Hey @IceyJones I am aware of the issues, the AAR thing is a new DCS bug that we (as 3rd party devs) are currently struggling with. I am planning to make Smoke just follow the tanker for the next patch and then report that AAR is complete. That will break the immersion (at least until the issue is resolved by ED) but will fix the mission. Apologies for all inconveniences!

Haha.. and another hotfix of a hotfix is on the way but after that this mission should work like a charm!

Hey @di_, how did it go?

Hey, we fixed this several times but I believe I have one final fix that should make this mission work like a charm that will be out with next update. Most of the issues are linked with core DCS problems (and they affect only some players), but after hours of testing we found some workarounds... but you need to be a little more patient + apologies for any inconveniences.

There is currently some issue with AAR for the AI in DCS, which we can't fix on our own and are waiting for ED to acknowledge and fix. Also, apologies for being less active here recently, I have some family issues I need to take care (dad in a hospital plus a big move across Europe with whole family) which makes things a bit tricky - I am away from my flying rig until second week of July, and troubleshooting is more difficult on a laptop. But I promise to get back to these issues over the summer and have things sorted out, I hate when parts of my campaign don't work, whatever the reason!

Yes, due to the Phantom release it was moved to 26 June, hopefully that will be the final date! In the meantime, check out the new episode of Air Combat Sim podcast where we talk with Rain about the campaign and other things:

Bumping this up as this is pretty annoying when you have a flight lead that is a separate AI unit and his altitude is always inconsistent with what is briefed / seen in your cockpit.

Re-opened for investigation

LOL I fixed this mission like 3 times... but we'll check it, going mission by mission updating the whole campaign so will get there again, once I find a solution for some bugs introduced in last patch. Its a neverending story...

Sorry for late reply, the radios now are much more sensitive than before and easier to be blocked by terrain.. so yeah.

Yep. Which maybe for the best, looking at all the Phantom hype (and rightly so, it is a great module)

Weird. First time I hear about this and I have no idea how mission could enforce such behaviour in the first place, so unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to help. I even checked if I loaded the ammo into the gun, but all looks good. Sorry, I am at a complete loss as what could be happening there.

Hm, something to investigate. Thanks

.. which broke other things, but these should now be fixed for the next hotfix

Hey dude. I just pushed a hotfix for AAR part, because last patch which was supposed to fix things introduced a new DCS bug that broke others... this all was fixed internally before the patch, which introduced some new problems. The new issue should be adressed in the next DCS hotfix.

OK, we'll have a look at that as well. I just pushed a hotfix for AAR part, because last patch which was supposed to fix things introduced a new bug that broke others...

@MrNelz it looks like latest patch introduced some issues with tankers, several campaign makers are complaining that their missions got borked. We'll see if there is a solution from ED and if not will try to find a workaround.

Both issues should be fixed as of next patch.

Issues with this mission should be fixed for next patch guys.

Both missions should be fixed & working as intended as of next patch. Thanks for the reports!

Guys, managed to fix problems with RTB Tanker (and no comms afterwards) and also updated the MANPAD part to make it much less frustrating. This mission should now run fine!

Good news, the issues with M02 should be fixed as of next patch!
