Unable to rearm/refuel at FARP in Mission "Reservoir Fight"

[AstonMartinDBS]

In the AH-64D Mission "Reservoir Fight" I've been ordered to land at the "Jump FARP" for briefing and rearming.

I landed at the FARP, close to the supply vehicles, but at my request for rearming I got no response from the ground crew.

Engine was shut down, APU runnin', door open.

Is this a general or mission bug or just an user error?

I am having the same issues.  I looked at the mission in the editor and realized other triggers were not happening either.  Strange.

As we're still waiting' to get Mountain COIN (another official mission which came with the AH-64D) fixed since months , I'm afraid that ED doesn't have any interest to fix this mission as well.

But maybe - or hopefully - I'm wrong.

I've just stumbled on this one too.  

I have been moving my Apache around, just in case it was being pedantic about exactly where you park, but still no joy.

Given that I've just necroed this thread, over 2 years later, would tend to indicate that this is not of the greatest of priorities.

Could anyone please recommend some SP missions, payware or freeware, where a newb might gain a fair range of experience in flying this beast?

ED sadly doesn't care about the missions delivered with the AH-64D...

Thanks for that and your post was very well timed too.

I'd recently tried out the Syria Map and as it is currently on sale, the stars have aligned, as it were. 

i've just bought Syria map and will be giving these missions a go, later this morning.

Thanks again for your help.

Might there be another mod that I need to download or might I need to do a DCS repair, as although the daytime mission #1, that I've done so far, does seem to sort of work, I keep getting the following pop-up message?  

When in VR, this can be a bit of an immersion-breaker.

If your issue is related to the mission pack "Stolen Content" you should open a new thread and/or ask in the comment section of the download page, otherwise it is OT.

AFAIK you don't need any mods for this mission pack. Simply run a repair of your DCS installation.

Point taken on staying on topic.   I've asked a question in the Stolen Content download page comments, but have also done a full DCS repair and will test that out later.

Thanks

 

Edit: It looks like I might have found the fix anyway.  I've updated the version of MIST that was loaded into the mission files and the issue appears to have gone away.  I suspect that an update(s) of DCS, after the missions were built, has made the included version of Mist be incompatible and fixes to MIST just needed to be applied to the mission files. 

I'll put that one into my list of things to remember, for any future missions that might stop working.
