Event 2: 1v1 .. F-86 not moving

[MichaelJWP15]

I realise that the mission scripts check you've done everything on the checklists, but I seemed to be progressing OK for this mission, got all the expected dialogue, passed through the arming area then was holding short for runway 08, right behind the F-86.

Then no matter what I checked, I couldn't get the F-86 to take off in front of me. I am sure I forgot something but I couldn't figure out what.

So my question is, if you are stuck, is there any way of telling what trigger the mission is waiting for?

Edit: I forgot to take a screenshot but there was a warning light "Inertial Nav Sys Out" which I think may have been the issue - but I did ask for a full alignment at the appropriate stage - any clues for this?

Can you send me a screenshot that I asked for in the ‘if you get stuck’ thread please? The F-86 is waiting for you to finish your checklists but without a screenshot of the message history I cannot guess what you missed. In any case Jester is calling out the checklist items, it’s also on your kneeboard and the doc folder .

It has to be something you physically click in the cockpit before take off. When l intentionally missed all the ground checks but did the rest like pitot tube, oxygen, trim -3 etc. the game allowed me to progress

Yes, you didn’t click on something you should have clicked on. Without the screenshot that’s all I can say.

Thanks, and understood, I am going to try it again anyway, I don't think it's a bug.

Just wondered if there was any debug mode or trick that allows a player to see what the script is waiting for, I guess there isn't.

I just told you there is. The message history menu. You see e.g. Jester’s last call was ‘stab augs’ then uou open the kneeboard and see what you need to do with them (engage) and do it. But Jester’s calls remain on screen too, for 1000 seconds.

Thanks. So I tried it again, no problems this time and had a lot of fun chasing the F-86 around the sky, VR is so awesome for this as I craned to see him over the canopy bow at the start of the lag pursuit, then crouching more to see under the bow as he came back to my pipper for the shot  

Will probably never know what was wrong before, but looking forward to working my way through.
