SITREP: September Syria Map Update

[Cyking]

Heads up: The Syria map received a huge update with yesterday's patch (DCS 2.9.8.1107 - 30.09.2024)—a wonderful update with a lot more details, truly amazing!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t informed about it beforehand, and during my last tests, everything was still in place. The changes, however, have negatively affected some missions in my campaign. I’ll make the necessary adjustments and submit an update to ED.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Chapter 01 - Ferry Flight: The mission cannot be completed at the moment. 

Spoiler

The area where Camp Tyre is located has now become densely populated, and the FARP is stuck between buildings. You can't land or continue the mission. I need to relocate the camp to a new position.

Chapter 03 - Emergency: The mission cannot be completed at the moment. A workaround may be possible by performing a challenging landing. See the screenshot in the spoiler section for more details. You need to land in the blue trigger zone.

Spoiler

The hospital helipad in Haifa has been relocated, and the landing trigger does not activate at the new location. I need to adjust the trigger zone accordingly.

You can see the "old" trigger zone location in the screenshot below. If you manage to land between the trees, the mission will proceed. However, it is quite challenging, and only the southern edge of the trigger zone has a bit of space to land.

Thank you for the Feedback, happy to hear the workaround works. I already fnished the update today and will submit to ED.

Technically also possible to complete Mission 1, but the landing was very terrifying!

OMG ... great job ... so seems there is a challanging workaround for both issues available ... but Update is on its way.

Wish I had seen this yesterday. I landed at the heliport next to the hospital multiple times without triggering the next part of the mission. Decided to check the map only to discover that it was going to be a tricky landing to trigger the next phase of the mission.

I was hoping with todays patch this issues should be resolved. I submitted a Patch to ED fixing it, but sadly it somehow did not make it into the patch today. 

Please be patient till the next patch. I am really sorry but it is out of my control.
