Ambient Flyover aircraft stuck

[TroyT 83]

We're having an issue where our AmbientFlyOver aircraft are getting stuck in mid-air.  I have it activated on out test server which never automatically restarts.  If I come back 8 hours after a manual restart there may be 10 of them just hanging out in mid-flight.  Many times, if you approach them, they will continue flying.  Many times they won't.  

I thought maybe it was a trigger issue, where when I look at the map with AI Markers on I can see them but maybe a player wouldn't see them and by the time they got into range the plane would continue.  I tried to approach normally but the results were the same.  I've used the stock aircraft in the config as well as other aircraft.

This was happening prior to the update.  I had disabled it a while ago and turned it back on yesterday to see if the update changed anything.  It didn't.

I (and my players) really like the effect of having them around and would like to keep them.

Hello TroyT.

To my knowledge, this should not happen.  Without me digging thru the code, you CAN do this instead:

#1 - Do not use Exile's, rather create your own

#2 - Create a timed script which will delete airplanes/jets at a set time - Example:  Every 10 minutes, they are deleted.

 

Either will work for you!

 

Do keep this in mind, it should not be happening which indicates you have an issue somewhere:

Misconfigured/Corrupt/Missing Item In Exile

Misconfigured/Corrupt/Missing Item In Some Mod

ARMA/Exile/Mod 'clash'

 

 

Again, do note - These are two solutions to your problem without me examining the code!  They do not FIX the issue, rather, they HIDE THE ISSUE!

I have this happening too, notice it started after the infiSTAR update, but that may be a case of 'post hoc ergo propter hoc'.

Hmmm, I mentioned this to infiSTAR except player vehicles were freezing mid-air but he said it's an ArmA issue. So i would bring this up with him because it only started happening for me after an infiSTAR update too.

had that problem, if you using DMS, check settings, it was freezing all AI

what Sandmanuix said, DMS freezes AI if a player is not within a certain distance of them to save your FPS. You can increase or decrease this. In this instance try increasing the freezing distance or just set to '0' to disable i believe. Freezing should go away then.
