investigating Mission 1 Experiences

[Ready]

First off, I would like to compliment BD for the quality and immersiveness of this campaign.

I have been practicing with serious instructors for a while and still learned quite some new things during this first mission. I love the voices!

Here are the things I ran into, with references to my recording (link below the text, also chaptered in the video)

1. 51:25 SADL set. 2-1 sees me on the TAD, but I don't see FL, it seems his Group ID is not set.
2. 01:11:49 It takes quite a while for Tusk 2-1 to take off. So I had to make a wheel to let Tusk 2-1 Catch up
3. 01:28:50 Tusk 2-1 receives clearance for 21L but at  01:32:30 Tusk 2-1 Is approaches 21R(?!) and makes a go around?!?
4. 01:37:30 Tusk 2-1 Lands at 21R
5. 01:37:50 Tusk 2-1 Decides to taxi through the dirt
6. 01:41:49 After clearing runway checklist starts too early, still taxiing.
7. 1:44:38 Parking next to 2-1 on the ramp, not clear if I was heading in the right direction. I am used to copy FL's position, so had to slalom between the vehicles.
8. 1:46:48 Was ordered to continue taxi to Thunder. Arrived at my original starting position but then the script stops and did not receive any mission ending message.
9. Later on during the mission many of the texts that are displayed do not include a summary of the spoken checklist items. Since there is no way to ask FL to repeat them it can be hard to catch up (I think I only missed 1-2 items luckily).

I had the same issue, I  parked at the same spot I started but didn't get any new messages or instructions about shutting down the aircraft.

Otherwise I am impressed with the amount of detail!

I think I found a way to fix the odd Biff behaviour. Will check the shut down instructions. Thanks!

Same issue with Biff plowing the fields between 21R and 21L on his landing. Also noticed his go around. I was expecting some snappy comment but he reverses course and lands on the same runway again.

Hi,

I just bought this, and despite clearance to 21L, Biff keep trying to land on 21R, then always goes missed before flaring, full throttle, turning right downwind 21R, and start all over again. Got tired of it and quit mission after his 6th attempt. I'm on the latest beta.

Any chance to fix it?

[baltic_dragon]

Hey, unfortunately no, this is 100% on ED, I have no control over that. Funny thing is that he only does it in M01, the rest of the campaign works OK. Plus his landing is not necessary for you completing the mission, the only thing it breaks is immersion... 

[Razor18]

OK, I will proceed then...

If you go exactly where you started the mission on the ramp, he should walk you through shutdown.
