It looks like I'm not alone.

Hi Pat,

 

Error during AAR processing. Got this last  night. Uninstalled the older version that I was running and installed the newest version. Got it again on my first mission. Thanks.

 

Sorry, can't upload the .zip file.....too big.

 

I searched and found 1 other reference to this from last October (I think) in this thread.

PWCGErrorLog.txt 6.84 kB · 0 downloads

 

Can you post a zip file?

 

The error report is telling me that the log file is malformed.  I need to see exactly where the issue is in the logs to understand what is happening.

The zip file is too big (34MB) to upload here.

 

I can put it in Google Drive if you want to grab it from there.

Sure.  Yikes - 34MB.  

[JoEpinnapples]

Here's the error file I got (happens with all missions now)  I had to extract the zip file then re-zip into more than one zip file as the Forum has a 5MB max attachment size.

Message sent. Thanks.

[PatrickAWlson]

The issue is a truly hosed log line.  Yeah.  I can ignore the log line but that presents other problems.  What is the impact of a missing spawn event?  

 

Anyhow, I put some barriers up to eliminate badly formed log lines.  In the case of @BB-Madman the results seemed to be reasonable.  In the case of @JoEpinnapples it completed the AAR but no events were generated.  The campaign could continue but, unless nothing really happened, the results of the day are not recorded.

 

[BB-Madman]

So....where do we go from here? ?

I put in the protection to at least allow the AAR to complete.  The issue is rare.  Where I see it happening most often is on spawn events.  When it does then that thing that spawned will not be recorded and any victory over it or any victory it could claim will not be recorded.  I could see some downstream errors but to date the tests are running clean.  

 

 

[BB-Madman]

Awesome, thanks!

[JoEpinnapples]

Looked like that fixed it for me.  Manage to submit AAR now and continue my other campaign.  Thanks!

[BB-Madman]

Yup, AAR's again functioning as intended. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the update to V15.0!  However, when I moved from V14.1.4 to V15.0 I lost both campaigns that were currently active.  I can delete both of them when I select "Delete" under "Available Campaigns" in the upper right corner, but neither of them are listed as "Available".  Is there any way to import these so I don't have to start from scratch?  I'm now running both V14.1.4 and V15.0 in parallel, switching back and forth between the two, but would love to continue with those campaigns that I'd started in V14.1.4 to take advantage of the 10x faster mission creation improvements.

 

Thanks for all your help!

[Belgicos]

Hi.

 

The same here. I had 4 active campaigns in V 14.1.4, After the update, 1 is missing. Missing only in aviable campaigns because I can see it in "Delete". I also can see it in...\Il2 sturmovik\PWCGBos\User\Campaigns.

I even can play the last mission of this campaign but just can't continue it.

 

Thanks.

[Snake_61]

So, here's a 3rd one with same issue of disappeared campaigns in single-mode after update to 15.0

Had 5 active campaings, now only two of them are available.

In "delete" window all 5 appears, same as BELGICOS...

 

Didn't try playing the "good" ones, so no info if they work, means if it's possible to continue them.

 

Hopefully there is a fix, I also wouldn't like to loose them since there is good progress

 

Thanks...

[Belgicos]

I confirm available campaigns  can be played and continued. The missing one is playable in the game but can't be continued (of course because it doesn't appear in PWCG).

Finally, I seem to be lucky to have only lost one campaign ?

Ok, good to know...thx Belgicos.

Zip up the campaigns and post them here.  

[Belgicos]

I Pat and thank you for looking at the problem.

 

Here are my campaigns. The one that has disappeared is "Niemen".

 

The other ones work (just tried one but they are in "available campaigns", so I think if one works, other ones work as well)

 Hi,

the difference between the working and not working campaigns is the missing "map name" within campaign.json !

 

1. Example : "initialMap": "NORMANDY_MAP", for "RAF D-Day and Normandie 1944" campaign

                     "initialMap": "MOSCOW_MAP", for "Bitka za Rusiju"

Both campaigns can be found on main screen.

 

2. Example : "initialMap": "NO_MAP", for "Luftwaffe 1942" campaign

Changing manually to "KUBAN_MAP" didn't fix it !

 

All others are not present on main screen.

These are my observations...

 

There was also an update for JAVA, maybe there is a connection ??

Hi Pat and the rest of you all,

 

I have been trying to get a coop campaign started, but with the latest version of PWCG FC 15.0.0 and the latest Java version installed I run into trouble when I try to add new pilots from different users to the campaign.

 

Either this button does not become accessible:

 

Or it does (seems to be random, sometimes it happens when I switch to different squadrons) I get the following error in the error log and a popup warning me that an error occured and it has been logged:

Could anyone point me to a possible solution. I tried to install PWCG and Java from scratch already. Or maybe is there a problem with the current PWCG FC version or Java RTE?

Thanks in advance and especially to you Pat for this amazing tool!

On the opening menu when you launch PWCG, you should see the option "Administer CoOp" You have to create all the users there first. Then on the screen you posted above you match up the Character, you are creating with each user.

Hi Joe,

thanks for the reply. I did exactly that and it worked in the past for me. But now, whenever I try to add any administered coop users to the campaign either of the two problems I described above occur.

 

Additionally here is a screenshot of the error message which I get when the button is accessible:

I gotcha, I just tested it on my end and it worked. I want to say that I ran into this a while back when I was running a coop campaign. I think duplicate names were made or something and it corrupted. It completely broke our coop campaign, was about 15 missions in too :(. because I could not make new pilots for those who died. Every time I tried to create a new pilot I got the same thing you did above. The only thing that fixed it was completely deleting PWCG and installing a new copy. If a fresh install does not work, I'm out of ideas.

Hi there,

I am new to PWCG (v 14.1.4), still getting used to it ... I like it quite a bit! ?

 

I have flown several missions by now in two Soviet bomber careers with me as the flight leader and keep seeing the two following bugs in every mission:

1. My escort flight keeps circling at the rendevouz point, no matter how close I fly by them. They keep circling there until the end of the mission. What am I doing wrong? Do they need a special order to follow my bomber flight?
2. I am not credited with any hits on the targets even if I see that I have destroyed the bridge or parked airplanes on the enemy airfield. I am sure I hit the right target as per mission briefing!

I would be happy if someone had a look on the error log attached below. That mission includes the forever-circling fighter squadron and I have seen in my recorded video that I did hit the bridge target with my fourth bomb but AAR credited me with no target destroyed. That is what happens in every mission: circling escort flight and no destroyed targets credited. Am I doing anything wrong?

Solved #1 myself ... Escort fighters behave correctly, if I use "Air Start" instead of "Runway Start" ... I just have my PE 2 flight follow the initial flight path and altitude until radio message "Flight in combat sector" and after that the fighter circle my flight like vultures and engage attacking enemy fighters as they should. Worked in three missions in a row so I guess that solves this bug, for me at least.

 

Maybe this helpes others as well! Keep it up!

I tried full reinstall also, no dice. Also installed all kinds of versions of Java. Tried on two PCs now, it must be something on my end though because it works for you Thanks for checking!

I want to make sure that we are seeing thew same thing:

When I tried to add a coop pilot, the pilot was created and added to the squadron.  However, he was not associated with the human player and is not available to select when the mission starts.

Is this what you are seeing?

[[DTD]Lonestar501]

Thank you for the reply Pat! I can not even create the extra pilot for additional coop players, as the button to create (circled in red in my first post) is usually greyed out even with all data put in. When I switch around squadrons, sometimes the button becomes clickable, but then the error message (that I posted above) appears and the error log is filled (also attached above). No pilots are added to the roster in that case, neither assigned nor unassigned to any coop players. Only the initial pilot, which was created during campaign creation is available and I can run missions with just him fine.

I was seeing something different.  Can you zip up your campaign and your user\coop folder?  That should fit in a post on this board.

Hi.

 

The same here. I had 4 active campaigns in V 14.1.4, After the update, 1 is missing. Missing only in aviable campaigns because I can see it in "Delete". I also can see it in...\Il2 sturmovik\PWCGBos\User\Campaigns.

I even can play the last mission of this campaign but just can't continue it.

 

Thanks.

The campaigns that have disappeared are still there.  Bug in PWCG that failed to recognize them as BoS campaigns.  I have a fix for that in place and will release soon, so don't delete them.  I wanted to get the coop issue fixed as well.

 

For anybody that doesn't mind editing a JSON file, add this line to the TOP of Campaign.json:
  "product": "BOS",
 

Your campaign will be recognized by PWCG 15.0

I actually uninstalled v15 and reinstalled latest 14 ...

That worked for me as well but  "product": "BOS" is not to add at the top but at the bottom of Campaign.json. and don't forget to add a comma (,) at the end of the precedent line.

 

Thank you very much.

Hi Pat, I've been having the time of my life in the new FC! Amazing work. This is just a request and if its any big hassle at all, don't worry about. I've noticed that on both BOS & FC that the Skin management screen is cut off or only supports up to 10 custom skins for your pilots, while your squad can have more pilots than that. For example, I have 12 pilots in my squad, but can only give the first 10 a custom skin. (See attached picture). I was wondering in a future update if this could be extended to match up with the max # of squad members so everyone can have a custom skin. I was pondering doing a YouTube career series based on the La Fayette Escadrille, I was wanting to use custom skins for the campaign.

 

Thanks again, and completely understand if its a pain to do. Best Regards!

Hi Pat. Small issue, flying JG26 from Coquelles in late Jan/Early Feb, the RAF Spits had soviet markings.

Thanks, as always, for everything you're doing with this for us.
