Funky Monkey Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 In the "Under cloud of night" mission which I think is mission 18 in the campaign, I am never given updated instructions after destroying the enemy fighters. I report in after destroying the fighters, at which point I am told to continue as assigned, which was to orbit waypoint 2. I orbit waypoint 2 until I run out of fuel and am never given further instructions or told to RTB. I played this mission twice, first crashing after running out of fuel. The second time I RTB'd at my own discretion but was not awarded mission success. 1
Mike5560 Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 I just had the same problem. I RTB'd when I was about bingo. Never got credit for the mission. Spying on the package's Su-25s it seems only flight lead gets weapons off. And then they circle the target airfield doing nothing.
Badgerspin Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Just to throw this out there, I'm running into the same issue. The assualt seems to go off without a problem, intercepted that one or two flights of enemy fighters (sometimes it seems only one launches, with a possible second one showing up on radar once then never appearing again), I do the acknowledgment that enemy fighters were destroyed where they say to stay on station after, and then just kind of circle in the pattern waiting for an RTB that never comes. Not sure if there some trigger I'm missing, but there's nothing in the F-10 menu for me after that point. All of the fighters in the strike package seem to leave as well, and I'm the only one flying around for some time after.
TheFreshPrince Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 I'm having the same problem... Tried it two times now, but some sort of trigger seems to be missing. I shot down two F5 and then reported, but after that there's no end to this mission. I think the first time I flew around for an hour or so until everyone left and even the flares went out. (If you play this at night in a dark room, it looks really, really cool). One thing I noticed is that the SAM manages to shoot down one of the missiles. Maybe something isn't being destroyed that should be?

shazam253 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Me too! I've found a video of the mission with DCS 1.5: It seems that you've to wait until everything is bombed. I did this, but never got the RTB message either. I will carry a/g weapons on the next attempt, to see if something isn't destroyed and therefore not triggered. Edited March 16, 2023 by shazam253
kaurin Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 I have the same issue. Please let us know if you figure it out @shazam253
Delta Kilo Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 Hello, I have the same issue. I tried to fix it in the mission editor, but the file is protected. But I was able to identify the targets for the SU-25T´s and realized that they destroy 2 targets and for the other ones they only run in but do not fire any weapons, even if I changed the weapon configuration. In my case they did not destroyed the 2 Hueys and one small building (marked with red circles in picture). The only way for me to proceed was to equip my plane with rockets and destroy those targets by myself, and it worked. It is not very satisfying to do it this way, but for the sake of being able to continue.... By the way, I also exchanged the default equipped anti radar missiles of the SU-24´s with the heavy missiles, because the dafault rockets didn´t hit the SAM´s. 2
shazam253 Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 Good work! I managed to pass this mission as well. It is really a bit buggy as well. On my first attempt, the F5 never took off ... On the second attempt, I was lucky. All targets except the Hueys were bombed. I got those with the guns, so I brought back a Flanker full of bombs and rockets. In my opinion, it can't be that serious to fix this mission. I would assume that likely after some map update the elevation of the Hueys doesn't match, so therefore simply re-placing them in the Mission Editor should work, granted to can access them. I also couldn't work the mission through the editor, but I guess we have a work around for the mission!
TheFreshPrince Posted April 15, 2023 Posted April 15, 2023 @Eagle Dynamics Since this is still a paid campaign, would it be possible to at least respond to this issue or better, fix it? Otherwise money back? 2
Ghostb3D Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 Having the same problem even in 2023. Hopefully the lifehack that’s posted above would help me too. But anyway @Eagle Dynamics - that’s not ok, even if you have your hands full. 3

dlder Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 (edited) Sadly, no mention of it in the latest changelog. Hm, maybe a quick-fix-release? I mean, this small 1-mission-bug has now been going on for over 1.5 years... Cheers! edit: hm, the .miz file DID change though... modified date is 11.07.2024, so... maybe it was fixed in this update after all? Gonna try it this weekend.

Funky Monkey Posted July 12, 2024 Author Posted July 12, 2024 @dlder thanks for helping out. If you don't get a chance to run through it, I will be able to in about a week.
dlder Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 (edited) So, I've just tried the mission and now it works! Kind of... Now there is another problem: the SEAD didn't kill all anti-air. And looking at tacview: the missiles hit (weren't shot down), but didn't seem to do any damage. After the 1st pass, both Su-24 were shot down by said AA. I then flew in and destroyed one SA-8 and suddenly, all AA went offline? Either there is some Tacview-Export bug, or...? Anyway, after that, the Su-25 attacked, I killed the jets and the Su-25 continued attacking (unlike before) and destroyed the last objective. The mission then continued, telling us to RTB. Second issue here: the comms text-box was in Russian; I didn't know what was said and requested, but when I had to answer via F10, I replied with something like "Roger, RTB", so I at least new the mission was over^^ <profanity>, I forgot to save the TRK.... but I'll upload a video later on and post it here, so you can see what I mean.

Funky Monkey Posted April 20 Author Posted April 20 I just played through it again. I also saw some message text in Russian while playing in English. I could decipher F-10 from that message so I checked the F10 radio menu. The F10 radio command to say that I'm RTB was also in Russian so I didn't know what I was saying except that the subsequent message said RTB. So I started to RTB even though the strike wasn't over, and later on when the enemy fighters popped up I was way out of position. Overall, the mission is completable now but it's a bit confusing for those of us playing in English.
