M07 - Psycho goes swimming

[speed-of-heat]

As we arrive at the training area , i call to orbit using IR , and then Psycho pull tight over me , almost reverses her heading and then eventually starts to come back and performs an unnatural sea interface manoeuvre with her hornet...  

[speed-of-heat]

so removing vaicom seems to "fix" this, but then i get some very odd behaviour later on where it doesn't recognise me switching to Marshal and just leaves F10 on the screen 

[speed-of-heat]

hmmm , so i replayed this for reasons without vaicom loaded ... and there seem to be two code paths , one for left hand turn and a separate one for right hand turn, the right hand turn seems to crash ...

LOL always something. But yeah, Viacom does create problems for missions for some reason.

I am having a chat to Pene about this one because at least for me it is easily replicable, perhaps he can find something to fix (fingers crossed)

I know I've said it before, but I've never had any issues, though others have. So I'm positive this is fixable.

i wonder what the delta is ...

Hello,

 

got the exact same problem right now with this mission.
First try, Right hand turn, Psycho goes ballistic and dive into the sea before releasing smoke bomb.

Second try, Left hand turn, exact same problem.

Help !

(again, I have no unofficial add-on, no waicom, no voice attack).

Tried a third time today, and again, Psycho dive into the water before releasing the smoke bomb.

Could not continue the mission 

[Osirith]

Fifth try and mission succeeded  (reminder : other tries were canceled due to bugs/dead end encountered during scenario, probably some DCS patch broke something)

 

- Was able to avoid Psycho going submarine by flying 6-8000 feet around WP1 instead of 15000.

- Psycho is doing the first two Mk20 bombings. It takes forever for her to reach the correct alt/bearing but she finally make her first bomb run, without releasing any bomb, then doing the second run, same result (no drop).

- Then she anchor at altitude, waiting for my attack. 

- I am doing my first Cluster Bomb attack run on the smoke spot. After the attack, I receive a Strike (or Knight ?) call asking our flight to intercept bogeys going towards Mother.

- Afterwards, rest of mission went ok, we did all steps and land on Mother successfully.

Oh well, was nice after all, except those unsuccessful tries almost killed me (boring).

On to next mission.

Hi,

I have managed to solve this problem.

Backup and then Open
"C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Export.lua"

Comment out all plugins that you use (--)

Here you can see I use:
TacView, Simple Radio and Data Transfer Cartridge. I commented out all three lines and Psycho started behaving.

local wwtlfs=require('lfs')
dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua')

--local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua')
--pcall(function() local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[Mods\Services\DCS-SRS\Scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]]); end,nil)
--local DCSDTClfs=require('lfs'); dofile(DCSDTClfs.writedir()..'Scripts/DCSDTC.lua')

Just be very patient with Psycho when she says "Good Smoke", she takes a while to drop the two bombs.

Tip:
I have a shortcut on my desktop for this lua file, so I can easily uncomment / comment the plugins as desired.
