Okay... I created a test mission with the sme map and planes as my friend - didn't work!?

So what? Do I have a special version of BAT, where AI is broken???

[vonofterdingen]

Could you post your errant mission so that we both run it and could take a look at it?

Did you have the same issues with the Pack of Dogs missions or the SAAF campaign? Which SAAF campaign is it, by the way?

[Seppel]

Maybe someone could "move" this discussion to here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,73712.msg801178/topicseen.html#msg801178

-> vonofterding:
You mean I should post a download link for the mission?

I did not fly the SAAF and also did not dl the "new" 303 campaign.

Will do it ... NOW!

[vonofterdingen]

Yes, if you could post a link, or the mis file with the code option, others could try in and see if they experience the same difficulties.

[Seppel]

Mmh...

So I tested SAAF short campaign and Pack of Dogs.
I activated AutoPilot, time compression and let the AI play.

Both campaigns work and AI is as aggressive as it should be!

Then I tested one of the 303 campaign missions in Single play. Same setting.
Works!

I also tested my little test mission and suddenly ths one works, too!

It os too late now, to test the 303 campaign again.


I do not understand nothing!

[vonofterdingen]

We live in a world of miracle and wonder, Seppel. Hopefully your issue is resolved. True, it would be nice to know why, but success is success!

[Seppel]

It stays weird!

I restarted the 303 campaign.
Then I let the 3rd mission (attack on Biggin Hill) run with AutoPilot, only being spectator.
Everything worked and a big airbattle went on.

Then I restarted the mission, let the AutoPilot fly me to the "battlefield".
Then I took control and ... nothing happened.
AI is "blind" again!?

This is driving me crazy!!!

later that day ...

Because of the experience written above, I REstarted the SAAF campaign and .. of course .. as soon as I take control, the AI does not do anything!

So it .. and I do not have the slightes idea how that can be ... has somethign do do with me as a player, flying the plane!?

I think about what it would be like to use the NG-HUD main menu (...using Tab key).

You need to move your fingers a little faster to give orders well.

If you meet the enemy squadron of bombers and cover fighters, you may be able to split your squadron into two parts and have them attack.

This is just the case that you're the leader. If you're just a wingman, the AIs will fight on their own.

[Seppel]

Thank you for trying to help, gunny!

Mh ... I think I tried that with no success.
Furthermore this could not bring the enemy to fight back...



Going to reinstall BAT .. Yeah .. :-(

[gunny0134]

Reinstall....

It's a pain. I've already reinstalled 1946 more than 10 times.

So the word 'reinstall' itself is even scary now....

Please get a satisfactory result after the reinstallation.

[Seppel]

Thanks for holding thumps!!

If not, I will be the end of the Seppel-BAT-relationship, I'm afraid. 
Would a pitty! ...all those marvelous campaigns, WWI aircraft, ...

(still downloading - damn, only few weeks ago I deleted all the patches, because ((I thought)) everytging was running perfect)

[Seppel]

Hi,
I report back:

After reinstalling BAT 4.3, everything works fine now.
I am re-flying the 303rd squadron campaign and its a lot of fun!
