[Unable to repeat] Can't complete mission 3

[Gazza.Blake]

Hi all, done mission 3 last night, splashed 2 migs, mission success message came up so completed the flight plan and back to Nellis, 4 ejected, but when back at Nellis and ending the flight I couldn't move onto mission 4 ? The only thing I didn't do was the full 40 mins vul due fuel getting low.

 

Do I need to do the full 40 mins vul even after the mission success message appears to pass the mission ?

 

Hope this makes sense, feel like I'm waffling on a bit.

[StandingCow]

Nope you don't have to do the vul time part. Soon as the mission success comes up you can return home, land and move to your parking spot and end it.

[Steve Davies]

Sounds like a bug, Gazza.

 

Try flying the mission again and see if it repeats.

[Gazza.Blake]

Yeah will try it again. Just a pain as I have to wait till I get the next spare hour or so to do it. Also that's my overall score dented.

[Gazza.Blake]

Ok have done this again twice, got sot down by a SAM one of them but the other again said "Mission Success" but still stuck wont move onto mission 4.

 

Have reset the campaign and start again and see what happens.:doh:

[Steve Davies]

Sorry to hear this, Gazza.

 

I don't have any real technical knowledge of how these campaigns work, but I will ping Wags and ask if he is aware of anything that can be done.

[Wags]

To win this mission, all you need to do is make sure the Strike Eagles hit their target and that you do not enter a restricted area.

Further to Matt's post...

 

Gazza, can you post a track? What happens if you exit the mission the instant that you see the Mission Success message?

 

Matt and I are not aware of any bugs surrounding this mission, so it does seem likely that the issue is to do with airspace violations.

Would I get a notification upon violating restricted airspace ?

 

Where do I get these tracks ?

[Gazza.Blake]

Your both right, never took into account the restricted airspace top left of the map for the mission.

 

What a dumbass. Getting so carried away with chasing Migs and dodging SAMs I get disorientated at times and struggle to get back on track, then miss the majority of messages.

 

Sorry chaps, thanks for ya help.

 

Back to it then I suppose.

It's rough to keep track of where you are if you don't know the geography of the map (which I also don't). I have to constantly look down at my steerpoints which can get overwhelming due to sensory overload of all the crap going on around you.

Yeah your right, stress levels through the roof, and it's only a game, imagine those that do it for real.

Stuck in mission 3

 

Hello there pilots, im having an issue with mission 3. Me and my wingmans splash all the migs and nothing hapens, no mission complete message shows to me. After splashing the migs i have tryed keeping patroling betwin WP 11 and 12 while the f-15E strike eagles RTB without any bombs left. I have even tryed to RTB with them but no luck.

What is wrong with it?

Thanks in advance

 

Edit: sorry for posting this here, i just noticed the problems and bugs section

Mission 03 won't end?

 

Hello,

 

I fly mission 3, shoot down the baddies, fly home and land, taxi to my original spot, but the mission does not end and does not progress to number 04.

 

Has anybody else had this issue or know what to do?

 

I do not follow all waypoints strictly, notably, we get startup permission late and depart late, so I cut a few corners in the shy to save time and fuel. Could this be the problem?

 

Thanks for your help!

[Jinker]

I have the same problem, and I do follow the waypoints

To win this mission, all you need to do is make sure the Strike Eagles hit their target and that you do not enter a restricted area.

 

Did this mission several times, never got the "success" message, althought:

-I downed all the reds

-The Strike Eagles hit their targets

-The F-16s fired undisturbed their Harms, but didn't destroy their targets. They kept flying around them and strafing until they crashed out of fuel

[Wags]

If the mission was not completed, one or both of the things happened:

 

1- You did not protect the Strike Eagle flights from hit their target.

2- You strayed into restricted airspace (container or Tonopah)

[Jinker]

Ok, tried again. I paused several times to see what Dodge 1 and 2 do. They bomb their targets, which are then listed as "dead" in the summary, but I still get no success message.

It seems I can't attach the track file because it's too large

[Jinker]

And, of course, I don't fly into restricted airspace

[Wags]

I play tested the missions and received Mission Success message when Strike Eagles destroyed their target. Ended the mission and moved to mission 04.

[TheHighwayman]

I'm having the same problem as above.

 

I am completing the mission, avoiding restricted airspace, and even wait for Dodge Flights 1 & 2 to land and park at Nellis.

 

I have a massive trackview of the whole mission as well.

 

No success message and I am looped back to Mission 03.

 

There has to be some variable we are missing.

 

Is it possible I can dropbox a tacview to someone to review?

 

Is there a way to fly mission 4 separately?

[Jinker]

Next trial, same results. I attached the log file.

Again, I saw the two targets being destroyed. However I noticed that Dodge 1 confirms the kill with a message like "Center GCI down", while Dodge 2 doesn't confirm its kill. Maybe the script waits for this confirmation and the mission success depends on it: if this is the case, it needs a correction.

 

P.S.: in this trial (only in this one!), Dodge 22 crashed somewhere out in Caliente Bravo, 100 miles away from the engegement zone (see attached image)... please don't tell me that this mission works correctly.

Trial number 7: mission success.

It seems that both airplanes of both Dodge flights have to drop their bombs to trigger the message "Dodge X, bombs away, off to the north", even though the command center and the EWR are *already* destroyed.

After this message is given, the check of the status of the targets is done. In my case, the "mission success" message was given just after the bombs away one from Dodge 2.

[TheHighwayman]

Both Dodge flights dropped payloads during my mission last night, but still no mission success. It seems something very specific, beyond player control, has to happen?

 

What can I do, other than follow the flight plan and shoot down MiGs to facilitate this? I've shot down 4 MiGs in one mission and still not passed.

 

I guess I'm worried that my advancement depends largely on an AI script that seems to fail a lot?

 

Thanks for any insight/feedback!

 

It's a CREDIT to the designers that I've flown this mission at least ten times now, and still come home to fly it again and again!

I agree these campaigns are superbly compelling. I purchased TACVIEW to help me work out what I was doing wrong. This helped a great deal.

 

However, I have a problem with my log file. It seems sometimes the log is not saved correctly. This halts any previous progress.:cry:

 

Have a look at this thread.
