Hey @4JLX Have checked it out, have found a compromise set up in relation to the MIGs. Will get it updated hopefully out in next DCS update. Thanks.

Hey @Shurik75 Thanks for that will make adjustment in briefing. Unbelievable, Matrix has worked fine for over a year. It appears now suddenly it is ignoring exactly the same script to break and follow Ford. Will have to investigate. Just got to love AI updates.

@4JLX OK will look into it. Have you got a Tacview file you could send me?

HI @4JLX Unfortunately your wing will not help you this time, this due to a DCS issue which it makes it difficult to designate the same aircraft, (Your Wing), for bombing, which he just did, and air to air engagement. I will look at it to see if AI updates have changed their actions. It can be done, have a look at Flying Kennys fly through of the mission. Look at the 27min position where he starts the engagement. Make sure you are using your radar to it's full extent which does take practice. You will note they get missiles off first but he fly's defensively to evade them. Hope this helps.

Hey @Shurik75 Thanks for that have already corrected this and will be in next update.

Thanks for the Tacview files @eFirehawk have you got a track. When the mission was first put together it worked fine but over various AI updates have noticed their ability to keep in formation has got worse and worse. I will look to see if there is any more I can do by easing the turns and also report it to ED. Also wondering if processor speed has anything to do with it. What cpu do you have? Thanks, so frustrating when previously it worked fine.

@Ado Thanks for the tracks. Will check them out. One thing check you are using the Radio correctly, see a previous comment.

Hi @Ado Can you send me your track so I can check it out. It should be as Flying Kenny’s fly through.

These are a series of simple missions which quickly get you in a position to practice various weapons.

@quantumchance Only just saw this. If you have any issues leave a message in the DLC / Badger633 section of the forum. In this mission your target is not a bus but the parked aircraft at the airport. Hope this helps.

To be honest that is the general idea, they are a problem, but one that can be dealt with some accurate flying, allowing you to progress to the next part of the mission.

Thanks will check them out. Can easily turn up the difficulty with the manpads so will look at that. Careful what you wish for.

@Shurik75 Did test the mission and the Manpads were engaging if you flew into heir range. Will fly it myself. Do you know what route you flew? This is why track would have been useful.

Have you got your track so I can check. Cheers. Are you saying the mission is working correctly but the manpads are not reacting?

· Missions 10 all variants: Dodge not carrying out SEAD, fixed. · Missions 8 and 13 all variants: Targets not visible new dust, fixed.

· Missions 8 Super Carrier variants: Tacan fixed.

Hi @eFirehawk Glad you enjoyed the campaign. Just checked out the docked ships mission. All went well this end so not sure what went wrong your end. Are you running any mods and did it happen more than once? If you do happen to fly it again and get a repeat please send me the Tacview or Track so I can try and understand what happened your end. The reason the SA is not full of other background aircraft is that, being a VR enthusiast, I have always tried to reduce unnecessary load on the computer as VR is very demanding. Although over recent updates including multi threading it has become less of a problem and so in future campaigns will probably add more , 'there is a world out there' background units. Hope you enjoy 'Operation Green Line'. You will have a lot more control with that one regarding how good your adversaries are as you can select this at the beginning of a lot of missions. Cheers Badger

@Barrufa78 Hi, thanks will take a look. When i say version, was it the normal, the one with EZ refuel or the one with increased difficulty? Also does it happen each time for you? EDIT: Just checked out the Tacview. The issue is that you did not head to WP2 but headed to WP1, almost back to the Carrier. Once within a certain distance of the carrier and without actually carrying out the mission objectives you will get a fail. After refuel, as directed, head to WP2 Hope this helps.

These are quick and simple F/A-18C weapon practice missions. They are designed to get you quickly in a position to practice the use of a particular weapon. There are multiple targets generated randomly so normally each flight should be different. There are now 22 missions, but I will be adding to these as time goes on. 1 GBU12 laser guided bombs, Target located and lased by JTAC, Day time. 2 GBU12 laser guided bombs, Target located and lased by JTAC, Night time. 3 GBU12 laser guided bombs, Target located by JTAC using IR beam only, Pilot to locate and self lase, Night time. 4 AGM65E laser guided Air to Ground Missiles, Target located and lased by JTAC, Day time. 5 AGM65E laser guided Air to Ground Missiles, Target located and lased by JTAC, Night time. 6 AGM65F IR guided Air to Ground Missiles, Target located by JTAC using IR beam only, Pilot to locate and designate using TGP and Mav screen, Night time. 7 Cannon attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 8 Cannon attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 9 Cannon attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 10 Cannon attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 11 Hydra 70 Rocket attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 12 Hydra 70 Rocket attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 13 Hydra 70 Rocket attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 14 Hydra 70 Rocket attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 15 127 Zuni Mk24 Rocket attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 16 127 Zuni Mk24 Rocket attack on Unarmed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 17 127 Zuni Mk24 Rocket attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Day. 18 127 Zuni Mk24 Rocket attack on Armed Convoy, Target located and marked by JTAC (WP), Night time. 19 Mk84 2000llb Dumb Bombs on Chemical Plant, Located by JTAC with no mark, Radar only no TGP, Rain Overcast with Fog very poor vis, Day. 20 Mk84 2000llb Dumb Bombs on Chemical Plant, Located by JTAC with no mark, Radar only no TGP, Rain Overcast with Fog very poor vis, Night. 21 GBU31 2000llb JDAMs on Chemical Plant, Located by JTAC with no mark, Radar only no TGP, Rain Overcast with Fog very poor vis, Day. 22 GBU31 2000llb JDAMs on Chemical Plant, Located by JTAC with no mark, Radar only no TGP, Rain Overcast with Fog very poor vis, Day.

Hi @Barrufa78 Will take a look. Have you got a track or a Tacview you could send me of the flight. Are you running any mods. Which version of Mission 13 were you flying. EDIT : Just flew the mission to the hold after refuel with Texaco, all went well could not repeat my end. Let me know if it happens again and send your Track.

Hi @eFirehawk Glad you enjoyed the campaign, that's what its all about. I will have a look at the MIg settings. The truth is though that even though we set up the mission and give the Migs certain attributes, weapons etc that is not a static state of affairs. The reason for this is ED is constantly changing AI behaviour. So what they did before one update may be different after. I am not sure if there is a caste iron method of taking the Mig out, and perhaps there shouldn't be, but I know what you mean and will look into it. This is partly why in the next Campaign 'Operation Green Line' I have allowed the player to select how good the AI will be at the start of the missions.

Hi @Swebeer Yes it will still be there as for some reason ED did not include all Campaign fixes in the last update, which was mostly Iraq. My fix and the rest of other campaign fixes will be in next update later this month.

Hey @Quietman2000 Checked it out , you are correct. It seems it lost the Tacan when the Truman was temporarily used in place of the Stennis, due to the Stennis not being compatible with the new deck crew currently. Have checked all the other missions and they are ok. Have fixed mission 8 now and it will be in the next main update. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi @Quietman2000 Will take a look.

@witcohe @Shurik75 Confirmed, have fixed mission and checked all other campaign missions. Will be in next update. Thanks both for the heads up.
