Mission 3 Issue

[dresoccer4]

Just started mission 3 where 1st step you're supposed to land to pick up troops. You're 3rd in line and are supposed to wait until the other chopper clears the pad.

Well I got the all clear to land, however the other chopper never flew away, it just sort of hovered and moved at 1 knot until it was hovering off the pad and about to crash into the trees (as shown in the screenshot)

 

Update: i went ahead and left them to and flew to waypoint 2. I saw the gunships orbiting, however nothing else ever triggered; no audio or updates. So not sure what to do now?

Update 2: eventually after landing in the clearing i guess a trigger fired and I was able to continue the mission. the gunships and jets came and lit the place up. then i fly home and landed. mission accomplished!

Thanks for the report, the helo takeoff is broken in 2.9 it seems, I reported it to ED. If you want to play it, they will eventually take off, you just have to wait - or use time acceleration. Hope they'll fix it soon.

Great news from ED, this AI bug will be fixed in the next OB update.

Hi! I just purchased the campaign a couple of days ago (awesome work btw). Sadly, I´m still having the same issue on Mission 2... Only the first helicopter takes off on the initial airbase (the second one stays there), and when landing at the LZ (only the first helo and me) it never takes off again...

Shouldn´t this be corrected with the update you mention?

Thanks a lot

Are you on open beta? I'm not sure if the fix made it to stable or steam or whatever other versions there are. For me - and others- it works fine now.

Yes, I’m in 2.9 open beta (MT), web version (not steam). I’ll check if there is any update to the game but I guess it automatically checks for updates when you lanunch the game?

many thanks

OK I just played it again. All helos took off as expected. You either don't have the latest version or some unofficial mod must be messing with your game.

I have just executed the updater directly  (it seems it does not automatically update the game with the MT exe) and installed the latest update. Works like a charm now!

thanks!! Really enjoying this campaign

True, the MT wouldn't update the game, only ST would. Maybe that's changed now with the latest version, if MT has been changed to default that is. I do however always use Skatezilla's app and update manually.
Happy you've solved it!
Cheers!!
