A couple things I have noticed in ODS

Post by fighterfalcon »

Well first I'd like to say very nice job on the ODS theater. Thank you very much for making it.
First off on some airbases there are more squadrons then I can see on one screen, and I dont know how to scroll down to get the other squadrons...dont know if this is ODS, Falcon or If im just not seeing something.
Second, I have had several missions into baghdad. But it seems like if I have released my bombs and then get shot down by the SA-6(maybe SA-2 as well) I get a CTD. Dont get it if I havent bombed my target yet, and If I dont get shot down i dont ctd.
Third, why are no missions being generated to take out the SAMS and other air defences?

Well thanks again guys for ODS and I cant wait for future versions of it to come out.

Can you take a screenshot of the squadrons that do not fit into the screen?

Can you save the campaign before going into a mission where you can ALWAYS get CTD after bombing, then send that savegame *.cam files for me? (check contact info from bottom of this page).

I believe there are SEAD missions being generated, this happens at least in the campaign I run here.

Ok well I cant seem to re-create the ctd i was getting and since I am already passed the point I cant just go back. If i get it to happen again I will send it to you.
Second, I cant select any tornado sqds from the airbase list, but when Im playing I see them flying from those airbases. Also I dont see any F-117 sqds and I think I read somewhere that there is suppose to be one.
Still no SEAD's for me but I dont know.

Well thats all for now...keep up the good work

To get the Tornado squads to be flyable you have to open up "Validac.act" in campaign\desstorm folder.
You have two options,you can either just change the very first line from "45" to "8888" or change it to "46" and add this line to at the bottom of all the others,
"2 6 3 3 26 255 255 255" .

This is perfectly normal standard SP3 behaviour.

SP4 and/or next ODS version will be including flyable Tornados for sure.

You must have read it here, which pretty much explains the situation:
http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/cgi-bin/u ... 3&t=000144

But to recap, the F-117's are now added into the Taif airbase, but the update/next version where they appear will not be coming anytime soon.

Its been a while since I flew the default v0.3 but in my current campaign updates the fixed F-16CG's get plenty of SEAD action.
