Technical Fix - Incorrect Paratrooper Assault Locations

Post by IV/JG7_4Shades » Tue Oct 16, 2012 10:36 am

Hi everyone,

After the second Axis paratrooper drop I was informed that the paratroopers did not appear in the correct locations on the MP map. I checked the eventlog and re-ran the Analyze stage for the mission.

I found a strange intermittent timing bug in the DCS that broke the landing coordinates for human-initiated paratrooper assaults. Two simple lines of code needed changing. I have re-analyzed the mission and the Axis paratroopers are now in the right locations.

Axis and Allied commanders need to revisit the MP to see the changes. I have sent Devill an updated DCS (v6.0.1). Devill still needs to do the Clock Advance to 0600 hours, so don't plan anything until he has done that.

Thanks everyone for the bug reports, it is always good to find and remove these kinds of intermittent bugs.

Cheers,
4Shades
