Nothing was resupplied
« on: October 22, 2012, 09:50:49 AM »
Trinity Map.  Radar Factory 70%.  Supplies flown from A65 to the Radar Factory, with multiple drops.  About one third of the drops made at that damaged factory site, resulted in "Nothing was resupplied" message. Checked the building downtime and nothing appears not to have been affected.

The result was confirmed and duplicated by Snailman during this time.  I was puzzled because I had not read that there was any time limit or supply limit for individuals resupplying, but  :headscratch: was wondering what had gone wrong?  I even filmed and took a screenie of the supplies disappearing into the dust right next to a group of downed buildings.

Supply drops     

The C-47, LVT(A)-2, SdKfz 251 and M-3 have the capability to drop supplies on a damaged field or strategic resource to shorten the downtime.  These object supplies will repair all resupplyable objects in a one mile radius from the point where the supplies land.

My method included landing at the strat and rolling to 'apparent' concrete and ending flight.  Although the concrete looks the same as that in Towns and at HQ, where I regularly land successfully, I received "you have ditched" message.  I then again flew from A65 runway to resupply.  When I received 'nothing....' message on third supply, I began monitoring the placement of each box and also got confirmation from Snailman of him receiving the same message.

wonder if it was your factory...meaning that it my have the wrong country value on the map.
They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

Problems with Trinity?

*passes out another pitchfork and torch*
:devil

Seriously though, this isn't only happening after rearming the resuply cargo to redrop, is it? (a widely known issue... sorry if you were the last to know about this sir).  With resuplying bases and strats, you have to land and re-up with a "virgin" shipment each time you wish to rearm a base or the strats/HQ.

Also, another longstanding (and questionabley intended issue) feature is that you can not land at friendly strats to succesfuly land in an ac.

I have successfuly landed supplies at strats although not with the most recent patch probabley.  If you are not having sucess with a "virgin" shipment, then this may be an issue. 

Otherwise everything seems to be working as intended with your examples.

Thanks Babalon, but I never knew that you were ever able to reload any cargo, so all of my cargo supplies were "virgin".  On every sortie, I launched from the hangar onto the runway, and never re-armed.  That is why I was genuinely surprised when  I received this message after doing nothing different than the previous 2 or 3 sorties.  Only on one sortie did I bail, and then launch from the hangar.  All other sorties I landed on concrete in the factory strat (or attempted to = one occasion crashed) and received a ditch.

Just my opinion, but landing on concrete in friendly territory should be a constant.  When rules change (if there has been a change), I would request that someone send out UPS hauler to staple such explanation of change to my forehead.  Otherwise, I am likely to stumble into the abyss as if the world's largest magnet has pulled me in that direction.
