[RESOLVED]Land Command Permanent?

It appears that the land command available via advanced waypoint actions is now permanent. When the task completes the unit does not resume travel and continue on the next waypoint. The Ka-50 for example just ejects. An Mi-8 shuts down its engines and the crew leave after some point. This happens with the "on ground" option or together with a stop condition (e.g. time or flag). For me, this is screwing up the "Spring Tension" campaign. Are others similarly affected?

I knew the AI landing for picking up ground troops did it, didn't realize it extended to the land tasking.

Do you want me to attach tracks from missions or a sample mission where it is easy to observe?

FYI, game version info:

00000.338 INFO DCS: DCS/1.5.8.12667 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.16299)

00000.338 INFO DCS: DCS revision: 132665

00000.338 INFO DCS: Renderer revision: 14969

00000.338 INFO DCS: Terrain revision: 14987

I don't know when this issue started. I'm assuming recently since it is affecting a campaign that must be reasonably well tested.

FYI, I just reverted to DCS/1.5.7.11762 and verified that the issue is not present in that version. I tested only the 'on land' timer and not a stop condition. I'll test the missions later tonight when I have time and report back.

No need to add missions or anything, I've already reproduced the bug on the tester version.

Cool. Thanks for the follow up!. Final data point. I went back to 1.5.7 latest release version and re-flew Spring Tension missions 6 and 7 without issues.

If the Helo starts from the ramp it will work correctly, if it is air start it is broken.

I don't really follow her. The issue is that if a helo land on arbitrary ground, not necessarily a ramp, during mission to load/unload stuff for instance, they will not liftoff again to continue their mission. Hueys turn off their engines.

Missions I've experienced this in does start on ramp.

I'm sorry if I have misunderstood you.

we have this fixed internally already and should be in the next patch

Excellent!

Thanks.

(I interpreted ramp start to include FARPs, but when you specifically mentioned airports, combined with my own experience from FARP starts I understand what you mean)

Indeed fixed.

But we now have additional issues reported here :doh:

I don't know if it's related to the bug fix in question, or something introduced with other changes to AI behavior with 1.5.8.

I did setcommand Land to a group, and they all land in the same point. So lot of crashes... Anyone has this problem?
