P-51 Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney-AI pilots will not take off and join mission

[Negativghostrdr]

Here is a track showing my AI wingmen just hanging out in line to get on the runway...for eternity....I've tried running this mission (and others) many times over the last few days with similar results.  Once in a while one plane will crash into the one in front of it while lining up, but then all planes simply sit there.  I finally purchased a good enough system to play this about a week ago, so I haven't been experimenting for months or years or anything.   I am running the multi-threaded version.  I have an intel i9-13900 and an RTX 4090 in an Alienware Aurora R15, with 32G Ram.

You can also see planes parked in the surrounding fields.  I ran a repair and update of DCS, I am running the latest version of DCS beta.  Bottom line is that AI wingman functionality appears to be broken.  Spoke to the creator of the campaign, this does not appear to have anything to do with the campaign itself.  I did see other folks on the campaign thread that I just came from complaining of the same issue.

Have you tried circling back over the tarmac and issuing a Flight... join up or rejoin command? Or issue the command as you're rolling. Curious if they'd respond.

I actually did try exactly that last night.  Unfortunately nothing.  I think it's the DCS gods nudging me to join a multiplayer server!

Thank you I have forwarded my message to Obi and he has responded that he will be taking a look.  Thanks again Reflected for getting me to the right people!

Yes, its several missions, I think it has to do with the barrels that are on the runway and the infantry that runs and stops in the runway.  Im sure it is because things are shifted in new map.  Love the campaign up to that point.

There are no barrels on the runway, at least there are none for me or most others:

I did not buy the campaign until after the Normandy update, but it was just a couple days after.  I will get screen shot.

Maybe I should delete it, then download again.  I did post screenshots, shows some planes also in unintended spots also, Im sure I just need to get the map and mission synchronized.

Thanks for the screenshots, that is so weird, somehow you have the old missions and the new map, how is that even possible? Gotta ask ED.

This is due to when using multithreading, dcs does not auto update.  Run the updater or just run dcs without multithread, it will update, then restart in multithread.

I had same issue, this fixed it for me. ShotgunDexter.
