ornitus Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 (edited) I have skipped mission 12, because of permanent crashing. So, some more reports on next missions: In mission 13, the convoy is destroyed without my doing... So no even shot and mission was success with result 100. Even I was hit by Tangushka and flew back home totally damaged and with 1 engine. In mission 14, no pig flight on the ground, I was just alone with no wingmen. The mission requires some communication with pig flight. The radio was buggy - was unable to contact JTAC, tanker, nor tower and of course pig flight . The SAMs target seems to did not defend and was easy to destroy them. I ended out of fuel (I was unable to contact tanker) and land 10 miles before airfield ... I flew v2.0, but it seems to be full of bugs, especially those "late missions" :-(. Edited October 10, 2024 by ornitus
ornitus Posted October 10, 2024 Author Posted October 10, 2024 Thank you for check. One more thing, which I don't know if is related to mission, or just my poor fuel management knowldege. When I ran out of fuel, the moment when both engines shut down, the fuel indicator shows 4000. I got warning few minutes before-that I am low on fuel with master caution light on, but I stayed calm. I though it shows just Bingo fuel, and thought it must be enough to fly home. But as I said fuel indicator shows 4000 (i did not touch to fuel switch indicator, let it be on defaul value - Main?).

You really shouldn't have run out of fuel with the extra external tank which is the way I designed this mission. I'm guessing that you didn't enable the external tank on the fuels panel and then selecting it.
ornitus Posted October 11, 2024 Author Posted October 11, 2024 Yeah, that was it! On Ext CTR fuel tank shows exactly 4000, and of course, even there is a message during start up "DO NOT FORGET to turn on EXT PUM TANK On", I did not do it. I completely forgot/ignore that I have center fuel tank on that mission. My big fault. Thank you!
