Campaign Mission Airborne Command

[Dun_Aenghus]

Hi guys, I'm having trouble getting past this mission. You have to transport a general so he gets an aerial view of a ground attack on a village. Everything progresses smoothly - they ask me to destroy an enemy UAZ which I do and then they say "return to the combat area". Then, after orbitting the village for an eternity, nothing more happens. Some kind of trigger that wasn't set off? I'd appreciate help getting past this one!

[Chlebakus]

Hello,

There should be another task to extract some soldiers near armor that passes through village. Try to land near them and see if it doesnt trigger. Maybe try to open mission in editor and resave it.

[Dun_Aenghus]

Thanks Chlebakus, I'll try landing near those guys.

[Dun_Aenghus]

Unfortunately it still didn't work! The trigger appears to be broken. Hopefully there's some way to fix it.

I did not have any issue in this mission. Do you run the latest version of the game?

 

Going in the mission editor and change a few things might work as well. But I am no expert on that. So we have to hope that some helpful forum member comes by with instructions on how to fix it.

The problem of this mission isnt Your landing but perhaps Mi-24 didnt destroyed all targets. Help him to destroy all targets before. Its a bug. Mi-24 just flying, didnt attack any targets in this mission. If You will destroy buildings by rockets (3) and rebels will be ok. Triggers will be active and its possible to finish this mission with succes. I did it.

[Dun_Aenghus]

Thanks for the tips Java and YoYo, I'll give it another try and see if that works.

[Simicro]

To succeed I did the following:

 

1. The tanks come into the village and stop ==> fire at the building in the vicinity of the tanks

 

2. Destroy the jeep going northbound

 

3. Land near the village (green smoke) to onboard troops

 

 

Note: when you orbit the village, don't fly too low otherwise you will be hit by the combat fire.

I even cant find the enemy vehicle how am I suposed to know from wich town it is trying to escape?

The enemy vehicle (jeep) only moves after you achieve step 1 of my description above.

 

The town is the destination of the mission (refer to briefing map).

[last1976]

It seems the trigger is broken for that in beta, the message comes and there is definitely not any vehicle moving out of the village.

 

By the way even if working, the screenplay of the mission is more than questionable. How is the outpost from its position to see there is something moving out of the village. And in the Message the village is suddenly called a town. So if you listen more closely you get more confused, what should not be the case.

[Simicro]

I have DCS 1.2.16 and the trigger worked for me.

 

I did not pay too much attention to the village being called suddenly a town but I agree that it might create confusion.

 

On the other hand the briefing map shows the village as the destination. There is not another waypoint with a town.

[last1976]

Ok i found the jeep. You maybe could tell wich buildings you hit because i hit a lot of them but no ongoiing mission after destroying jeep.

Great!

 

Congratulations mate!

 

If you found the jeep moving that means that you already hit the right buildings.

 

If you destroyed the jeep, then the next step as per the instructions is to pick up a soldier / some troops. I don't remember if the pick-up zone is marked by smoke. But it's in the village, so try to fly low and slow to spot the soldier / trrops.

[last1976]

The problem is. After destroying the jeep nothing happens anymore.

 

No message, no smoke, no infantry on ground nothing.

[Simicro]

If I recall correctly, there is no message after destroying the jeep. Try to look carefully for troops in the village.

[last1976]

And again flown the mission. There are definetly no troops in the village. I found some guys around a btr outside the village, but nothing happens if I land next to them. I think this mission is broken in 1.5, would be nice if someone using 1.5 could confirm or deny.

[1.JaVA_Platypus]

I got the same thing in the BETA. I destroyed the jeep, got the message to return to the combat area and then... nothing. THe BMP-2's stay in the village. They need to drive through and 'park' in the trigger zone "Korshun (something something)" But after the jeep is destroyed, they don't move...

[whitehot]

I'm currently playing this mission and it's hanging just like for Platypus. I destroyed the jeep and now orbiting forever.

[griffin12]

Same here, after destroying the jeep nothing happens.

 

I realize at some point the commander ask 105 to destroy some building, but 105 just ignores it and keeps flying east, maybe thats related. I attach the track here.

Found a fix for it:

 

Go to the mission editor and open that mission (en_SpringMi8-11.miz)

Then select "set rules for trigger" on the left menu:

Select "1 ONCE (Zona end, NO EVENT)" on the first box

Delete "PART OF GROUP IN ZONE (Korshun, Korshun end)" on the second box

and save it

 

That will keep the mission going

Can somebody do me a massive favour and fix this mission for me please, post the .mis file - I've tried amending the triggers but the BMP's remain stationary, don't matter which building I blow up etc. the mission just stalls - I've flown it so many times now I'm just about to give up :(

 

If it's too difficult to fix then can someone advise how to amend the campaigh file so it moves me onto the next mission.

 

Thanks in advance

I have reported the same issue a few weeks back. According to my basic ME skills, the mission seems to be fine, it is DCS issue which stops a "stop condition" to the "hold" action of this group to trigger. Not sure how to fix it. Hope ED will pay attention.

 

Haven't tested the last OB patch tho, it has some ME fixes.

Many thanks metzger, I’ve read that thread and I'm happy to see that ED are looking at it, for the moment at least the Mi-8 will be wheeled back to the hanger to await essential maintenance, shame as I was really enjoying the campaign - hopefully it’s an easy/quick fix :thumbup:
