Hi @Razor18 Thanks for the track. Yeah it shouldn't happen like that, the red arrow on the left totally lost the plot. I know this is DCS AI but when the mission was created all the aircraft kept formation very well. I had worked long and hard to achieve it. I have seen them getting more and more erratic over the last six months of DCS updates. Will have to let ED know. Have you tried more than once as it doesn't happen every time, it's never happened to me. I will fly it through again. EDIT: Just ran it through and it did not happen this end? All reds stayed in formation, allowing for the the DCS AI inaccuracies. As I said try a second time and see if you get the same problem.

Hi @Razor18 Sorry can you explain, I have done a tips video for Mission 2 here.

@f4tca7 To be honest its not normally as frequent as this but DCS over the last few months have done what appears to be a lot of AI changes. So really you shouldn’t have to be jumping through these hoops. You will note in mission 9 next I have split this in to 2 parts so you are not having to replay the ingress.

@f4tca7 Thought it might be the speed. I have adjusted things now so speed shouldn't make any difference in the future. Again in next main update. Not sure about the lazing matter. In the script the JTAC is lazing the convoy with 1688 and will remain doing so. Not sure if the 1688 might be hard wired in the new fuses, could well be wrong on that, but it would explain your issue . To be honest got enough problems keeping the missions working with the DCS updates so don't go looking for other issues.

@f4tca7 are you using automatic start as you appear to be very quick after Dodge? This timing could be part of the problem with your point 1 above.

Hi @f4tca7 Yes I am aware point 2. He is definitely attacking the wrong target. He is down to bomb his own. Same old story I’m afraid as we get updates the AI is acting differently. I have fixed this now so this won’t be an issue in the future and will be in next main update. As to the first point I cannot get it to happen this end. Will look into it. Thanks for the files i will check them out.

Hi @Biggles81 Not sure why your not picking them up. Make sure you are in TWS and PRF in Hi Have you got your SA page up as well as your radar. Also by moving the radar designator around you will see the height zones covered in numbers next to it. You can adjust this by moving the aerial elevation. Will have to try it myself. If I remember the first thing you will see is your deep SEAD flight returning so don’t shoot them down. You should also be picking up the EWS triangles at the top of the radar picking up the migs radar. Hope this helps.

Hi @f4tca7 Checked it out, you are correct. DCS AI updates again . Axe should left area for another air base. The AI is now refusing to land there and instead loitering in the carrier area this having the effect of putting them in a position of attacking the enemy plane. Have fixed it now and it will be in next update. Very frustrating but once again out of my control. Again this mission has worked well over a year. Thanks for the heads up.

@alboon2000 So the problem is the JSOW landing short as you say. Coords and heights are all correct so could be a DCS bug regarding the JSOW flight. I will fly it this end to check, I will let you know.

Hi @alboon2000 The coords are correct. That is where the hanger is, you just cannot see it as it is a hidden object. Could you send me a track or a Tacview file of of your flight to help me identify the problem you are having. Could be dud bomb or a bug with the JSOW flight or maybe something you are doing.

OK @rosty Checked out your track and produced Tacview from it. Your correct you hit the target . The new problem is, (as this mission has worked for years check out Flying Kennys fly-through of the mission in the playlist on my you tube channel), that the AI wing has not done it's job which it has done consistently until now. For some reason it looks as if the bombs have either missed or were dud maybe. This is why their target warehouse was not destroyed, even though you got the message that both were destroyed, as they normally are. I will adjust this mission so that the wing never fails and so preventing this issue in the future. As I say, it worked before so out of my control, you just got to love DCS updates. There is a campaign creators saying 'Never trust an AI to do something that may break a mission' Thanks for the heads up , at least it wasn't you, you hit the target on the head. Will have a fix in the next update.

@rosty thanks will have a look.

Hey @alboon2000 this is a tips video of this very mission on how to set things up. I made it a long while ago. This and other tips video are available on my you tube channel. My contact details youtube channel discord are at the end of each brief. I also have a playlist of videos of all the campaigns flown through expertly by ‘Flying Kenny’. Thanks to him for doing them.

@Richrach Hey no problem, as long as you got it sorted.

@f4tca7 Glad it worked out for, I know it was working this end. Still i have come up with an alternative which hopefully might be more reliable. Enjoy the rest of the campaign.

@Richrach Was it my campaign and which mission as it think i have fixed all my missions in the update, i have not fixed other creators campaigns. Yes the replacement of the bombs with something else and back again is the fix.

Hey @QuasarZero Glad you enjoyed the campaign and it was good to see you noticed and appreciated the atmosphere that we go to a lot of trouble to instil within the campaigns. Hope you also enjoy Ford’s further exploits in Rise of the Persian Lion 2 and now the further follow on Campaign, Operation Green Line.

@rosty just so you know, all my contact details including my discord is at the end of every brief.

@Richrach Just tried missions 9 and 10 Supercarrier version and bombs exploding ok? Which mission and which version have you a problem. Are you changing any fuzes? As you shouldn’t. How are you setting up your bombs, also are you running any mods. If you could send me the track that would be very helpful.

@Richrach Which mission? Do you run any mods.

@RLTick yes you have to wait for him to join you. He will say when he has. Carrying on without waiting for the join as indicated in the brief will break the mission in the way you did. Sometimes the AI wing will take an eternity to join if your constantly doing tight turns. As in the brief, in the campaign missions where you are waiting on a join, you need to fly at speeds and in a fashion to allow him to join. If you do all should be well.

@Chinga glad it’s working for you Enjoy the campaign.

@f4tca7 Just did some part testing and all worked this end. Have you tried more than once ? I think the push command is more unreliable on some computers so have changed the way 410 is told to head to land.

Hi @RLTick Thanks for the Tacview, will have a look. After the bombing you have to wait until the wing joins you. The message you get is to press space baft for your wing to start bomb run did you do this as he does not seem to break to do this . It is essential you press the spacebar here or he will just follow you. After the bombing you should have had message to climb to 30K as you have by then killed the threat to fly high. I noticed you exited at low level so probably missed or didn't get this this instruction. Did you get any warnings about Migs? Yes the wing should have bombed the runway so need to check this out. Also you should have had messages to refuel as well. What processer RAM size and video card are you using. Assume also you are on the latest update issued on the 9th Aug 24. Which version did you use normal or EZ A2A refuel. Thanks

Hi @Chinga Just checked this end. There was no problem with mission 1 from ROPL and I tried the three different options normal EZ and harder. Could you send me a track of your mission please. It could be in your setup. Have you got the super carrier module?
