Airplane problems

[jcrohio]

Have the steam version installed and patched to 1.42. Have been playing through scenarios in both AWB and SOS.
Have had almost no problems with crashes. Today I started playing the first SOS firefight with planes and the
game consistently crashes. Tried the other SOS firefight that has planes and had the same problem. Checked these
forums and found some people having issues with crashes where the AI tried moving planes. I am wondering if this
is the same problem I am having. I know the human player can move and fight with planes as I messed around with
this trying to figure out how planes worked. But the game does seem to crash when the AI has the ability to move
planes. Though I saw some reports of this issue earlier the only solution was to make sure to apply the latest
patch. Obviously I have the latest patch. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jack

Thanks for the +1. I assume this means you are experiencing the same issues. I guess my next question is can
anybody play the scenarios that use planes?

[jcrohio]

Anybody. There are two scenarios in SoS with planes that crash on my system when used by the AI. Should I just edit
the scenarios to not include planes or is there something wrong with my system? Has anybody gotten planes to work
with the AI?

same here - games crashes when the AI plane tries to move

I can't actually figure out how to attack with my planes anyway

which scenarios exactly? i don't remember any crashes buts its been a while since i played.

I first saw it in Romistrov Red Dawn where the Germans get planes from turn 2 but the game crashes when the Soviets get theirs on turn 4 - more precisely when the AI Soviet takes their turn and it's the plane they intend to activate (ie Soviet ground activations work ok with the plane chit on the edge of the board).

But it looks to be any scenario where the AI has planes, including where you swap sides from the default - eg the Germans have a Stuka in Dance of the Totenkopfs, which works fine* if you play as the Germans but crashes if you set the AI to control them.

Note that I have the Steam version with the AtB base game and SoS as DLC (don't have Ghost Divisions).


*I say works fine because I can move the chit around ok and change altitude, but I have not been able to work out how to attack - is there somewhere that actually explains how to use planes properly?

Hello,

I have the same issue. Both in Steam and when matrix version.

I have a save game. But I do not know how to upload it. But whenever I restart the scenario Red Dawn it crashes when the AI planes are appearing.

I do not see any errors in the log-files.

Best regards,
