investigating Mission 6 as of today

[Jasonmoofang]

I read through the other big thread on Mission 6 and decided to start a new thread since, at least for me, a lot of the issues there no longer applied. I survived the Tomcat issue on deck, had proper comms all the way through, and passed the mission fine.

There were still a few non-breaking issues. It seems like tapes still don't count for final score if it is set to MAN, which is what I did, and I got 90. Also, the instructions for recovery were confusing: the kneeboard said to follow the regular DCS marshal instructions except ignore the push time and adopt Cajun's timing - 1, which in the briefing was listed as 39. However, in the mission, Cajun's push time was 44. Also, the DCS marshal instructed me to 23 DME Angels 8, but Irish also got assigned 23 DME Angels 8. I kind of put 2 and 2 together and figured that no one was assigned 21 DME Angels 6, and it would make sense for me to be there if I'm supposed to push 1 min before Cajun - so I completely ignored DCS marshal and did what made the most sense, but yeah that was confusing.

Also, I suppose this is probably just DCS AI being DCS AI, but Cajun flew like a drunk UFO He'd slow down until almost falling off the sky, and then suddenly go full burner, which for AI seems to accelerate him way more than it does me, forcing a long chase. Hanging on his wing was a sweatbath!

Just wanna say also that for all the issues, that was an amazing experience. The custom Case III comms are truly an immersion game changer.

Thanks @Jasonmoofang. I will soon have to go through all of Raven One campaign to get it ready for the taxi directors (it will be a lot of work with all the custom voiceovers for Case 3 departure) - so I will also try to address any other issues like the ones you mentioned above. I'm trying to have Raven One ready for October OB patch (not sure if taxi directors will be available then), and RO:DF for November if things work out well.

It seems the mission 6 of the raven one dominant fury is still bugged. Not getting the 'taxi to runway'.

Thanks for the info. As I said, I am inclined to wait for the taxi directors as they will break all the missions and will require general overhaul of the campaign, which will make it much better. The changes with taxi logic and supercarrier seem to be linked to behind-the-hood work on the directors and I have already fixed some missions which were broken with the next patch because of that. Since my desire to wait for a level playing field...
