Incorrect parameters on Campaign Mission #4 -- Relocate and Simple Navigation

[limbo696]

For kicks, I am doing the official campaign that comes with the Dora module. I was on mission #4 where you have to navigate at a certain heading and speed for a certain number of minutes and I failed the mission 4 times in a row. This frustrated me because I know how to fly a specific heading and speed, so I checked the editor.

 

To win this mission, you need to be within two different navigation zones at an appointed check time. The problem is that both the dictated headings (125 and 40) and speed (450 KPH) are not necessarily accurate enough to put you within the navigation zones at the check times (5 and 9 minutes after mission start). I think the mission does not take into account both (1) magnetic variation and (2) the scenario wind speed. For example, I had to fly a heading of 30 degrees at 500+ kph to get inside the second check zone instead of the dictated heading of 40 and speed of 450, and there is a head wind in this case.

 

I think this needs to be fixed so that you are provided with more accurate headings and speeds and/or make the navigation point zones larger to be more generous.

I tried this twice and did it as accurate as I could but failed. With the wind and inaccurate compass it seems purely luck based. I'm thinking of either modifying the mission or the campaign file to pass it.

Reported in this thread and an updated mission is provided with a fix.

 

I suggest you post further campaign issues there as well.
