So this is not a 4.12 bug? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING IT IN THE 4.12 DEBUG THREAD!!!

Maybe a planned/known feature... My pilot died while I was a gunner. I could fire the gun, but not bail out. I was in quick mission builder.

New feature: Child safety locks. Only the pilot's door has the button, though. Downside is that if the pilot dies, well, so do you.

Sorreh.

I get an entire computer freeze when hitting the quick mission builder button.
There is no 'last.quick' in the quick missions folder.

When using the new Taxi to Takeoff option, planes totally ignore the first waypoint immediately after takeoff. This can even be seen in the demo mission that came with 4.12 (AITaxxing).

See the screenshot below of this mission. The white plane is the Player's plane on autopilot. As you can see, it ignores the first waypoint after takeoff (WP-2) and plots a course for the next waypoint (WP-3). I looked at the mission further and all the other planes do the same thing.

I made some test missions on my own and all of them had the same issue. Basically, if the new Taxi to Takeoff option is used, that particular plane/flight will ignore the first waypoint directly after takeoff.

*When makings test missions WITHOUT the new Taxi to Waypoint option, all planes/flights follow all of the waypoints normally.

When I try and replay a .ntrk I've saved, I can only use cockpit and external views of my aircraft (despite having difficulty settings allowing all views bar enemy a/c externals at the time of recording). I still have full control over the orientation of the camera, but it's locked to only these 2 camera views despite friendly a/c and static cameras in the mission.

I did find one way to correct it - if you used a view other than the above two while in-mission, letting the game show that view with manual control OFF, then toggling it back ON once you've seen it allows full control over all the camera views again.

I added the SaveTrk=0 line to my conf.ini and have been replaying the .ntrk with icons off (fiddling with that switch made no difference, neither did starting the playback with the view control switch in either position).

I own the digital version from game fly, before it was game fly, it was D2D

I can not get the game to work now after installing 4.12

I get this error

I'm having the same problem. I tried recording an FMB mission I created yesterday, once with the setting "use TRK" on, and once off. In both cases, the record button worked, but when watching the video the mission starts off with that horizon view you get if you try to fly a mission that doesn't have a player aircraft assigned. If you use F1 or F2, it will go to your aircraft but you cannot use Shift or Cntl F2 to switch to other aircraft. I tried with all the different track settings such as manual view, etc. I'm using a stock 4.12, with no mods or config settings other than what's available inside the menu.

EDIT: For some strange reason, all of the external views of friendly/enemy aircraft does become available... after 29 seconds into the mission. I was looking at my own aircraft externally when suddenly the point of view changed. From that point on, all of the external views seemed to work as per usual.

Working on it

Has unlimited power/range even when plane is out of fuel. The ramjets keep on workin and providing unlimited thrust/power.

They burn fuel but slowly(too slowly probably, who knows).

I've turned off .trk in the UI and made .ntrk recordings, and I get the same issues. Horizon view at the start of the recording, and for a minute or more I can only access views in the cockpit or external view of my own aircraft. All view options are turned on, and keystrokes for the different views are assigned.

This seems to be connected to disabling TRK's. As far as I can see after some time everything goes back to normal in track, we'll see if we will do something about it or declare it a feature

Is this a bug, or...is it expected?
If so, I would say this is something like to give us a toy and take the other...

Bug, probably the same which is causing problem described by Aviar.

If you use Taxi to takeoff you can't make side by side takeoff.

The other thing is weird formation flying. I created a mission with 9 Ju 88s taxi-taking off, then flying the vic formation. And each time they collide with each other while creating the formation (I mean no 3 too far forward, even before the no 1, so I eventually ended up with just 6-7 planes in formation). And they also like to drop their bombs early. And I don't mean several dozens of meters, I mean 2-20 km before they reach their target!
I don't know if it's my fault (bad mission making or something) or AI's, but I just can't make them listen to me

Can you post the mission with formation forming problems? Does bombing work OK if you don't use Taxi to takeoff?

Attack waypoint height was set at 500m to allow ai to manuever. skip bombing planes remained ok, it may be related to the attk waypoint but it is synchronized as much as possible with the ships position at the time of attack, ship has waypoints not just 1 at each end.

Please, post the mission.

Yes, it's a bug.

The mission is normally set to dusk conditions and under these conditions none of the P40's will be able to succesfully attack the Me's that perform the ground attack. When set to daylight conditions, the P40's will however attack.

They fail in what way, they don't see enemy or they are not successful while attacking?

The "loiter here" command no longer seems to work.

Fixed for 4.12.1.

Abort mission in TAB menu seems not to work.

It does create a new vector to home plate originating from the last waypoint reached, but the flight is unable to follow it and the pre-planned mission waypoints.

Aborting mission is player's message that he is aborting mission. It is intended to prevent your wingmans to follow you down. It can be issued from whatever position in wing you are so even if you are not the leader you can leave your wing and let them to continue with the mission.

Hi have this bug since 4.11m

Check your Controls setting and verify that mouse is not assigned to Zoom.
