investigating Mission 3 - Smoke rejects gunrun, goes RTB. Jeep does not spawn.

[Rescue]

Hallo there!

First: I like this campaign and your work, Thanks. The first SP experience in DCS.

 

And now the hard stuff:

 

I played Mission 3 (Again, because i had to jump out after the AAR on my first run).

I spawned on the carrier and choose the option to Spawn after the AAR.

After Contact with Browser, i have done the show of Force. Smoke destroyed the Truck.

The Insurgent Compound was destroyed by me.

But after the following SoF and the Manpad engagement, the jeep (that we have to destroy now with gun) doesn't Spawn.

 

At least i didn't saw him. That's why I told Smoke to get him.

After some time wondering that nothing happens (and i still don't see something moving beside a bus) i looked on the Map and smoke was already on its way RTB.

I now told him, i will take over. Smoke returns.

After some searching i found a vehicle where the Manpad was launched but this was a Humvee. I engaged it and run out of ammo before destroying it. A GBU-12 (i know this wasn't part of the task, but i already thought something is broken) doesn't do any damage.

I aborted the mission and saw the last targets name was "Browser Vehicle".

 

I wonder if the spawn is corrupted.

It's spawning the wrong unit or - if i got the wrong vehicle - it's spawning no unit at all.

 

Thanks for looking into it.

 

Greetings

Oh. I also might add that the Countermeasures could use some optimisation.

After AAR Spawn i had 60 Chaff and only 20 Flares.

We could turn up the flare to 60 too.

Hey @Rescue, thanks. I'll check it - used to work correctly before. Got to admit, I really hate when things that used to work well suddenly stop to do so for no apparent reason...
