No red smoke with unhook zone, bug ?

[Skulleader]

Hello ;)

 

I've created one mission with an unhook zone but after to have take my load I can't see the red smoke on the unhook zone, is it normal ?

The distance between my cargo zone and the unhook zone is amost ten kilometers.

 

Please do you have any idea why I can't see the red smoke ?

 

Thanks in advance, Skull.

Did you add a trigger to check if the cargo is in the unhook zone?

For some reason the red smoke doesn't work when playing the mission in multiplayer mode (pilot set as "client"), even if it worked with a trigger perfectly in offline mode (pilot set as "player"), I made a thread about it in bugs section. I've also noticed it sometimes fails to work in single as well though, but haven't quite narrowed down the reliable way to reproduce this bug.

use CTLD, that works great.

Hello,

In fact after few tests I found one thing, if the distance between the cargos zone and unhook zone is not too far I can see the red smoke but if these two zones are too far the red smoke is not visible.

 

Here I join you one screenshot where you can see two draws, in the first draw the distance between cargos zone and unhook is 3891 feet no problem I can see the red smoke.

In the second draw the distance between the cargos zone and unhook zone is 1174 Nm the red smoke is not visible, so very hard to find the sone for drop my load.

 

 

Thanks in advance, Skull.

Looks like this was probably just a bug, which should be fixed now:

 

Mi-8, UH-1 The smoke in the unloading area restored

 

Might be worth giving it another go after you update.
