Bugs and problems

[baltic_dragon]

Yep! You can do that if the AI has a good day, there are quite a few assets in the AO + arty :) but it is up tp you to decide when to use them. I assime your wingman did help a bit?

[Gliptal]

I did

send him to deal with the CLA counterattack.

If there's one thing the AI is capable of doing, is employing Mavericks. As I said, I enjoyed being the guy surveying the whole thing.

 

Also, I have the TacView report if you need it for the F-16 problem of the previous mission.

[baltic_dragon]

It looks to me as if one of the updates messed something with the "invisible" trigger, the same seemed to happen in M2. I don't want to update anything until we have the merge between 1.5 and 2.0, as that could mean I will have to do akk the tests twice ;) but would be good to check it, can you send me the tacview to baltic_dragon@icloud.com?

[Gliptal]

Sure. I actually have the TacViews for all the missions if you need them.

[Gliptal]

I'm back with the nitpicking.

 

Mission 17:

 

- FRAGO lists ALQ-184 twice, whereas you are not actually carrying it in the mission.

- FRAGO lists 1 AIM-9M, whereas you are carrying 2.

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks. I think I checked everything a few times, but still those things got through...

[Gliptal]

Also, the Isreali Apaches are impressively bad shots.

[baltic_dragon]

I don't know if you called Israeli F-16s for help, but they are not the best shots neither... ;)

[Gliptal]

Mission 19:

 

- FRAGO states 120 chaff and 180 flare, whereas you're carrying 60 chaff and 210 flare.

- Wingman does not respond on 251 UHF until just after the first message from the AMC.

[Gliptal]

Mission 20:

 

- Flight plan suggest taking off and landing from runway 07, whereas it's from runway 25 (correctly, given the wind).

- An overhead break triggers the briefing.

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks, will add it to the list. Fortunately nothing too serious!

[Gliptal]

Yep. Only strange thing that happened is that the fleeing T55 destroyed the fleeing ZSU (the latter passed in front of the former just as a shell was fired), but it was such a strange and unlikely thing I didn't feel the need to report it.

[baltic_dragon]

LOL, nice one. Haven't seen something like that before.

[Gliptal]

Mission 21:

 

- Hot start, but I see it already is in the bug tracker.

- I wouldn't change the snow to make it easier to use the NVGs. They are useful enough, especially if you tinker around with the gain a bit.

- Dat crosswind tho.

- 3 out of 4 BOAR A-10Cs hit the side of the mountains at grid 38T LN 1 3. 2 out of 4 F-16s share the same fate at grid 38T MM 1 2.

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks! LOL, never noticed what happened to other flights, I will try to just get them over the clouds and stay there.

 

The crosswind is tough and it is there for a reason... :) Thanks for all the reports, I will update the bug tracker with the missing ones!

S04 Hammerfall p1 1.5 BROKEN

 

I've recently started replaying this campaign, in the openbeta version. S04 I get to waypoint 2 and I hear the radio communications with Overlord about the Alpha team moving in. I've played this before twice already, once in the initial free release and once again when I bought this campaign. So, I know what is supposed to happen after that point. It never happens. The Alpha team just never moves, no ground vehicle ever moves. I can keep circling the area till the end of times but they never move.

 

I've tried the mission twice in openbeta couple of weeks ago. I've just tried it on stable 1.5.3.53279. The behaviour is the same.

 

I guess this is a bug from ED's side of things, but can't investigate further due to copy protection :(

 

I have a track file from stable, but it's too big to upload here. PM-ing a download link.

OK. Good to know baltic_dragon is already aware of this. Did not see it on the bug tracker so assumed it was not. Thnx

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks a lot, confirm receiving the track. Unfortunately nothing I can do, need to wait for ED to fix. Fortunately, they are aware of the problem!

 

Not in the bug tracker simce it is not a campaign bug :)

Guys, an update - current release version of 1.5 (and Open Beta for that matter) has introduced a bug breaking the GROUP AI ON / OFF trigger, which is used in several missions of the campaign. As it stands, some of them won't be playable until this is fixed. The bug has been reported and ED knows about it.

 

Hi, I have an issue in S19 (Masada), with the trucks not moving and not leaving the compound at all.. which .. errr.. make the mission not work I guess :)

Is it due to that issue, or is it another matter?

 

In any case, your campaign is absolutely a blessing, I love EVERYTHING so far, and I can't wait to buy Mirage 2000 campaign ! :)

Hats off to you Sir!

[Gliptal]

It's a bug in the latest release version. ED is aware, hopefully a fix lands on Friday. Until then, you can revert to the previous stable versiona and it should work fine.

[PB0_corse66]

I did try it on both a 1.5 and a 1.5 open beta version, not sure which version I should revert to then.. but if there's a fix coming shortly I'll gladly wait for it :)

 

Thanks for the answer

Many thanks for your kind words! As Gliptal says, you should revert to previous stable release. AFAIK there might be no update this week.

 

And good news about the M2000C campaign is that you won't have to buy it - if you have the plane, it will come for free with the final release.

[PB0_corse66]

Well i Will Wait anyway

 

Thanks for the heads up and believe me that knowing you are in charge of the M2000 campaign is a réal solid point in favor of that already huge module !

M12 "Prisoners" APC convoy "ANVIL" does not advance after F10 menu GO

 

I love this campaign, it is so immersive and challenging yet not too hard either. However, now I cannot advance from mission 12 (night mission where we need to free the prisoners at the CLA camp in the mountains). When I give ANVIL (4 APC BTR-80) the GO command with the F10 comms menu, they do not advance. They do advance at the beginning of the mission until they give me the in position call, but they do not move an inch when I tell them to. All the rest is fine, JTAC gives me coordinates, I destroy the SAM and AAA, drop a GBU-38 on the southern roadblock and clear Anvil to commence their attack. Nothing happens. I clear Uzi (Huey) and they land at the camp but of course nothing happens there either. Destroy the Northern roadblock, even the 3 vehicles coming from the North but Anvil is having a picknick.

 

Restarted the mission several times trying FM but also AM mic switch, disabled civ traffic in DCS main settings, performed attacks in a different order, deleted this mission from the DCS game folders and performed a repair of game files (non-Steam) after which the mission was downloaded again. But still no joy.

 

Thanks for helping me out.
