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.

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.

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 .... ?
-
As a "workaround" I've stopped using the mouse wheel in this instance and gone back to 'clicking". One left click appears to be the vehicle. Two left clicks seems to be the similarly named passengers.
-
While we are on a role with Ver 5 "things" ... Can we add some additional granularity to unit name (or maybe display their unit IDs)? I have a unit called "XO Spec" unfortunately the dismount is also XO Spec: As a result trying to use the logic choice: becomes problematic as they are listed twice and it seems even the smallest turn of the mouse wheel (or click) moves you from the 1st "XO Spec" to the 2nd one. As a result I'm never certain as to which one I've selected until I test it and almost inevitably find that I made the wrong choice. The call sign template doesn't seem to provide any obvious way to distinguish the vehicle from the people: Can we add an additional description to the Call Sign template, or perhaps can we be shown the "unit ID" since as I understand it these are unique, with the vehicle and the passengers having different / unique Unit IDs?

If you downloaded the map (the link I posted) you don't need to use the map transfer tool. I don't know if the map is part of the library of maps controlled by the map transfer tool, hence my suggested bypass. Although it does appear to have a code:
-
I suspect you'll need to get it from here (if you don't already have it):

That sounds great! Much between that counting boxes in the Debugger and trying to work out the order for the sub task after the first one: 1 2 3 4 5 or 1 2 4 3 5 etc. And then having worked that out, closing it and then opening the event / condition to work on say the fourth sub task. This plus the "reverse look up" option would be a great outcome.
-
Sorry I was unclear. I understand they are sub tasks / events/ ... all of which need to be satisfied before the overall item is satisfied. What I'm hoping for is something like: Event 16 has 5 sub-conditions something like (doubtful due to space constraints): In the Debugger you have an indication of: - Trigger 2 - Event 5 - Red Condition 2 - Condition 3 - Event 25 As a result, if the 4th check box is not checked you know that "Condition 3" hasn't been satisfied.
-
I may have posted this previously and it maybe part of the Ver 5.x "rebuild", but .... Is there a possibility that we will be able to "audit" Triggers, Events and Conditions and find out where they are used? I'm currently revising / rebuilding someone else's work and unfortunately there are Triggers, Events and Conditions that may or may not be redundant. Is it possible to add a "Used by ..." button somewhere on here (or the new format), for Events Conditions and Triggers? The Debugger is great for telling me if an Event or Condition is satisfied, but I have no idea what the small sub check boxes relate to: And of course there are similar "full" screens for the other parties too.
-
Or maybe not. The guy said "I don't know".
-
You can do this via a work around: - Place IEDs. - Set to detonate at H>0. - Run the Mission. - Wait for explosions. - Do a "In progress save". Use that In progress save file as you new scenario baseline. Using that approach you can drop bridges, demolish / damage buildings, etc. The bigger the IED, the bigger the crater / damage:

In RL sure, but this isn't intended to be a "tank driving sim". I'm not aware of any "first parade" or "halt parade" mod or similar (in part because this would vary between vehicles).

Thanks for the summary.

AFAIK, the license you bought is limited to the version you had. That is, your license allows you to run the version you had in 2012, not the current 4.379. Given the 2012 time frame, before the introduction of time based licenses, then yes you need the dongle as the dongle contains your licensing information. If you want to use 4.379: - Then "yes" you need to buy a new license. - If you want a permanent license that you can move from machine to machine, yes you need the dongle. - If you want a time based license linked to a specific machine, there is no need for a dongle, but the license is not enduring (duration depends on which one you purchase). Details here: https://www.esimgames.com/3165-2/ I can't help with that one.

Will be there. Happy to fill a role in whichever is the "non German" Platoon.
