    I’m afraid I’ll lose my job if I don’t go to work I only have three hours unpaid time left and I have 11 hours vacation but you can’t call that in. I feel miserable. It happens when I’m awake too but when I’m in bed I get winded heart beating harder as soon as I hit the pillow but it gets better then as your about to crash you get jolted up by your heart beating and can’t catch your breath. I’d probably upset everyone in the house if I become a burden as I’m not liked much. I have to sleep on the couch until wife goes to work. So many people here I don’t try to cook for myself I tried a couple of times but didn’t work out just always in somebody’s way. I have to eat fast food all meals. Get chewed out all the time for everything so yeah I’m a tough bird but I think life is catching up. Don’t know about tonight but if I can’t sleep again I’m hurting because I have to work tomorrow also.

    Beat all I have Cholesteatomas in my left ear. Only surgery can fix it. My right ear had the same problem and I had surgery on 9 11 same day the airplanes crashed into the trade center. I could hear before surgery but after not much nearly deaf . I haven’t even taken a blood pressure pill or diabetes drug for almost a year now. I just go I guess I’m not happy here but I have two kids I don’t want them upset. I did run away twice once to the Philippines and once more because of the same woman in the Philippines but the wife tracked me down on the Eastern side of the USA before at my parents before I could leave for the Philippines again. That was two years ago and my dad according to my mom has gone way done hill. She has to pay the bills now he can’t remember nothing. She ain’t well either. Abby the girl from the Philippines she was really nice and she liked cooking. I do miss her. I guess I’ve nothing left but to kill over anyway beats this madhouse.

    Well I did make it to work. Don’t feel really good but I’m working. Bad part I’m on the third floor so all those stairs. Yesterday I was on the forth floor. Hopefully I’ll catch a break and get some shut eye or I’ll be in trouble tomorrow. Y’all hold the fort down while I’m at work.

    DW, please seek treatment. No job is worth working yourself to death. I lost my dad to CHF. He was active all his life and even went to the YMCA at 5AM, 3 days a week to workout at the age of 85. This hit him out of the blue and treatment at least gave us 4 more years with him.

    DW: Back in 2010 I had chest pains while shoveling snow. I saw my doc, who sent me to the naval hospital for a stress test and catheterization. They kept me and 2 days later I had a triple bypass.

    Get checked out, my friend. You only get one life.

    CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!! I had what I thought was a bad cold, and after bullying by my family, went (walked into) the ER. Half an hour later, after an enzyme test, the duty nurse told me I'd had a heart attack. Two weeks later, my doctor, whom I've known since I was four years old, told me I was 50/50 for the transplant list. I was that close to being in real trouble. Now I ride my bike to work every day, doing a minimum of 10 miles through the winter. DON'T give up; don't try and self-diagnose; CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!

    Thanks friends. Yeah last testing I did I had what’s called an enlarged heart but haven’t been to the doctor since. To be honest I think I just about gave up and said if it’s time to go so be it. Good news I slept good last night no catches my breath keeping me up. My heart has been acting funny for years and I expect it flames up goes down or I don’t know but years ago I remember I was having issues and they kept telling me nothing wrong with your heart. I could stand up and get out of breath but nothing was wrong. I hà test ran. Last time was first time they actually saw anything the enlarged heart but my past I don’t know what to do especially I don’t want to miss work go there and hear nothing wrong I’m just stating my experience. I guess you might say I’m not a big fan of doctors but that’s been my experience and I’m sure others wouldn’t be alive without them but me I guess I’m bad luck I don’t know.

    Aussie, I'm using the Alphasim Ju87 D-3.

    My son came up with a suggestion.

    Why not make a way point near by,a few miles away, you can warp to after all the tasks you want happen are completed.This way all the planes should form up there.

    First I want to apologize for tainting the thread but I wouldn’t have done it if I wasn’t scared. This thread is about a dive bomber issue not a dying lunatic or whatever. As far as I can tell and I’m certainly going to be upfront with you I’m not the sharpest cookie out there but I did have a good night of sleep last night. What we know so far is the behavior of the aircraft going where they are suppose to be going isn’t working. The theory that it’s the air file is starting to look questionable since the Val didn’t do the job either. This to me sounds like a mission problem and something is not in sync. Not meshing together right leaving the bombers to for whatever reason to be confused after their bomb load. I recommend finding another mission as close to yours as possible and it doesn’t matter it’s Val’s Stukas or Chinese clones of them it’s just for study purposes. See what’s different and make changes closer to yours until it doesn’t work either then you will start to see what’s going on and be able to avoid that issue in the future. You might also want to upload the mission here for somebody to take a look at. We are all together here as a team or that’s what I hope. You got my back I got yours. I don’t know a great deal yet on missions but I’ve certainly have stopped what I was doing to help others with a issue I could fix. Wasn’t that long ago I helped Hertzie to get a skin to show up added a panel and also some custom title screens so if it’s something I could do I’ll do it. Anyway sorry I couldn’t give a solùi on to the problem but I don’t think anybody else has either and I would like you get that mission to do what you want it to do. That’s all Folks any other suggestions other than me to stop writing books and adding brief reponses instead?

    Thanks _486_Col_Wolf,

    I have it now and will run some tests.

    Hiede,

    That's a good idea and what I had been doing in my tests. Now I have the correct aircraft I'll run more tests, but I think it's essential to get them to warp as they showed a tendency to ignore waypoints after they make bombing runs. Thank your son for me too, I really appreciate his input on this.

    DW, just make sure you get yourself all checked out. Don't make come over there dressed like this


    Cheers

    Thanks fellas and something tells me Hiede and her son has you heading down the right path and I just want to say thanks for everyone who was concerned about me. I’m still hoping to get my life back on track and hopefully health enough to enjoy it but we will see.

    You know as well as I do that when it comes to CFS2 thinks I get ignored a lot.After all the men know more.As for son he is only 12 and they think"What does he know?"They seem to forget we have all of Talon's notes on how to do things and just have to look it up.

    DW...

    ..... that link I sent you is from the Cleveland Institute. In the link they refer to stress and its' effects READ it , some may pertain to you. But do get checked out. Even if is by LIfe Line Screening (or as I refer to it as scamming . Pers. opinion there.)

    Heide,

    I have known you for close to 15yrs, if not longer, and value your input as much as anyone else's here. Same with your son too and in my opinion he would know more, without a doubt, than myself when it comes to mission designing. I actually look forward to his missions and know they will be a great addition for everyone here.

    Cheers

    I don’t think it matters if a person is a man or woman we all have a right to be here and voice our thoughts and as far as I’m concerned it doesn’t matter much to me whether it’s me who comes up with the winning solution or Betty Sue I just like try helping if possible. Some of the smartest people i know are women and they sure got the best of me.

    Wolf,

    I thought you were doing BOB period missions, why are you using the Alphasim Ju87D?

    Yeah the Stuka modal quoted would not be around in the earlier parts of the war but I saw someone I believe at simaviation use the George in a Peal Harbor mission upload that’s really confusing.

    Heide, I will try the warp-to waypoints as an alternative. There's a lot about the way the sim operates that I still don't understand so I'm not sure what effect that will have since the AC that ignore the waypoints are not in my flight. They are AC that I'm escorting. The way I understand it, if you warp, your entire flight goes to your next way point but other flights just appear along the route they are taking (whether the route is correct or not) once the warp time is allotted.

    As far as the model Stuka, it's what I had on hand and was going to look into a more period appropriate model once I get the mission working correctly. Since the Val didn't correct the problem I assume switching to an earlier Stuka won't make a difference once the mission is working.

    From what my son said the AI planes will warp with you to the next way point.If you set the mission up right all the way points from the different flights should be in the same area,so naturally they should warp at the same time and meet up.

    You seem to forget this sim is over 20 years old and not everything is going to work perfectly or the way you want.After being at SOH for as long as you have been,you should know this by now as it has been discussed many times over the years.I think you expect to much from this old sim.

    when using warp to get misbehaving AI planes to follow waypoints, you need to ensure that they don't fly too far away in the wrong direction before you warp.

    I actually have the same problem that Col. Wulf has. I'm escorting Akemi D3A1 and Cpt. Kurt's D3A2 divebombers, and they also go anywhere after their bombrun. I tried all sorts of tracks and distances on the waypoints before and after the attack, nothing seems to work.

    I had the same idea that Hiede posted, and in a way it does work, however...
    While the bombers attack and then go anywhere I'm busy with intercepting fighters, and therefore am not able to warp. By the time I finally get rid of the enemy fighters, and warping is possible once more, the D3As have already covered some distance on their way to wherever.
    Now, when I hit Warp, my flight goes to the next waypoint on my flightplan at the speed I set when building the mission. The AI divebomber flight also goes toward the next waypoint in its flightplan at the assigned speed, but starts at the position it has reached when I warp my flight.
    So the do proceed towards their next waypoint, but where they actually are at the moment I come out of warp at my next waypoint depends on where they were when I warped. They are somewhere enroute to their waypoint, but definitely not at that waypoint.
    For the player and the AI flight to end up in the same area, they would have to be also in the same area when warp is used, and have the same assigned speed.
    With the divebombers going in some random direction after their attack, and the player flight tied up with enemy fighters and not able to warp for some time, unfortunately, this approach to the problem doesn't work.

    That's what I discovered trying to make this sort of mission work. Sorry to say, I didn't get any closer to finding a solution for the problem...

  25. #50
    Skylane, that's the results I got when trying the warp to solution. The only thing I can find is the Catagory set in the AI aircraft DP file. Cat3 for AI dive bombers gives you this problem in land based attacks (mission type: strike). Also, I found that Cat3 dive bombers tend to crash into the sea when attacking ships. Cat10 dive bombers attacking ships go the right route and turn for home but glide bomb when doing so. Cat2 level bombers striking land based targets do the same with no problems. It's got to be something with CFS2 not liking Cat3 dive bombers attacking land based targets. But Cat3 is the only way to get them to roll over and go straight down at the target.
