"Stillness in time" - many missions are broken, not a good experience!

[PawlaczGMD]

Having played a few missions, most of them have broken triggers, don't assign score correctly, don't instruct players on what to do, or simply have an unreasonable scenario.

 

Examples:

-First mission - wingman ejects half-way through because of bingo fuel?

-Refinery raid - both me and wingman bombed the refinery precisely, but it is not destroyed, and does not assign score for it. I killed all the trucks, but the mission still ends in a failure.

-ECM cover mission - I've returned and landed with all the other aircraft after they were done, but the mission ends in failure. 

-Cover Ka-50s from 2x Su-27s.  Not a bug, but really? This is the fourth mission I got. The difficulty spike is insane. 

 

There are just so many issues, the campaign is a horrible experience currently. I would ask that someone tries to play it, and refreshes it so that it works.

I know this is a pretty old update, but did you give it a try?

Actually I've seen it, but assumed it's so old it's not worth trying. I will give it a shot if you recommend it!

I flew that campaign almost to completion, but I admit that it was like 5 years ago, so not sure how it behaves with current DCS 2.9  ... if you do try it, please come back and tell us your experience with it

OK, the first few missions have worked fine! The edited refinery mission as well, although I would have kept the AAA guns to make it more interesting.

I'm flying this campaign right now and I'm running into the same issues: refinery raid and the EMC cover... In both, I meet the objectives 100% but they appear as unsuccessful

Just about a year after the last post, MG3 hasn't been able to make a small update to it... Like MiG 19, abandonware.

Yesterday, I resolved the issues with the two original missions in just 20 minutes. Today, I will test them and if all is well, I will post them in this thread.

Thank you, I look forward to re-fly this Campaign once I finish my re-training with the 21

Please check; it seems to work.

Hi, I have still not finished my re-training on the -21, so I can't attempt yet any combat mission with it, however I liked the fact that you added custom weather instead of the old default, and the custom US livery seems to work now. Thanks for the effort invested on fixing these missions 

 

 

Best regards,

I forgot to mention some details:

To successfully attack the refinery (09N):

At least two bombs must hit the refinery, causing more than 20% damage (the building damage model appears to be broken so you only need to do a >20% damage to destroy this) and at least half of the transport vehicles must be destroyed.

I've incorporated an "easter egg" to add complexity to the refinery search, which simply requires attentiveness.

The ECM mission (03) was less damaged. You just have to fly correctly between the different WPs and connect the ECMs at the right time as indicated in the mission.

I have flown the fourth mission against the KA-50. It seems that there is also a problem. I will try to rewrite it in the next few days. It´s OK but unlike the enemy IA, some time our alied IA is like.

Mission "Point Noir" C6U 

Spoiler.

Spoiler

This mission consists of flying at night with our ECM pod along a route tracking enemy signals.

At a certain point, before reaching the WP where we are required to end our mission, two MiG31s are launched to intercept us (around 40mn form us). With Skynet piloting both Mig31 and despite our ECM, both 31s head straight towards us without problems... Obviously we flew without escort or missiles to defend ourselves. It seems like a bad joke.

On the other hand, staying above 11,000m with the current state of the Mig21 with 2 external tanks and ECM pod is extremely difficult) 

I have been shot down on all occasions so far if I try to reach WP6 (if WP6 is not reached, the mission is failed). If you want, I can share my version of this mission.
