High Halden Heinousness

[btaft]

Great Campaign as usual.  

The only issue I had was with the AI taking off on the missions that start at High Halden.  They all taxi down to the runway, take the runway but do so perpendicular to the runway.  Then they power up and go 90 degrees off of the runway right into trees/buildings whatever is in their way.   I suspect that this is a DCS issue and perhaps not unique to the campaign but I wanted to make you aware of it

Hey, thanks I also noticed this and already reported to ED. Quite a mission breaking ai bug, I hope they’ll fix it soon. Thanks for the report.

Same here.  I completed #8 by flying by myself.  Pretty much just a cruise to the continent and back.  My lead had crashed into the trees on takeoff.  Don't know if his crashing prevented any events from being triggered. Tried #9 saw same thing on start up so I quit and skipped to #10.  Same thing there so I logged out.  I'll be back to finish campaign when it looks like it's fixed. Hopefully soon.  Really enjoyed campaign once I figured out how to fly with the AI.  More jug campaigns please!

A quick workaround is to open the mission in the editor and delete the jeep that blocks the runway until takeoff time.

Thanks,  I'll give it a try.

It’s up to ED but they said a fix is coming with the next patch

Ok this should be fixed now.  If you still see anything bizarre let me know and I’ll forward to ED. 
 

I’m seeing some flights not using the main runway but a different one but that’s not a mission breaker and I already reported it.

UPDATE!

Apparently ED did not fix it properly. I let them know, but I'm also completely re-working the takeoff logic to circumvent the bugged behavior just in case it won't be fixed for another month or so.

They've said in last news they're working in WW2 issues for next 2.9 update, but didn't say in which ones they're putting the efforts. Said that.... and for sure you're working in a solution... may I suggest to put all AI's on air just starting the missions over High Halden AF, as an interim solution till they finally fix this AF ground issues? So basically all AI's waiting for your take off and the rejoin holding over AF as the "trigger" to start the mission route. 

In mission 10 is quite desolating watching this weirdo situation in the take off and you discover you're the only section survivor.

HI @OLD CROW. Thanks for the videos. Check my post just above yours. I'm working on a complete re-work of AI takeoff, there just hasn't been an update since. So please wait for the next OB.
