reported Task Force Challenger campaign unplayable

[SageNTitled]

The second mission in the Task Force Challenger campaign for Hornet is unplayable with the new weather system. The clouds completely cover the ground and makes CAS impossible.

[Flappie]

This mini-campaign has not been updated yet.

 

In the meantime, you can change the clouds preset from "NOTHING" to any setting you like in the mission editor. The missions are stored here: "E:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Missions\Campaigns" (their names start with "Hornet 1989-...").

thanks

Can it stay the current way for the aproach after the mission? :-) -that- is currently really fun. -g-

That's the spirit! Not everybody is a fair weather flyer!

I see this was already reported. I was trying this campaign today. I can't see anything except for the GMT radar, but still an IR SA-9 just appears out of the fog and the clouds and obviously hits me. AI-omnivision: 1 - escaner: 0

A Fix was in today's changelog. Just re-played it. Nope, still a foggy mess...

Which mission is still foggy, please?

[SPAS79]

Mission 2: CAS. Not a big deal, can be edited with mission editor. The issue that I cannot hit anything, even with fine weather, with CBU-99 is on me tho.

[Flappie]

Are you running open beta or stable version?

[SPAS79]

OB

[Flappie]

Thanks for your feedback. I'll ask the team to double-check (I'm away from my PC).

Hi all, 

 

Looks like something has messed up here, I will chase it up and get back to you all.

 

thanks

So I grabbed a trial of the hornet and mission 2 seems impossible without tags on and an insane challenge even with them on, maybe it's just me being new to the plane though  
I'm running the beta branch, is there any chance there will be a fix in the next week or so or will I have to just skip the mission?

[MacEwan]

Yup, can confirm this is still a problem.

[Spadje]

Still having this issue, can we please get an update on this?

 

EDIT: I just modified the mission file and fixed it for me at least. I had to take ownership of the file though.

Is this still being worked on?

[Flappie]

It is being worked on. The cloud base will be elevated, making the mission a bit easier to accomplish.

[Kiko257]

Yea still have the same issue...

Version 2.7.8.16140

I moved the CAS 2 mission file from campaign to mission folder. Opened up DCS and edited the weather in MIssion Editor by selecting broken clouds and changed the month to August, just in case weather was tied to it. (I didn’t see a precipitation button like in Flappie’s post above)and saved it.  Before leaving ME I ran it just to see if it changed and it was perfect weather. So I closed DCS and put the edited file back into campaign folder. Opened DCS and it’s right back to the original weather. Did it 5 times and the same thing.

I guess my only alternative is to play it as a single mission but I really wanted to do it in the campaign. 

[Flappie]

The final fix is coming.

[Rgeno79]

Thanks Flappie. I figured it out. I was changing the MIZ file that was in the single missions folder, and not the campaign folder. The files are duplicated in 2 spots. Campaign and single mission. So when I changed the one in campaign it worked. Whew!  Now to try being successful on the mission itself is another story!
