Datajack Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I'm having problems with the 2nd mission in the F15 campaign. Where you have to escort a C-17 back to your base. I've flown this mission 3 times and I'm not getting a mission complete message (or mission failure). Do I have to do something to release the escort?

EvilBivol-1 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 A few users have run into this issue. It is probably related to not keeping formation with the C-17 after the rendezous, but is more restrictive than was intended to be. I've attached a slightly altered version of the mission. Replace the current mission with this one in the \...\Missions\Campaigns\LOP\EN folder. The altered version will be included in the patch. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

Datajack Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Excellent. I'll download it and try it when I get home from work. Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Datajack Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Oh one other thing. I kept tight formation all three times with the C-17, I even landed in formation on the last try, so I don't think that's the cause.

EvilBivol-1 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 The formation fail may be triggered when you are already within "visual" range, but have not yet completed the turn to form up. I'm guessing. In any case, let me know how the altered version works for you. Thanks. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
Datajack Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 Okay I tried the mission. Same thing happened. Now I did notice a couple of things. First, there's a point when my wingman tells me we're on point, but ahead of schedule. I saw this once before. When I join up I get the normal messages from the C-17. There's a part when he tells me to "watch this" and normally did a pitch up maneuver, but this nothing happened after the message. From there on all other messages were normal (turning 070, sprial decent, etc..). I followed him and did a formation landing and followed him to full stop. Never go a mission failed, never got a mission successful. Also I contacted tower for landing and never got a response. Any ideas? I must be doing something wrong.

EvilBivol-1 Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 You should be landing on your own airbase. When the C-17 lands, you should be getting a message that he can make it on his own the rest of the way. Did this happen? If so, at this point you should be able to leave and proceed to land at your own base and hopefully get a mission success about when you touch down. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

Datajack Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 I tried this before. I was told he would taxi from here and when I got about 5km away I got a mission failed message. I'll go ahead and give it another shot and let you know.

Datajack Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 Okay it worked. Not sure what was different this time, except I didn't land. I just circled until the C-17 gave me the taxi message. I preceded to my airbase and got mission complete on touchdown. Thank you for all your help. I can finally move on to mission #3!

EvilBivol-1 Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Good news. Good luck with #3 and beyond - you'll probably need it. :) There is a great series of AARs on the campaign from Ven if you are having trouble and looking for some ideas on how to handle these missions. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.
