elcid Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Hi, So I go through the mission just fine until I find Axeman and locate the manpads. However I can't seem to progress beyond this point. I get the coordinates from Axeman, find the manpads and blow them up, and that's it. Nothing happens afterwards. I've seen videos on youtube where Axeman immediately confirms the destruction of the manpads. Am I missing something? On different occasions I have used GBU-38 and GBU-12 with the same result. Do I need to approach from a particular direction? Do I need to use rockets? Any help would be appreciated.

baltic_dragon Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I think you just need to destroy the MANPAD in any way you want. I will check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcid Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hi Baltic, hey thanks for looking into it. Your support here is unparalleled! After this mission I'll start with Raven One. And when Iron Flag comes out, i'll purchase that too. So I'll try this mission again tomorrow and see if I can finally finish it. Either way I'll be sure to let you know. And if it doesn't work, I'll upload a track file. I'd fly again later but today's my wedding anniversary and if i want to keep on flying DCS well....

baltic_dragon Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hey @elcid I just checked. After destroying the MANPAD (I simply used explode trigger) mission worked as it should. Make sure that you go through all the dialogue with Axeman and press space bar to readback all the necessary information, otherwise it may not work. Let me know!

elcid Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 @baltic_dragon I completed the mission. What I was doing wrong was I was not doing the readback. That did the trick. Great campaign!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaltokri Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I had the same problem. But I did't see any way to do the readback. No F10 menu or "press space bar" dialogue was left. I blowed them up, waited because I thought troops or a helicopter will arrive, but then I decided to leave them alone and RTB. Maybe a dialog can be added to make the readback more clear? Or it will be enogh to kill the manpad. But that is only a small detail issue. Anyway, very nice mission. Thank you very much. Keep up the great work!

Goofeyfoot Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I had trouble with the mission too. But I think my problem was a little different. I dropped a 38 right on them and it didn’t kill the manpad guys. What should I use for a weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I had the same issue. Did not do the readback right away focused on punching the waypoints coordinate, then the option disappeared and mission did not progress beyond this point even after I dropped the bomb and killed the bad guys. No F10 menu, nothing. Guess a trigger on kill would help here. As for the weapon, GBUs are so inaccurate it's better to use LGBs or swap 38s for 54s.
