Mission 03 broken, -02 does not attack with guns.

We attacked the convoy, my missile hit the wrong truck but -2 hit the trailing truck fine. She's then supposed to go in and use guns on the rest, but instead she just circled in place forever. So I tried using guns and used up all my ammo.

Tacview attached.

Hey. We checked and everything works well there, must be a one-time glitch (possibly with wrong truck destroyed in the beginning making AI stupid). But could also be something on your end, including unofficial third party mods (they tend to break missions quite often - any aircraft like F-22, Superhornet etc). Let me know if it happens again, and just in case have a look at this instructions:

 

The No.1 Rule with DCS Campaigns... If you have ANY mod that is NOT purchased from the DCS Store, it will probably cause issues.
SRS and OpenKneeboard(Mostly VR users) seem to be ok, as we test these mission using both.
Make sure to remove any and all mods before flying campaigns. (Check out OVGME, I use it daily and it works well)

If you have no mods, or if removing all mods still does not fix the issue, take the following steps(Test after each step):
1) Delete fxo and metashaders folders in you saved games. Can get gummed up with old files.
2) Rename you DCS Saved Games folder, run DCS and let it create a new one. Close DCS and then just copy the Config folder from the old to the new so you don't lose your bindings at least.
(Some mods can write to places like your scripts folder in your saved games location as an example. Also seems to help sometimes even if you never run mods at all)
3) Do a full deep repair of DCS to clear up any unwanted stuff in your main game folder.

Some settings to check:
1) If you have easy comms enabled, disable it.
2) Under Gameplay otions, make sure the tick box on the bottom right for "No force from mission, use min" is NOT ticked.
3) Try disabling TacView under special options. It can cause issues, usually performance, but that can lead to bugs if your cores are overloaded/too busy and it misses a trigger point due to that.

I don't have any mods.

As it happens I tried again, got the right truck this time, and things proceeded as normal.

Glad to hear that. Hope there won't be any more hiccups as you move on!
