As the AI behavior changes time to time it might be better not to touch this one if the mission is othervice working.

Thanks for reporting. Never before have those Russians crashed even if they sometimes fly like maniacs. I'll take a look but I'm now couple of days away from my rig so will take a while.

Hi, Thank you for your message. In this video there is a walk through for mission planning and execution of a simple strike mission with strike, escort and sead elements.

I tested this couple of times and the lead managed to avoid crashing during the dogfight. Hope it was just DCS one time thing. The stall during follow was reported by Reflected one month ago but I reported it again as the problem seems to be still there.

I started the campaign again and skipped the first mission. No change. Devils are launching normally. I'm sorry I still can't tell why it isn't working for you this time.

It shouldn't as they are separate missions and should have no interaction with each other. I'll test that too. Did you try to skip the mission where the problem excist and play the next one?

The AI speed control problem when following other aircraft or approaching tanker is reported to ED while ago. I hope they will do something about it soon as there is no way campaign makers could fix that issue. Lead flying into terrain is in mission 3 is something new. At least she was able to stay alive couple of weeks ago when the updated mission was tested. I need to check it again.

I also checked it and didn't work for me either. Don't know why as it seems to work in other missions. Anyway no need in this mission but if I'll find the cause I'll fix it of course.

Yeah you are right. They have somehow lost their missiles. I'll fix that. At the moment I have no idea why the datalink is not working in this mission as settings are same as in all the other missions. Trying to find reason for that.

23/10/2025 update All missions: Flight lead flight behavior smoothened by restricting AB use All missions: Tuning correct frequency is recognized automatically Mission 12: Better SA image for player by better AWACS coverage

Thank you for your feedback. I have submitted a patch to reduce ai AB use. Should be out in the next update. I'll take a look what's the problem with data link and AIM-9

True. And that's because it's not originally ment to be used by the player as there is a great risk of missing some important radio calls as there are only two radios in Tomcat.

Congratulations Don't worry about that. In this campaign mission points only define the next mission and this is the only way to prevent the DCS campaign system giving you a new mission.

Thanks. I tested that mission too with also exactly tasking you had used but Devils still launced.

That is weird. Just confirming it was your second dynamic mission and not second including the training intro mission? Are you using the deck crew?
