AI not engaging is a core DCS issue, that I have tried to overcome with fail safes in the next update

That soldier is actually Foghorn, running to the cab. It's why the canopy doors open to let him in

As previous stated above, M8 is broken but fixes have been released to ED for the next update

Ok, I may be need to make that clear then. Thanks for the feedback

They aren't part of your flight or mission M1 is an orientation flight. Just you and Foghorn. It's all in the briefing

It's a core DCS AI issue. I've released new files to ED to sort this issue

I'll look into doing something to check/change things

All Until ED fix the Apache radios, presets and associated triggers, you MUST MUST MUST manually input all freqs (unless Foghorn does so- except current Jul24 release M12) Even at mission start regardless of whether freqs look OK. Please manually re-input This is a core DCS issue, not 1 of my doing. Can't stress this enough Also, new launcher apparently forces EASY COMMS ON. So we'll worth checking it's OFF before starting Thanks for your patience and understanding Florence Fight's On Sims

Great stuff bud thanks. Us campaign designers have lodged a "complaint" to ED about it

I'll make sure this is fixed Glad manual input of freqs worked. It's been a PITA with Apache radios and presets not working correctly, or triggers firing

I did not know that! Thanks for posting that tidbit of info

Ok that helps thanks. Gives me a starting point to look into the mission. I suspect, it's the AI not fully engaging the group they are supposed to and the follow on trigger therefore not firing. Apache presets are broken in that the param in range trigger that works for every other aircraft, does not read the Apache presets if you change frequencies that way. I have reported this a number of times to ED, but........ Sometimes the player will be told to change freqs, others Foghorn will do it for you (Good Crew Resource Management) and a message will appear in the top right corner telling you Foghorn is changing freqs. And yes lol, don't touch anything whilst he's doing so, as you'll actually see your MPDs and KU being used (weirdly they are the same command codes for front and back seats?!?!)

I just want to check where it is in M8 people think it's broken 1. Launch as Wingman 2. Get on station - Streethawk RTB's (No action from Ugly here) 3. Overwatch calls contact - JTAC vectors GR4s for Show of Force (No action from UY5) 4. Uy5 vectored to new Op Area and freq change 5. UG5-1 then leads an attack 6. Follow on attacks directed by FAC At what point is this not working please? A Tacview file or DCS trk file will help me see what's broken.

I'll take a look at M8 tonight once home from work. Sounds like there's a trigger not firing for some reason. Everything did work when i released the updates for this patch.

I feel I set DL to UHF 345.6 in the ME

Thanks for the feedback. I do fear it's a core DCS issue, as >51 score means progression

I appreciate the feedback thank you The campaign is set at a certain ability level you are slot on

I've just run the mission for 20mins with me just lifting and landing again and scored 65 points towards mission success. This is more than enough to progress onto M3, so not sure what is causing this with you buddy. Are you running the latest DCS version? Any unofficial mods running?

OK, had another look into this. It seems the Apache radios are yet again FUBAR'd with respect to being read in by the trigger actions i have in the ME. Please can you manually add all 4 radio channel frequencies and hopefully you'll hear Batman Tower ok. If no comms with Batman, nothing else will flow after (no 5-2 activation and getting airborne for example)

It appears you're not the only one i'm afraid. Can you post on ED's forum/Discord, as i suspect this is a wider logbook issue rather than just with The Four Horsemen. I will of course double check my miz file also.

You have looked behind the curtain lol. In order to get 5-2 to stay on the ground until you're ready to launch, he is a static. Once you pick up and head away from Batman, 5-2 will respawn as hot on ground and follow you no issues. I'll check the JTAC trigger zone on this one later.

Glad it worked out and you're enjoying it

Belly "Should" automatically sort that AAA IF ED fixed the AI engaging correctly in this patch. But making attacks South to North will help

OK, so some of the points awarded are done so based on you landing back at FOB Batman (as you would in real life) As for the no comms issue, please bear with me as i have sent fixes to many missions in this campaign to ED ready for the next patch release. And thank you for your kind words, makes all the hard work worth while.

There's a major issue with AI not engaging correctly, plus others I have released updates to ED and they're ready for next patch, so hopefully all will be fixed
