As we know a very very frustrating night... boy have the gremlins been working hard....

1.  Painters MIZ kept crashing the Mission Server.
2.  Specter ran it and the same happended, CRASH,

Tried 5 times to load a re-load the open jungle summer 4.2 but constantly failed then eventually the chat box responded and it loaded... ish!

3.  Jumped over to the Open Jungle and ran a slightly complicated adhoc mission to suit all that people wanted to fly using targets in the NE oilfields.

THEN....

NO TARGETS
FARP ALPHA NO REFUEL / ARM
IN FACT NO TARGETS OVER KRYST EITHER....

Absolutely no idea what was going on... at all... DCS is a bit of bugger... again.

I've just hopped on in SP on the same mission - ALL the targets are there... and FARP ALPHA works fine... even checked in the editor too...

I can only presume that the miz files became corrupted somewhere along the way in the transfer...

I'll ask Db to delete all and reload in fresh...!!!!!

Unless someone knows different?

This is what you should have seen...

We were too busy being shot down by MiGs to notice.

I had a powercut half-way through, too. Still, we managed to make the best of it.

Perhaps it was just meant to be!

Next time!

Unfortunately, testing a MP mission in SP is not an apples-to-apples comparison and cannot be trusted when testing unit activations, triggers, etc.  I have a second PC running DCS at home so I can test my MP mission updates in MP.  It really is the only way to be sure that your stuff will work as advertised in MP.

I've had MP missions work flawlessly in SP, only to see them NOT work in MP.   Very frustrating.

By our guys or AI?....

There are no AI airframes, fixed wing or rotary at all in the miz... hmmmmmm

I think someone was having more fun than us. Defo a human player!

Sri db never saw your post..... Just for info the OJ had no triggers in the targets we were going for.... not that they were present on the F10 though for some reason...

I had run OJ in MP and tested with another PC(laptop) and it seemed okay...

Will chat live with you sometime...

Ah.... thats good then, all fair in love and war etc...

Jumped on 2345z and the F10 showed all targets as they should be. Game running 1.40 so had been re-booted.

Sounds like a error on loading at 2000 ish caused the problems... I think some people were attempting to join at the same time as I was trying to re-load...there's a moral there somewhere....

...confirmed. They are there now.
(I rebooted when I left the server.)

Thx evil.
But this is another issue (client simply disconnects) than ours (server crashes).
