M05 MARAUDER Doesn't land but nothing happens

[CptJocco]

Hi all, 

I'm playing mission 5 right now. I find MARAUDER, lights on, warning shot...everything. He commits to landing, turns towards the airfield. I stay on his 7/8 o'clock position all the way there. When he's probably 15 miles from the airport, he starts making jerking motions to the right (as if he needs to do a shallow bank to the right to eventually line up with the runway, but instead he cranks his wings hard over and then immediately levels out). He probably does this 30 or so times. In fact, I thought the campaign was then going to say something like the hijackers are fighting the pilots and thus the erratic movement. But no that doesn't happen. Instead I hear one last radio call from Knight saying Marauder is cleared to land and if he doesn't, he'll shoot him. Marauder says "I hate you, you can't win!", then he pulls hard right, turns to the west and climbs back up into the flight levels. I follow him the whole time but nothing is said and nothing happens. I would imagine Marauder turning completely away from the airfield and climbing back up to altitude would piss off Knight, but again, nothing. 

 

I had no problem with this mission until now. Thoughts?

Well, I used guns and shot his left outermost engine  completely off, at which point he turned around, flew back to the airfield and landed. Knight has now cleared me to RTB. Let's hope I make it with the 2.6 low state I'm at, but somehow I feel like that can't be how this mission is supposed to go, especially since I directly fired on that aircraft without permission. I dunno, whatever works I guess.

Just had the same thing happen to me. It might be a DCS issue in the recent updates. What you describe is EXACTLY what happened to me. and I too ended up shooting the outermost left engine. I did escort the plane all the way to the landing this time! full flaps and gear down to match its speed

This should have been fixed with Sept 30 update, please let me know if this still happens.
