Target and Waypoints

[Wingit]

dropping out after they've been designated.

Had this tonight: Target set for Dusseldorf.

Aiming triangle set.

Waypoints set: 4, 3, 2.

When I return to Airfield, the target aiming point has gone and the way points have all disappeared.

Anyone any idea why???

p.s. Tried it twice from different Brigade airfields.

I can't follow that. I need more specific 1.2.3... steps to follow to reproduce.

OK, my initial info. was a little sparse.

1. Logged into online game.

2. Selected French Airforce. Spawn in with a DB7.

3. Set up mission to Dusseldorf.

4. Scroll across map to Duss.

5. Select a factory and mark it with "Attack Here" triangle.

6. Scroll back(Westerly) in general direction of of originating airfield.

7. Leaving 3 or 4 waypoints as I scroll West.

8. Final check on waypoints, to see if I need to change any waypoint location.

9. Factory marker has gone.

10. As have all but the 1st waypoint.

It's never happened to me before.

Hi Wingit, I created a mission lastnight and flew a few, what I did is create the mission with the Brussels airfield as origin and target, then I add the waypoints afterwards. Have you tried that? I have 4 target set D3, D4, K5 and K8 also had 3 waypoints setup and all stayed throughout until I CTD.

Does sound like your triangle waypoints are acting like the mortar markers waypoints which were turning into reports after 1.34 was released.

Set your starting airfield as Origin and target (So the mission loop is closed)

Then setup the waypoints as normal afterwards.

Also setup the mission before you spawn a DB7

See if that made any difference?

Did everything you suggested on 1st and 2nd setup.

Origin and target the same.

Specifically didn't use "mortar target".

Will try tonight before I spawn in.

I thought I had to spawn in to set Tgt. and Waypoints?

Mission set for this evening: Dusseldorf, Factory 3

Everything set up OK.

Waypoints and target stayed put!

Must have been a temporary glich (memory?)

Anyway, all is ok now (I hope)

p.s. 8 in the box

Mortar target is a contact report and disappears very quickly.

It got fubar when we tried to make it available to mortar men.

Lost my intern who was working on it to a big ugly corporation with a sweet clean paycheck.
