Problem or Glitch?

Post by Nightmare » 2002-09-11 13:22:00

I was flying the first campaign. Fist flight of F16-CJ's out of Sarajevo International on a sweep. Immediately after getting airborne with my flight (2 on my wing, 3 in the air, 4 rolling on the runway) I was engaged defensive by a MIG 29. I locked him up and told my flight to engage targets. 2,3 and 4 fired AIM 120's at the incomming boges. I was able to evade successfully the incomming missile and 2 went defensive. 3 and 4 continued to engage the MIG 29's. I started to rejoin 3 and 4 and had 2 rejoin as well after evasive maneuvers. 3 and 4 were approximately 20 miles ahead of me at angles 6. As one MIG was downed and the other defensive, I ordered 3 and 4 to rejoin. I received a roger from 4 but not from 3. I again asked 3 and 4 to rejoin and only 4 answered. No matter what I did, I counld not get a response from 3. I used the 8 key to cycle through friendly aircraft and saw that 3 was frozen in the air in a 30 degree climb in full AB. No damage, no response, just frozen in the air with no movement. I continued my flight to see what would happen to 3 and there was no change in his status.

I have has a similar problem in another theater. Suddenly my aeroplane would just freeze as if in pause mode and the only way to continue was to pause and un-pause. I don't know if this is the same problem you are facing. Also I have had similar experience when friendly pilots ignore orders. I don't know what the exact problem is but it could very well be a slight problem since this is a very recent theater and problems will almost certainly appear. I haven't faced a similar problem in this theater yet.

Hi

It could be something in the CJ's data files causing the issues as I think the most worked on version is the CG IIRC. Have you got a save game where the problem can be replicated as it could be of interest to the F4UT data guys.

BTW - There should be updates for most if not all the other F16 variants that are in the database for SP4. So the problem maybe resolved there anyway.

Later
