Tried the ST editor, didn't work.

You didn't say to check the data folder.  I checked and it had all of my free content copied from outside of the folder.  All material is working now again.  Thank you so much for your help and patience.

Brief description: A Modifier:Set value MCU with Data[0]=-1, Param index=0 input to an active timer MCU no longer cancels and resets that timer MCU
Detailed description, conditions: Recently, for missions created by the STE, a change in BoS has rendered the use of a Modifier:Set value MCU with Data[0]=-1, Param index=0 as input to an active timer MCU ineffective at canceling and resetting that active timer MCU.  What is curious is that the input now seems to restart that timer at its initial count value.  I've been using this construct, which is documented in the developer notes, for a long time without any problems, and unfortunately all my STE missions use this construct.   As a workaround in some instances I can simply replace the Set value MCU with a Deactivate MCU, though in others the workaround would be horrendous.
Additional assets (videos, screenshots, logs): See the attached group for an example.  This feature was added across builds 3.008 and 3.009 in 2018.

This is a global issue that I have reported before, so I won't get into the specifics, cause it can affect any career. It happened to me in at least 4 careers in different theaters, BoM, Bos, BoK, German and Russian careers alike. Only in BoBP didn't it happen. This bug happens rarely, but it happens under certain circumstances, which I will try to describe

 

So here is the issue : if you transfer to another squadron 3 or 4 times during your career, your pilot will not be able to fly missions anymore, unless he is listed for the first mission on a given day. On any given day, one or two, if not 3 missions can be flown. You can see all of the missions when you begin the day (planning room), with the names of all of the pilots assigned to each mission. If your pilot is supposed to be part of the first mission, it's all good. But if he is listed for the 2nd  or 3rd one, his name will be written off when you actually get to that mission. This is extremely annoying. It generally happens during the final chapter of a career and the bug will persist if you prolong your career in a different theater ( BoS after BoM, for instance)

 

Secondary issues will also happen and precede this one : no promotions for your pilot, no more medals, no more replacements for your squadron (planes and pilots). Actually, during my last career affected by the "no fly" bug, the bug happened after I finally got reinforced.

Noticed an issue in the new AQMB, seems like the protect shipping mission south of Nesterovo always spawns the player fight further away from the boats than the enemy attack flight. Its pretty much impossible to intercept the Emil's before they bomb the ships. I've so far tested with Both the Hurricane and the MiG-3 Airstart, and after multiple tries, the 109 flight always reaches the boats and bombs them before I'm even close. 

 

This seems to be the most reproducable and broken example, but I'm noticing a pattern that a lot of the AQMB missions seem to start the action a bit too early, this is especially apparent when using Runway starts. I'm not versed on the Mission editor but it seems like placing triggers a bit closer or using some time delays may make these missions flow a bit better.

 

Otherwise though, I'm loving this new generator! Definitely a ton of potential here for instant action type missions beyond the basic freeflight/duels. A perfect in-between of the QMB we had and Vander's more in depth EMG.

[Sheriff88]

I really like features of new Advanced QMB. However, one issue is a bit annoying. Unlike basic QMB wherein you can select Official or Custom skins for aircraft in your flight, the Advanced QMB generates flight in generic skin. Only own aircraft skin can be changed.

[JG4_Moltke1871]

In career mode I often have issue with my Lotfe Bomb sight in my Heinkel‘s….. In one case the „Jumping Bomb sight“ bug not go away no matter how often I restart the mission. Only quit and restart the game works.

Also it seems turn on and off the HUD disturb the Bomb sight. 
If it’s the wrong place please remove

I've started career as a member of II/LG2 unit when starting Battle of Moscow.
On October 20th a unit has been transferred from Sychevka airfield (starting base) to Kalinin airfield (as in reality, everything has been ok so far.)
On October 22nd a group of 109E's from this unit were attacking nearby artillery positions behind the front. I haven't played as a leader, so I was surprised that the whole unit dropped their bombs upon take off and returned to the airfield. So I've found the target, drop the bomb and returned back to base.
Confirming step to the next day, October 23rd generated missions from Dugino airfield (see attached screenshots).
How was unit transferred to Dugino without a transfer?

Description: Quoted bug is happening again, @-DED-Rapidus (In my opinion it never been fixed)

Today I've followed the similar scenario as descripted and it's happening again.
I have to politely say that Campaign in the game is piece of crap and I have no intention to play it again!

Reported one year ago and still not fixed!
 

 

[JG4_Moltke1871]

In the AQMB: I tried make a Ju88 dive attack on Target. My AI mates didn’t follow ( automatically the command was coming „hold formation drop on command“ )….. how to make the squad a dive attack instead a level drop?

[jollyjack]

Check it in the ME, or can you post the mission? 

Might be that a Complex Trigger is needed to issue this action? Or Bingo Bombs with a AtackArea or Attack command would do that.

(if you want to reload your corrections, save the mission as "single", otherwise it won't load in the game.

Bugs I am having in AQMB on screen HUD not displaying and object markers not showing plus It’s now impossible to see aircraft until you are very very close 

strangely you can see the aircraft landing lights from miles away but not the aircraft it’s self , these bugs are also in career mode 

[SlowLancer8861]

Ok found a work around for the above bugs once you have started a mission press esc key go into basic settings and unselect and then reselect instruments check box .

this fixes the issues , but you have to do this when you start every mission .

Hi 

 

Don`t know if someone write about this but after last update 4.605b 

 

- FPS drop with strange lag sometime 

- Enemy plane drop bomb in the dogfight only if they are very badly damage ( usualy they run and escape with the bombs put in !!! ) ? 

- Nothing can strike my plane few time flap or aileron hit me and nothing no prop strike or something 

 

all this thing saw in old Single mission generator  

 

Cheers !!!!!

I need the _gen.mission mission file, the file is located in the \data\missions folder

[Yogiflight]

In the first part of the FW 190 A5 Kuban career (Operation Neptune) I encounter Spitfires, which should not appear before part two (Sky over Krymskaja)

_gen.zip

I hope it is the right file.

 

Also there is a wrong German translation 'Bombenanfriff auf Fähre', which would mean 'Bombattack on Ferry'. It should be 'Bombenangriff auf einen Flussübergang'.

It's probably one of the invisible units on the map being generated that's causing this. I'll take a look at it.

I got problem with career mode where the objectives like vehicle column in BoM and Artillery position in BoBP do not spawn, and if I repeat mission same result so squadron is just loitering over the mission area.

Detailed description, conditions: Did the mission towards completion several times now and am unable to finish finish mission. Every time I make it to where we have to withdrawal to, no final prompt activates and the finish missions is red. Have done it several time on normal settings and with invincibility and unlimited ammo on to try to rush through it. Even waited half an hour at the final point for all friendly tanks to arrive and still no successful completion of mission

[-DED-Rapidus]

@Theronnett, thanks, we'll check it out.

[PA_Willy]

Flying in campaign with La-5 Ser.8. First mission from our new airfield. On the runway lined up against a row of trees. All the planes except mine and the last one in the formation crash into the trees on take-off (I almost crashed too).
 

The take-off patterns at Severskaya airfield are very incorrect.

Thanks in advance.

[-DED-Rapidus]

@PA_Willy, do you have the _gen.mission file in the \il2\data\missions\ folder?

[No_Face]

It makes me think that the first mission of my career was strange.

 

My squadron was assigned to a new airfield and I had to land there.

Except that, as the screenshot shows, the new airfield was the same as the old one. I didn't even have to take off to accomplish the mission.

But this screenshot was taken on 2021-12-19, since then there has been a new version and a hotfix I think.

Is it still useful to report this mission?

Sorry. File overwritten.

I have flown several missions since then. But, that bug was with bombload. Later, we have taken off from same airfiled without boms, without crashing. Although the take-off run distance is too short.

Thank you.
