cannot reproduce Training mission #10 gets stuck where the second BMP is targeted with IAT

[Eclipse]

As the title says, the mission stops advancing at the part where the player targets the second BMP using Image Auto Track.  There is no prompt to press spacebar to continue, and I pressed spacebar anyway just in case.  I also reloaded the mission and tried again, making sure to wait until the narration was finished before I targeted the second BMP with IAT.  In both cases, nothing happens after using IAT to target the second BMP as instructed.  The training does not progress past that point.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi @Eclipse

I just tested that mission and couldn't reproduce the issue you describe.

The "press spacebar" prompt doesn't appear immediately, only until the narrator finishes, but it does appear afterwards.

Please provide a track file of your issue so we can analyse.

Good morning, @Lord Vader, a track is attached.  I retried the mission again this morning and the result is the same.  No matter what I do, the mission does not progress past the targeting of the second BMP with IAT, whether or not both BMPs are in the field of view.  It's interesting that you had no issue when you tried it.

Thanks and have a great day

Hello @Eclipse

I'm not sure what happened here, but in this track, after selecting the control measures, you never perform any of the tasks requested by the narration.

Again, I took over the controls, performed the necessary actions and the mission progressed beyond targeting both BMPs with IAT.

This is really odd. 

I ran the mission again, and at first had the same result - targeting the second BMP with IAT did not move the mission forward.  But... after I had tracked and dropped and re-tracked the second BMP a few times, I decided to drop the first BMP and retry tracking both BMPs. I re-tracked the first BMP with IAT, then MISSED the second BMP, hitting the IAT button with the TADS crosshair a bit below the BMP.  The second BMP didn't get tracked since I was off-target, but the mission proceeded as if I had targeted it properly and gotten a track. 

From there I targeted the second BMP with IAT (not missing the mark that time!) and continued on. The rest of mission went normally from there.

Very strange!  I attached the track (not sure why it is named "tempMission").

Thanks, @Lord Vader

Well, what I did was follow the instructions by the letter, as intended with these lessons and the mission always progresses for me.

Sometimes we miss the timing or proceed faster than the narrator. Just take your time and follow the "rhythm".

Yeah, I also approach training missions that way. I know how the triggers work, looking for a specific input or event.  I waited until the narrator was completely finished and still had that result. Pace was not the problem and I tried the mission multiple times.

But whatever glitchy thing was going on was somehow passed when my TADS was aimed a little low and didn't actually get the track
