    I'm interested in joining. I fly the F/A-18C and can currently do a cold startup, take off from an airfield and carrier, land at an airfield, and navigate using tacan and waypoints. I practice regularly but would like some more constructive training and feedback to get better and fly missions with other people.

    We sent you a join message a couple of days ago.

    Late activation problem - bug or user error?

    in Mission Editor Bugs

    Posted

    Yes, I just tested an air escort mission in PG. I was building for our scheduled flight this Saturday and every late start enemy aircraft launches as soon as the mission starts.  Some were set with triggers; such as unit enters a trigger zone active this group, while others were set based on mission time. Also, the B52H and B1-B bombers were set to start in the air at 28,000, yet they started at around 2,500, and 4 of the B52's flew into the ground.  The remaining aircraft headed toward their waypoint but stayed at 2,500.

    Very frustrating after spending a few hours build a mission that is unusable.

    cheers,

    We finally figured it out and got it working.  This is what we used in the lau.  We removed all the old BORT text to fix our skin issue, and added new stuff in the "green".  Helmet stuff is bolded.

    What theatre are you using.  Try running it in another theatre because we've had some triggers work in one theatre but not another.  We add an issue last night with a trigger set to launch MiG-29 jets not working.  The jets launched at mission start in Caucasus, yet the same trigger worked in PG.  Sometimes triggers will work online but not off line or vice versa.
