Campaign Mission 3 - "Photo Op" Sub-task Bug

[Psyrixx]

Hello! I was playing Campaign Mission 3 (and streaming it at the same time) and there's a point when the reporter you are transporting says she wants to get closer to take a picture of the Mi-24 helicopters.

Mission Time: 12m 15s

 

While I was able to get (what I felt was) pretty damned close to them at a few points during the flight, eventually the Captain Benito yells at me for making him look bad for not getting close enough for the reporter to take a good picture.

Mission Time: 28m (and by 29m I'm practically right on top of them again... so I figure I failed the sub-task and just continue on my way)

 

So I continue the mission, break off from the Mi-24's, head South West and get fired on by rebels, then continue to Senaki-Kolkhi to drop off the reporters at their Yak-40, then fly back to Kutasi and start my landing.

 

There's an Mi-24 sitting on one of the helipads near my approach and as I pass him to land, I got:

Mission Time: 1h 7m

Maybe there should be a flag trigger to keep note of the fact that I failed the picture taking sub-task and so the voice message shouldn't trigger at the end of the mission. ;) Also, I thought at a few points during the flight I was at least a bit closer to the airborne Mi-24's than the one I passed while coming in for a landing, so maybe the detection radius should be a bit larger to succeed that sub-task?

 

I was constantly flying behind the lead Mi-24 and right up next to the trailing helicopter, so maybe the trigger is only detected on the lead? Perhaps it should apply to either helicopter.

 

:D

 

Anyways, I figured I would point this out to you since it didn't seem like normal mission behavior to me. The videos will be a quick way to see the unintended behavior and I've included the .trk if you want to take a look at specifics. I've also included the approximate times in the mission that the strange behavior occurs (based on the video time stamps) so that you can narrow down when in the track to pay attention.

 

Here is a link to the .trk, I think it's too big to upload to the forum:

Managed to get the photo by flying in between the two helicopters, it only took a split second.
