JTACs (Predator with FAC) are not working in 1.1.2.1

[STP Dragon]

I want to bring this topic up again because the JTACs (Predator with FAC) are not working in 1.1.2.1 also!

 

I noticed that in my missions and I will try to find out why they are not working.

 

But PLEASE ED Testers: take a look too! :helpsmilie:

We need bribes! Or brides - I can't remember which.

Dragon, do you have a mission I could test?

Hi Panzer,

 

This mission I attached is a edited version of "Thunderstruck" for easy reproduce the problem.

- Please join A-10C #1.1 and take off.

- Then fly north and wait till the Predators are in the air (message will appear).

- Call JTAC:

Enfield - 41.000 FM

Springfield - 42.000 FM

Uzi - 43.000 FM

Colt - 44.000 FM

 

There are up to 13 random enemy Convoys, 15 enemy Roadblocks and 45 random enemy groups in the target area.

The Predators won't report the enemies.

_TEST_.miz

Thanks bud, I'll have a look.

 

PS; a bit ahead of events, but do you know if the realism for the Radio is a factor here?

Hm, offtopic on the issue, but it's a bonus bug perhaps?

Symptoms:

- I made 1 aircraft airstart - and the mission fails with carrier is dead.

Factors:

- "Carrier Endmission Trigger" = no conditions, it's empty.

So the Action "Carrier Dead Endmission Music & Text" is always played at the start.

 

Is this something you've seen as well, Dragon?

In my missions I set all to realistic (no easy radio).

People with easy radio enabled can't connect to the JTAC but this is a other problem I think.

Oh yes, sorry. I deleted the carrier in this edited version and forgot to delete the trigger. But this shouldn't change the JTAC behaviour. :)

Ah, thanks - yes, just wondered if this version of DCS broke your mission in other places too.

Now I'll test some more. Thanks.

[STP Dragon]

Now I'll test some more. Thanks.

 

No, I have to thank YOU! :thumbup:

[Panzertard]

Yes, just to confirm for others looking for the problem:

- Thunderstorms / weather is a factor.

- Clear weather = no problems.

[Panzertard]

Reported.

Thank you Panzer. :)
