ESzczesniak Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 In both the campaign and standalone Alert 5 missions, all waypoints are almost 3500 NM from my start on the carrier. Is this an issue across the board or do I have a bad file? I suspect this mini campaign isn't going to have a lot of maintenance and TLC until the bug is more feature complete, but I didn't find anyone else complaining and honestly liked the mini campaign as a quick play through and test of different systems.
ravenzino Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Experiencing the same issue here. It looks like the INS problem. However, I still can't find any work around so far. Tried to reset the INS, allow it a couple of minutes to realign. Unlike in the other missions or MP server, the same trick doesn't quite work here. Hope ED can fix this soon. Done this campaign a while ago. Due to recent upgrade/reinstallation, its progress got rest, which gives me a nice chance to redo the campaign, and see how much I've improved since then... oh well, guess I'll have to wait for a while... i9-9900K, G.Skill 3200 32GB RAM, AORUS Z390 Pro Wifi, Gigabyte Windforce RTX 2080 Ti, Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512G + 860 Pro 1T, TM Warthog HOTAS, VKB T-Rudder, Samsung O+ F/A-18C, F-16C, A-10C, UH-1, AV-8B, F-14, JF-17, FC3, SA342 Gazelle, L-39, KA-50, CEII, Supercarrier Preordered.

Ramsay Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 In both the campaign and standalone Alert 5 missions, all waypoints are almost 3500 NM from my start on the carrier. TL;DR: It's a known issue due to the mission's date being before March 28th 1994 i.e. there's no GPS signal Detail: • Hornet 1989-Alert 5.miz is set on 12th December 1989. A work around is to copy the mission from "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Missions\Single" to "Saved Games\DCS\Missions" and use the Mission Editor to change the year of the mission i.e. to 12th December 1994 You can then run the mission from the ME or via DCS>Mission>My Missions Is this an issue across the board or do I have a bad file? The mission is as designed but the Hornet's INS is still WIP and doesn't work without a GPS signal ATM. Tested using Open Beta 2.5.5.32299 i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440

Tested using Open Beta 2.5.5.32299 That's interesting and makes a lot of sense. I suspected it had something to do INS as I kept reading, but since I couldn't complete an alignment at the mission start, I thought it was something deeper in the systems/mission like a lack of starting coordinates.
