Mission 5, SIA not visible going to the treeline.

[Asghardhyl]

Hello

I've tried this mission again after loosing quite a bit to much to the manpad...

Finally avoid it and at my uttermost deception : no visible troop on the ground going to the treeline, I've check visually and with FLIR.
And of course, Newt was at 200M of elevation (not 22k, just meters) and crashed.

I didn't save the track, but I've got the tacview which is showing the troops(how !) going to the treeline...
 

I'll give it another try later, but if anyone can check if they have the same situation going.

Regards

 

PS : that manpad was a bit close, just a little bit

Hello,

I've done it again today.
Here is the track to see Newt going down on his own. Sadly I didn't manage to avoid the SAM, but this time I had visual on all enemies on the ground so might be a one time bug I've experienced.

If you can check on Newt comportment it would be great as shooting the rest of the SIA force could be touchy with only Cannon.
I know this part of the mission is skippable but I'll love to have all the points available  .

Thanks for the track, really helpful.  Looks like Newts manages to lock himself into some ridiculous self induced fall out the sky, he has quite a tight orbit to maintain so this is probably the cause.  Easily fixed .

Sadly I don't know how to correct it, I'm kind of a newbie on mission editor... Can you guide me or should I wait for the next update ?

Furthermore I've manage today to avoid the SAM and shoot the truck going to the treeline, but I wonder, should they not go towards the crash site ? If I'm not mistaken they seemed to go more to the south than needed. Sadly I didn't manage to save the pilot as I can't see the troops on the grounds next to the trucks.

If I don't save the pilot, does it have any consequences on the rest of the campaign ?

Pretty sure ChillNG will fix it for you (and DRM will prevent you from doing much with it anyway).  The "easy fix" comment is since a lot of the time changes in DCS mean fixes aren't easy but apparently this one is something obvious and simple to fix.  But you'll have to wait for the next update.

Yeah it's a case of waiting for the next update, took about 5 seconds to fix, but unfortunately things don't get patched out until the next ED update to DCS.  The crash site isn't where the pilot is, he's in the woods to the south.

Thanks for your prompt answer. 

I really enjoy this campaign, the immersion is quite impressive ! Hope it will be updated soon
