phantom control problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I'm just now testing out phantom control and I ran into a problem I have. When I press use then set phantom up in the mission I recorded my phantom does not fly. It sits there and waits for me to fly it. I have followed all the steps first I recorded a track than used phantom control and only selected trace to trace the track. On the side note how would I know it has the track trace by the file size? I have a phantom track the size is 1,605 something when the actuall track is like 12,835km. Why is the  phantom track so short in size compared to the real one? Than after I traced it I converted it. After that turned phantom on and everything else off use the same mission i recorded it with and nothing happend just waiting for me to fly. One thing i notice when i press phantom then use and close out and go back on it the use button is not clicked what does that mean?

May someone help me please as usual probally sound like the ultimate nube to u guys.

	I really dont know anything about doing Phantom Tracks, but I can tell you it's VERY finnicky. Sometimes it just won't trace right and you can't get it to play back. Rhino may be able to extend some expertise.

	Well one thing you have to make sure of is that you installed phantom control by way of MODMAN. Did you do that first?, I noticed that problem along time ago when I first used Phantom Control. As far as the size of the file.. Its not going to be the same size as your LOMAC Track because its not recording all of the data pertaining to the game..like 3d graphics or other aircrafts flight data etc.. its only recording data for the aircraft.. your inputs.. ie AirSpeed, Throttle positioning, stick inputs, rudder.. etc.. . Make sure the files are in the correct folders. Make sure the only radial checked is the PHANTOM radial
