fixed internally Mission 13 - Wingman stuck at Runway line-up

[winz]

One the lates beta (2.7.9.18080), on Mission 13, I start the mission normaly, start-up, taxi at the given time, my wingman is following me as usuall. Everything looks fine until the moment I take-off. My wingman gets stuck on the the Rwy threshold, refusing to line-up, behaving like the runway was occupied.

I tried to replay Mission 3, to see if it just a random mission behaviour, but the same thing happened there, the AI refused to takeoff. It looks like another issue with AI taxi and take-off behavior got introduced in the latest patch, rather in a single mission bug.

But as It is the place I experienced it, I'm reporting it here.

I'm attaching the screenshot of the stuck wingman

Looks like I've found a workaround. Using the DCS ATC in addition to the scripted dialogs (manually dialing Nellis ATC, requesting startup-taxi-takeoff) fixes the issue. So..yeah.. not a mission error, but a change in AI taxi logic.

 

But alteast I can continue in this amazing champaign

Thanks guys - this is linked with the ATC bug, AI thinks the runway is occupied if player does not use the stock ATC menu (which is not used at all in this campaign). I think I found a solution though and should have it ready for the next update!
