Cant team ground and sea vehicles.

[raidfire]

Hi, I'm stuck on an almost finished project, What I'm trying to do: Created a senario in Sim director (P3d4) with working health point triggered goals focused on ships.

I have sucessfully weaponized the fleet with 2 named Russian vessels and a bunch of p3d vessels (veh_cruiser01 and veh_destroyer01, no issues up to this point, ships aim and fire,

transporters roam around on land and fire R11-scuds at me, support groups take off from the local airport and intercept me, so what is failing?

my team CFG is not working for vehicles other than aircraft, I can add and change any aircraft thats weponised in vehicles.cfg but the only way i can team the ships is manually via the GUI and even with admin start it doesn't save the gui assignment beyond the session, no matter wether the file is in std or user folder (both paths load ok). I have tried all iterations i can think of (listed below)

yet the gui never reflects the file:



Tried:

simobject

Vehicle=VEH_destroyer01

Aircraft=VEH_destroyer01

Ship=VEH_destroyer01 (does ship even exist as a type here can't find a manual page so was a wildcard guess)

shortname

Vehicle=destroyer

Aircraft=destroyer

SHIP=destroyer



Nice feature in a future version would be to have the option to save assigned teams, only other files i touched were vehicles and weapons both working well from user cfg folder.

Not sure of why this is not working because for 15+ aircraft Aircraft=simobject_name worked perfectly but cant assign any land or sea.
Also appears my own wingmen (Eurofighters) are targeting me on the same team. 


The only vehicles in the screenshot that should be EU are the eurofighters and they shouldn't be targeting me. Side not the euros all have ai behaviours assigned in simdirector that work without fscai loaded.

Hello Raidfire,

welcome to the FSCaptain forum. My knowledge about FSCAI is quite limited, but I will reach out to Travis and Dutch and see if they can help you. You may have seen in the announcement section that Travis is currently away, and since Dutch is very busy with another project it may take a few days until they respond.

Best regards,
Peter

Yep I picked up on Owen being moved to other duties and Travis being away, Great work really brings some reality to flying, fully appreciate people need to make a living too

Quick update re p3d wingmen targeting the user: If you are quick enough and change your team from neutral to same team as wingmen while it is 'waiting for simconnect data' then everything works as it should, if you change team once simconnect link is up then wingmen see you as being on the wrong team.

Hi Raidfire,

thanks for the update, that's an interesting twist and may help to identify the problem. I haven't heard back from Dutch or Travis yet.

Best,
Peter

My suspicion is there is a property refresh that's a little out of line, ie on changing user team it saves and is reflected in the GUI but not whatever is happening behind, let's call it the AI engine, after simconnect link the AI engine is not having the team refreshed, this only affects User not fcsai or pd3 generated objects (as long they are weaponised and teamed correctly).

[peter]

That would make sense, but since I never saw the FSCAI code, I really can't tell if that's the case or not. We have to wait for the input of the big guys

Sorry but FSCAI is completely out of my scope, and I don't know if Dutch's systems are set up to do any FSX / P3D work.

Best,
