Task editor, career, and single missions

There's an odd set of tree blocks on the Spring map somewhere North of Chunchon, I took a screenshot of the mission map. It's for a bomber intercept with the takeoff from K-50. The screenshot of the P51 shows Chunchon in the distance off to the left of the P51. Sorry for the washed out screenshots, HDR enabled in Windows.

I took screenshots at medium alt and low alt, its noticeable at both.

EDIT: South of Kumsong and East of Kumhwa on Spring map.

I've seen it in a few places. It's the spring blossom causing LOD trouble; the other seasons seem ok.

Hello! Not everything. Try having Distant Landscape Detail x4.

This is also x4, from 13,000ft, and as you can see the terrain is very blurry. Maybe an extra LOD level (x5?) might be useful.

I am wondering if in my CTD when ending the mission is related to using napalm. I did notice that after destroying quite a few objects with napalm my stats said 0 destroyed. Maybe the game is confused after hitting finish as it can't assign a killed object to a killer. I can rerun the mission with napalm and if happens again, then with iron bombs and see if it finishes correctly. I think in the previous mission that crashed it might have been napalm as well.

 

I guess I am being punished for using the "skill bombs"... 😉

I actually have two bugs that I'm encountering. The first is playing in career mode, the ability to fast forward to 20 kilometers of target or home airfield has worked only 1 out of 5 times. When it doesn't work, I just fly in the same location (and yes I'm hitting the "2" key. The second bug is when I'm playing career mode, and I get the message that mission is successful head for home. When I click escape to "Finish Mission," the game briefly flashes the command screen and then crashes to desktop. PS thanks so much for bringing back the fast forward that you had in the early days - been playing this series from the beginning ala Oleg when it was offered in 3.5in floppy drives...

Tried again today, and same result.  I tried two times, same conditions as above_gen.zip

My commander was awarded with the Air Medal, which appeared to the left of the Pilot Badge. After another mission, the award disappeared from the pilot profile and it was just the pilot badge visible.

Hi,

I ran into what looks like a bug in one of the MiG-15 Combat Mission exam.

Here's what happened:

• I was flying a MiG-15.
• I destroyed 6 B-29s during the mission.
• I returned to my home airfield and made a successful landing.
• However, the mission was never marked as completed. There was no mission success or failure message—it simply didn't register.
• A short time later, the game froze on a black screen, and I had to force close it.

I also noticed two other odd behaviors during the mission:

• My AI wingmen repeatedly ignored orders to attack the B-29 formation.
• The F-86 escort fighters chased our MiG formation almost all the way back to our own airfield, which seemed unusual for an escort mission.

Here is the video of the entire mission:

I also have the track file, but it's almost 2 GB in size. If it would help the developers investigate the issue, let me know and I'll upload it to Google Drive.

Has anyone else experienced this mission failing to register after landing, or the black screen at the end? Is this a known issue, or is there a workaround?

Got this message during commander career after assigning a mission. Also, commander medals disappeared after one day.

After latest update did 2 missions in my F80 career. Each time loaded up with 4 500lb and 4 250lb bombs. Despite not having clicked for unlimited ammo I had an unlimited number of bombs. Tried it with F80 in Task editor free flight with same loadout and this time had the 8 bombs as intended not unlimited. This has only happened to me tonight after the update.

Hello, since update 0.004, I’ve encountered a bug in the Task Editor.

I created an “Attack Armored Column” mission with a flight of four F-51s. Before starting the mission, I selected a loadout of 12× HVAR rockets and 2× 500 lb bombs. The mission initially appeared normal, but when I switched to the external camera, I noticed my aircraft had spawned without any rockets or bombs. I then checked the guns and found that they had no ammunition either.

The selected loadout appears correctly before launching the mission, but none of the weapons or ammunition are actually present after spawning.

Could you accidentally use Aerobatics weaponmod?
Does this happen every time or just one time?

Carrer mission - On the flight home after an attack - the last thing I heard was a burst of static (I believe was one of my escorts crashing) then a CTD.

On an airfield attack mission, I had unlimited rockets that kept respawning even though I have “unlimited ammo” unchecked

Situation:  Skip Forward function not working properly.

 

This is in commander career.   I flying second to the commander...not sure how I got there, but I want to get back to leader, so if there are hints on how to do that, would love to know.  Nevertheless, the group sets off to escort transports, as we were "on-duty".  I get the prompt to either continue the flight or arrive 20km before the target drop point.  I choose the latter, the screen switches, but the group and I are still in the same location.  The Skip Forward function is not working.

Situation: Unlimited ammo, Skip Forward acting funny again at the end of a mission

 

Assigned myself to a bomber intercept mission in commander career mode.  Interesting situation after this last patch, I'm no longer taking off from base, but find myself in air start mode.  When prompted to skip forward to target, and choosing to be within, it works....maybe something to do with being in a group?  I intercept the first bomber and down it.  I then go forward to find the second bomber, I find it run out of ammo, then see that my ammo counter fills up in the HUD screen.  After taking this bomber down, I go to the third bomber and down it.  I then start my landing approach on the field, touch down, and the Skip Forward screen pops up.  I seem to remember just pressing the continue on, and not skip forward choice, but I then find myself in the air full flaps, speedbrakes and landing gear down south of the airfield somewhere.  Weird stuff.

 

Anyway, trying to help with the bugs.  I like the sim, but I can see there will be teething problems.  As an original IL2 adopter, since 2001, and a flight simmer since the early 80s, I have to say I still marvel at what I'm seeing in this genre these days.  Keep at it!  Bugs be damned!

This should be fixed in the next update, thanks.

In a career mission with 12th FBS that I was leading I lost a pilot (killed) and another one had to jump on enemy territory with the plane in flames and obviously destroyed. In the results the two pilots aren't even wounded and the planes only damaged.

 

Edit: Same Campaign. Next scramble mission it is impossible to arrive and cover the C-47 in time. We receive a message of failed mission and that it isn't our fault, so I suppose it's normal. We shoot down some LA-11 and recieve a new message of mission successful. Mi plane is damaged. I loose all coolant fluid but make it to our airfield. The plane doesn't appear damaged in the career.

I have to start in runway, because AI pilots do not taxi and sometimes they don't even turn on the engine.

Minor glitch - During an AI mission one of the entries in the event list says 'Mission Aborted: Unable to complete mission, returning'. Despite this the mission was recorded as successful, complete with a good haul of request points.

A small bit of the fire effect shows through the MiG15, at least, cockpit framing. Circled in green. Also a screen of the whole B-29 showing the full fire effect that is clearly not showing through the cockpit frame.

There's a bridge on the Spring map - haven't checked others - that is partially there on two different spots but also no road is there. According to the map that road that is there should route differently and there should be two bridges there where only half of one each is. Also, there's no village on the map there. I used the in-game map tools to circle where this is.
