Perfect, thank you. I'm compiling a lot of changes to be made for KG 51, so this will be one of those fixes.

Brief description:  Kobayashi Maru mission.
Detailed description, conditions:  Stalingrad A20 career, first mission after the cauldron is formed.  Flight of A-20's is sent to destroy a bridge that is already destroyed, no primary target.  Before and after dropping bombs on targets of opportunity the entire Luftwaffe arrives and follows the A-20's (Specifically lead flight) 60 Km back to base resulting in total destruction. Tried this mission several times, sent the rest of the flight home (RTB) before the 2nd waypoint to make a quick one man strike on a non-existent bridge, nothing makes a difference, the entire Luftwaffe follows you home (3-4 flights of 109s/190s, something like 20 aircraft in total), focused like lasers on the lead bomber (player).

Thank you, the problem is clear, we will solve it soon)

[Yogiflight]

Maybe one or two years ago, when you were flying ground attacks or bombings, your fighter escort was flying away after the player had landed (after the escort leader gave the command to rejoin formation and go on with the mission). This was one of the things, which added some immersion to the missions. It was changed to the fighter escort will now land on your airfield, too. Also the additional fighter flight 'Adler' (Eagle), which in most missions is fighting somewhere, lands on the players airstrip, even if it is far away from the frontline and any fighter bases. Can you change this, so they fly away again and either despawn after some time or simply fly away until the player ends the mission?

Also something, which was there earlier, the command to rejoin formation and go on with the mission by your flightleader, when a ground attack job was done and he wanted to RTB. Now the AI simply turns away and leaves, so the player always has to look, do they turn away after an attack run to fly a circle for the next attack run or do they turn away to RTB. The behavior to give this command for RTB still exists. You can hear it given by the flightleader of a ground attack flight, when you are flying in the fighter escort. It just doesn't exist anymore, when you are in the ground attack flight. This command would also be nice, when you are in a dogfight and the flightleader wants to go on with the mission. This would help, that players are not constantly left alone after dogfights and ground attacks.

Brief description:  Sopwith Camel - The Last Patrol mission.
Detailed description, conditions:
1. At 10.45 hr (time on clock in cockpit) there is a sudden violant movement of the player's plane, not so for the AI planes.
2. After shooting down the two DR1 planes the briefing says 'Return to Base' but the flight leader keeps flying in circles within the target area (forever?). There is no contact made with the other ennemy flights.
3. When the player starts heading back to base following the (only) track that is shown on the map (WP2 to WP1) there is a sudden fast forward movement of the plane. As if the player has activated the Accelerate time button.
4. Exciting the mission with ESC key won't work, the mission hangs. The game has to be stopped in the Task Manager.
5. Also noticed that none of the ground objects (trucks, trains) are moving.

Detailed Description: BOBP P38 career - escort mission of B 25 Bombers -

After the successful bombing the flight of 9 B 25 returned to their base with rughly 180mph (crusing speed should be about 230mph after consulting some literature)

The outmost right and left planes let their bom bays open and empty for the whole return flight time

I don't know the exact location of the _gen.Mission

 

If someone could give me the advice, I should post them in addition (I heared they will be overwritten wiht the next mission so I only had a free flight after this in QMB - maybe it's not overwritten yet))

 

PC Configuration: No issues withe the pefromance in the mission - so I guess it lies in the mission or A.I behaviour

 

[-DED-Rapidus]

@easterling77, the track is enough, if you have recorded a track, then the mission is already in the folder with the track.

[easterling77]

Thanks for the answer.

I have to apologize - I didn't record the flight, just made these screenshots - and meanwhile I went on with missions so the file should be overwritten.

My fault?‍♂️

 

But thanks for the info about the record, next time I will start recording such instance.

Ju-88c AQMB Intercept attacker mission waypoints are too low, Air Starts will result in the planes immediately hitting the ground. 

 

Seems to only affect the 88c Intercept attacker missions. All the other aircraft and missions seemed to work ok.

[Yogiflight]

After more than 10 traffic interdiction missions with the Bf 110, I have to say they are not what they should be. In the way they are currently running, they are the same the ground attack missions were before the fighter escort was implemented for the 110. We got intercepted every single mission, usually before reaching the target zone, only three times we were able to start ground attacking before the Russian fighters attacked.

_gen.zip

 

It surely happened that those missions were intercepted, but this should not be the rule, otherwise those missions do not make sense without fighter escort.

Additionally, the 110 should, like in the other ground attack mission types, attack more in the depth of the enemy territory. In the two missions we started attacking ground targets before we were intercepted and I was not the flightleader, we attacked targets at the frontline, which would be more the target area of the Schlachtflieger.

As I am squadron leader meanwhile, I will take my pilot out of traffic interdiction missions, because the way they are running, it only makes sense flying them without bombs, with less fuel and at higher altitude, as they are nothing but free hunt missions. And that is really sad, because this mission type would promise interesting missions.

Additionally you usually fly some detours through friendly territory, you wouldn't fly IRL, like one can see here:

As I was flightleader in this mission, I shortened the route by heading towards Vertyachy in square 0821 9 and then turning left behind it. That way we enterd the target zone from the same direction without flying sightseeing.

Three issues I'm starting to see more frequently all happening in this pilot career mission.

 

1)Tech chat on right side including RPM, Throttle position, etc disappearing part way through the mission. This happens frequently now in Pilot Career mode.

 

2)Intercept Reconnaissance aircraft mission broken in that reconnaissance aircraft never appear but fighters do. In this case the aircraft the mission tells me to attack is actually parked on the snow next to a river and it then commits suicide by driving along the ground straight in to the water. Haven't had a Intercept Reconnaissance aircraft mission work properly since the last update, not that I get many.

 

3)AI's flying as my wingmen all commit suicide by diving straight into the ground for no apparent reason. Also happening frequently but it's usually enemy bots doing it rather than my wingmen.

Hi 

 

I saw some strange issue in Your new mission generator when I chose the other then default skin for all my group of planes ( for example 6x Bf-109 , Hurricanes etc ) only I have it and the rest of the planes have the default skin when mission start not the CHOSEN ONE

Brief description : Bomb arty but there's no target in sight...

Detailed description : Career mode, Kuban, P39, 11th GIAP...  I wanted to challenge myself with this plane, especially since I'm not a very good pilot (I don't play with full realism, 70% maybe). In any case, I'm doing good against E/A, the 37mm is deadly in close quarters with short bursts (2-3 rounds at a time within 250m) but 12 missions into the career or so I had my first "bombing" mission. I had to bomb arty units at a given point on the map... But there was nothing to bomb once over the area. Sweet nothing. So this ended up as a "failed" mission.

This problem is common and happens in different careers with different fighter planes when they are occasionally asked to attack ground (more specifically : arty) targets. Maybe it's even more common than that and occurs also with fighter bomber careers, not sure, but what I'm sure of is that I have encountered this issue multiple times in different careers. And ,as I said, it seems specific to arty targets (bordering forested areas)

Strange one I had the other day:  The flying dead

As you can see, on the first mission of the day 3 pilots were killed, yet still on the roster for the second mission of the day:

 

I flew the mission with my dead comrades (who actually managed to kill E/A!), but despite not being shot down, they remained dead, losing their aircraft in the process.

I´m not completely sure but I think it is since Game Version 4.707.

When I have to fly an "Escort Attackers(Schlachtflugzeuge) Mission" I always have to escort Bf109G4s without Bombs.

They attack there targets (Artillery positions for example)only with guns (and,by the way, don´t hit anything).

Before the update I had mostly Fw 190 Attackers to escort I think.

Yes, 109s are supposed to be there after the end of June 1943 (the 190s were all up north in the Kursk area). But yes, they should have bombs.

I had an escort bombers mission in the new Normandy career that went perfectly fine I started on the runway and the mission went smoothly. The next day same mission but this time we started on the airfield like normal but the flight lead requested to taxi to the runway while already being on the runway and ready to take off. Our flight got halted till he went around and rammed the guy behind me. Then #2 was able to proceed with the mission both Pilots died in the collision.

I have experienced the exact same bug on my second 401 RCAF Spit mission, except that #2 did not take off afterwards... I skipped the mission and went to the next : same ramming thing happened. Funny fact : 401 RCAF squadron emblem is a ram...

 

Btw, 401 was one of the best Canadian squadrons, the top scoring unit in 2nd TAF with 112 kills... Not counting more than 70 others before it joined 2nd TAF; it was previously known as no1 RCAF squadron during the battle of Britain, during witch it flew Hurricanes and allegedly shot down 29 E/A for the loss of 16 planes. Yeah, I know, irrelevant info in this forum ?

 

More relevant : I knew BoN would come with bugs, this is the place to report them... I guess that when a module / update is released too early, it makes all of us testers to a certain degree, right ? I can accept that ?

On route to the Target the Bombers climb to about 15000 f but then  one by one, they turn around, descend and aproach the target out of the formation at much lower altitude (cloud level) - with the exception of two planes. Some of the Bombers didin't droop their bombs and fly back with bomb bays open.

EDIT: I know it doesn't belong in this topic but I feel the need to point it out...Thank you so much for increasing the operational hights above the old and kind of anoying ~ 2000m!!!  This gives much more options in combat.

 

Even in the above mentioned mission with confusing bombers - it just felt awesome to operate in hights above 15000f. So refreshing in the career mode. Please keep it up

'Altimeter' bug in BON career.

Detailed description, conditions:

Flying P51B-5 with 355th FS out of Lashenden airfield. Current phase is "Preparing for the Invasion".

 

On spawning in on Lashenden runway altimeter reads zero (as it should). Then if you then toggle altimeter to [reference pressure standard atmosphere] the altimeter reads minus 220ft whilst sitting on the runway, when it should show a positive reading.

 

 

This bug doesn't appear when using the QUICK MISSION to generate missions (on both 'Normandy Summer 1944' and 'Normandy D-Day' maps).

In both these cases altimeter on Lashenden airfield runway will correctly toggle between zero [nearest friendly a/f elevation] and positive 70ft [standard atmosphere pressure].

Brief description: Bombing missions for I-16 fighters sometimes have targets beyond it's range especially for AI pilots.

 

 

Detailed description: Battle of Moscow, from the 1st day.

 

In this case, my airbase is in RZHEV. The distance is 167kms.

 

I'd say that anything above 120~130kms of distance has a high risk of i-16 wingmen reporting bingo fuel and flying back to base at a very slow speed.

 

In this case I put myself out of the flight and sent them. Then it works for them. But if I fly on the mission itself the 'bingo fuels' will happen.

 

I can mostly manage, just, but if we're bounced I also start looking for a closer friendly airfield (If I survive the fight, that is).

 

These overly long distances are rare, but they can happen from time to time.

 

I think it also happened on a bomber escort mission at around this distance, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember the specifics.

In normandy map I have had similar issues with Spitfires. The AI continuesly moves the throttle forward and back, going from idle to full throttle all the time. This uses a lot of fuel. The AI doesn't lean the fuel either so they run out fast.

 

(I usually acitvate full AI in career missions in order to keep formation easier when nog flight leader)
