@IceyJones you and me both. If something is not working in the campaign because I messed it up - I'll be the first to admit it and fix this. But if campaign stops working because of behind-the-scenes changes in how the Supercarrier taxi system works, that really makes me mad - because it usually means a few hours of trial & error testing for me with different aircraft configuration on deck until they finally stop crashing one into another. And it makes me want to uninstall whole DCS as well.. Please disregard these issues and continue to support us (the 3rd party devs). I don't think these issues will ever disappear because DCS is a constantly evolving projects, and that means bugs will be appearing quite often.

Thanks, that's the kind of feedback I love to hear

@Pyrocumulous 17K feet in an A-10C?! Why!?

Yeah, this is just one of the DCS AI issues I have zero control over...

@Excal301 make sure you are not on FM band when switching the freq, this is a common problem / user error with the new radio. I am 99% sure this is the issue.

Thanks for the feedback. A lot of issues are linked with changes in core DCS between the release of the campaign and now (TACAN - I assume you used it in A/A mode, and now it works only in A/G even with airborne tankers; Biff probably stopped communicating because of the new DCS radio system that completely messed up a lot of missions and campaigns - but it may also be user error, check if you are not on FM band when changing the freq). There should be further ATC comms, perhaps you were in a wrong position.. or perhaps something else got borked, it 100% worked OK before, but DCS updates have tendency to break things. Bif I am only one person and it is very difficult to keep up with updating already released stuff - and I have to rely on reports like yours, but even then it usually takes time to get to bottom of all the issues and have them properly fixed (also because when I fix some things, others get broken with DCS updates). It is a vicious circle which unfortunately probably will never change, so I'd like to ask you (and others) for more patience and to keep supporting our (3rd party campaign devs) work, as it is not super easy I'll try to put things in order for next patch, although it may be tough as I am away from my gaming rig till almost half of January. Anyway, thanks for the report!

Possibly that is because the whole campaign has not yet been updated to the new datalink. I already did it for Raven One, but it takes time (together with all the other changes introduced to DCS that require a lot of work on old campaigns, like new radio system or upcoming taxi directors). This will be done, but most likely only for February patch (I am away from my gaming rig for a month)...

Hm, thanks - I will check. It is possible I missed this when I was updating the short version of the mission. Thanks!

Which mission is this? If M14 this should be fixed, at least it works OK on my end. Guys, if you have problems with particular missions, please create a separate thread in the bugs section, it is much easier for me to follow / check / reply. Things can get easily lost in this thread.

Thanks! I'll get to M15 soon and update it, for the 20 Dec patch M14 got a massive overhaul. It takes time to fix everything that gets broken with almost every update

Well, I’ll be happy to refund you for this product since you clearly have no idea how DCS works. Just PM me and I’ll send you back the money because you completely don’t understand how many months of work goes into making a campaign that is worth one pizza - and if you cannot wait one more day for a fix, I’ll happily reimburse you and never hear back from you.

Yes sir! And it causes a lot of confusion.

@Pyrocumulous is it possible that this is the new radio system implementation? If you are blocked from the transmitter (for instance by the mountain when you get too low) you may loose radio comms, which is realistic but not optimal for a campaign where you don't have an option to ask someone to repeat last transmission.. As for JTAC - IIRC this is the stock DCS JTAC over which I have zero control, so there is nothing I can do to fix this.

@spaceBunny well, thank you for your sarcasm. My priority is to fix bugs and right now I am spending around 70% of my time fixing stuff that used to work but get bugged with every patch of the game, which forces me to revisit old missions and repair them, but with the next update something else gets broken... it is marked as fixed, but you will get the fixed version only when the new patch lands (should be tomorrow). Still, just tune in your radio to 251 (the middle one) and all will be fine even in current version. Hope this helps.

@JesterIsDead this mission indeed is bugged but also fixed for the next OB patch, so wait for it to land. You did everything OK, and Olive will not die anymore...

No, some people reported this but I couldn't replicate it on my end, everything looked fine. Did you try to do a full repair?

There is an option at mission start @FPS_Sage that is active for around 1 minute. So start a new mission, start your jet to be able to access the radios and then choose it.

Yes, not far from the end! Turns out the problem was with the AI helo that now for some reason refuses to land.. I tried everything and finally just changed the parameters of the trigger to make the mission think it landed even if it is in perfect hover just 1m above the ground...

My guess is you are having problems with ARC-210 radio, which defaults to FM modulation - so you won't be able to hear properly anyone untill you switch this to AM.

Yeah.. just fixed M09, there indeed was a problem.

Should be fixed for next update.

M14 should be fixed now. Will fly it once more, but it should be good to go for next OB patch!

Hey, I'll try to fix M09 for next OB patch. Already got problems with M10 solved and huge M14 should be working like charm after next patch.

So, Olive not taking off is fixed, however later in the mission she just randomly flies into Cyprus and no matter what I do with triggers etc it always happens. I will have to probably spawn a new AI in her place to take over tasking which means a major re-work of the mission. I still hope to be able to fix this for next OB patch, but chances now are slimmer...

@Agim this issue is now fixed. The helo not landing properly is indeed a DCS bug, but I managed to find a way to get around it. Fixed for next OB patch.
