‘Apply’ (or something) button doesn’t fit into a Flight edit screen on a 768p display?

used the “old” MC with great succes, but the FEB18 version completely ****ed my savegames up
no matter what i change (SQ AC, location,…), the result is thisabout 3 seconds after i load the campaign, all friendliy AC jump to this posiiton and stay there motionless. da heck?? campaign flow coming to a complete stop respectively…
I have seen this kind of mess during one of our evening at my wing and happened well before 18/02 and in Balkans (sorry I can’t reacall more details at the moment)…

falcas,
i did some troubleshooting on this matter, as follows:-
i used MC out of the .zip file on a WIN8.1 machine instead of extracting the content to a folder: problem occured. WIN smartscreen tried to convince me not to execute this .exe (inconclusive reports…!?). then my norton antivirus software tried to do the same, clicked on execute anyways. i then saved the campaig (plane in odd alignment) and loaded it again and all planes flew from the odd posiition back to their respective steerpoints in regular speed. solved, kind of!?
-
did the exact same thin on a win10 machine: same result, but planes never moved again (from the odd alignment), had to delete the savegame.
-
executed MC from an extracted folder on the WIN10 machine, antivirus and smartscreen did their thing, but the problem was gone. i can now us it the way it is intended.
i recently saw a post in the balkans thread where somebody reported this exact problem in a campaign environment, might want to check it out.
hope that helps you a little bit!?

Why run any program out of a zip file?
In the first post it clearly says…Just unpack the 7z in a place you like. Example: C:\MissionCommander.
So not a MC problem from the start than…

I no longer have MC 5.1, but it would be interesting to see if the version of MC used to add a squad makes any difference in the campaign behavior. If someone could make MC 5.1 available I would test it.
-
Doesnt. Did it many times over…
-
Falcas my friend, it would be nice to have a kind of copy and paste units for easy population of ground units mainly in an scenario, without repeating id of course.
do you think it can be possible?
-
You have 2 options for this in the current version.
First one is for quickly setting up an airdefence network.
Go to Advanced Unit options and look for “Add AAA to Campaign” and “Add SAM to Campaign”.
Select the type of object you want to populate, the type of battalion and the range for the battalion Name.
Press the button.The second option is to place complete Brigades to the mission. Brigades can be build up of 5 battalions as you like. And don’t forget to save or load these Brigades.
This way you can create scenarios very quickly.
More features later on.

All old version remain on the website, so you can download them.

Thanks Falcas, but I am refering to a fast creation of armored units. For Sam and AAA is perfect your application.
In tacedit you can copy and paste units, do you have planned something like that in MC?
-
MC already has a Clone Flight feature, adding something similar for Battalions is quickly done.

That would be very helpful, I am in charge of new campaign creation in my sqn, and that feature would increase MC performance a lot from campaign creation point of view, an easy way to clone units and easy way to spit on the map also

For Campaign creation you are much much faster and complete by adding Brigades instead of adding single Battalions.
Check out the Add Brigade featureGr Falcas

So… ugh… any chance to get buttons moved around / resized to fit into 768p screen?

Hey Falcas, I just started getting the following error in a saved campaign file. Do you know if this means the campaign is corrupt and I need to start over again or if this is just a bug or something messed up with my install and I can just ignore and continue?

Hey,
Beside you can have a quick look at your campaign file if everything is ok… which should be.
The error is because of the mouse contact on the map code, so no need to worry.Gr Falcas

What are Objective Delta?
Also for features in an objective how do I set them to be displayed in the targets list in recon in Falcon?

Thanks Falcas

:lol: I actually asked that?
OMG never mind guys… I forgot I have to set a value in value field in objective in feature edit In Falcon Editor…
Oh dear… Face palm…

No worries
But to give a more complete answer.
Objectives are fixed for a mission and can’t be changed.
The only way to change a Objective is to change the Database with the BMS editor. As you wrote, increasing the Value for a Feature will make it show up in the target list.Objectives are also in the te_new.tac and saveX.cam files. This is actually placing them on the map and setting the owner.
The Objective Delta is for changes when a campaign is running. For example an objective gets taken over by the enemy or the objective gets damage.
In this case a Delta is being created whichs hold the “change” information.Gr Falcas
