feedback Mission 10 Experiences

[Ready]

Great conclusion of this Campaign! Looking forward to part 2!! Quite a costly endeavor to use a couple of drone vipers for target practice. 

The only thing I did not really understand in this mission was the MRGS (Multiple Reference Gunsight lines), at 39:20. After reading the text as well in the manual I understand that it is for finding the correct lead position. Will have to practice with it to fully understand it and effectively apply it.

very very very very hard to find drones)))) spent more than an hour on two targets

I tried flying a little bit lower than the drones. Easier to see them against the sky.

Also having problems with this mission getting stuck. Wait for Biff at the hold for runway 03R, get takeoff clearance, head to Apex. I orbit Apex waiting for him to catch up. Biff finally says wheels up, Kermit says "Biff let me know when you pass Apex". Biff says "Wilco".

And that is the last I hear from him. He winds up formed on me, but no further prompts or communications. Never prompted to contact departure either.

[Madrus]

Ok. Success. The problem was that Biff takes a long time to go wheels up. So my solution was to circle right after takeoff until Biff was wheels up. Then proceeded to Apex with him.

Yes - this is a DCS bug, which I think is reported. Waiting for it to be fixed, nothing I can do about it.

@baltic_dragon I forgot to mention before: IRL all aircraft at Golf have their noses pointing SE.

Guess it was a creative decision made for dramatic visual effect, because way cooler passing by the noses of the planes of course.

[baltic_dragon]

Indeed it was!

I enjoyed the capaign so far. Great voice acting and scripting.

But now I am stucked in mission 10. After several attempts it is not possible for me to get over the point where Biff should report that he has passed Apex. I tried cirling around dry lake or apex or even flying very slow but nothing works. Biff passes the apex point (I see that in the TAD), but he just doesn't say anything anymore. 

What can I do to get the mission done?

Thanks for helping.

Ok, i will give that a try. Circling right after takeoff.

[Schattenwaran]

Did not work.

I've circled before apex point and waited for Biff he rejoined and we both passed apex together, but still no response from Biff. I also noticed that Biff immediatly followed me instead of flying  to the apex point.

So I am stucked here. 

I am grateful for tips here...

This apparently should have been solved by the latest patch @Schattenwaran- finally, as this stupid AI bug was haunting the campaign from the start and there was nothing I could do about it...

[Blackbird7]

Just finished the mission, had no problem with Apex trigger. But it is a bit confusing, wasn't clear that I should wait Apex and only then press spacebar, I pressed it when taking off and all worked, just dialog was a bit off.

There is an error in kneeboard, it shows I must park in Charlie, same as earlier missions. But ground radio said Golf, where was also the start. I parked and nothing, thought maybe I really have to go to Charlie... But I just had to wait for Biff to land and come to Golf.

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks, I will see how I can improve both things. I mean I think I know how to improve the kneeboard

[baltic_dragon]

@Blackbird7 it does not matter where you taxi after the mission, the points remain the same. Also, the kneeboard are prepared quite some time before departure and things can change in the meantime, so you have to stay frosty (as you did) and listen to what the Ground says!
