@Xeilo

Ok, there is a delay in time for the plane to be called back again (60 seconds i believe) which can be changed in the settings, the plane never actually rearms in fact they never have any weapons (seems to help them ignore everything around them). I'm not sure about an explosion when they return (is it that they get shot down? and then are setpos'd back to base, I noticed that with Helo's and fixed it) Is it removed from the list of available aircraft or is there a hint saying its in use?

@Guttersnipe

I recommend combined ops, I forgot to mention too that the attack helo ATGM fire requires OA. And if I understand the problem correctly you put a plane on station and then when its on station you call a strike and the map flicker happens. Check that the F35 already on station can carry out a strike and that in the settings that F35 is defined correctly to match the airport-type array rather then the spawn-type array. (another place I should put a simple check to make itself known in game).

**EDIT**

Actually I was able to reproduce your error Guttersnipe and it is pretty significant with only a few lines to fix so I'll post the fix here.

In the RUM/Fxd/RUM_Fxd.sqf it should read the following from line 69 to 85 (nested if-then statement regarding the "callStrikeStat.sqf" script) in order to correct for a _payload, _touse, and _onboard variable mix-up.

_sel = lbCurSel RUM_ListFXD_IDC;

_lib = RUM_FXDAircraft_onStation select _sel;

_arry = _lib select 1;

_plane = _arry select 0;

_callsign = _arry select 1;

_airport = _arry select 3;

_egress = _arry select 4;

_ingress = _arry select 5;

_home = _arry select 2;

_onboard = _lib select 0;

{

_id = _onboard find _x;

_onboard set [_id, "del"];

} forEach _payload;

_onboard = _onboard - ["del"];

[_plane,_payload,_airport,_egress,_ingress,_home,_onboard,_sel,_callsign] execVM "RUM\Fxd\callStrikeStat.sqf";

RUM_FXDAircraft_onStation set [_sel,[_payload,_arry]];

In RUM\Fxd\callStrikeStat.sqf line 18 should now read...

_mun = _touse select (_n-1);

I tried that fix for the stationed aircraft but I could not get the device up on the screen for the fire mission.

Also I recorded a video of what I mean with the error I got.

After that explosion happens I can't do anything with that plane again.

I've the same problem as Xeilo re:above fix to scipts - no console for fixed wing aircraft at any stage.

Could you please post an updated version for us ? I tried the Taki map & have the same problems (I imagine the same issue?)

Many thanks for all your hard work.

wow! wtf? ok, I did not see that one coming... thx for the video.

Likely there is a syntax error which if you play the mission, try to pull up the dialog and look in (E:\Documents and Settings\Draper\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2 OA) (I'm an XP guy, sorry probably different depending on OS) for a .rpt file it should tell you the error. Maybe you copied over a line that should be there?

I'll post an update but I wanna try to figure out that exploding plane error and unfortunately I'm going away for Thanksgiving so it might be a while...

Hi Draper,

I'm using Notepad++ here as the editor but there is nothing in line 18 that looks even vaguely similar to what you want us to change. Could you give us the line please that needs to be replaced please?

Cheers

XP user myself. Using notepad too, change the files as per (line 18 I replaced was "_mun = _payload select (_n-1);").

Here's the .rpt :
