Campaign Mission CTD

Playing the Task Force Thunder campaign, I completed the 18th mission (Point Blank), and as the game loads the next mission it crashes. Save attached. Task Force Thunder 019.zip

I realized I'm playing on version 2.03, and maybe installing 2.06 might help. When I tried that, however, the 2.06 ...

Bandit #7 is 200 miles NW of the Ford, almost on top of the skunk.

MQ-25A EO/IR ineffective

Playing Showcase: Ford class, there is a surface contact northwest of the Ford that turns out to be a cargo ship. However, the MQ-25 drone with the maritime surveillance loadout is completely unable to ID it. The attached save game has the drone at 12000 feet (well below cloud cover) at night, but I ...

LRASM datalink issue

Playing Showcase: Ford class, whenever I launch LRASMs at the Russian SAG, there's no datalink. After some experimenting in the editor, I determined the issue is that the LRASMs attempt to establish a datalink with the USS Mississippi, even though it's at max depth and travelling at flank speed ...

RE: Effect of Stealth fighters ( F22 )

<t> I noticed you said you're playing CMANO, not CMO. Vanilla Chains of War in CMANO uses DB3000 v473, which predates the big CEC update. CMO uses v480, which makes a huge difference. The Chinese need a radar lock to fire, and not just IRST or an AEW track. I find that F22s and F35s with stealthy ...

RE: [Spoilers] Scenario 12: Hail Mary

<t> I started this awesome scenario up again, since it's been over a year since the last time I played it, and I was curious how things might go differently since the CEC update. I just knocked out the OTH radars, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they're now worth 100 points each! I wonder ...

Wow! Supercruise at mach 3 and 90000 feet!
It didn't occur to me to look in the cold war database instead of db3000. This is why I'm a "recruit."

RE: New Scenario - The Hustlers

Playing the version with aircraft damage, I encountered a lua error in the "PLAAF is Hostile!" action. PLAAF, SAC, and H are in double quotes, i.e. ("PLAAF", "SAC", "H"). Lua apparently requires single quotes, i.e. ('PLAAF', 'SAC', 'H'). Easy fix.

PRC naval bases

<t> I've been thinking about making a scenario involving air strikes on PLAN port facilities. The problem is I can't find them. The Wikipedia articles on the PLAN has a list of bases, but not their exact locations. I've spent way too much time poring over google maps images of Ningbo, without ...

AGM-28B Hound Dog stops time

<t> Having a go at the Wargasm 62 scenario, and discovered that launching an AGM-28B Hound Dog causes a soft crash. Menus are still accessible, but the clock stops advancing. This is an old scenario, so I tried updating the database, but the problem remains. Same issue as used to be present for the ...

Jialaishi CAP 2 WAD? [Spoilers]

<t> Playing Hail Mary, and bombing the Jialaishi airbase, I noticed there are an awful lot of Flankers sitting on the ground not coming at me. I opened up the editor, and noticed there are a bunch assigned to the mission "Jialaishi CAP 2", which is inactive, and as far as I can tell, there are no ...

RE: EMP JASSSM stops time

Yeah, I guess the flux capacitor was a DARPA project?

Anyway, I'm dying over here waiting for the new build to show up on Steam. I want to knock out some SAM sites! Is there a beta or something I can download?

[FIXED B1004] EMP JASSSM stops time

<t> Playing Chains of War Hail Mary, when I try to launch an EMP JASSM, time stops. The game doesn't crash--I can still open menus, or select units, or give orders. But the clock simply stops advancing. I've tried this on both my laptop and my desktop computer, and I didn't have this issue in ...

Having said that, in this same scenario (Chains of War, Hail Mary), I've seen the glide vehicles pass through mountains (a negative altitude AGL) on their way to Iloilo ...

[FIXED v1.14] Ballistic Missiles Cruising Low

<t> The final approach of at least some ballistic missiles appears to be messed up. Long before they reach their target, they enter a cruise-missile profile, flying at a low and level altitude to the target. See the DF-26C's approaching Tinian in the attached savegame.<br/>

RE: Showpieces

<t> It looks like the lrasms only turn on their radars when they've reached the end of their plotted course. You can make course adjustments when they're already in the air. Doing that, I bunched them together into a tight pack, and set the last waypoint less than half a mile from the carrier (with ...

I imagine this mission would present more difficulty with Taiwan launching 96 lacms, after the Chinese aaw forces have been exhausted dealing with the massive Taiwanese cap ...
