That's correct FSCAI is an external program and it's always 32 bits, in fact it's the exact same program for FSX and Prepar3D.
What's different is the DLL which is a 32 bit version in FSX and a 64 bit in P3DV4, but in all other respects it's identical too.
There are just a few differences in the two sims - but one is how the user aircraft is identified. If it thinks it's FSX and it's really P3DV4, the user aircraft will be considered an AI aircraft and so it will attack an enemy which is itself! That was what was happening to you. I was able to reproduce it when I told it I was running FSX not P3D.
I'm baffled by why you wouldn't get the UI to show. Mine comes up fine with 0.15.

Check at your "config_USER" folder, the file "Preferences" that has these values :
SCREENX=-4 SCREENY=-11
At some point, after a crash, something was messed up and these values were something like -3200 (ie, out of screen!).

Very glad you solved it ! I was almost certain about this...

I clearly need to check the preference file for valid numbers and not use them of they are not!
Thanks for reporting this xpel!

Changed values to: SCREENX=89 SCREENY=222
UI appears.

The current download version is now 0.15 which should fix this problem with the bad values in preferences as well as the version 4 problems.

Ok. Better results.
Created 2 wingman, both F-18s, while airborne. Started CCP and selected a 4 ship of Mig-23s KPOB-KXNO-KCHS-KPOB @ 13.0 and 350kts. Started FSX@War Palmetto campaign which is an attack on Blue Force (KPOB and KXNO) at KXNO. Locked onto ground targets: SA-2 (and later) multiple ZSU-23. When I asked wingman to engage air defences/ground targets wingman replied "No Targets". I saw no AAA tracers as I did routinely in original FSCAI, version 2??. I smoked the targets with HARM and MK-84LD, respectively. Wingman seemed disinterested. Next, I engaged the Mig-23 inbound KXNO. They seemed disinterested in me. I fired 1 AIM-120C it smoked them all as they were in a tight fingertip formation. My wingman followed me back to KCHS for an uneventful landing. One wingman crashed when I stopped and the other would have had I not stopped FSCAI.
Here are my files in Config-USER
ERA.cfg ERA=Default,Teams_Default ERA=Libya_2011,Teams_Libya ERA=Southeast_Asia,Teams_Vietnam ERA=World_War_II,Teams_WWII ERA=Palmetto,Teams_Palmetto
Teams_Palmetto.cfg [Blue] Airfield=KCHS Aircraft=F18E [RED] Airfield=KPOB Airfield=KXNO Aircraft=MG23
Problems that I can see: 1. FSCAI is not seeing my ERA.cfg or Teams_Palmetto.cfg and as a result there was no Palmetto ERA or Palmetto Team selectable on UI. 2. As a result, I could have done everything I did in this session with CCP and FSX@War alone except spawn my wingman. 3. The wingman had trouble staying in formation. 4. The wingman did not recognize the targets either ground defense, ground targets or airborne threats. 5. The adversarial aircraft ignored my formation and just flew their preplanned CCP route.
All in all, we got the UI to show up. It saw the simobjects. It acknowledged destruction of targets. For me that's a win. Now, how do we get FSCAI to see my Palmetto ERA and Teams Palmetto?

Hmm, all units that were present in your session appear to have been "Blue" (=NATO) to me. So, no one opened up hostilities because you were all on the same team.

That is the way I read it also. The UI did not have a "Palmetto" ERA or Team that could be selected so it defaulted to "Default" and "NATO". I expected to be able to select "Palmetto" for ERA and then FSCAI would assign the F-18s to the RED team and MIG-23 to the BLUE team. Likewise, the SA-2 and ZSI-23s located at KXNO would be assigned to BLUE. It never happened because (it appears) FSCAI never read Teams_Palmetto file. Again, it was not on the drop down menu in the UI.

Syntactically it all looks fine.
Try moving the last line of your Eras.cfg to the top before Default and see if you see it in the drop-down menu afterwards.
It could be that the last line of your Eras.cfg file doesn't have a newline character after it.

That worked! The Mig-23 fourship snuck up behind me IP inbound to the target and gunned me down. No more time for tonight, there was much accomplished today. Thanks
Still need to find out why my wingmen respond with "no target" to my request for them to engage when I am armed and locked onto the target (aircraft and ground targets). Actually, I just noticed in the log that I erroneously assigned mysef to team RED and that would explain why they responded with "no target".
I'll have to refly this tomorrow night.
Thanks again. This is gonna be great when we get the bugs worked out.

Ironmike, I think you expect from AIs to do things that can't perform in this FSCAI version. If I understand correctly from your statement, you're expecting AIs to engage targets just because you've locked them in your radar or because you Laser the targets ? This won't work.
Also, "wingmen formation flying", is not of the Blue Angels type... Think of it as a "battle wide spread formation" or as just "follow user". Also, ability of AIs to follow user, depends greatly on "quality" of AIs in use.
About RTB order, works fine to me. Tested multiple times. AIs will head back & "land" at the airport of my origin - even if wingmen spawned when I was airborn. IF RTB order is issued, they won't follow any new order issued, before they "land" to base.
I would suggest to anyone to have a look at FSCAI_Preliminary pdf in FSCAI/Manuals folder, to accustom himself with FSCAI concept & functions. FSCAI is a fascinating program, that "magically" transforms airbases to full AI combat operational !...

Wingmen will only engage with a target they have detected. You know they detect something when they report enter "Contact Air Defense Target" or "Contact Ground Target" or "Bandit One O'Clock High". If you see these messages you can then order them to engage and they will engage the closest target of the type you select.
Because you have something locked doesn't mean they know about it. Unless an AI has one of the radar sets defined in the weapons list assigned to it they are limited to visual range (roughly 10 miles depending on their skill level) for bandits and either eyes or sensors for ground targets.
We do know about the poor ability of AI to stay in formation, and have plans to address that.

XPEL, you said, "you're expecting AIs to engage targets just because you've locked on them in your radar". Apparently, I left you with the wrong impression. I did not explain well. I was in visual renge of the target, approx. 7 nm out, when I pressed "F" and "Engage ground targets". My wingman responded, "No target". I tried several times over the next minute inbound to get them to engage, but kept getting "No target" response. My guess, after further study, is that my wingman were not in visual range. Hence, the "No target" call. I was busy with the weapons delivery so I don't know if they left formation or what. I'll check my ACMI file for that flight.
Dutch: I reflew the mission and had a spectacular view of my wingman firing a Maverick on one of the targets. I was 1 nm behind him and about 2000 ft above. It was impressive.
I noticed a couple of things:
1. When "Modify" was pressed to add wingman, The response was the same for each iteration: Something like," 1 added. You can add 2 more". It continued to say the same thing even after 3 wingman had been added.
2. I was pleasantly surprised when my wingman fired the AGM-65 for 2 reasons: I forgot that my wingman's loadout was defined by the vehicles.cfg file not by my loadout (MK-84LD). This is great because I could have changed their loadout in vehicles.cfg to AA weapons only and had them maintain air superiority around the target. There are a lot of options here. Well done!
Thanks again.
