Reflected

It’s a core dcs ai bug. The AI ignores commands to stop refueling. This bug keeps voming back but ED is aware. @[ED]Ben

Hey, I know what you mean, English is not my native language either, and aviation is a whole different language again. It takes getting used to if you want to fly the plane and listen to a conversation at the same time - but after a while both will become second nature. Let me know if there are any other abbreviations you need help with.

Yes it’s a very old F-14 bug

The F10 menu has the Attack Primary option from the start of the mission. Maybe last time you selected the wrong menu accidentally? Anyhow I’m happy to hear it works.

So who is it that doesn't attack the aerodrome? Your own flight or the other flights?

The other 2 flights only react to the F10 menu. Or is it your own flight? Make sure your radio is on. This should explain it in detail:

Crashes are DCS related, try running a repair. The Squadron doesn't respond to the built in radio menu. You need to use F10 - Attack Primary. If they don't attack, maybe they can't see the target. Your alter ego does not order them to attack, maybe it was another flight? Wait, in Mission 9, the briefing says: "Once we reach the target, Whippet will go in first, while Platform gives us cover. Once we're clear of the target and regained altitude, then Platform goes in while Whippet provides top cover." So you need to wait for the 61st to engage - that was Gabreski you heard on the radio, ordering Whippet to attack. Before reaching the target he even says: "Fairbank here, we're approaching the target, get ready to attack. I'll take Whippet down, Platform, you circle above to cover us until we complete our run. OK?"

It used to be a bug but ed fixed it in the last update. Make sure your game is up to date.

Ha, been there

You probably are, you have 20 minutes in each mission.

I almost always tested the missions in immortal mode but I remember once flying mission 5 and it was already at the holdshort when I realized I forgot to select immortality. It was one of the most stressful 1.5 hours of my life - but it was certainly more memorable than any of my other playthroughs

Well, you have 3 options: a) don't get shot down b) get shot down but survive because you're immortal c) get shot down and try again This also coincides with my order of preference

Yeah TLAR deliveries were a joke but they really weren’t post a video of the reversal if you hack it!

I really recommend playing this one with immortality selected

Sounds like you’re already doing way better than me

Thanks, good call, I'll think of something.

Ok I changed the triggers, got rid of all the scripting and replaced them with stock triggers. The script was bulletproof in terms of making the ai do what it has to, but these popup messages that some players get are a no go.

Yes, intentional, you're flying out on your own, nobody to remind you, but you can of course perform it while heading to Dreamland

Yes, that's a very mean mission where nothing goes as planned...

Yepp, typo, I'll fix it ASAP.

Thanks, I’ll check and if it’s a typo I’ll fix it.

Thanks! I love setting up airfields Unfortunately statics have those 001 numberings, you cannot change them in the editor. If you change them to uncontrolled ais that costs performance

One more thing: the AI does not drop their tanks when empty, only when engaged in air to air combat - and this is accurate behavior.

Thanks, I’ll have a look why it causes issues so late after the fight

I can not set the ai’s power during climb only while cruising. And they’ll cruise below max continuous at that speed. You can play around with the mixture too during crossing the channel back to England. Remember, Boxted was a 100 miles further north IRL, that’s why I compensated by having only the emergency minimum in the aux tank. I never landed with less than 60-70 gallons during testing.
