Mission 5 part two missing trigger

[Studsmcgee]

When I fly to the second clearing to pick up the Scottish guy when the LZ is hot I only seem to get the first trigger. 

When I touch down the voiceover yells for the chief to cover them and have everyone get in. Then nothing happens

I watched the walk through and I think there is supposed to be another line about the Scottish guy being missing and we're supposed to go land back at the tent. 

But I never get that second line. 

When I land back at the tent nothing happens. 

 

Am I missing something? Or is a trigger not firing?

Thanks 

[SorelRo]

I'll have to check it. Unfortunately I am away until next week. Maybe the new update added some problems to one of the triggers. 

[Studsmcgee]

I appreciate it. Hopefully its a simple fix. I'm enjoying the campaign so far.

[SorelRo]

Hello, 

I checked the mission, and indeed, there's some logic changed in how DCS will see troops out of a trigger zone, this affected the outcome of the mission. I have modified the trigger and submitted to ED, 

If you want you can find the updated mission here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UYOXNYHdhOaC59nFvaxJ0__T01gLKKQN?usp=drive_link

Just overwrite the mission file on your DCS\DCS World\Mods\campaigns\UH-1H The Huey Last Show and let me know if it works for you. 

Cheers, 

SorelRo

Finally got a chance to try the updated one. Worked perfectly! 

Thanks again.

I'm having the same problem, I think. I tried to download the updated mission referenced above, but the folder is empty. Has the "official" update been made, or do you have a fixed one that works with the current version of DCS?

Hello there. It was fixed on this update DCS 2.9.7.58923 

 

DCS: UH-1H The Huey Last Show Campaign by SorelRo

• Mission 5.1: Trigger for troops embarking fixed

I'll test it later on today. I hope that they didn't mess up the trigger logic again.

It's possible I was doing something wrong, but after I first landed at the hidden farp (with blue smoke), I headed back to the other FARP, got fired upon, landed (where the other Huey had landed), got the dialogue about putting on a minigun, and then it said something about "mission completed" and moving on to the next part of the mission.  Then nothing happened. I accelerated time and nothing happened still.  So I hit escape and tried to "End Mission" and it nothing would happen when I clicked that. I've never had that happen before. Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I think I hit all the marks...

 

Thanks for looking into it.

The mission should load in a few seconds. I'll check in a few hours, timezones are complicated. I'll let you know what i'm finding on my end. 

[SorelRo]

I have tested all the 3 missions that make mission 5 and they all work okay for me. After you get the "loading next mission" message the new mission loads in 10 seconds, it's just a timer trigger. Then the rest of the missions are working fine on my test, and I'm using the same version all users have. I don't know what could not make the mission load. Did you by any chance delete any files when you were trying to get the updated one? Do you have any mods installed? 

[mdtenor22001]

No, I didn't delete anything (and the only step I took to get the updated one was access the Google Drive link above, which was empty). I think the Community A-4e and OH-6a mods plus voiceattack are the only mods I have installed. I'll give it another shot. Just so I'm clear: land at hidden farp with blue smoke, take off, head back to original farp area (south of takeoff farp), get fired on by AKs in the woods, circle a bit and shoot back, go land at original farp near where the other Huey has landed, dialog, and then mission trigger, right? Thanks for checking it out for me. I'll let you know if I have continued problems...worst case, I just skip that mission and move along. Enjoying the campaign (although I do agree that it would be nice to have the option to read some of the dialog because I'm occasionally having a hard time understanding it all, or understanding who's talking). But I appreciate your development work and look forward to trying your other projects. 

[SorelRo]

You got it right, after you land next to the other Huey the mission should load, you should hear the "let's shut 'er down and the loading of the miniguns dialogue and then the mission should load". That's what i'm working on, adding the subtitles. and testing it again. I want to have it ready for the next update.

I'm at this mission now, and have failed it twice. Am I supposed to embark (F8 airborne troops-thingy) both blue smoke and orange smoke? Last time I embarked the ones at the blue smoke, but got mission failed.

 

Aaand it's a bit tedious to redo the whole transport formation flying thingy every time.

[SorelRo]

You should land at the orange smoke, i highly doubt it you will survive at blue. Just a bit of history behind the different smoke colors. During the Vietnam war, since the comms were not encrypted, the Vietcong used to pop smoke when they heard the call on the radio, as a decoy to lure in the Huey's, that's why the pilot has the identify the smoke and confirm it on the ground. The troops will embark with the F8 men, or on their own, since you can't rely on the F8 all the time, known fixed bug that keeps unfixing. That is not a hard mission, and you shouldn't be failing that, I'll run some tests tonight and i'll let you know if i find anything broken. 

 

Cheers, 

 

[d0ppler]

It worked the third time, lol. I think I parked too far away the orange smoke both times the first two tries.
If the dialogue was held a little longer before it disappeared it would be a lot more easier, since sometimes it very hard to understand what they're saying, especially the Scottish guy, lol. English is not my native language, so I'm not super good at getting all the small nuances while I pilot the chopper.

[SorelRo]

You could always bring back the transcript. It's an option on the menu, and if I'm not mistaken, it should show you all that. 

[joker_89]

There is a similar issue for the mission 11-Saboteur.

After orbiting, and landing in the middle of the clearing before the FARP, a message instructs to load the troops using the menu, but there is no menu option for that.

The 2 people on the ground disappear (boarding the helicopter?) and then nothing happen, not even after taking off.

[JohnW71]

Mission 5 part 1 seems to have broken as well, this message was the last I got, flew back to start FARP, nothing more happened.

Thanks for the report guys. I'll check.
