That's interesting....where be da file? :03:

Sh3MissionEditorX2.exe? In my game directory.

Wasn't what I originally meant....never mind, my bad :doh:

Hello,

Not sure if you solved this problem, but I just figured this out just now. After doing some searching, make your AA settings to application controlled in CCC.

Even AF too, if you must. But for me, I run an HD 6850 and just changing the AA to application controlled did it for me.

Good luck.

Hello all,

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post my question, and i'm sorry if it was not.

I would like to know if my problem is just a known bug, or if it's just me doing something wrong ... :doh:

So : i have created a mission with my submarine, and also a german airplane. The mission starts on January 1st, 10:30. The airplane appears the same day but at 11:00, 100 km away from my sub. I set : "evolve from entry date". But when i play the mission, the airplane doesn't spawn at all ....... :dead: :wah:

What's wrong ?? :06:

Edit : if i do the same thing with a ship, the ship spawns ...

Have you set the spawning parameter at 100%?

What Aircraft and what is it's Entry date?
Say your mission is set in 1940 and the entry date for the plane is 1941.
The plane will not spawn.

Hi ! Thank you for the replies. :)

@Jimbuna : yes it was 100%.

No, entry date is 1940 in the roster cfg. file, and the mission takes place in 1941. If i just put the plane without setting "evolve from entry date" and setting the entry date in 1940, i can see the plane.

In fact, after several attempts, i can see the airplane with "evolve from entry date", but not always, only 30 % of the time, although spawning parameter is on 100 %. :shifty:

Moreover, i've tried something else : i put a random generated group, with a spawning probability of 100 % every hour, from 5 to 12 o'clock. Well, most of the time, i see nothing. It just worked one single time on all my attempts. That's really odd .... :doh:

Maybe the explanation is that my crew doesn't see it everytime ... even if the plane is just 500 meters high. I need to test more. :hmmm:

So, I have a huge problem.

I have added an airplane in my Campaign_SCR.mis file. It's spawned on January 5 (1944), at 7:30 (it evolves from entry date). I've created a single mission where my submarine is 230 km far from the spawn of this plane. The mission starts at 7:00 (January 5, 1944), and the airplane should pass right over me at 8:00. But in fact, the airplane never appear when I play the mission even if i wait until 12:00 ! :wah:

What's wrong ???????????

Please, help me ! :-?:(

Thank you for the links, but it doesn't help me. I don't have any problem with triggers. Just an airplane that doesn't spawn. :-? This is incomprehensible .... :/\\!!

So, here is the situation, with the airplane's properties :

The mission starts on January 1st, 1944, 12:00. The plane never appears .... :wah:

What's wrong guys ?

"Validate mission" have you got error messages?

Very interesting !
 

So, after one hour of intensive tests, here are my discoveries :

I've tested with the mission beginning at 12:11, so one minute after the plane spawns. First test, the airplane appears (at 12:46) ! But not in the following tests... Then, i found that in fact, at time compression x256, the plane always appears, but never appears at TC x512. Then, i found that the plane always appears if TC is less than x512 after 12:33 only, or maybe a bit later (i didn't test all possible time values), but never if TC is equal or superior to x512 after 12:36 (10 minutes before the plane is spotted) even if you lower the TC a few minutes later, as 12:40.

And then, i tested with the mission starting at 12:00 with TC x256, and magically, the plane appeared !!!

Could you re-create this experience on your computer guys ?

Here is the mission, I just don't remember if the Fw 200 is a stock game plane and with type=304 :

It has long been an established/accepted fact that the SH3 game engine can experience issues with aircraft spawning at a tc higher than x128.

Without looking for specific posts I can recall it being highlighted on many occasions over the years.
