Mig 15 Mission 7 Trigger Problem?

[Prometheus]

Hi I'm having some issues with mission 7 for the Mig.

 

After killing the helicopters I receive confirmation that all helis are down and to conserve ammo whilst waiting for further tasking. Unfortunately even after waiting a long time I don't receive any further orders and if I land at Gudata it's mission failed. I've see on youtube that I'm supposed to get tasking to kill some units on the shoreline but they don't appear for me and I don't receive the tasking order. I have waited until all enemies in the city are dead and the tank columns have reached the end of their waypoints. The Su25s have also headed back home by this stage.

 

Is this a bug or am I missing something I am supposed to be doing? I'm on the latest openbeta.

 

Thanks.

Hey Prometheus,
      Most recent patch should have fixed this issue.  You certain you updated the open beta yesterday?  I just ran the mission and checked, and it worked ok for me.  
This issue plagued a few other players as well.   Here was a response I wrote about it (it was for the F-86 version, but the mission is the same)  https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/270581-f-86-mission-7/?do=findComment&comment=4739691

Oh whoops, I haven't installed yesterday's patch actually. I'll install it this weekend and confirm it's fixed. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Love the campaign so far BTW.

Just tried the mission after updating and works fine.

Rock on!

I have the problem described with mig15 on this mission, I tried two times, and after you take down de two helicopters the next task doesnt trigger. 

[Apache600]

Looked through the mission, everything "should" be working fine with the triggers ... very odd.    I will add a fail safe though, just incase things don't happen accordingly ( if the AI decides to wander off ... which it sometimes likes too)

[xurelointheocean]

Solved. Thanks !! .

I had skipped that mission and done a few more. Now that I completed it, I have to redo the next   

[Apache600]

Awesome, glad to hear it's fixed.    If you've completed the next mission(s), you can always use that F10 radio menu "Auto Success" (available only in the first 30 seconds) to skip to the next, which it seems you may already know about ... if you were able to skip ahead before.

I'm getting the same problem now on latest OpenBeta. The only difference is that I lost track of helicopters so Su-25 killed them. I did get info to wait for further tasking, then waited long time, until I was the only one flying and still nothing.

I checked campaign folder and mission 7 file has correct date, March 10th, so it is updated. Maybe for triggers to work properly I have to do a helicopter kill?

Love the campaign so far, this is the first time I encountered a problem in it.

[Apache600]

@Blackbird7  I'll take a look, but the trigger should just linked to the helicopters dying ... not how they die.   I'll check it out.

[Blackbird7]

@Apache600 it's not easy to kill those helicopters. Tried few times, I crash or they kill me. Then finally I managed to kill one, other was killed by AI. But then nothing. This time I got no message that they are dead and I should wait for further tasking. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is track, if it helps.

I skipped that mission for now and continue to enjoy the campaign in next missions.

Thanks for the track.  Yeah, those helo's are pesky, and I see the A.I. has changed considerably since when I made the mission.   I'll do what tweaks I can to it.  One irritating thing was to see one of the enemy helo's take a hit, and just shrug it off.   I'll put an end to that
I saw one of your attack runs on a helo, you did that well,  attacking it from high and behind.  That's the best way to do it so they can't keep their nose on you.  
This track might have gotten a bit messed up as it showed one of the Helicopters flee with an engine on fire (though flying just fine)  and get away.  

[Blackbird7]

That's what I found to be best tactic, from high and behind. But they can turn in a second and gun you once you com a bit lower. Nasty things.

I thought that track was maybe messed as I used time speed to shorten first part of mission. But it looks like that had no impact on play or the track. As I see same weird things in with debriefing screen and in Tacview track. I killed Cobra2, and that's fine. Cobra1 was hit with R-73 and continued to fly, but debriefing shows "ai abort mission" as last event. In Tacview I see that I managed to hit it minute or two later, but it's not shown in debriefing. From Tacview I see he started flying away, I shortly saw it, but lost it completely and he was far out of AO.

nullMaybe that should be counted as a win, he did run away.

[Apache600]

I sent the "fixed" missions to ED.  So now we just have to see if they make them into the next Open Beta.     I did have a trigger set for an enemy unit to "explode"  if it landed after taking damage, so .... the helo (Cobra 1) would have eventually exploded after having flown 30+ minutes to it's base, and then landed.    That fail safe was put in there for enemies doing the flawless auto-rotations they're so good at, not for this.  However, I added a fail safe to make sure that won't be happening again.  
   Once the update comes out, this mission will run ... once again ... as intended     I do appreciate the reports, and thanks for taking the deep dive into this. 

[Blackbird7]

Just to let you know, I went back and that is working fine now. Maybe working too good.  I just damaged one Cobra and after 50 seconds got next tasking. Su-25 are fast to deal with Cobras. Good thing that mission restrictions are not very strict, as I had to land for rearming to finish tasking. I guess I'm too trigger happy. 

[Apache600]

Hahahah.  Great news.  Thanks for the update on it.  I do wish the MiG-15 carried more ammo, but I guess there's only so many sewer pipe size rounds you can fit in that tiny airframe
