We spent probably few dozens of hours fixing this guy's behavior.. but sometimes issues like this are caused by things on player's end, especially unofficial 3rd party mods or software like Voice Attack. Do you have any of those or are you running a clean install?

In the next patch all outstanding issues with the campaign should be resolved, running mission after mission and updating them...

I don't know that app and I am not sure why it wouldn't work - didn't do anything different than in all other campaigns. Maybe it is a map thing? Have you tried on vanilla mission in Kola?

Glad to hear it was sorted!

I'll double check the shape of the zone... I think I didn't use round to avoid mission progressing when you were behind or in front of the bandit.

We still have some work to do on this one, thanks for all the feedback!

Thanks. I'll fix this.

We'll have a look at that.

Looks like latest update broke Taxi Directors behavior for my campaigns.. we will check.

Hey! Can you be more specific in what is happening?

Yes, a stupid error on my part. That is internally fixed, but will have to wait for next (not the imminent) patch for the release.

@WurzelGummage thanks. We'll check, but in the meantime can you verify that you don't have any 3rd party unofficial mods (especially aircraft) installed? They tend to somehow bug the AI behavior. Also apps like Voice Attack and Viacom tend to do the same thing...

Thanks, will look into this.

Yep, there AI landing gets borked quite often. Busy fixing new bugs introduced with latest updates to my newer campaigns, but will get back to that one as well and repair it. Thanks for the report.

I might have some good news in a near future, for the moment this is all I can say

Thanks for reporting. I am running whole campaign and updating it mission by mission to remove the SPACE BAR presses (and use the I/R system instead), updating datalink and taxi directors. I'll fix this as well for the next (not the imminent) patch.

I'll have a look. Running the whole campaign again and updating all the missions to remove SPACE BAR presses etc. so it should be ready and working well for the next (not the imminent) patch. It also looks that something changed with the taxi directors which will require some additional work... so bear with me please. Sorry for trouble.

Hey, I am updating this mission and there seem to be a lot of issues with the taxi directors now. I'll have a look. Running the whole campaign again and updating all the missions to remove SPACE BAR presses etc. so it should be ready and working well for the next (not the imminent) patch. It also looks that something changed with the taxi directors which will require some additional work.

Yep! They almost exclusively used MGRS during their time in Syria, especially that with three different types of LAT/LONG input it created a lot of trouble.

Not really, as some people still play around with things even after reporting they are ready and then wingman can takeoff before. To be sure I need to know that player starts moving. Just don't taxi too fast (hey, it is icy and cold anyway). One of DCS limitations unfortunately, if I had an option to keep a ready AI jet on the tarmac for as long as I like it would've been great.
