FollowMe "aborts due to safety reasons"?

[Guenseli]

Hello,

what does that mean and how can I avoid it?
Do I have to revoke it afte that happens?


many thanks, great update so far!

[virtuali]

This message has been added to the latest version of the program, and it means the Follow Me was "scared" about you coming towards it too dangerously, so they flee away (if you were in the outside view, you would see the Follow Me fleeing), so the service was terminated, and you must call it again.

[Guenseli]

Ah, ok.
Thanks for answering

Hello,
thanks for the update and to be able to disable the fleeing of the follow me.


However, one question:

in the update readme it says that I can setting the followme_disable_flee = 1 in the INI.
I do not found that line in the INI after the update?

Do I have to add this line myself???


many thanks

Yes. Since it defaults to 0, and it has never been set before, the line is not there.

I have added the line as per the instructions but when testing I'm still getting aborts if I'm a little reckless following the truck.

It's not enough to just add the line. You must also update to the latest GSX code using the Live Update feature, or reinstalling GSX.

[Brent Beale]

I uninstalled GSX and reinstalled GSX two days ago from what I presume to be the most recent download.

I did a little more testing and found that the vehicle seemed to be aborting for saftey when it got confused about the path to take.  When I did something reckless like rear-end the vehicle it carried on with no abort.

No, it doesn't do that. There are TWO kinds of "evasive maneuvers":

1) The one that prints a message "aborts due to safety reasons", which ABORTS the service, and CAN be now disabled with the followme_disable_flee = 1 parameter

AND

2) One that doesn't print anything, it goes around your airplane and CONTINUE the service, which is always active and cannot be disabled.

If you set the followme_disable_flee = 1 parameter, you will only see #2, in all cases when there's a problem, like going too close to the car, or not having any other way to reach other than going around you, etc.

[Brent Beale]

Well, okay then...it doesn't work this way on my installation.

I can only repeat and confirm it's working, provided you have the latest version of the files.

Could be you simply have a problem with the Live Update notification ? The Live Update is not checked constantly, but only after 24 hours since the last check, and if you ignored it once, it won't be checked again until we'll release the *next* Live Update.

Either use the "Check for updates" under the Live Update menu, which will force a new check, or reinstall GSX, which will surely get the very latest code files.

[Brent Beale]

Perhaps you could look at the embedded couatladdons.ini file I included further up in this thread which I believe indicates the version it is checking under '[liveupdate]'.

If you do what I suggested to do ( Either use the "Check for updates" under the Live Update menu, which will force a new check, or reinstall GSX, which will surely get the very latest code files ), you'll get the latest files, regardless of what's in your couatladdons.ini file. Have you tried that ?

[Brent Beale]

Checked liveupdate and it repeated the notification for 17-Aug-2015 update which is odd because I had previously updated which of course is where I learned about the followme script.  In any event I updated 'again' and it seems to be working as you presented.

Thanks for your patience....Brent

Ok I need to know where this config is that I add the line to.
