Downloaded 2.6 MP Carrier, not available in MP?

Postby LesterBoffo » Sun Mar 04, 2012 8:29 pm

I'm finding that with "local" mp carrier players running the Nimitz near KSFO that when I try to select the carrier from the MP list it says that there are no mp carriers with range, even though the closest one is only 8 miles distant.

This feature used to work flawlessly in 2.4, what changed?

FlightGear got more efficient with respect to loading AI models - MPCarrier relies on Nasal code attached to the MP/AI model - which now isn't loaded until you are within 10000m of the MP carrier player. Increase /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-detailed to find carriers further out.

The Google discussion doesn't supply a clear answer though, does it? I'll check my console again.

I tried this while circling over the MP carriers 'spot' at about 1000' feet up and it still didn't load, so I'll check my lod settings again.

Hmm.. that must be another problem. Do you see any suspicious Nasal errors in the console?
See comment 12 here http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=555 for some information of what to expect in the console (the patch there should be in 2.6.0).

Well I tried increasing my AI/MP lod distance to 28,000 meters and after about 5 minutes the more distant of the two carriers became available. Should they both be available to chose between?

Yes. Did you get the startup messages from one or both MP players in the console?

I had another funny issue today. I was flying out of KSFO to the MP Nimitz CVN-76. Alltogether there were 3 (three) MP Nimitz online. 4.5NM away, I hit pause and selected the CVN-76. It appeared but when I tried to land, I went through it. Console showed a bunch of Nasal errors related to an F-14 but nothing about the Nimitz. I was using an EC135. I had this error once before.

I've noticed that with 2.6, I have to wait a minute or so before pulling down the menu to select an MP carrier, or it will say there aren't any.

Yes I checked this after you asked and I'm getting what appears to be the correct console messages. But as Someguy has already mentioned it takes a few moments to link up to a working mp-carrier, sometimes it only selects the first one in the pilot's list if there is more than one online.
