Yes I did - all that gave me was the ""Lase" to mark position" text in the lower left hand corner (default keyboard mapping). Again this is in the Mission Editor, Test mode. also "numlock" is off:
-
If I create a new scenario (sample attached) where a Scout unit has a JIM-LR and the time is 2300 it appears to be "optically challenged". Daytime (1000): Night (2300): Conditions: 1. 4.379 in Mission Editor Test mode. 2. Sequence used for both: F7, F1, + (as per the video published earlier). 3. Brand new blank scenario with only one unit and time set. 240319 JIM-LR test.sce I was initially trying to workout why the JIM-LR looked like this in an older scenario, related to this post: But thought I'd confirm that the JIM-LR worked in a pure 4.379 scenario before I tried to make things more difficult. FYI the image from the older, more complex scenario looks like this (only difference being this unit has a UAS, whereas the test unit only has the JIM-LR):
-
Have tried: Remove Save Test - No UAV option. Add Save Test - Scout unit has "Drone Information ..." as an option, but no control panel. That doesn't seem to be a viable workaround. If I delete the old unit and create a replacement I get: +ves: 1. The Munin is now available to use (the control interface is available in F8 view). -ves: 1. Can't use the same name as the one you removed - so messages, briefings, etc. need to be adjusted. 2. The deletion and then creation process breaks all the "Embark if ....", "Retreat if ...", Routes, Events, or Conditions that might have used the old unit name. I'll send you a copy of the earlier (ancient) version.
-
Sure but there has been a lot of work done since then with route, events and conditions. If it helps you with the underlying code, happy to send it. But if its a case of you have the Munin now, but I've lost X months of work, I'll just do without.
-
Some more detail which might make it a "less severe legacy bug". 1. The scenario is fairly old - it comes from a time when your choices were "UGV" or "UAV". 2. As part of the update process, I changed "UAS" to Munin and "UGV" to Libelle. 3. This change is what appears to fail. 4. Creating a new unit in the scenario and giving it a Munin UAS seems to be OK. 5. As an aside, this may also be why I couldn't get the JIM-LR to work either - because I was adding it to an "old" (pre introduction of the JIM-LR) unit.
-
That may be impacted by how much ammunition the opposition player chose to carry (I don't know if they adjusted that or not).
-
I just tried the exact same sequence in an "Offline Session": Only thing I noticed was the reduced NVG contrast but no menu visible.
-
Selected Trigger to make the unit (vehicle and passenger) Player owned. Dismounted the team with the Munin. Made sure it was in open ground. Gave it a "stay" tactic (just in case the menu wouldn't show if they were moving. Waited for them to go prone. Went to F8 No menu. Yes, in Test mode (no acceleration).
-
I leave that call to others. All I know is that I need to report security breaches that I see for "friendly nations" (e.g. M1 armour layout, CR2 Dorchester details, ....) , otherwise I'm in breach myself. This reporting involves a multi page PDF to complete and then a nice chat with our ICT security team. So speaking personally, I'd be very happy if people stopped.

Gibsonm started following BG ANZAC - 21 MAR 0830GMT (with TeamViewer support) - 4.379
-
Daylight Saving now in effect and AS time zones have fractured. By now most readers will already know who BG ANZAC is, so I'll put the information relevant to this week in first, then background, etc. If you are new to the Forum, feel free to read the entire post. IMPORTANT: As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment. Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant. If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask: a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media). b. Don't be too surprised if you aren't welcomed back. BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Your Local time: Click on this link for Local time in your part of the world Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start Mission will start promptly at 0830 GMT. If you want a pre game "chat" then by all means come on line at say 0830 GMT, but so that the Kiwi's aren't after Midnight, the Mission will commence promptly at 0830 GMT. Agenda: Based on the recent sustained good attendance, we are embarking on a more structured approach (only sustainable if the attendance is maintained). Planned Agenda: 1st meeting: Teach / Discuss a topic (Attack, Defence, Convoy Escort, Reserve Demolition, OPs, ...) using a scenario / map as the basis for discussion. As to what we cover, that will be will be determined by the response to the related email "newsletter" for this Wednesday sent to regular attendees. 2nd meeting: First volunteer develops a plan for the tactical problem and we see how they go. There will be a brief debrief at the end looking at strengths / weaknesses of their solution, which the person COing the next week is free to incorporate into their solution. 3rd meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 4th meeting: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 5th meeting (if there is one in a given month): Q & A - You need to supply the questions or a "player's choice" determined by responses here / to email. As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome. Current Standard: 4.379 Refer here: Please use the new Calendar RSVP function or post here to facilitate planning. Background: Who is BG ANZAC? https://www.bganzac.org Described here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=21753 A couple of examples of the BattleGroup at work: Multi Player session: Training session: Timings: Thursday evenings, Australian East Coast time. Daylight Saving has started and the number of time zones has increased. Next meeting: 0830 GMT on Thursday, March 21st. 0830 in London (GMT / Zulu) 1630 in Perth 1800 in Darwin 1900 in Adelaide 1830 in Brisbane 1930 in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra 2130 NZST in Auckland In game chat / Communications: You'll need access to "Teamspeak" to communicate with us. The Teamspeak software is available here: Download Teamspeak client software How to connect and use it is detailed here: Steel Beasts Wiki Entry - Starter Pack Primary = eSim Teamspeak. 216.22.24.158 Alternate = BG ANZAC Teamspeak. 144.130.10.25 Contingency = BG ANZAC Discord. Emergency = Perhaps Teamviewer? Remote Access / Screen Sharing / Whiteboard Sessions: We continue the use of TeamViewer so people without the Steel Beasts software can connect and see and hear what we see and hear (looking over our shoulder if you like). Team Viewer available here This maybe a suitable vehicle for people to see what the software is all about (you can even use it on a Mac), without having to invest in even a short time limited copy. Anyway we'll see how it goes. So if you are interested, visit our Discord site https://discord.gg/YyrUtH3 and sign up.

FYI, the Quadcopter at least displays the controls: Now I just need to remember how to fly it.
-
Yes, that's why I sent you the link to the map file - to bypass the whole map manager issue.
-
Have a look at the bottom line of the image I posted. That shows you the path for where my maps are installed. I can't guarantee that this will be the same location on your machine as the installation now offers the option to people to select where the maps are installed. If you picked "somewhere else" then your maps will be installed "somewhere else". If you start the software, select "Options" from the main menu, then "File Paths", you should see something like this telling you where you have installed your maps: Failing that, perhaps try looking for that path or do a search for any folders called "packages"?

I'm trying to deploy a "Munin" at night. During daylight (screenshot is from my UAS test range scenario) I see this: However at night in a different scenario all I see is this: The unit in question does have a Munin: Does the control interface just not work at night, or can the Munin not fly at night, or .... ?
