Bug report: Mission 11: Birds of Prey A-10C: Any tips on how to finish the last part (cover the chopper)?


Recommended Posts

Great mission and a good challenge. Have struggled at bit but eventually I have made it trough. What I like with this mission is that you need to plan how you employ your weapons, how you assign your wingman and fuel management. I have one question on how the mission ends. After the chopper have picked up Shaefer, you are asked to remain to provide cover for the chopper as it departs 'indian territory'. The chopper will then warn Dodge 2-1 (the player) of some armed footpedals by a mosque. I have to wait long time for the chopper to give me that message. 10-15 minutes while the chopper was just hovering. It seems like the trigger is when you have around 1000 pounds of fuel left. Is that the trigger for this action? In that case it is very tight both for the player and then wingman and I have to divert to backup airbase flying on fumes, while sending my wingman back to base before the chopper ask for cover. In that case, what triggers your permission to RTB. Do you need to take out the footpedals? In any case I had to RTB without permission and only recieved a 70 percent completion of the mission. I have seen a walktrough on YouTube ('Nobody') and it seems that he get that communication quite quick and it doesn't seem that he need to do something to get permission from the chopper to RTB. Any tips on how to finish this last trivial part of this mission and still have enough fuel to get back to base?

Edit September 8: Have completed the mission six times now. Same problem. Chopper with Shaefer exits area to slow, an extremely slow hover out of the area, and player and wingman risk running out of fuel covering. This is the A-10C version, not the A-10CII version of the mission. Seems like a bug.

Hi Baltic Dragon
First excellent campaign.
I have a problem. I can’t finish the birds of prey and move on. I flew this mission 3 times. In each case the helicopter lands above the garage to pick up Shaefer but never take off. I thought I saw that when it lands, black smoke comes out of the helicopter.
I would appreciate if you could help me

Hey! Possibly, but since there is more and more differences between the two versions, I am not really supporting the A-10C version anymore, as huge majority of players use the A-10C II now. I might look into it when I have some time, but currently I need to review all my super carrier campaigns because of new taxi directors being added and forcing me to update all the missions in a short time... apologies for that.

Thanks! No problem. I do the A-10C version for the extra challenge. Missions works fine as far as my progression to mission 12. Great campaign! Very immersive. Looking forward to trying your other campaigns as well. Good luck!

Roger that. Apparently the helo bug also happens in A-10C II so I'll try to update / fix both. Cheers!

thanks a lot. ran today into the same issue. (TEW3, A-10C II, stable DCS)

the chopper moves with like less than 1 knots after picking up Schaefer. I refueld while he "flew/crept" to the mosque and asked for support. I got back, neutralized all enemies and the chopper moved towards a mountain and disappeared. No crash, no entries/events in the Score-menue.

also got 70 as the mission result.

Still great campaign! Awesome experience with the A-10C II ! Very nice use of clouds! Great story and voice lines! Challenging loadouts, I like that! Can't wait to get into the cockpit again!

Still not fixed or the problem returned for the old A-10C legacy version. Is this still an issue in the A-10CII too? I can see, and fully understand that you have stopped service for the legacy version. Guess it is time to bite the bullet and move over to the A-10CII version of this amazing campaign.

I didn't update the legacy version as there are more and more differences between the two airframes and it is getting increasingly difficult to keep up - and huge majority of people are using the A-10C II. But I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear that it works for the A-10C II version. I started the legacy version for the extra challenge and the idea that this was the way the campaign was supposed to be played before the A-10C II was released. Off cource I understand that your time spent on the legacy version is limited when I probably am the only one still playing it. I have to say that 99 percent of the legacy campaign still seem to work well. I'm about to start mission 14. Hope you don't mind if I report here if I discover more bugs during my playtrough. Then you can decide on what to do. I will definetly try the A-10C II version afterwards.
