Mission 1 issue

[jetsimace]

Hi all, 
in mission 1, the Mi-26 transport helicopter ("27") is taxiing in front of me and "holding short of runway 06" as told by ATC Nalchik, but then nothing further happens...maybe this is because there is a soldier standing in the middle of the runway?
Many thanks

I played two times and didn't have this issue.

I wish there was a F10 command to tell 27 that I'm ready to taxi also, so I could start my helicopter in my pace.

Also think the cruise speed of 27 should be lower. I had to keep my engines above the cruise setting to try to catch 27 and only make it in formation with him near the FARP descend phase.

After permission from the dispatcher, you need to taxi and queue for the Mi-26. Don't be afraid to get closer to the Mi-26. The soldier stands there on purpose so that the Mi-26 does not fly away ahead of time.

You can safely launch at your own pace, the Mi-26 will be waiting for you at the runway.

At the expense of speed, I tried to set such a pace so that it would not be boring to fly after him)). Do not try to get too close, 200-300 meters will be enough.

Many thanks!
It was my fault: I tried to use
        Communication menu -> ATC -> Nalchik -> Request startup
to ask for startup clearance (which did not work), instead of
        Communication menu -> Other -> Startup
Since, all subsequent triggers (including start of Mi-26 transport helicopter) had been working working fine for me

I just flew this one, let the Mi 26 land and I landed on the pad next to it at the FARP but I ended up with a score of 50. My wingman was off flying back into Russia so I'm not sure if there is a victory trigger issue with this one? One thing I did notice was setting my altimeter to 760 when asked to, the prompt never went away.

 

Otherwise this is already looking like an enjoyable campaign, I love the scenic relocation flight going through the mountains! I played your Pandemic Campaign and I really enjoy your mission style.

*This all ended up being landing placement on the FARP, once I landed on the correct pad the mission completed.* Great first mission!
