Reflected

I think I found the problem: To work around AI limitations and make sure bugs don't happen, there are 2 Pacos: one that launches then orbits, and on that orbits and then performs the mission. These 2 are swapped when the player is airborne, and these conditions are met: 1) you used the salute button and see the glove animation - like the briefing tells you to 2) you performed the takeoff checklist and you hear Slick say 'Alright, running up, here's the wipeout' (you need to be in mil power, hooked up to the cat, like IRL) 3) you're faster than 140 knots Apparently some player, for some reason are not meeting all conditions. If you're trying to join up on a unit called 'Pacodel', then it won't work for sure, because they haven't been swapped. If you follow procedures and checklists, they will.

Have you read the other thread? I even asked you a question there. Why does there need to be 2 separate threads so I can type the same thing twice and other people might get confused or lost? every time someone reports this problem I replay the mission and it works just fine. There are problems with the DCS core code but I have no access to that. But I already wrote this in the other thread. So please if next time it happens take that screenshot for me. Thanks.

@niksavv or anyone who has this issue can u do me a favor and when the bug happens, open the F10 map, ckick on the Paco who doesn’t want to stop orbiting and take a screenshot of the unit’s name?

I’m not sure how the store logic works, can you please ask ED’s customer support?

It’s all done, waiting for ED to release it.

It's happening to me on every mission, I can check the F10 map 2-3 times before my FPS drops to 5. It can be solved every time by alt tabbing out , opening something else, closing, alt tab back. Super annoying.

ED says it’s been fixed internally. Fingers crossed!

Yes I do. I mean the missions don't enforce anything, so where would the no labels setting even come from? Maybe try checking the 'override mission settings' box and see if that helps.

Hey thanks for the heads up, good catch. I've heard others report crashes too, but you nailed it with the missile impact - it happens for me too. Now next time please report it to ED in the game crashes section - I already have, because they don't check here. In the mission editor all I can do about this is to remove your missiles, but that's about as useful as telling you not to fire them Thanks again! Dakujem vam!

null This is all I can do about it in the mission editor, if you suspect there is a campaign engine bug, you need to talk to ED, because I don't have access to the core engine code. Have you tried running a repair? Any unofficial mods?

I use labels… they’re not forced on or off in the missions.

It's probably something else, but I found a skinner already

Ladies and Gentlemen, post your entires here.

for a highly classified future project EIT: Disregard, solved

Yeah now you don’t need to bother with the spacebar, just proceed with your taxi and takeoff and make sure every switch is in the correct position amd then the replies will come automatically

Hey thanks a lot, I'm happy to hear it improved the experience. Updating the missions was tedious, but I figured it was worth the effort. MIG Killers is gonna use the same

Hey, nice pics! Yes, I have plenty of ideas and research for a Nam campaign, but if I use it on a Paradise lost sequel, I won't be ale to use them when we get the real map. So I'd rather save them for later.

Well, this is not a RAG/ B- Course, but a graduate level training, but:

Yes, which was inaccurate.

Yes, it takes some time. You can take off without it, but navigation will be pretty hard you can always use time acceleration.

I wish, but there is no such option in DCS. Enjoy the campaign!

Only the recurring checklists are interactive that way, but you may still need to press spacebar when you need to confirm stuff to Paco. Which are not checklists. I just checked, the circuit breaker response comes automatically. So 1) please run a slow repair and try again 2) if you still see a spacebar requirement (without a message saying you need to press spacebar), please take a screenshot so we know exactly which one it is, and open a thread in the SnA section. Because right now we're hijacking the 'campaign updates' thread with guesswork Cheers

Wait, is it the checklist items or the few things Paco wants you to confirm after startup?

Thanks for letting me know! This is why I always emphasize how much harm unofficial mods can do. Enjoy the campaign!
