Caucasus Case I Recovery Bug

[bonesvf103]

In the stock instant action Case I Caucasus mission, when you call the Forrestal, they no longer respond with your case I recovery instructions but rather with a divert order.  Thus when you trap, you get no LSO or landing grade.

I'm surprised to hear they ever gave instructions or divert. Can you be more specific?

There are currently problems with many ATCs due to DCS bug - not recognizing and logging take offs and landings, so you stay in the mode you started the mission in.

Specifically, when you call inbound and Marshall responds for example "101, mother's weather is visibility 10 plus miles, sky clear, altimeter 29.88, case I recovery, expected BRC 035, report see me at 10."

Instead you get, "101, go to alternate."

I think I've actually see this happen in stock IA missions for the Hornet too.  Maybe it's just an ED thing.

Are you using VAICOM, perchance? There's an issue where if you don't specifically call in "marking mom's" and instead do "inbound," VAICOM will fire the shore-based comms instead of the carrier comms, which causes the supercarrier to respond with a shore-based reply like "go to alternate."

I have never got this message in DCS. Interesting.

I may have gotten it once or twice. Usually if VAICOM fires the shore-based comms I get a "fly heading blahblah blah" for the carrier.
