Mountain COIN - Sudden Death

[LooseSeal]

There I was, flying along to the 3rd waypoint when I heard a small "ugh" and the screen went black.

All I can imagine is he's had a heart attack, or an aneurism? Never had that kind of unexplained sudden death happen to me before in DCS.

Now, I did abandon my wingman at the base because he decided he wanted to spend 15 minutes taxiing down a long runway then taxiing right back up it again. Is it because I got too far away from him? Anyone else done this mission?

[viperBAT46 DTF46]

I see the same taxiing as well. Also the insta-death black screen to F2 view. MANPADS missile struck just behind my head lol. This helo is Tier One

I've reached WP03 and moved into the zone where you are supposed to rendezvous with the convoy, the convoy is never there.  I cannot seem to even start the "mission" part of this mission.  But I have never experienced your sudden death (and I have left my wingman going all the way back to the runway as well).

I can't seem to locate the convoy either.. but the random APC in the village found me lol

[LooseSeal]

Huh. I'll probably just skip the mission then.

Honestly, a bit disappointed with the missions they've put out with the module. It feels like nobody gave them a quick playthrough to see all was ok. No convoy in this one, no FARP in the Reservoir mission and issues with coordinates in the Scud mission.

Yet my log says there was no MANPAD or anything. He just died. For no reason. It's really weird!

DCS: Digital Cardiac-arrest Simulator? 

I'm only kidding...

The convoy is already driving. It doesnt wait. You can follow the mointain route and find it on the half way or near the outpost.

I have actually done a ctrl+F11 trajectory all the way through the route, they are not there either.  Maybe I just need to jump out as quick as possible, but starting the Apache takes time with the alignment and what-not, waiting for the PSI to drop to 70, you cannot just start flying away. So if that is happening, that is also an issue with the mission, IMHO.

Will take a look - thanks.

OK…Take off from parking and your wingman will follow you. 

I'm currently looking into the other issues.  

[Hangar200]

I see the problems - the Convoy starts without the AH-64D in the zone - something got deleted.  The other issues stem from an attempt to "make it real" with a bunch of activity not dependent on the player's position on the battlefield…so a big part takes place while your are still inbound.  Not good.

EDIT: This ran afoul of some other issues - Needs a bit of a rewrite.

Not sure about the instant death / Black screen issue - I will try to recreate it…but it may stem from something else…yes, I am being very ambiguous, but only because I don't some of what happened. I'll rewrite it the way I though it was and try again.

It happened to me in one or another attempt at the route, that the wingman, instead of doing a vertical take off, goes for a rolling start and has to navigate the entire taxi way to take off.  I think it depends on how you take off yourself.

 

By the way, thanks so much for looking into these and improving them.  They really are very enjoyable missions.  Thanks @Hangar200

Hi, I've played this mission a few times now.  What I've found happens is that the convoy starts but then eventually stops at the village at the base of the ridge that the road goes up and runs into the insurgent roadblock.  I've flown up there, taken out the insurgents, am given a "good hits" indication from the convoy down below, but they still don't move.  My assumption was that they would drive up the ridge road from the village and we're suppose to take out insurgents higher on the ridge. 

[LooseSeal]

I've been doing this one again - no cardiac arrest again, thankfully.

But other issues - the convoy (as has been stated) moves to Pershing without me, but when it arrives one of the Humvees just drives around in circles - so that might be preventing more triggers?

I got a message about being under attack by a mortar team in the valley, I went to check it out - nothing there. The mortar team eventually showed up about 15 minutes later.

Anyway, thanks for having a look at it - I'm sure it'll be a good mission once the kinks are worked out!

[Hangar200]

For the life of me I cannot figure to what happened. I suspect I uploaded an incomplete backup copy by mistake - so many things are mission although I have the trigger zones.

Thanks for your patience and stay tuned.

Thank you for the feedback! Looking forward to the update!

[spikenet]

Thanks, thought I'd stuffed up the CM points in the TSD

[RafaPolit]

@Hangar200 Are the HD-64D missions getting fixed on the current patch?  There seems to be no info on the release notes.  Thanks.

When can we expect the working version of this mission? Can/are you allowed to upload here or do we have to wait for the next DCS update?

When I try to add a waypoint in the TSD for "Outpost Pershing TOC", using 40RDP22256054, from the kneeboard, the waypoint on the TSD is off the map.  What am I doing wrong?

I've only just taken a look at this mission and haven't even taken off yet, though just as well I came here as there appear to be other issues

That also happened to me before. The first two points have been totally misaligned, because the INU alignment procedure hasn't been completed.

Don't add the TSD points until INU alignment procedure has been completed.
Watch this post how to check the INU alignment state: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/297651-how-long-is-the-inu-alignment-supposed-to-take/#comment-4937166

Thanks for replying.  Yes the alignment has completed.  Points DAL and AA1 appear correctly, but the other points don't.

No problems here. Adding the points works fine for me. Make sure you've done a proper setup for your SHOW pages (T3).

Hi All,

Did this mission ever get fixed, as when I arrive at WP-03, there is nothing there to greet me. I have flown around the area, and can't find or summon anyone

Anybody?
