Mission 2 won't progress

[Keszi]

Hi,

First of all, it's a great campaign, thanks for all the work put into it!

On mission 2, at the point where we have to hover while deploying the troops, the two companion flights don't do anything just goof around above 10 ft at the target landing area. The mission won't progress after that, even when I deployed my troops.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Z

You need to wait for the AI to land. If they don’t, please report it with a track to ED’s AI team.

I just tested, they both land fine for me. Please remove all unofficial mods you may have, and in any case run a repair.

I just want to add that I experienced this same issue. It took me 3 tries to finish the mission. The first run I clipped a tree after dropping the troops off and crashed.

The second try, I dropped the troops and then nothing happened. The radio calls of taking fire never came in and the rest of the group kind of just hovered around clumsily 10 feet up like Keszi said. I'm actually surprised they didn't hit each other. Looked like 3 guys that never flew a helicopter before. I orbited for about 10 minutes, tried landing again to maybe hit the trigger, and then restarted the mission.

The third time it worked fine. So 2 out of 3 times the mission progressed properly. Not sure what was different about the second try.

This is the only control I have over the helos. I tell them to land, and where. That's it.

 

Which they do every time for me, that's why I think it might be a corrupted install for some. Or, it can very well be a broken helo AI in general, but that's not something I can fix in the mission editor. You'd have to go to ED with a track, preferably a short one. If you tell them 'hey, the helos SOMETIMES fail to land in Paradise Lost M2" that's not something they can work with unfortunately.

FInally, took the time to retake the mission - Yep, confirmed - I just had to land last, and it progresses without any problems.
