OFM-Taiwan for BMS 4.37
-
Hi there
I get a CTD when flying in the campaign - approx 4-5 minutes into a mission. The game stutters two or three times and then goes back to the desktop without any error or crash notifications.
I have noticed I get a quick chirp on the RWR at the same time and this happened in 1.5 and 1.7.3.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Good Day, All. We’ve been busy lately but work continues. I wanted to pass along a tip if you happen to get a ctd in an OFM Theater, especially if it’s an “Airplane Class” error in the crash log text… Go into Mission Commander and delete all F-35A squadrons and flights.
We suspect there’s something in that jet’s FM that BMS isn’t liking . We’re looking for a more long term solution -
@wat680 Thanks, Ferde. Yes, Wat, it’s worth trying. We first noticed it recently in the Libya Theater testing. We removed the 35A, no more ctd’s. Then , I was flying in Nevada and had a ctd. I did the same thing, no more ctd.
It’s not as weird as it may sound. We’ve known for a long time that BMS is sensitive to what’s in acdata files. Nor is it weird that it happens even if you’re not flying the 35A yourself. Each object, jet, whatever has a “bubble” around it. If you get inside that bubble, it can trigger errors.
Anyway, that has become our Quick Fix Try This #1. However, we are troubleshooting the 35A files. We know several people like that jet, so we’re not going to exclude it. -
@Ferde
Thank you for your suggestion.
I also faced same trouble as Wat. I deleted F35A from teplanes.lst and flied a few times without any CTD.Actually, the campagin does not have any F35A sqdns but CTD has occured.
Anyway thanks again, I can fly Taiwan Theater without fear of sudden CTD grom now on.
-
Hey - thank you for this.
I deleted both F35A’s from teplanes.lst and also tried going through Mission Commander and doing the same inside the save game file, but I still get the CTD at the same point orbiting at steerpoint 4 waiting to push.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Friend.
I have delete all type of F-35 from campaign, not only A also B and C.If you have sqdn of any F-35, try delete all from campaign.
-
Hi Fox
Thanks for that - I deleted all F35’s from the campaign save file, and from teplanes.lst but the CTD happens at roughly the same point in the same mission.
Any more ideas?
Cheers

DaveHi, Dave. I fly the F-35 C a lot, and for me removing the A solved that particular bug, so you may have another issue. Are you flying the latest version? https://discord.com/channels/797936162638659594/1021169991367806976/1103464834651132015 in our Discord ofm-release channel.
Also, where specifically are you having the problem? In some testing I had issues just north of Zhihang on the east coast. I was loitering doing Pre-Planned CAS and on the 3-4th run it would ctd -
@drtbkj Thanks for this - I’ll come back to you with the exact location, but just so I am getting the process for deleting F35’s correct, I went into Mission Commander, opened my saved game, went to units tab and the units/planes tab and deleted references to the F35 - is that all I need to do?
Cheers

DaveHi, Dave… Well, I only deleted the 35A but that’s your choice. Yes, I went into MC and deleted the 35 from the squadron and flight tabs, then did the normal applies and saves.
When I start a new campaign I save it separately, for example “Airwolf Last Stand” I do that so I can test things while leaving the Save files stock. The point is I deleted the 35A’s from that file. I would think you would get the same result from choosing Auto-save in MC.
You could do it directly in the appropriate Save File, but you’d have to start a new campaign from it. The saves are Save 0 for Last Stand through Save 4 for Peaceful Day -
@drtbkj Hi again, ok so I tried deleting using a few different permutations and creating new campaign saves etc and modifying Save0.cam and I still get the same CTD. It occurs anywhere across the island at any time of day. But, I have flown a couple of missions were there was no CTD and I covered a fair bit of ground. I actually thought it might be SA10’s crashing my computer when they locked me up, but it turns out they are quite happy to just crash my plane instead.
Any other ideas?

Instructions are there.
Also, do you have version 1.7.3 installed? -
@drtbkj Hi again - yep I’ve got 1.7.3 installed. Can you send me an invite to the discord server? Sorry for being a noob!
Cheers

Good Day, All . I received a pm about AI having problems landing at Basco in the Taiwan Theater. Basco is right at the SE corner of the map. In fact, you have to be full-screen to see it. Anyway, here is the fix-https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/k7gs27ceq8wxvg1/LMR_hill_in_the_way_fix_for_AI_landing.rar/filez

@drtbkj is this file still available somewhere?

@Obi1 , I’ve got a copy …

Can you share some screenshots of the terrain?

@LMR-74 could you share the file somewhere?
