DCS 2.5 Mission 12

Hi there. First, let me say the campaign is just awesome. Best one I've ever played so far (I already said that in other posts, just wanted to stress it even more :)).

Ayway, to the point. I've played mission 12 two times now, and it kind of got stuck both times for different reasons.

The first time, Claw started to do its thing and I got the call for intercepting the bandits. I manged to kill them both, but I think one of the phantoms was shot down. I got a new radio message telling me everything was OK, and to anchor again with Claw. I got there, started circling around Claw and...nothing else happened. I was monitoring both main and element channels. My wingman reported bingo and I just quit and restarted.

The second time, Fang started the SEAD strike. Everything was going OK. The last thing they reported was they took out a tunguska. And then, silence...Claw kept circling around WP3 forever. No more radio calls (again, I was monitoring both main and element channels).

Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe there's some kind of bug in 2.5?

Thanks for the kind words! I will have to check the mission, will probably be able to do so tomorrow. This one has a lot of triggers so something might got bugged (at least so it sounds). Will let you know!

Check it after your Red Flag homework, young man! :thumbup:

Hey, tested the mission. There was problem with F-117 targets, I've moved a few things around and now this is fine. As for Claw, they do stoically push towards the target even if they are swarmed by enemy missiles so I couldn't reproduce the first bug.

Ok, thanks for being so supportive and fast!

As for the Claw bug, I think they did their did their job fine; it was just that AFTER that, they kind of kept circling around waiting for something...maybe me? I don't know; I went back and rejoined with them, but they never resumed the mission.

To be honest, I'm not really sure they did their job; I know they started pushing towards their target, but don't remember hearing any calls about the result (I was just busy with the bandits, so I might have missed that).

Is there any link to download the fixed mission? Or maybe I should wait for an upcoming update.

Hey, you can grab the mission here. No need to stop now, you've almost finished the campaign!

Thank you so much! I was eagerly waiting for it :)

Hello, same problem with claw bombing the tunnel, they say "bombs away" and after that they keep turning in circles indefinitely.

Thanks for reporting, I'll have to check. There is a bug with waypoint switching, but it may be related to the bombs in zone trigger as well, should have it fixed tomorrow!

Hi !

also, briefing tell to go on green channel 3 but I think it's a mistake because all the mission is on channel 1

Thanks !

By the way (and maybe this should go in a different thread), it would’ve been nice to have the lat/long coordinates of the starting parking spot on the briefing.

I’d swear I saw them in a youtube video of a guy that was playing mission 11; in the briefing slide showing the parking spots marked for departure and arrival. But I can’t see them in my briefing.

I’m just about to finish de campaign, so it doesn’t really matter that much now. But it may come handy for future players.

Maybe they are there and I’m just blind (that wouldn’t be surprising :).

They are in the mission briefing PDF in the M2000C/Docs/Campaign folder (the coordinate of the starting point) and on the Kneeboard also I think

It's in the default M2000C kneeboard pages, not in the ones that comes with the campaign. Those pages are always there when you take a M2000C.

Edit from above snipe : They are available in the campaign specific pages as well as in the M2000C specific pages.

I removed the starting coordinates from custom kneeboards as they are available in the built - in ones.

The mission is updated and to be grabbed from the folder!

Ooooh my...I knew it could be just me. How stupid am I? Jeeeeesus...I even stepped throug all pages in the kneeboard and didn’t find it. (facepalm)

Sorry guys, and thanks for the eye opener.

I happens to all of us, fly safe :).

Downloaded and tried the latest version of the mission yesterday (file dated February 22nd), but Claw is still stuck somehow.

I get to the point where we take out the bandits; Zeus says we stay with Claw (which has already started the attack). I get back to them, and they keep circling around WP5. It seems they're doing their attack run; I see one of them dive, but the weapons are not released (?!).

I can clearly see previous runs were successful, as the tunnel entrace has some craters and quite a few vehicles smoking; but there are still 2 tanks there alive. It seems claw is trying to take them out but they can't...so they keep circling around and doing "something" to no effect.

I tried taking them out myself, got a few hits but the tanks are just too strong for my guns I guess.

There were only two of them left, by the way (Claw 4-1, and Claw 4-4); the bandits took two of them out before we could even get close enough. Maybe that's why they're stuck somehow?

The mission progression is not linked with the units on the ground being destroyed but just bombs hitting the target. In my tests Claw did drop their ordnance and then just moved ot next waypoint, so the behaviour you experienced is rather weird. You may be right that they are trying to engage remaining targets, which would mean there is a bug in ROE setting. I’ll play with it some more, thanks for reporting back ans your patience with this.

Hey Baltic, no problemo!

Keep it up man, you rock! F*ck#ng awesome campaign, and superp customer support.

Same here !

I will try to update it tonight guys!

*** UPDATE ***

OK, I've updated the triggers making sure that the game sees the bombs on Roki tunnel entrance as enough to fire flag 201, which tells Claw to stop orbiting (after the BDA).

All works fine on my end. I've also made Claw attack the Roki entrance itself and not the units next to it, which makes more sense I guess.. let me know if all is fine!

Just tried it and it worked like a charm this time.

Thank you Baltic!

Hi i seem to have the same issue....(the first one)

I am called to intercept mig31....they manage to hit some of the tornadoes before i and the wingman (which don't obey to orders) manage to hit both...

then the remaining tornado deploy its bombs and start to circling at the infinite (i arrived to bing and had to RTB)...

Any idea on what is wrong?

I am flying the campaign using release version without mods

Hey! No idea what is wrong. I tested the mission yesterday and all worked very well... you say you are on release, so not on Open Beta?

The tornado did bomb the target and after the air control told to rtb and me to stay close on the route back the Tornado started circling and i had not any more radio communication
