Type : Bug, could be from my end
Area : Mission

Description:
We have 4 portable TACAN stations on the mission which stopped working completely when we onboarded tactical paddles to the server. Server is the The Hornet’s Nest Training Server New Player Friendly | Fox3ms.com V8-130 . I think we are the only ones facing it so I am not sure what I did wrong in my mission or could be something else.

I will try to send across the log file when the server resets.

To debug will it be possible for me to download and run Tactical Paddles locally?

I am with the Hornet School and MaskedHornet13

I was not sure where to post it so I thought I will post it in here, if I have to shift it around I can do that

All good posting it here. "maskedHornet" contacted me with the same issue.
Probably the same server and you're working together :). I'll reply what I replied to them as well (since it'll be the same logs).

Alright, so what I do notice is that on the server that does not work the models for TACAN_beacon cannot even be loaded.
I'm still looking, but I mean, if it's indeed using mods it might be worth looking into that first...
Which doesn't occur in the other log.

See the above snippet of the error log.

Is you mission using any mods at all?

What I think is happening:

  1. The server has corrupt models
  2. The tacan beacon cannot be loaded in the mission due to those missing models.
  3. The tacan beacon does not work.

Tactical Paddles cannot be downloaded, but paddles uses DCS-gRPC on the server side.
That is open source. (rust-server) specifically.
Here at TDCS we have used portable Tacan stations that work fine. Of course we have Paddles monitoring our servers as well 🙂

One thing to do note. I changed the Bug to Miscellaneous.
DCS-gRPC does not edit, alter, update, change or remove any models.
Simply put: While it may seem suspicious that the missions works on server A without paddles and doesn't on server B, there's no other evidence in the logs that Tactical Paddles or the rust-server is the issue at all.
Sadly there's other things that can go wrong as well and a lot of variables can change from installation to installation.

Seeing the logs above a unopenable model seems to be more of a corrupt installation than anything else.
Which may be why it works on Server A and not on Server B.

Possibly a ticket at Fox3 with the logs would result in a repair, which might fix it.
In any case, there's errors in the graphics layer, yet Tactical Paddles d

yeah we are working together, will go through the mission and see which model it is, could be a mod because we do not have any drones on the server

will do thanks for the help

dapper vale
#

No problem, keep me updated 🙂
Happy to help get any server running of course

#

I loaded the .miz up on one of the TDCS server.
Which does have tactical paddles of course 🙂

Tacan beacons work fine.

oh perfect, thanks dude.

Yeah will get the Fox3 server repaired along.

Thanks again and also this is an epic tool.
