P47D-22 in editor while not bought.

[jollyjack]

Was comparing various fighter planes. Rhineland Summer map, exactly the same mission, only the player plane type changed.

Spits, Hurricane, P51, P38 all OK. But after putting in a P47D22 the mission loads OK in the ME, not in the game.

Won't show in the missions column there. Also with Mods off.

Tried several times changing Player plane, only the Jug version won't load.

 

Any explanation?

I assume this is for single player. Verify in the Advanced Tab of the specific plane that you want the player to use, is set to 'player' in the ai controller. Additoinaly, make sure no other plane is set to 'player'. (There should only be one player plane.) See image:

 

 

If the plane is correctly set to player, and all the other planes are correctly set to ai and it's still not working... Then post your mission files here for us to take a look at.

Actually it's zeev's Freeflight mission. Great for testing fighter planes.

here are two, the P38 works on my PC, the P47D not.

 

PS i had this occasionally with other missions too BTW

I've downloaded the mission, opened it in my game to test it (before working on fixing any problems), and it works perfectly fine for me. Do you not own the P47D22? If you don't, you can't play the mission.

 

Here's me in the nice little fat bottom girl - The P47D22. Maybe you don't own the D22?

weird, that should be be it: I dont have the razorback.

i have only the (non normandy) p47D 28 version ...and in the ME the 22 shows, but the 28 is there also.

I changed the plane in the ME, but the mission still wouldn't load in the game itself.

But after deleting the mtreecache it does ... thanks for your time.

 

.. Probably a bug then?

Hi Bug-Crew

 

4.503: The P47-22 is present in the ME, but i only have the P47-28. Confused, accidentally chose it, but missions then won't load in the game.

You can use a plane that you do not own in the editor as an AI plane, but not a player plane (which is probably why your mission did not load).

Ah, but you can select the P47D-22 and set it to playable in the ME without owning it; see pic:

 

 

Of course it won't work, only with the P47D-28.

Yes, that's normal behavior. You can make missions for anyone, but you can only play missions for the planes you own.

???

If your plane is not available, then this mission will not be shown in the list of missions in the game.

[jollyjack]

Yep, i discovered that, stupid me .... maybe it should not appear in the ME also.

You can still use it as an AI plane, so it still needs to be there.

[jollyjack]

ah. thnx, but the problem was you can (accidentally) select it as player, while not "owning" it. Same with the c74, it's not even a player (yet?):

So you may build a mission for your friend who has the plane... What's wrong with that?

 

Cut it out please, it helps no-one to clog the bug report thread with irrelevant stuff.

Dude.  The ME is a power tool and of course it lets you shoot yourself in the foot in various ways, not only this.  It can't predict why you are doing something, and as stated, maybe you want to make a mission for users who do have that plane.  I've done that and would not want the ME to be a nanny about it.  With great power comes great responsibility, and all that.  If it hurts when you do that, don't do that.  Etc. etc. etc...

yep, you're both right .... sorry
