Hey, for D/L nothing I can do. It is set up exactly the same in all missions and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I know if I were using stock wingmen it would but they are useless and can't do 30% of what I need the AI to do, so wingmen are always as separate groups.

Hey, unfortunately D/L has always been finnicky for the campaign, as I am using wingmen that are in different flights (because the stock wingman is pretty stupid). So this is something I cannot fix, everything is set up as it should in ME - but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Something probably changed in the map which in turn altered the AI behaviour. Thanks for reporting this, possibly parking spot numbering was altered. Should be an easy fix.

You also have an option to enable invulnerability at mission start, to avoid too much frustration with this mission! And Gratz on nailing it!

Appreciate this feedback! Will double check the last mission again. Many thanks!

@Jenson this was fixed in last update (sorry for late reply, summer was crazy for me on personal side of life). Funny thing happened here: in F-10 map it looked like Cajun was dragging a crane from the deck (although it was not visible), no wonder he ended up in the drink..

Hey! Thanks.
Ad.1. the waypoint is square on the building, the coordinates are from the F10 map... so I think this is more on the DCS side of things. Maybe I should put the waypoint behind the building though?
Ad.2.I think ED increased the splash damage of bombs. I will check if there are "friendlies" around the APC but if there are for design purposes they must be invisible and immortal... so not sure if there is anything I can do about it. Oh wait, there are in the FARP, but these are statics. Anyway, will check. And I can update the FARP to make it look better with new assets added some time ago. 

Ad.3. OK. That is AI being stupid, especially that the FL should have unlimited fuel set to on (facepalm)

@nir thank you! I always work with voice actors from the countries / regions I build campaigns for, this is an important detail. Glad you noticed & liked it! 

Possible, I'll mark it down for checking. Also, apologies for late reply @OmasRachE, it was crazy time since June on family front!

@OmasRachE normally the whole parking area is marked with a zone, it should play once you stop. I'll check the lead behavior, I think OrbX changed some things on the map and some parking spots might have been affected. Adding this one for investigating. In general you are never asked to taxi all the way back after landing, so the AI must have mislead you - the parking is always at the end of the runway on which you land. 

Thanks, reported - will try to fix this for next week!

I will check, but to me it looks like a one-off AI bug that just happened and ruined the mission. I know, I know - long missions, wasted time.. wish we had a save game function for the campaigns.. and yes, due to tactical situation you should drop after Tally, which in this case seems was impossible (sigh).

I probably could just de-spawn them after they land. I just thought it would look cool to have them on deck when you land, but I agree that SC still needs some polishing in this department...

You got me there. I love frustrating the players 😛 

It might be that I overlooked this and then when I got all the voices recorded it was too late to change it... If I have time I'll see if I can fix it somehow. Thanks for the report!

It can be done, but someone would have to make an effort and translate all the briefings and script lines, which is quite a lot of text. If I had these I could submit them to ED.

I am currently trying to fix this - was able to reproduce, probably something that got bugged with one of the recent patches. Will let you know as soon as I manage to fix this!

You can ask for the current position of the swarm using F-10 radio menu - it comes in a bullseye format (rock). I assume that you know how to use the bullseye calls - just point your radar into the direction of that spot, make sure it is looking at correct altitude and you should be easily able to spot them. 

What rob10 says - I didn't put a separate waypoint anymore, as it is always included as default in the system. So just use 59 if there is nothing else listed.

Well, as a wingman you have to follow the calls made by your flight lead which are not always perfect. I made a conscious decision here having in mind that the Finnish Air Force didn't really use or practice too much A/G with some of the weapons before, and hence some mistakes could me made. So I disagree with @Dovivan about things becoming too dramatic at the expense of realism in this scenario, but of course I also may be wrong at the end of the day. Also, the mission won't judge you how you choose do deploy.

Another side note is that the weather tend to change sometimes a little between updates and I am pretty sure when I was building this one things looked a bit different (it was more difficult to see the targets). 

I had this report on Discord, will investigate. Thanks!

Hey! I tried to write a talk-on, but in such a dense urban environment it ultimately made no sense, as it didn't really help. The important part here is good situational awareness - once you see Habu at mission start you should be tracking him on your TPod, which helps. There is also only one large mosque next to where the action takes place. Finally, you can always turn the labels on to help with spotting (I am usually using neutral dots not to make things too easy, but you will never get the image quality that could rival what you'd see from the pit in real life). 
Also, it is almost impossible to add talk-on options etc to all the engagements in all the missions due to the sheer number of triggers, extra voice lines etc... unfortunately, there are some DCS limitations. I understand your frustration, but that is the nature of DCS I guess, sometimes you just need to fly a mission more than once to get max out of it.

Try to follow the following procedure, it works in most cases (I don't understand why it was never clearly explained by ED how the taxi directors work): 

1. Battery and APU on
2. Salute for engine start up (deck crew raises arm)
3. Finish Starting Up
4. Wait for the on screen pop up that says I can start taxiing OR as per the mission brief - Designer Notes at the end
5. Salute Again for taxi clearance
6. Follow Taxi director orders

Hey! I hope this gets fixed on DCS level - I don't want to change the weather, because I would have to change a lot of things in the campaign since the whole strike is built around dropping bombs from above the cloud layer... so yeah, we need to live with it as is and hope for ED to fix this one!

OK, thanks. We'll check this - but I had this report twice already and it turned out to be a user error in both cases on player's end. 

Have you followed the proper procedure @Doc-T @div0 @MrYeti?

1. Battery and APU on
2. Salute for engine start up (deck crew raises arm)
3. Finish Starting Up
4. Wait for the on screen pop up that says I can start taxiing OR as per the mission brief - Designer Notes at the end
5. Salute Again for taxi clearance
6. Follow Taxi director orders
Also, make sure you disable any unofficial 3rd party mods, as well as Voice Attack or Vaicom - they can have adverse effects on official campaigns.
