Mission 3 - F16 Leader stuck on the runway

[mla306]

I'm pretty sure this is an ED issue.  I played the map before the last update with no issues..and failed (sigh).  I updated DCS yesterday and tried mission 3 again today.  I get to the runway and ask for clearance to takeoff but there is an F16 on the runway (guessing flight lead) and he just sits there and never takes off.  I am really loving this campaign, I'm an F18 guy and just learning the F16 and in the first 2 missions have already learned a great deal.  The immersion level and the coordination with the other flight members is excellent.  I flew red flag first which was an excellent introduction to the F16 and I would highly recommend you fly that campaign before this one.  This campaign will take your skillset to the next level!!

 

Great Job.

Hi mla306,

I also have exactly the same problem as you, and already posted this up in a previous post, so this does seem to be an issue with the updates to the Syria map. @ChillNG, aka Ground Pounder Sims, is aware of this issue and is looking into it. I'm sure @ChillNG will update us once this has been resolved.

Hi, thanks glad you've enjoyed up to now! As @Flyboy_Steve has correctly said, this has been caused by an update to the Syria map.  Am fixing internally this weekend and will be rolled out to you all asap on the next hot fix/campaign patch.

Yeah same issue here, been trying not to suck and finally got what I think is a idea of what I am supposed to do and wnet to play and no one is moving off the run way. When I look on map to see, the aircraft doesn't even show up on the map.

@mla306 All fixed in the latest patch, apologies once again we had to go through this.
