Issues with glider and carrier operations

Post by II./JG1_Krupinski »

~S~ All,

Got a couple issues I can't determine the cause.

1. If I schedule a carrier task force (carriers & destroyers) to move 10km they will move. After analyze, they are shown in MP at original location WITH a mission to move and you can't cancel the movement or anything.

2. I have gliders spawning at a air_supply WITH half tracks in them. The glider op mission is successful and the units are disembarked AND given a NEW mission. But the ground units involved START the second mission FROM the ORIGINAL spawn point (I.e. the Air Supply point) as if the glider op never happened.

3. I am trying to get aircraft on a carrier in the template. All aircraft that are assigned to the carrier, i.e. a waypoint landing in the template on the carrier then start off in the water. and we get a mission build error of the particular squadron isn't near a carrier or airfield. (IN/NN Dai3, Ch 2 no local airbase could be found [abridged]).

4. Unregistered Transporter g0100 error when I build the mission (refer's to an Me321 glider)

These issues have been found on the very first mission.

Thanks,

Raven

Hi Raven,

Sounds like you have got Fog Of War enabled - that gives you a 1-mission delay on updates to the MP situation map. That alone would explain items 1 and 2. I recommend that people use Fog Of War OFF until they are very experienced with SEOW.

Item 3 is likely to be about the specifics of carrier template design. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect that the flights assigned to land on the carrier have not had their green SET reticle placed on the target carrier. In a template, you can only successfully land aircraft on a carrier by placing each flight's SET reticle on the target carrier. There is also a chance that your problem here may be a bug in the Fog Of War code for carrier operations, so setting Fog Of War OFF may fix this too.

The blame for this lies with me. It has been some time since I released a new patch for SEOW (RL issues getting in the way), and I have forgotten what fixes I have made to my new code set in the interim!

Cheers,

Thanks for the info, it was an issue with Fog of War.

What about the error, Unregistered Transporter g0100? Do I need to let SE know in the DB that this aircraft is being used? Where so?

I get another, Unregistered Transporter Infrastructure as well.

Best regards,

Raven
