JTAC not working in multiplayer

[msalama]

It seems that clients either can't contact JTAC at all, or when they can, never receive a response. Are there any fixes or workarounds to this?

try to reload the mission once all clients are connected, taken from this thread:

Have you tried starting/loading the mission after all clients have connected to your server?

 

Reloading after everybody is in appears to work

 

Not perfect but ill take it.

 

Thanks for the help

Also try this if starting a server while everybody is in is not possible eg. for late comers etc.

In that case you need to make a waypoint every 10 or 20 minutes for the JTAC with all the advanced wp's for comms, callsign, targets etc. on every wp. That way whenever a new client connects to the server the moment the JTAC passes over a wp he will start feeding info to that client and the client should then have the ability to communicate with JTAC.

It's a ball ache, but a workaround for MP.

Ugh...

 

I know I'm having this issue as well.

 

Just to confirm:

 

I put the vehicle in and make it playable by a client. I create a waypoint and weapon hold. I also pick speed at 0mph. I designate a frequency (FM 30.000) and callsign (Love playboy!)... I create an en-route task and tell it to FAC Engage group... appoint the group (priority0?). I click off "visible" for all assigned groups so that the JTAC doesn't need to have line of sight on the targets. I also make the JTAC vehicles invisible.

 

Is it actually ME screwing up the implementation or is this in line with the overall issue?
