fixed Mission 18 Spring Tension bad spawn

[Flappie]

Mission 18 is currently unplayable: as it starts, the two Mi-8 spawn at the very same spot.

 

I know how to edit the mission so it doesn't happen, but I just wanted to let you know.

In the meantime, for those stuck here, this is what needs to be done to remove the bug:

 

1. Open the Mission Editor and open the file \DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Missions\Campaigns\en_SpringMi8-18.miz
   
2. In Tshinkvali FARP, select the Mi-8 group, and move it to the southern FARP object.
   
3. Then move it back to the northern FARP object.
   
4. Save.
   
5. Enjoy your flight.

Thank you Flappie for the solution.

I have had the same problem with this 18 mission of Spring Tension.

It was broken today for me: I also had to go to the mission editor to fix it, but I did it differently than you. Unfortunately, my solution messed up the trees around the FARP: I had trees growing through the FARP rendering a few of the landing pads unusable. Luckily this didn't affect me, nor the AI

I've just loaded the same mission and I had no issue. Are you talking about Spring Tension #18?

Yes. I loaded it 3x resulting in the same thing: 103 and 104 spawning on top of eachother. I changed both helos from 'start from parking' to 'start from ground' and moved them to seperate landing pads, which solved it for me.

No problem on my side too. Do you have the same problem @Raven (Elysian Angel) with the mission in the dropbox link? I just uploaded the campaign mission to dropbox, no editing on my side. With "all the tree" problems you have/had i'm beginning to believe your DCS uses old missions before the caucasus map update, sounds stupid i know.

This might just as well be the case, since the mission you linked worked just fine...

 

*edit*

I deleted the mission files, and ran a repair: this re-downloaded all mission files. Hopefully this will fix those weird shenanigans...
