dc bug - no fix Mission 4: Bug or am I doing something wrong?

[LordOrion]

There is something wrong in mssion 4:

Chevy 5 (me) and (Chevy 6) are supposed to fly night cap and provider cover to Monster flights (Tornado and F-15E in 2 separate package) .

However F-15E flight seems to orbit around waypoint 2 along with Chevy 6, while Tornado flight is orbiting with Chevy 5 between wp 3 and 4...

This goes forever and mission does not go forward.

Is this a bug or I just did something wrong?:(

[baltic_dragon]

I will have to check, maybe something got borked with the AI. I’ll let you know.

[LordOrion]

Thanks!

BTW: I'm using the latest OB: DCS 2.5.6.57949

I have exactly the same problem.

 

I have watched videos on youtube two years old, and a soon as Chevy 5 and Tornado flight are on station, a couple of minutes later (or less) the first bandits appear on radar and the mission progresses as normal.

 

tried twice just in case I missed a trigger, followed exactly the youtube video as it was going.. but nothing. When Chevy 5 and Tornado flight are on station, I never see bandits on my radar & Tornado flight keeps orbiting ,and mission does not go forward.

 

Please assist us, since it is quite early in the campaign and it's a pity to end it here.... Maybe something got broken in the mission?

I’ll try to have a look tonight. Sorry for trouble!

Thanks!

bwt: take a look at mission 3 too: there is an issue with INS which stays degraded even if you perfrom correct alignment or disable the need of perform the alignment from menu.

Indeed, I noticed that as well. Turning the HSI knob to display true course but did not seem to work either. Anyway, I used F10....

Thank you in advance! seems a very interesting campaign!

Do you think it may worth trying one again?  Just in case AI wakes up somehow.... I have tried 3 times, and it has the same outcome still.

It might be a good idea.

About Mission3 issue: It looks the mission enforces the INS alignment (flag in plane properties).

This explain why it is not possible to skip the alignment checking the option form "special" menu.

[baltic_dragon]

I haven't sorry, RL caught up with me. I promise to do it shortly!

[baltic_dragon]

OK guys, both M4 and M3 are now internally fixed!

Thank you! I understand that on the next DCS update, we will see this change, right?

I noticed that the Banshee flight circles around the waypoint 2 and does not move on to its preset waypoints, thus a trigger may not take place.

 

Could that be it?

 

[baltic_dragon]

There was a problem with the zone detecting presence of the flights, one of those DCS things..

Thank you guys!

Hope it works, let me know!

Nope, it does not...

 

Flights Chevy and Monster go onto their stations as normal.  However, Banshee flight (F-15E) still keeps orbiting around waypoint 2.  The mission does not progresses.

Please check the screenshoot.  I do not understand what it is its problem. I never miss a comm.

 

 

Please guys... fix it, we've paid for it.

 

P.S. 1  I have updated to DCS latest Open Beta version: 2.5.6.59625

P.S. 2  Is there a way to skip this mission and move on to the next one in the campaign? I got tired of it, after trying for 5 times.

[baltic_dragon]

Weird, I have updated it and it worked on my end. Unless something broke again with the latest update  it should work. OK, I’ll just add F10 option to allow player to manually push the mission forward and will upload it in users file as temporary fix ASAP - should be just after Christmas.  Once again apologies for the problems, as you can imagine it is as annoying for me as for you guys, having things that I didn’t touch and that used to work, broken...

Of course, we understand that... I will try the fix.

 

I guess that it's one of those unexplained things.. I wonder If the other player, has still the same problem.

I've been having it too. Has Baltic Dragon uploaded that file? I couldn't find it.

Hey guys, sorry - I haven't yet (just got back to my flying rig after 13h drive yesterday). Can you give this version a whirl and let me know if the included F10 option works for you?

DOWNLOAD. You will obviously need to rename it first. If it works fine, I'll upload it officially and submit to ED. Thanks & sorry for keeping you waiting!

[pieroboy99]

Hi @baltic_dragon !

This "waypont 2 never ending circling" is recurrent in mission 15 too......exact same idea...the package orbit suddenly which kill all the next triggers...

Thanks for this FIX, i'll try it NOW !

Cheers

 

Edit: No triggers killed in the first place (actual Mission14) see next post

Hi !

I think there was no bug in the original mission: The point here is that we DO have to patrol for a long time in WPT3 and 4, and first wave of bandits (mig29) will appear upon our arrival on FEBA and the SA15 detection. The package must be ready to engage, radar On and order to attack for all CHevy's.

It's true that banshee stay stucked too long at WPT2....but all in all the mission makes sense.

The one you upload break the whole timing if we push by ourselves the mission at WPT4 for exemple: the 8 bandits appear all of a souden and we have to take them promptly.

sadly, when Banshee declare and arrive it's way too late and the whole mission is a nonsense.

BTW, i've set the depart Time at 18H00, and the whole flight turn in a WONDERFUL sightseeing with the sunset on the NTTR, the magic of DCS lightning ! when arriving at WPT5- FEBA, it's dark, as intend in the mission.

does it Help ?

My point is: warn in the first place that patrolling have to last a long time, this way, we have to watch for HVA and the AAA on ground.

My 2 cents..........Wonderful Mission one more time (starting 18H or 18h30.....my point)

....Sorry i forgot the bombing role of Banshee....All in all, this test M4 isn't that bad ! Again, banshe arrival is too late..

And...
