COOP mission 4

[LithiumR]

My son and I both got the campaign to play the COOP missions but on the first one (COOP mission 4 I think) we never got bombers. Just wondering what the specific trigger is. We play DCS a lot in MP but this is the first campaign we’ve done so maybe we missed something (but I think we did everything right). 
 

Also on mission one I got told that “We don’t fly that close, we’re not a display squadron” or something like that hahaha. I love it. I feel like having flown in DCS since 2012 and never doing campaigns I might have been missing out. This seems awesome... I wish there were more COOP missions though! Very cool so far.

You've gotta be at (near) the rendez vous point, and orbit there until the bombers arrive. If you're not sure, check the kneeboard and mark your current location to see if you're far off.

That was a really fast reply!! 
 

Sooo... there is an orange circle that shows up on F10 that’s says rendezvous point and a wp on the knee board but the 2 aren’t in the same place. We orbited the wp 1 on the knee board but at 8 nothing happened so we moved to the orange circle on F10 and orbited a while. (We did get a message that bombers were late)
 

mostly just wondering how close to the wp do you have to be? I guess we’ll try again with a tighter orbit. 

Maybe a screw up on our part. Idk if we were right at 23k feet either. We were just conning a circle haha. Maybe we need to tighten up

As long as you're within 5(ish) miles from the marked RDV point you should be OK. Especially if you got the reminder that they're late. The altitude doesn't affect the trigger. Just orbit there and wait until they spawn. Also, check the RDV time specified in the briefing - maybe you got there well ahead of time?

EDIT: I checked the triggers again. If you got the 'bombers are late' message then you entered the trigger zone. A timer starts and 100 seconds after that the bombers spawn as long as you're still inside the trigger zone (10 NM radius around the F10 map mark).

Okay... thanks! We’re flying it again tonight. 
 

Also: having a blast with your campaign!! Thanks for making it!

Also want to add: Thank you SO much for including a couple coop missions. Flying in DCS is a way for my son and I to “hangout” when we are far away from each other and having cool coop missions is awesome for that. So thanks!

Host a multiplayer server and add one of the two co-op missions from the campaign folder.

For some reason, I do not have the COOP mission files? Am I missing something??

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I’m sorry that plan didn’t work out.
