ShockandYaw Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Got through all of the very detail instructions on manual reversion, turned toward wpt 4 (iirc) and did some practice, but could never get biff to continue. Tried flying towards the tanker, but in total silence. He was off my wing the whole time just wouldn’t continue with the instructions. I quit to desktop so I’m assuming I’ve lost all progress/ credit for doing the ground tests, departure plus manual reversion stuff.

baltic_dragon Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Hm.. nobody reported this before, I suspect some user error - a track file would be useful. Or maybe it was a one - off problem with the triggers / AI - it happens sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockandYaw Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 If it’s user error I’d really like to know what is I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried this mission from the beginning, lost Biff after the manual reversion lesson. Tried again starting from A2A, never got a response from the tanker, though I heard him announcing his positions. Tried again from the ILS landing and never once heard Biff. Triple checked all radios, etc. Skipped 6 and tried lesson 7 tonight, lost Biff after the first set of instructions. “Let’s turn towards wp3” was the last thing I heard. What I’ve been able to get through I’ve really enjoyed, but man it’s getting tough dealing with all these glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why it's best to save a track when something strange happens in a mission. With a track it would be clearer is it a bug or user error. I didn't have any problems in that mission. Biff did have longer pause, I thought it's stuck, but it continued on the way to the tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockandYaw Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Thanks. Prior to the post above I didn’t know those were a thing. I’ll figure out how to save them for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird7 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 When you quit mission, you get score window with several buttons, one of them is Save track. I don't know if there is some option for auto save, as I forgot to do it manually and just closed window too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easily found, I've just mostly glossed over it since I've had no occasion to use it prior to this.

baltic_dragon Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 @ShockandYawdid you manage to save track or replay the mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphat Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I had the same issue. If you change the first two digits of the 33.000 frequency to something else and then back to 33.000, Biff returns! One other report if I am here: same mission: ATIS reports 20.something pressure (we are being vacuumed out!) which is of course incorrect. Kneeboard has the correct pressure, and of course I paid attention in the first mission, so I knew we are at 1850ish at Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphat Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (Sorry I can't edit yet) By the way, the issue (Biff can't be heard) is always present if I skip to B or C sections of the mission - and who wouldn't like a nicely setup ILS approach every now an then.

baltic_dragon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 This may be something with the way the DCS handles the radios logic, but I will have a look if I can do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just checked the mission, another one where I cannot reproduce the problem, everything seems to be working fine on my end... I suspect some kind of user error OR DCS bug with radio presets. I would generally recommend manual freq switching for the entire campaign.

Hive Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I can confirm this error. I had to interrupt the mission and then skipped to the AAR part when I continued. No radio messages from Biff. Changing the first two digits of the 33.000 freq as adviced by zaphat solves the problem.
