FS_Fenice_1965 Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Issue Tipe: 3 Edition: Topic: Stats Issue: Details: May be interesting to insert a chapter about setting up stats for a multiplayer server. The readme included with Il2_stats is difficult for most people. A step by step guide would help most willing to setup a server. I know it's a side matter, but would complete the multiplayer server guide. Outstanding work btw. Discussion Edited November 30, 2016 by FS_Fenice_1965 1

Victor_Chevic Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Issue Type: 2 Edition: Pre Release Edition One Topic: Sample Missions And Groups For FME Manual Issue: They won’t open Details: When I try to open a sample mission I get the message “Error reading file,” so I went to the missions in the game itself and tried to open them there, with no luck. I then went to where there are screen shots of the sample missions in the manual. “Attack a Defended Factory” on pg. 125, as one example. I was hoping there might be some info there on how to open it, but no luck. I went to “Sample Missions and Group,” on pg 7, but that was no help either. On the “Groups,” they became available in the library and I could place them in the view port, but they were “inanimate.” As an example, the “Damage Display Switch;” when I clicked on say one of the timers to get properties, nothing happened. Its not clickable. I’ve spent two nights pouring through the Manual , which I already had printed out and bound in a note book (all 300+ pages) and was unable to come up with a solution.

JG4_dingsda Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Issue Type: 2 Edition: Pre-Release Edition One Topic: Play Video Issue: Format not valid anymore Details: IL-2 now uses webmplayer to display videos. Unfortunately the filter in the media operator advanced properties dialog still asks for .bik. So it has to be a webm video that is saved with a .bik-fileextension. (Will report this to mission editor bugs as well, if I can find that section ) Discussion: 1 2

Thanks for the feedback and for working on the German version J99_Himmelhund. I'm not working on an update at the moment. Hopefully, I'll have an opportunity to pick it up again in the future and port it over to WordPress. The force complete command Priority option works as written for lights, as demonstrated in this simple mission (press F12 to access camera focused on lights): JimTM - Test Force Complete Lights.zip Do you have a mission where the lights don't come on?

J99_Himmelhund Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Hi there, Thanks for the answer! Then I have definitely misinterpreted this command ?! I thought it could be used to end a command that is currently being executed. I noticed that AI’s do not execute commands if they are already executing another command (higher priority?). I then used Force Complete Command and then gave the new command. I was hoping to learn more about it here. The command not only offers the settings 'high' and 'low', but also 'medium'!
IckyATLAS Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 It is true that Force Command can be used to end a command that is actually been used. For example if you have planes attacking an area you can by using a Force Command MCU have them stop the attack and do something else. Force Command has a double usage depending on what it is applied.

Hi Icky, can you, if you have the time, explain those 2? When trying to get the beast to do what i want, it seems to have a mind of it's own, just like our English bull-terrier. Tell that one to come a long, and she stands stiff with four legs glued to the ground, or turns around for some route she wants on her own, especially homewards if it rains. Being only interested in edibles and cats killing. Quite like the Force Complete command maybe?

jollyjack Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Saw both, thanks, Jim's manual has an offset in my Sumatra PDF reader, 252 is what you mean i think about the light switching. What i am trying to do is have an Ai bomber follow along a route, and bomb 3 sequential atackarea CMDs, with moving trains, and bridges. I got it partly working, a stop command after each area with a coufter and 2 timers. , but got too much cycling after the force complete command targetting the following waypoint.: PS PS your tips about the low settings for the train WPs: flak now is perfect, works like hell and they shoot like mad. Plane set to vulnerable, and latter even crashes with wings shot off etc. LoL. Amazing piece of software, this FMB for Il2 ... Edited January 20, 2020 by jollyjack
Charon Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Jim, the sample missions no longer load in the mission editor. The issue seems to be that they lack the new Haze field. If you have a unix environment, I think they can all be fixed at once with: sed -i '/ *Pressure.*/a\ \ Haze = 0;' */*.Missions If not, let me know and I can attach the revised files.

I resaved the missions for v4.601 in the opening post for the manual. Edited May 15, 2021 by JimTM 1
