4.37 U6 Preplanned Steerpoints Stuck in Campaign Map
-
Currently working my way through the Iron Fortress campaign in the KTO Theater. I started another KTO campaign prior to this (Rolling Fire) and decided to try something more challenging. During my Rolling Fire campaign, I set a few preplanned steerpoints and steerpoint lines to mark threats and the front line. When I switched over to Iron Fortress (brand new campaign), my steerpoints were still on the map.
I tried deleting the steerpoints to clear out everything and saving the map state once they were visibly gone. When I reload a campaign save, the steerpoints reappear on their own. I have also tried deleting the existing ones and entering new ones, saving and exiting, restarting the game, and flying new missions. The old steerpoints persist on the map for some reason.
Is there some specific order I should be doing these steps to set up new steerpoints for this campaign?
Edit: Not a bug! I figured it out. It’s tied to Link 16 in the DTC. Clicking Link 16 Plan and Saving DTC afterward added the new preplanned steerpoints.

no, it is not connected to Link16 at all, but is related where it is saved. Where? On your ini files.
In the manual there is an explanation about the campaign file ini and your pilot ini files, and how they are used. -

I’m not sure this is supposed to work so.

@SignorMagnifico
I was about to suggest checking DTC

@tiag Thank you! The way I solved it and what has worked for me consistently has been updating the threat steerpoints/steerpoint lines on the map, joining a flight, loading the Link 16 plan from that flight into my DTC, and saving the DTC.
