Solved JTAC small bug
-
First I would like to say Thank You for JTAC it is fun and works really well. Now for a small bug. When setting up a “Preplanned CAS” mission there are 2 target steerpoints. Usually 5 and 6. Steer 5 will usually be the point with the target I selected when setting up the package. If I leave steerpoint 6 alone, JTAC works as designed and all targeting information is for steerpoint 5. But if I drag steerpoint 6 to any target, no matter how far from the friendly ground unit, steerpoint 6 becomes the primary target. All information. Echo, 9Lines, smoke, lasing. everything is for the targets at steerpoint 6. I have tested this on several Campaigns in the KTO theater.

i’m sorry I don’t understand your bug report
Could you clarify ?

This is the mission I created using the Add Package command in BMS. I edited it to add the 1st Airborne to provide JTAC. I flew it an everything worked perfectly.
But with 4 flyers I wanted an alternate target so I moved steerpoint 6 over a target. Steerpoint 5 is still targeting the 223rd tank battalion.
Now the 1st Airborne will only report information for steerpoint 6 the 193rd motor rifle battalion even though I am targeting the 223rd battalion at steerpoint 5.
To test it out I moved steerpoint 6 76 miles away to another target. Re flew the mission again. When I get in range of the 1st Airborne it gave me info for the target 76 miles away, not for the target still at steerpoint 5.
Note: Even if i delete steerpoint 6 JTAC give info for where steerpoint 6 used to be! I had to delete the whole package and recreate it to get the mission to target steerpoint 5 again.

Yes, you edited/changed the target steerpoint , but original mission target for created package was the same
What happened (and is normal btw) , when you create package mission , right-click on a target battalion or whatever , you create mission just for that target , if you want another target then create package mission
- right-clicking on blank , create S&D (search ‘n’ destroy) type mission , only CAS (not preplanned, not call-on cas)
But since no “exact” target …, but rather what you find , maybe mission will result as fail , even you destroyed some targets … some stuff about scoring will have to be reworked in update
Best bet is just create new package for new target. voila
