sev84 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Hello, I am really enjoying this campaign for learning. I picked up a lot about navigating with the TACAN and managing fuel. Unfortunately when I got to the first BFM section when the bandit spawns, I don't think its the correct location. They spawn west of India as I am orbiting the waypoint and they are then burning into the west direction away from me and I cant catch them. Comparing it to videos online I can tell this is not the intended behavior. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong to cause a bad spawn or if there is currently an issue in the campaign. This happens with the F-5E in the novice campaign and also the F-5E and F-4E aces in the practice missions. I was on a previous version but retested on the just released 2.9.16.10973 version and the issue is still there.
Sabre-TLA Posted Monday at 07:59 PM Posted Monday at 07:59 PM (edited) Thanks for reporting the issue. They should definitely be spawning to the east of India not west. It could be a change to the AI behavior (I know ED has been making lots of changes to the AI as the other campaign developers have been complaining about it). I'll do some testing and see if I can replicate the issue. Our triggers are pretty simple and the AI should seek out the player and not abandon the engagement. I'll report back after we have a chance to review what is going on. Update - You didn't indicate if this was in the FC version of the campaign or not. We checked both versions of BFM 02 which is the engagement with the F-4Es and we found that they are setup to spawn east of India. We tested the practice missions and they worked as expected. If it happens again please save the .trk file and send it to us and we can take a look. Edited Monday at 08:45 PM by Sabre-TLA 1 MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
sev84 Posted Friday at 07:16 PM Author Posted Friday at 07:16 PM Thank you for your reply and taking a look! This is actually shows my massive lack of experience/knowledge. It does work. What happened when the engagement starts the it's AWACS that spawns west of India and shows up on my RWR. So thinking that was the bandit I was unwittingly running from the fight before the F4 could lock me and I never saw it on the RWR . So sorry, my mistake. 1
