Operation Snowman Bug reports and Issues

[Steggles]

At long last I managed to track down our mission that we hosted on our old Europe Server. This thread is here for anyone to post any sort of bug report or issues encountered while flying. From a player aircraft not spawning or not being able to be rearmed, objectives or radio menus not working correctly or if something just looks out of place or like it shouldn't be there, please let us know. If possible, please include the name name of the unit you were flying and if it is objective related, the name of the objective as well (if you know it - it should be in your radio menu).

With 2.5 expected by the end of the month and with the expectation that it will break everything worse then every other ED update, the changes to the mission will happen after 2.5 is released.

Operation Snowman should be up and running shortly on our dedicated server. Find it in the server list as '[16AGR] Dedicated USA'. So what is Operation Snowman about -

01 December 1995. After Russia Annexed the Autonomous region of Abkhazia earlier in the year, fraught negotiations at the United Nations have sought a peaceful resolution. Western World powers wanted a halt in hostilities and a transitional government to form with a view to a swift and bloodless retreat of Russian Forces. At the same time the USA and its allies have been moving massive shipments of harware and troops into Georgia, officially for a long planned excercise called "SNOWMAN". Antagonised by the Wests decision to continue on with the build up of troops Russia has also been strengthening its position in Abkhazia ready for a showdown with the west. It looks Like WW3 is unavoidable, Who will fire the first shot?

Known Issues -

• AV8B not currently in mission
• Troop and Crate transport currently disabled

Server restart timer needs to be reduced when it gets close to the end.

After playing for a while today I have noticed some things:
When you are in the server when it resets, you will automatically log back in. When that happens weird stuff happens (I noticed some of my weapons being ineffetive: Guns did nothing to anything, I could not even see the rounds hitting the ground, some missiles did nothing to their targets)

Is the current score being displayed anywhere? Because I didn't see it anywhere though it is entirely possible that I am just blind.

The amount of unguided rockets in the bases is rather low. Sukhumi has only 100 of any given type (only counting the ones that can be mounted on the frogfoot). For the S8 rockets I was using that amounts to 5 full rocketpods. At least make it an even number of pods. I would suggest maybe something along the lines of 20 - 50 full pods of each type.

Blue side Viggens can't communicate with ground crews. Unable to re-arm or use the generator to start up.

Blue side has AWACS in F10 but no AWACS present on map.

Thanks for the reports guys! Keep them coming. With 2.5 expected by the end of the month and with the expectation that it will break everything worse then every other ED update, the changes to the mission will happen after 2.5 is released.

the changes to the mission will happen after 2.5 is released.

That should probably be in the OP.

Ship attack Viggens need Waypoint 2 moved further away from the objective. Should be used a launch point, not targeting point. Also need to add some points that we can use to correct guidance drift.

Also, can we add data export on a delay so that we can look at stuff in Tacview?
