Title: Can't select perk bomber
Post by: Bogiee on February 28, 2005, 08:29:58 PM

Tried to select an AR234 with 158 perk points and got an error message: You don't have enough points for that plane.  Cost was 82 points.

Am I missing something?

If you are flying in formation...you have to pay for all 3.

I tried it tonight just to check.  I dont fly perk stuff much.  Even more rarely do I fly bombers.  I had 80 bomber perks.  Ar234 cost was 69 perks.  No formation selected.  It told me I didnt have enough perks.

The point is you cant select it to unselect the formation.

Try to go to TA, select it there, uncheck formation, log out and in again.
After that you can select it in ma.

Formation selection is specific for each plane.. so unchecking formation on b17s and then selecting arados wont work if you flew a formation of arados in ta before.

It is already unchecked in my setup.  I puposely set all my bombers to no formations some time ago, simply because I dont fly them that often, there are too many issues associated with formations that I dont want to have to deal with if I decide to fly one, and it avoids the issue of perkies being wasted on something I dont care to use anyway (having a formation).

Again.  I didnt try to takeoff in one.  I just pulled the bird up on my screen.  It told me I didnt have enough perks to fly it.  I did.  It was already  setup as a single bird, not a formation.  Simple enough.

It is minutely possible that the ENY value changed on you before you selected it.

Ok, maybe you need to have the formation necessary perks eaven if you have it single. Some people with low bomber perks want to check if they can select it when they have less than 3 times necessary perks?

Thats what I am thinking Ohio, HT has stated before on another subject that sometimes things can update on the server but not show on your screen, especially if you had the screen up already.  It's very possible the perk cost of the bomber went up significantly and it just hadn't refreshed on my screen.

Schutt's explanation is also plausible, there could be a bug that requires you to have enough perks to buy the formation before it lets you buy the single.
