FC ground vehicles

Hi,

 

Just a quick question to see if others have noticed some very odd behaviour with the new WWI ground vehicles added to the Arras may by the quick mission generator?

 

Although ticking the appropriate boxes to add all of the available types of ground unit to the Arras map (save ships which aren't available on a land map) the sim rarely adds any ground units; if I try the F5 key to cycle through those in the vicinity there are rarely any to be seen as if the sim just won't include them. On the few occasions it has deemed to add some it is almost always trains, and on the rare occasions I get some road vehicles they are either chronologically inappropriate WWII vehicles or "off-roading" WWI trucks that don't follow any roads and can be seen driving through woods far from any road where there is obviously no collision model as they drive straight through trees as if they weren't there. On another occasion I've noticed a convoy of trucks driving about 20m parallel to the road, but not on it; it's as if whatever the sim uses to guide the trucks was misplaced in terms of being out of alignment with the graphical depiction of the road surface. I know in ROF the tanks would drive "off-road" but I've never yet seen any of the WWI tanks added by the quick mission generator despite selecting these, just as I have yet to see any of the WWI cars added to the map.

 

I know when first generated vehicles can often be off the road, stationary and facing the "wrong" direction so it is worth giving them a bit of time  simply to be placed by the sim and then get going, but the above issues are clearly more than just this as even after a minute or two there's rarely anything added.

 

So has anybody else noticed this odd behaviour?
