Christmas Eve / Press Photos

[Pyrocumulous]

Super minor, but the mission briefing screenshot is from some other mission for an aircraft with a HUD.

The Press Photos mission that is just before this one doesn't appear to have all 4 members of the flight (Correction: it works properly if player takes off 3rd rather than 2nd; I incorrectly understood that I was flying as #2 based on the briefing).  Both are minor issues; but did enjoy having some very different missions for a change of pace, thank you!  Also forced me to improve my formation flying skills, which isn't always easy the way the AI moves!

Yeah it's a DCS thing, all missions have custom briefing images, but sometimes they're not displayed and you see the default HUD image instead.

You had that issue with the press photo mission because due to a core AI bug the AI sometimes refuses to take off after the player.

Question: what is required to get 100 in the photo op? I got an 80 and I'm just curious what I messed up on.

nothing, those scores are just for the campaign progression logic.

ahh, ok, I thought for a second it was judging me for crappy formation flying, or a less than impressive break on the second pass, or not waving to the crowd as I passed by. I mean, all would have been valid criticisms lol
