British Boston Mk. III softlocks game after mission
« on: March 10, 2025, 10:25:35 AM »

QMB or full mission, playing with a British Boston Mk. III causes the game to become unresponsive to menu selections once the mission is over.  You can choose to Refly the mission, which works, but going back to the main menu does not.

Sorry if this was already covered somewhere.

Confirm, in a clean BAT/WAW latest

Here's the full Log, too long for Pastebin, so I uploaded the whole.

Bombardier Position Bug, in the Java code. Easy to solve. When you switch to Bombardier the view Set freezes.


Thanks for the report

It is probably linked to a longstanding bombsight error which I believe dates back to when the B26 was added to BAT. I have not seen it reported before, so assumed that no one was regularly flying the Boston.

I have a solution which may works via a jgsme enabled fix - enable for the Boston, disable when you have finished as I think it clashes with the B26 (not sure). Now I'm assuming that this will work - I have never had the lockup, only that the bombsight was unavailable - so give it a try.

Extract the folder below into your BATMODS, then enable whenever you need the Boston:

P.S. Just tested - bug confirmed - and the above fix does work.

Yours,

Nice fixes.  This will make patching BAT much nicer... I think.
