I LOVE THIS JOB (Version 4.0)

[d0ppler]

Outstanding work, super fun!!

Are there any ways to toggle the workstation console on and off?

 

And how do I refuel? I've tried to refuel at the base as well as the airport, but I never get any confirmation back from ground crew, nor any fuel. 
EDIT : nvm, found out about the refueling part. I hadn't set my radio selector to INT.

Now it's getting weird. Something here breaks the mod. I uninstalled the OH-6A reinstalled. Everything fine. Then I load ist in the mission and the rudder pedal gets a live of its own.

I could not get the oh 6 to show on the list in editor Due to lack of time I can’t check it today of why. I had it before. In a open map I could not find it.

Dont know if its related but at least in the previous version (3.0) of this mission i found out a weird bug... if you die or crash and restart the mission with the "fly again" option of DCS debrief window.. the next time you spawn the Huey would do weird stuff like if there was an AI trying to fly at the same time than you... it would begin to move controls and pedals and not in a good or smart way .. i had to completelly exit the game and restart DCS for it to properly work

Sometimes, after I've landed at the hospital to finnish off a mission, the HUD stops after "Incoming transmission" and nothing more happens.

You might have to change the task. It is not available with something like CAS.

Does the behaviour transfer to other missions too? Cause that's the weird part. Once I had tried to use the OH-6A in this one. The ghost pedals also happened in missions from the instant mission tab

Ah of course. 

[d0ppler]

This happens very often now. It says "incomming transmission", but nothing happens.

If I abort the mission, I get a new one, and every thing is back to normal, so I suspect there's one single mission out there which causes the trouble.

Have you tried to take off and land again? 

[MAXsenna]

@Presidium Thank you so much for this mission pack. I'm having a blast. Totally gives me GTA vibes! Bravo!

Right! I'm flying it now, I'll come back to you if it happens to me. I guess I haven't "met" that mission yet.

Any chance you made it work? Still can't make it work with the OH-6A wich is such a shame
All other choppers I tried worked. UH-60L (mod), Chinook with littel height problems
For the Ch-47 one would have to raise all the Lower Than conditions to make the landing noticed by the trigger XD
Trigger said Lower than 2. Ground is 80 feet. Unit is measured with 87 ... That was such a sweet landing though.

No sorry. Right after this I had to catch a plane for some work. Unexpected and not too popular with my missus since emergency travels has been the name of the game since June. Anyway I discovered the triggers from another mission I made by basically switch the chopper and take off position will not work. Even if the triggers are there I can see them. 

[MAXsenna]

@SparrowLT @nazradu Fixed the Ghost driver. A Track is saved inside the mission and have to be removed.
 

Make sure you have 7zip or similar installed. Might even work out of the box with File Explorer come to think of it. (I copied the file first).

Rename .miz extension to .zip (or just add it).

Double click to open the file and delete the two track folders.

Answer "Yes" in all dialog boxes.

Click back with mouse or backspace or whatever to exit the zip.

Rename the file to .miz or remove .zip

 

That's it. Ghost driver is removed.

Cheers!

Just turn off the Historical Filter in the Mission Editor.
It's the clock at the bottom.

I could select the OH-6A then, and everything seems to be fine. I dropped the fuel to 40% as it seem the load will be too heavy in some missions.
I do get very strange behavior when I fly. Maybe it's the Syria map, as I haven't noticed this behavior in The Marianas. Seems linked to ground effect, as it constantly happens when I fly over buildings. Triple checked my Controls Settings for conflicts.

Cheers!

@Presidium

Wondered the  same, as I can barely see the radio menu. Refueling works fine at the base and the hospital, just add a little so it quickly done. Chief will say "Unable to comply", while I guess that's only for the rearming.

@d0ppler I haven't come across any missions failing to load yet. And I've played it a lot lately! (Gonna try some more in the UH-6A, and even the Kiowa and Chinook later ). Tried to "Abort mission" from the F10 Menu? 

Cheers!

AWESOME! 

Thank you very much. Still the best "Go To Mission" when you want to have some fun and experience some challenges with the Huey.

No I still got the same issues with moving pedals, but I found the culprit.

I tried to delete the triggers:
4 Mission start Remove Crew Status panel
1 Once Hide Co-Pilot Body
1 Once Show Pilot Body
1 Once Open Doors or something
1 Once Close doors

Everything worked then as usual until I landed at the truck in river site and "she" opens the doors again. Thats when the pedals start to move on their own again. I guess that is also what you experienced.
I now will remove every trigger that manipulates the module and then it might work.

@Presidium would you allow to reupload a working OH-6A build to the user files?

Yeah, I guess I mistook it for the same issue, because as soon as I removed "the track", I've never seen it in the Huey again. Do you think it's a bug with the OH-6A, as I don't get the same behavior in the Kiowa, as far as I've seen.

How do you overcome the "overweight"? Since I have pedals I just need to touch them lightly, and I can fly and land, while as soon as it's loaded, I can't take off again. Which makes sense.

I did not come that far, but if I see, that taking five guys is impossible with 50 % fuel I might also reduce them to three.

i have to give this mission a try!! i love helis!

It's become my favorite go to mission! Has really helped me with fast and quick "autorotation" landings in tight spaces.

Hehe! Yeah! Having a go in the Kiowa with 10% fuel, I can barely takeoff when picking up the bomb squad for diffusing the bomb, (almost sliding takeoff). And that's only two guys. Picking up a single victim later with even less fuel was impossible. Joe was light enough though! Guess his wife has him on a diet.
Will trey later with Gazelle, (and the Mi-8). this mission set screams for light helicopters. Might try the Chinook, while I believe it's gonna be tight.

Chinook is easy mode as it is super stable. But when I tried the Hook it did not register some triggers. I guess it's a height problem that I also had with the UH-60L. I mean something with the unit_below_agl kind of condition.
