4.13.2 de-bugging

[shelby]

here is a bug

[Tolwyn]

B-24D-140-CO Bombadier position..

goes all white... then all black.
No way to get it back.


This is when enabling bombsight automation.

Also... can't get Speed up/Down to work for the bombsights.

EDIT: Ignore the speed problem in this thread. The Realistic Bombing difficulty setting simply reset back to OFF (simple mode); however, the white/black problem persisted

[shelby]

it remains in 4.13

To enable setting the true airspeed and enjoy all the new bombing features, make sure you enable Weapons & Stores -> Realistic Bombing

My game no longer works after install, it opens, with 5% reading and closes in less than a sec

[Sita]

what version you trying to instal?

I'm not sure whether this bug is only affecting me, but in the B-24D when I press the button I have set for the fixed MG (weapon 1) the ammo belt moves, but the gun does not fire. However, when I press the button I have set to cannons (weapon 2) it fires, but the belt doesn't move. I've also found that cutting the mixture in the B-25J-1NA does not cut the fuel feed to the engines and they keep working as they would normally, despite being given no fuel.

The 4.13 readme states:
Fixed FM bug that caused two separate flights crash after certain plane was removed from formation

Well, no. I just tested a formation in 4.13 and it has the same issue as shown in my old video:

This problems with AI behavior are quite old.
You usually correct them by doing some workaround.
You just need to set different heights to different flights.
Also, bomber flight formations were on base 3, not base 4.
Base 4 flights were a result obtained by the Germans after the Spanish civil war. The well known finger four, and was only employed by fighter wings.
You will also find that building bomber boxes by three planes is far easier than doing it by four elements each.
On quick missions, you must modify the basic set.
On full missions, you just do one path, and then copy paste the others by doing minor changes in height and X,Y positions on different WP's.
This alone will avoid that kind of mindless behavior.

BTW, it is also affected by low flying groups. You are always forced to recheck missions with low flying planes, because they happen to love the ground to much, and all your flight might end speaking with the worms way too soon.

- When flying the B-24, using the lock tail wheel command gives a message, even when the plane doesn't have a tail wheel. This doesn't cause a catastrophe though, like with B-25.

- Not really a bug, but the quick scramble mission in map NGNB_9-43 has a flaw. If the player is on the Axis side, there's a covered box on the runway that lops off the right wing of a plane that spawns there when the plane tries to move. (the mission is NGNB_9-43BlueScramble00.mis).
