Map: Assault on Mineral 'nye Vody, weird comms error!

[KosPilot]

This map is only partially complete, so I'll post gain when all the bugs are weeded out :D

 

When running this map on our TOG MP server, any attempt to communicate from BLUE Ka-50 to BLUE FARP ATC is crashing the MP server. EVERY TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS. Rearm, refuel and repair = OK.

Ka-50 to airports ATC works fine.

RED Ka-50 to RED FARPs ATC works fine.

 

When I am running the map locally (MP but not online, I have not figured out my router) for testing EVERYTHING works just fine.

 

The person who is running the server and another simmer college wrote that they got an error message when opening the map and then saving it again in their Mission Editor:

"Kos, I tried to open the map in mission editor and save it as you discussed, but when I do it generates an error along the lines of 'invalid frequencies' and lists a bunch of radio frequencies that all look to be set to the same value."

 

I have installed DCS:W on my laptop. This is a fresh install with no previous DCS products ever installed. I then downloaded the mission from our forum, unpacked it and ran/saved it through Mission Editor without getting any error messages or problems.

 

Can any of you guys please have a look and tell me what is going on here?!

MMm, I had the error trying to re-save it. The radio frequency error is caused by the radio frequency box changing from VHF AM for AI to a UHF AM when client or player skill level is selected. The frequency of 136.000 is an invalid frequency for UHF AM. Changing it back to valid UHF frequencies will solve that issue. You should be able to use prepare mission to get the frequencies for the correct airbase.

 

Does the FARP ATC crash occur only with clients?

[KosPilot]

Hi Grimes,

 

I think the crash only happens with clients. If it doesn't crash locally with you, that is most likely the case.

The server crashes only when blue Ka-50 contacts blue FARP ATC.

 

Thank you for your advise :) I will fix up the A-10C client frequencies, but that may still not fix the Ka-50 comms issue.

[KosPilot]

I guess because I have no DCS A-10C module installed (only BS & CA), I cannot edit UHF/VHF for A-10C flights in Mission Editor.

It does not make sense to have different attributes to the Mission Editor depending on what modules are installed!? How can I contribute evenly to the community if that is the case :cry:

 

The Ka-50 module may or may not be installed on the server.

The mission editor attributes do not change according to the module(s) installed. If this is your experience then it's most likely a bug.

 

The comms on AI aircraft have been a problem for a while. An alternative method would be :-

In the advanced waypoint actions of the initial waypoint of the A10c , place a switch frequency command and put in the appropriate frequency.

Hi Druid, that's a good idea :) Thanks!

Back from the dead...

 

Sorry for the necropost but I'm guessing this one never got fixed:

 

 

Just placing a client here... I think I switched it over from a "high" skill setting. Any chance this is getting fixed or do we just keep working around it?
