SH2, Mission 3, having issue with clearing 2nd co-ord message with SPACE bar

[Hippo]

Hi.  Thanks for the campaign which I'm now enjoying.  I'm having a minor issue in the third mission, where I am unable to clear the second co-ordinates message by pressing SPACE.  It does go away by itself eventually, but then later I find that when I try to launch a sidewinder at the Mig, it doesn't work.  I have the space bar mapped (by default?) to the trigger, and it's what I use by mapping the key to my joystick trigger (with joystick software).  (BTW the missile wouldn't fire even if I pressed the space bar so I doubt it's anything to do with the joystick mapping).  I'm guessing something's gone wrong with the clear message functionality and it's "blocking" the SPACE bar from working.

I got around it in mission by mapping another key.

Apologies if it's me doing something wrong.

Hi, to be honest it is best if the space bar isn't tied to the trigger as a lot of campaigns use the space bar in this fashion. I will check out the script to make sure it is as it should be and let you know.

Thanks for the heads up

Fair comment, but bear in mind that I had no issues with the first coordinates message, which cleared exactly as expected and after which I could continue to fire guns/ missiles with the space bar.  I've just flown the mission again and the same thing happened again: I was unable to use the space bar to clear the 2nd coordinates message or fire guns or missiles in the mission thereafter.  You'll be happy to hear I was able to successfully complete the mission on this occasion, so I won't be back.

Hi Hippo

Just checked through the script. Found a one digit error in the removal of the second set of coords. Corrected this and will be out in next DCS update.

Thanks for the heads up 

Enjoy the rest of the campaign
