reported earlier Soldiers don't embark!

[Fabiano-VIKING]

Soldiers are not embarking the Huey!!! More people are complaining about this in another session of the forum.
If you try to embark a lot of soldiers (more than 8 I think), only the first will embark. I created missions where I have to embark 1 or 2 soldiers and none of them gets embarked! They run to the chopper and stand still in front of they Huey.

I did some testing with different numbers of soldiers - here the result:

Group size (Soldiers)	Embarking
1	1
2	2
3	3
4	3
5	3
6	3
7	3
8	3
12	3
14	3

 

Summary:

Independent of the group size only the first 3 soldiers are embarking.

 

DCS Version:

Current OB 2.5.6.60720

 

I hope, ED sets a high priority to fix this issue and we don't have to wait a month or more. A lot of missions are broken due to this problem.

Yes, I hope they fix that very soon! 

Here I have some missions with only 1 and 2 soldiers to embark and none of them are embarking at all.

By the way, they are pretty fun missions. I'm gonna attach them here in case you or any other person would like to try them.

O resgate do soldado Patatipatata (Single Player).miz Single player - Dangerous Rescue in Bad Weather.miz

[AstonMartinDBS]

I've tested the "Single player - Dangerous Rescue in Bad Weather" mission:

 

First run:

Only 1 of 6 soldiers embarked into the Huey after the first attempt. After that I tried to disembark this single soldier from the Huey, what resulted in a complete embarking of the whole group of 6 soldiers.

 

Second run:

Then I replayed the mission (without exiting DCS) and the embarking procedure worked on the first try... very strange.

Yeah there is not really a pattern.. DCS is just behaving weird.

This thread is the report. Only an official respond from ED is missing at the moment.

[Natmeo2020]

PLEASE FIX !!!!   Egal  Dynamics  i made a mission with many others and we are waiting to play  

[AstonMartinDBS]

It's sad that ED didn't even notice this bug report - not to mention that it was investigated or reported to the development team after four days.

 

I cannot believe, that this embarking issue occurs again and again at regular intervals and we have to wait several months to get it fixed every time.

Hi all,

 

this is already reported and the team are working on a fix.

 

thanks

[jonsky7]

I noticed this, Had a group of 4 infantry.

Selected "Embark" from the Menu - First man got in, others did nothing

Selected Disembark from the menu, the other 3 got in lol, flew them to my destination, they all got out when selecting disembark again.

[AstonMartinDBS]

Bug is still present in OB 2.5.6.61527

[bin801]

hope this function can be fixed soon. 

[BIGNEWY]

should be in the next open beta planned for end of March. I have tested a fix today.

 

thank you

[ex81]

Well, well. I hope they "fix" it in the next OB.

Let`s see what bug we have to report then.

The bug seems to be fixed! Thanks @ED!

But I hope, embarking won't break again in one of the next updates.

Troops don't embark when on stable. Same mission played on the 2.7 OB and all goes well !

At least the issue has been fixed in the OB. Fix in the stable version will follow.

Hi guys....Just checking if it is fixed or if I'm doing anything wrons....so far froup of 14 soldiers won't embark on huei. I will test with smaller groups but just wondering if it's me or it's still an issue?
