrong with what I said about the number "1" defulting as I was looking at the advanced waypoint-edit sub side box number which I thought needed to be advanced with each command which is what I set but then upon reviewing each advanced waypoint command in "edit" it had reset back to "1"..

I Don't know, it just seemed to me that the JTAC was far too close to the initial targets, on my first run of the mission I actually took him out by mistake :) I ran the mission several times successfully (after I moved the JTAC though).

Speedbrake Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Nate.................you hit the JTAC???? I haven't done that..it makes me feel much better about my skills! LOL! I trust you were using all sensors to targt???? Thanks for your help, I'll post if the problem went away after I move Warrior 1. Oh one other comment, it may have happened because I told JTAC I only had 15 miutes of play time. Does the program actually look at that to make target assignment decisions? I may have used up my 15 minutes taking out the first target and repositioning??? Edited October 28, 2011 by Speedbrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysim Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 i just use the 60 min option and sign out when im empty or targets are dead. Would like to know if there is any diffrence selecting 15 more, might need to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbrake Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I moved my JTAC as Nate suggested but I also used 30 and 45 minutes and the problem (JTAC) dismissing me after the first attack has not reoccured. I'm beginning to think it must have been using only 5 minutes play time. Although with the old JTAC position, I did get a couple of aborts but that was also when JTAC told me it was Type 1 rather than the normal Type 2 attack.
