Fix was very simple, only took about 2 hours to fix the whole campaign. Frustrating bit is having to wait to get it to you.

Thanks, hopefully won't be too long a wait.

Known issue, fix on the way

No it wasn't in this one unfortunately, ED haven't had the updated files very long so I think it came too soon for for this hot fix.

Yes that's right, already fixed internally, just waiting for a hot fix.

Yep, shelters were moved slightly in the Syria update. Already fixed internally.

Known issue caused by the last update to the Syria map. Fixed internally and should be on the next hot fix/patch.

Radios are still working fine, might be a distance/signal strength/LOS issue that could be related to the second issue. The second issue has been caused by the Syria map update, no AI will takeoff from H4 currently. Good news is it's fixed internally already, you should see an update/hot fix applying the fix soon.

Hi, thanks glad you've enjoyed up to now! As @Flyboy_Steve has correctly said, this has been caused by an update to the Syria map. Am fixing internally this weekend and will be rolled out to you all asap on the next hot fix/campaign patch.

No problem, thanks for the patience, hopefully we'll have everything working again soon!

Hi Brett, it's a known issue, the update to the Syria map this week has temporarily bugged the AI behaviour at H4. The problem has been identified and I'm in the process of implementing a fix this weekend, should be rolled out on the next hot fix or campaign patch, hopefully in the near future. Thanks.

Nothing confirmed, but when I submitted the campaign I heard there were two already in the queue for release, assuming they were the 2 just released. So hopefully LOWOS is next update.

Seen other reports of this, will be an issue introduced with the Syria map update. Will get on in it and work out fixes asap.

I'm away from home the next few days but I'll do some tests as soon as I get back, I have heard from other Devs that the Syria map update may have caused some AI issues. If so it's an easy enough fix, will get on it asap.

I'm still not sure on this, I've seen it a few times where the AI doesn't seem to activate their data link correctly. Possibly a Viper bug, I'll update if I ever figure it out.

Ah yes I think there is sneaky MANPAD somewhere in that village! Nice idea on lost comms I'll think about that!

Unfortunately not, not an outcome I predicted when I made the campaign. Changed it for subsequent campaigns.

I'm a big fan of the 'Osprey combat aircraft' series of books, there's loads like 'F-16 units of Operation Iraqi Freedom', all sorts of variations of aircraft/campaigns. They give lots of first hand accounts of combat operations, mission types, load-outs etc. Always my starting point for aircraft research. There's load of other good aircraft specific books as well, if you've got a particular aircraft in mind let me know and I'll check what I've got on the shelf and give you some good pointers. 'DEBRIEF: A Complete History of U.S. Aerial Engagements - 1981 to the Present' is really good for air to air, provides detailed talk-through of every air to air kill made by the US post Vietnam to when it was published after Allied Force. Amount of detail varies by kill and the writing style of the author but there's some great info in there. I also read lots around the geo-political setup as well, be it China, Syria, or the middle-east in general. I can recommend some from here if you want them. Helps add to the story telling. Finally podcasts are helpful as well, don't tend to get many facts that aren't in the books already, but you get a lot of 'character' from these. Be it anecdotes, insights into culture, personality etc and I often find the odd nugget in these that I can bring into a campaign. I've listened to Fighter Pilot Podcast, Afterburner Podcast, I'm a huge admirer of 10 percent True and love the detail they go into. Just started listening to Authentic as well on spotify, it's a paid subscription for that but so far have found the content to be detailed and excellent. Hope all that helps! Like I said above, if you want more specifics then let me know what exactly and I'll see what I've got in the old library .

Yep lots and lots of reading, and podcasts as well. Plus a little bit of imagination/guess work when required. Happy to offer up any recommendations for books if you need them.

No it's nothing scripted by the campaign, guessing you're making an error unless there's something changed with the Hornet.

Must be doing something wrong, I've not seen any issues with it. Are you waiting to turn your data link/mids on, can't remember the exact requirements but I don't turn on till my ins is aligned and that always works ok.

Yeah that should be fine, ATFLIR should have no impact.

Wingman comms should be added once the SA-15s are dead and providing the UHF radio is set to the flight freq of 260, note that as per the campaign instructions the UHF freqs should be done through the old UHF radio not the new ARC-210 radio. To complete the Silk Worm task simply choose the option from the F10 radio menu, but for full completion kill the radar and all the launchers. Hope that helps!

Should be fixed on today's update as well
