Cant see a single thing in this even with the brightness all the way up.

Burd, love the mission and see that you've recently updated it. Been playing it in SP since the update and noticed a glitch with the glider at airfield 2. Unlike the glider at airfield 1 it doesn't detatch properly when the player reaches the coast and the player ends up stuck following the C-47s.

Also, on the comments that people are having that the map is sparse allies wise- the game puts out a faction about a lack of support groups when the mission starts, and all Allied units who are supposed spawn in through Alive appear in the virtual AI but never actually spawn on the battlefield. The player can see their virtual icons moving or engaging in combat, but they don't physically exist, or sometimes will get stuck unable to move at all. Furthermore, there are times they do briefly appear physically, but then the units will instantly despawn and get stuck in an infinite loop spawning in and spawning out.

is something in place to stop ACE from working? cant find a way to use it

This is a nice Scenerio, but no ACE?

Hey Burdy, just out of interest how did you get the AI gliders to work properly? I've tried them and they seek to land at an airfield even when there is none.

I'm realizing now that the night in this mission is utterly moonless, however the actual night drop prior to D-Day was done under a full moon, adjusting the date in the editor to a later date produces a more realistic lighting situation, there must be a problem in the moon phase calculation somewhere.

Is this mission excessively dark to anybody else? I have adjusted various brightness/gamma settings both ingame and on my monitor and everything is always pitch black. I don't mind fighting in low light but my screen is literally pitch black in all situations that don't contain fire or muzzle flashes, and even then visibility is near nil. The preview screenshots here on the workshop do not look like this.

Long long time since I've worked on this mission. I noticed the AI jump thing, I can give that a look. The AI spawning thing @magicbass seems to be an ALIVE thing- I tried it recently and it worked for me.

@hotshot It exists but that's an ALIVE thing. Unfortunatley the allies tend to drop the ball quickly from time to time and that's outside of my control. I also don't believe the AI is capable of revival.

And: is there no "AI commander" (meaning AI squads, armor, ...) that are working along side me? I've seen one or two friendly squads at the beginning, but nothing else since; and now the enemy is attacking with tanks

It seems the AI is not capable of reviving?

My group played this three months ago and played through perfectly. Today we played it again and once the planes were in the air there were about four ALiVE errors. And throughout the rest of the mission neither the US or German ai were moving around or behaving correctly.

Is this mission still being worked on? I've been having some fun with it but getting the AI to jump out of the 47s is a problem. An old comment mentioned Jump packs but they don't seem to still be in the mission

I also noticed it took longer than 10 minutes to start it was closer to 15 minutes.

I got in a glider with my squad but I wasn't able to pilot it or detach it from the c-47 towing it until the c-47 despawned out of the playable area. Did I do something wrong?

coming up with a lot of errors prob why you cant open

i cant open the scenraio it says CUP_CAMisc has been deleted

@Burdy, I have checked and the mission is playing through at normal speed. 10 minutes from the mission start the planes set off and the initialization screen loads. Once that screen clears the plane which i have boarded explodes over the sea/water

@Lord_Quas Make sure you're not speeding up time at all prior to the drop

Help please, everytime I try play this mission the plane explodes during the initialisation screen and kills my player. How can I fix this, really want to play this mission. Thanks in advance :)

Okay cool I realize now I had just regular infantry with no jump packs

@German Croisdale - I'm going to work on the mission tonight. What I may do is make it so when you're boarding the planes, only the jumppack variants can be recruited and vice versa

@chuges_1672 - Thanks!

@German Croisdale - They should automatically when the light turns green. If they dont, make sure you recruit the airborne variant with the jump packs on at the flagpole (which are the doubled units on the bottom of the recruit list).

When in the plane how do I get my AI squad to eject with me?

@Burdy - Thanks for the reply. Awesome job on this!

@chughes_1762 - Ah I remember why. You need the US Radio Backpack on in order to have access to the C2ISTAR. Forgot about that

@Burdy - I am logged in as admin. However, I am not given the option to bring up the commander screen as usual. I am given 3 options. Player, Admin, and Module. There is no C2ISTAR or something of that nature to bring up the commander's tablet, or am I missing an ALIVE update and some key to bring this up?

@chughes_1672 - Via being logged in as the admin. Just revealed all profiled groups and went into the commander screen

How do you get the tablet as pictured in the screenshot? This isn't an option in my alive menu for this mission

@Ghost - yes

@17_irons - yeah feel free to PM me, would need more explanation as to what the buggyness is

is this mod still being supported?

So the ability to save works very normally, but the result of loading, so far at least, is very buggy. I totally get it if you don't have time to trouble-shoot this for the SP people, but I'd be happy to keep giving you details and doing QA/QC+ for you if you want the help! I'm going to add you on here so we can do this by PM or discord so long as you're down.

Interesting. So I finally tried my first "load" not too long after landing in France (maybe 10 minutes of play time in France?) I only have a single save that I made *after* landing, and the other 2 test saves I made *before* landing work fine. Will keep testing, but it seems that saves made after the departure from England may be corrputed. More coming. Thanks again anyways bro!

So far so good! Will let you know soon as I dive deeper into the mission. Thanks a ton dude.

Jesus dude. Gonna try it out now. You're the man! Btw, if you need any help with anything, I am eager to get into modding for this game, and have experience with other games, but am open to learn whatever it takes for this one. I'm late to this game in particular, but currently quite obsessed. Hit me up if you want to have someone to do some of the grunt work for now, in hopes that I can learn some of the more helpful stuff in the future. Buet yeah, time to try it out in SP now. Thanks again!

@17_irons - Updated

@17_irons - Saving being disabled in single player is an ALIVE thing (due too the high amounts of memory it requires, the game will usually crash). Saving works great in multiplayer w/ the ALIVE war room.

A workaround to this (which I recommend, as you get better performance), is running the mission through a locally hosted dedicated server that only you have access to, and then when you're done, save via the ALIVE war room.

But regardless of what I just posted above, I will update the mission momentarily and enable single player saving - so if you want to test if it works with the 64 bit Arma client, let me know what the results are.

So just curious here... I'm trying to play in single player but it seems saves were disabled? Is there a workaround for this or was this intentional? (what an incredible mod regardless btw! thanks) If there is some way to enable saving that would be incredibly helpful as I've got a bit of a busy and crazy household!

@Meowchompers - yeah, should be on the mission select screen when you host a server!

Hmmm ok, ill look again. I didnt see the reset button anywhere

@Meowchompers - Yeah should reset like any other arma mission. Make sure ALIVE isnt conflicting if you're running through the warroom?

Is there a way to restart the map in order to play from the begining? Im trying to play it with friends but it keeps loading my previous saves

@BladesofWoe of course. Enjoy!

@Burdy Thanks!, I noticed that as well after saying that, thanks for the fast feedback as well !

@BladesofWoe - Right. Thanks for the heads up. This was an oversight on my part. I accidently left the script which launched the planes from the airfield on an extremely low countdown from when I was testing. That's why the countdown meter wasn't synced with what was happening, nor with the planes themselves. Fixed and updated - you should be all good to go now.

@Burdy There is no option to board on the rear driver side door, or the other??? I don't see any C-47s on the airstrip either.

@BladesofWoe just walk up to I believe the rear driver side door.

How do you board the Gliders?

@JB thanks for the heads up - this was due to the latest IFA3 update removing/renaming an object on the map. Fixed and updated!

Hi,
I don´t get it to work. When starting game this message comes over:
steam/_cur_sp:I44_Omaha_V2/mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item1732.type:Vehicle class
snow_obj_snow no longer exists

All required lmods are loaded
Thanks in advance for your help

@Acsriot Hotfix uploaded, should be good to go! Be sure to reset A3 to get the update
