Mission 11 taxi/takeoff trigger timing bugs.

[orcbuster]

Just want to say great campaign so far. in this mission however I noticed that my cue for taxiing appeared one minute earlier than in the documentation and briefing (40 as opposed to 41 in the briefing).

 

 

Upon taxiing and takeoff the third Hog flight will maintain short on left runway no matter what position I am in and when I take off (which I get the prompt to do when I hold short on the runway) they and the remainder of both chevy flights will hold short on the runway and will not take off.

 

 

 

I've tried the mission 6-7 times now attempting everything from taxiing when prompted to waiting to the point where I am supposed to start taxiing (here the flight do their rolling (taxiing) lines as prompted) to simply waiting and doing nothing and result is the same every time. Max also does his whiskey line at an oddly timed point (just as the hog pilots start doing their taxiing lines) though I don't know if that is intentional.

Hey thanks I will check what is going on. AI behaviour on the ground has always been mission designers nightmare.

[orcbuster]

Ok so reinstalled and that seems to have fixed it. Prompts for me to taxi are still coming up one minute early but at least now the hogs are taking off so I can do the mission.

[baltic_dragon]

Awesome, good to hear that!

[orcbuster]

Ok so heads up, the problem instantly reappeared when I downloaded the latest open beta version of DCS which is what I was using before I reinstalled.

 

 

 

Gonna revert to see if that fixes it again.

[orcbuster]

yeah, reverted and it was fixed again. So heads up on trouble with the next official update,

[baltic_dragon]

I will have a look at Open Beta and some missions and report to ED if that is really the case. THANKS!

UPDATE

 

So, I've checked it and can confirm the bug. However, changing the starting spot of Hawg 3-1 seems to solve the problem. I will do that and send it to ED.

[orcbuster]

Thanks for the help Baltic, awesome work as usual.

For me the problem still persists. Hawg 3-1 is waiting at the runway and not taking off. Can You give us an update when the problem is fixed?

Observed the same today.

[baltic_dragon]

Hm... I submitted it and it should have been fixed in last OB update.. I will have to check and will post update here.

[Andrei]

I did try couple of times with the same result - Hawgs would not takeoff.

I tried to solve it by delaying taxi until they would take off, but they would not.

I also tried switching to the "real" Nellis ground and calling for "Abort Takeoff". Didn't help either.

[baltic_dragon]

For me just switching the A-10s to different parking spot did the trick, but apparently it doesn’t work for everyone.. I’ll have to spend some time on it and hope to find a fix. If not I will report it to ED. Sorry for this guys, used to worked like charm before 2 updates ago.

[baltic_dragon]

OK guys, please try THIS ONE and let me know if it works?

Thanks guys! I will make sure it is included with the next Open Beta. Enjoy the rest!

Just one other note. The "Flight" frequency does not allow you talking to your AI flight. For that you have to switch to Ch1 Green / Red. Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere.
