Mission 2 and 3 still unplayable post 2.9.8.1107 Sept 20, 2024 Patch

[Valinor17]

Despite what patch note says these two missions are still unplayable. 

• Mission 2: Smoke does indeed joins up now but the previous bug of him going off 50miles at the cut and not turning back has returned.
• Mission 3: Smoke still does NOT refuel at Padres. He trails behind the tanker about 1 mile back for me and never approaches any closer. 

These two missions just seems like the troublesome kids of the entire campaign. These two missions are in desperate need of a complete overhaul. Ruins an otherwise excellent campaign and would ruin the experience for new pilots running into two unplayable missions in a row early on.

I am also experiencing this issue in mission 2. There also appears to be some missing dialog triggers, as the expected radio chatter en route to WP4 does not trigger. Attaching a trackfile in case that aids debugging.

Raven one - M02 - bugged.trk

@Lone_Hawk_13 saw your post for mission 2 but i think "set path" must only be available with combined arms.

Second this, Mission 2 doesnt work, Smoke goes to 2000ft and circles the carrier and magic is not listed on radio. Fequency etc. is correctly set

Hey guys. They were internally fixed but somehow didn't make it with the last patch... I'll post the updated versions here for you to try.

Update with 2.9.8.1214.1 patch on Oct 15th.

Both missions play outs perfectly! Thanks!!!

Edit: I missed up on mission 3 by not rejoining with smoke on the way to waypoint 1. Just flew to to WP1 thinking he'll join up on me. My mistake. After I joined up on him, mission played out perfectly.
