illuzian Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 This is for the mission where you fly through the valley/mountains and end up having to perform an emergency landing. Not being familiar with emergency procedures in the F/A-18, with the power out loosing FBW has resulted in me end up in a couple of unrecoverable spins turning towards the airfield. In normal conditions, I can land the aircraft without issue but and I'd be happy to keep attempting this emergency landing but there's no "checkpoint" before the landing. This means every time I die I have to fly through the valley all over again. I literally quit the game after this happened a few times in frustration. As an extra note - this might be a bug - on one of my retry take-offs at the beginning of this mission I ended up getting shot down with guns by one of the aicraft in the area shortly after take-off DCS Dream Wishlist: 1.

FrankMT Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Will add a checkpoint to MS06 in the next patch. Sorry about the frustration that it has created. Will check, but most likely it was because of an unlucky attempt, it's DCS, a sandbox, there is only so much we can do to limit things while creating cinematics. Tips: For the landing, you need to be patient during final to not jerk the plane around while paying close attention to your back-up airspeed. Dont get too slow and avoid pushing on the stick, it is very easy to flip the jet upside down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekktor Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Lucky me - was able to land the bird 1st hand. Realized, that the engines are still running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfall Zero Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Has this been fixed? I see that there is a checkpoint, but it does not seem to work - the mission does not restart and I am unable to resume from the checkpoint after a fail.

Hotfix coming tonight or so (within this week), it will have a checkpoint working then. Many thanks for understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be fixed now with the new update. Let us know if it still doesn't work for you in M06, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
