Payload not showing on created mission

[thdman1511]

I have created a small mission, however the payload I have selected doesnt load in on the SU-25T.

 

I selected an airfield and made it red, placed a SU-25T set to start on runway, set the waypoints and selected a payload. Placed a dummy target on a airstrip, set up a triggered zone to detect whether or not I had destroyed the target and if so display a message that says the target has been destroyed return to base.

 

Saved it, then went to fly it. The SU-25T starts on the runway but without its payload. I will admit the payload is alittle over the top for one Hemtt vehicle.

 

My plan was to slowly increase the number of targets, and build it up to a combat scenerios. But having no payload is not going to destroy the target.

 

I have attached the mission file. Could someone have a look at it and advise me what I have done wrong Please.

Payloads in DCS are tied to tasks. It's a little confusing and convoluted. It looks like you placed the aircraft without selecting a task (CAS is in light gray, which means it is the default task, selected it again to make it white). If your payload was set to be a CAS payload it should be in the list when CAS is selected. Select it from that list.

 

If it's not a CAS payload, set the task to Nothing, then select the payload from the Nothing list, and export to CAS. Then set task back to CAS. Alternatively for this mission you can set the Task for your plane to Nothing and all payloads should work.

 

EDIT

 

Now having played the mission I also see you have a hidden AI unit with no weapons on the runway. This plane is scheduled ahead of yours. I think the problem is you're seeing the AI plane. Yours won't spawn until the AI clears the runway. If you want your plane to spawn immediately, set it to ramp start (or ramp start hot to already be started) and select a parking space near the runway.

Thanks Exorcet, had another look at the mission and I didnt realise there was a hidden aircraft, I actually thought I deleted it. Also I set the task to ground attack, I think I need to look at the Mission Editor Manual again as I didnt see the task mentioned there.

 

Once again thanks
