Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
Are you speaking of the lighting patterns on the ground?? Its just the way the lighting is coded/depicted. Its nothing particularly wrong with your graphics 'fang. It looks the same for all airbases in Balkans Theater.
Cheers
JollyThanks,
It is not just patterns, well sort of, black and gray triangles.
The moment I jump into cockpit, everything seems ok, but the next second it turns out like this, when the lightning calculation comes into play, like everything in front of these lightning looses textures, ammo truck and else become black.
Somehow there is no light reflection sources on objects under these lightning.
When spawned in other places, eg in front of HAS hangars , it seems ok. No such behavior, but then again there are no no these lights around.
So, I guess it is possible that it is because of those lightning on poles.
Are you sure it is normal? It is DX9 , so there must be some sort of color gradiancy , shadows, tnl lightning, could it be that something is messed up with lightning or my config settings. ?
I’ve tried , literally everything , from adjusting to disabling every possible advanced graphics option, so it lefts me to believe that problem is like you’ve said, in the bms graphics engine.
The other thing is that it shouldn’t be
Then I’m in a wrong place, I’ve should posted this in general section, not in balkans theatre.
I hope someone from graphics department will check this out.Cheers

Is this doing it with older terrain or just the new terrain?

Confirmed, both.
Both, with old, original Balkans, and with the trees update, and now with newest with airbase patch .Now I’ve tried to speedup time from the ramp start to see what will happen until dawn.
My assumption was correct , the source of problem is these lightning poles. Well, not the real source. But until they shut down those mismatched ‘shading’ is in effect. Even in morning sunlight.So this is still valid. Something about way the lights dissipation and shadows are created, from the poles. Yeah it is strange, the taxi/landing lights on planes are ok, tho.

Mmmmm ok. Well I’ll add that to something I need to look at.

An issue with Varazdin Airport which houses several NATO/Coalition Squadrons. Not sure if it’s intentional or not.
Stationed at Varazdin:
Nato - 1 AV8B Squadron/1 OH58 Squadron
Croatia - 1 MI8 SQ/3 Mig21bis SQ’s
Bosnia - 1 G4 SQ/1 J22 SQImmediately when the campaign starts, the active aircraft squadrons, the 1st Sq AV8B’s and the 21st Sq Mig 21bis are re-deployed to Miribor Airport. Due to the fact that there are no Combat units between Varazdin Aiport and Koprivnica City. Two units the 2nd Tank Bn and the 3rd Motor Rife Bn move straight to Varazdin and take over the airbase and the city of Varazdin at the start of the campaign.
Now that means not only is the airbase neutralized, so is the city, the Air Defense units are gone and so are all the other reinforcement Squadrons.
Not to mention the Squads that are relocated to Miribor have to wait for several hours to generate sorties…
So there needs to be some combat units outside of Varazdin to protect it at the beginning of the campaign.
Unless of course this is intentional???

Hmm, seems it’s deeper then that, maybe relations. Will look at it some more tomorrow.
Edit: More issues are present with Red airbases along that front between Croatia and Yugoslavia with aircraft Re-deploying at the beginning of campaign?!?!

Some of those squadrons are suppose to be different relations. The blue and the red side has MiG-21s. Croatia and Serbia. Also in some of the other campaigns some helicopter and MiG-21 squadrons are on both blue and red side

I understand and am fully aware of that.
I mentioned relations for the fact that not only the blue AC SQ’s but also the Red AC SQ’s along the front between Croatia/Yugoslavia re-deploy at the beginning of the campaign. That was the point of my post’s.
The problem is, that if a player joins one of the SQ’s, at a Blue or Red AB, and I’ll compile a list of those AB’s as I’m still looking at it, that all other SQ’s(AI) will be lost. Plus the reinforcement SQ’s assigned to those AB’s.
I also see in the cam file that Parents to some Croatian objectives are parented by Yugoslavia and vice versa. So that’s an issue there.
I’ll look it further and let you know. But there’s definitely an issue here.

anyone has gps problems?
after assigning target steerpoints in recon looks like the object is not in the right coordinate. Elevation problems?regards

can you give me a specific GPS coordinate so I can look at it?

I can give you some later, I did 3 oca strike on some factories (iirc Sombor and Podgorica south factory) and I noticed no targets after the assigned stp.
thanks for reply

ok. Ill take a look around that area and see. Did you do a RAMP or Taxi? Also make sure you Cursor Zero. If you move your cursors around, that moves your steerpoint cursors around also. To reset them, you have to cursor zero. Even if you have precision stpts set, it will mess them up until you cursor zero.

Thanks for the fix, Cougar. I didn’t have trees, but did have trucks on the taxiway at GdC. Heck, I thought it was just an antiterror tactic.:p

Tested the same mission few minutes ago, I checked coordinates and cz worked, tgp cross is on my target. My problem now is to understand why my bombs and my wingman bombs missed the target. I checked with fz on hsd and the coordinates were perfectly right. Will check this missed bombs.
thanks cougar

Yup no problem.

What kind of bombs were you dropping?

Ok. Try manual lasing the target or setting your laser time to 30 seconds.

So - I’m a noob and have a quick question.
I’ve downloaded the theater, but the airbase fix file keeps tripping Mcafee as an unsafe download. Any ideas if it is a false positive?

It is not a virus. McAfee is tripping it because it is an .exe file.
