Mission 1

[Lt_Jaeger]

Hello (again)

 

I started the campaign again, after your recent updates, and I must say it is a totally different ballgame. Great work with the voice-overs, thank you.

 

However

 

UZI 2-1 (at least Tacview says it is him ) / 205 never takes off and thus blocking landing. I taxied to CAT 3, took off, got into hold and received C while 205 was still sitting behind cat 3. No action was seen for him to take off. You might want to take a look. I will try again on the other day and hope it was a one time occurrence. All the others took off like they are supposed to be

Hi,

Thank you for your report and feedback. 

I will take a look. Unfortunately this kind of problems are not usually one occurences but something about deck behavior might have changed... again. I need to find fix then.

I checked the mission. When I did a normal startup with tests and all taking some time it works. But if I do a very fast startup I was coming to recovery before 205 got launched. If I contacted ATC before 205 launched ground crew throw their gloves off and 205 was stuck behind the cat. Could it be like that what happened to you? This could be avoided if I set all departing AI aircraft to be deactivated in case player is coming to recovery before they are launched. 

But... something strange also happened. I was coming for recovery after a fast start up but waited until deck was clear and only then contacted ATC. No one was stuck on the deck but they still didn't took anyone down. That is something I can't fix and don't know what happened. Fortunately if the deck is clear you can just fly normal overhead break and land and continue for the next launch. 

p.s. I haven't flown Tomcat for few months and Jester immediately caught me with DLC not activated in the first recovery. I like that landing list with Jester nagging about forgotten items. It was your idea wasn't it?

I was doing a autostart indeed, because I just wanted to check the voice over and did something different while the script was running. So that might be a thing. I believe the Hornets were all gone, I don't know how many Tomcats. 

 

I flew out to around 15 - 20 miles and did the call in, made sure to be at the ordered alt by 10 miles and got the C call right away. Saw the Tomcat on deck and was hoping she would launch but nope. 

Stupid AI, I believe every moment that they are a pain in the butt for you campaign developer.

I made a patch fixing this issue but it won't make it to August DCS update. But making full start up procedures or smoking some cigarettes until UZI 2-1 taxies should also work.
