GLUTIUS MAXIMUS Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I am trying to complete The Enemy Within, mission 15 - Leave No Man Behind, I do everything it says and I go to extract the downed pilot but he never gets into the chopper so the mission never completes and I cant move on. anyone else have this problem?

kylekatarn720 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 IIRC thats the downed f16 pilot right? You need to destroy a vehicle group close to him and then afterwards an infantry group. After you take out those, chopper comes and rescues him. Did you destroy those groups? Edit: nevermind what i said was from the Opf not enemy within.

baltic_dragon Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hey! You first have to contact him using the F-10 radio menu (ask him some questions and find the flare), destroy two incoming enemy groups and only then you should get a new F-10 option to tell the helo to land.

KamiraHusky Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I actually had a similar problem but I had taken out the enemies, told the helo to land, watched as it did and then circled for 20mins watching the pilot stand there like a lemon.

You should read the post before yours. I believe it's his campaign. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazAce Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Aww I love that mission... as a matter of fact I loved em all! And yep BD ( all mighty creator) is right, take out the two groups after you see the flare and make contact. you'll nail it! TEW is dollar for dollar the best value campaign around! I'm prob gunna fly it again!

baltic_dragon Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It is possible that there is a bug with infantry moving / obeying orders introduced in 1.5.7 - had seen some similar problems in other missions I was testing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-tk Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I played through before the latest update, I'll run through tonight/tommorrow and see if it's a bug, unless your already checking it out on your end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Please do check, I could only do a simple test on my laptop as I still will be away from my gaming rig for 2 weeks. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you completely ahniliate all the ground targets and anything else red, leave nothing behind. I completed it with no probs. :: 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K :: Asus ROG Strix Z790-A mobo :: Asus Tuff Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti :: NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB AIO white cooler :: G Skill Trident Z Royals DDR4 4x16GB = 64GB :: WD Black SN 850X NVMe SSD 2TB M.2 (C Drive) :: Samsung 860 Pro 2TB SATA (D Drive) :: Corsair Crystal 680X White Case :: Asus XG349C 34" Curve G-Sync 180Hz 3440x1440 Mon :: Corsair 850W PSU :: Virpil Constellation Alpha-R Stick with VPC WarBRD Base :: Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle :: 3 x CubeSim ext mini screens with TM Cougar MFD Bezels :: Asus ROG Pugio 503 Gaming Mouse & Razer BlackWidow mech kb :: TrackIR 5 Pro & Cap Clip :: Win 11 64 Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLUTIUS MAXIMUS Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Make sure you completely ahniliate all the ground targets and anything else red, leave nothing behind. I completed it with no probs. got back on DCS after several months tried this campaign mission again still the same thing the target never gets into the chopper, I cleared every red target before calling in the chopper, im playing in VR not sure if that matters and is causing some glitch, can some please help.

Yurgon Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 got back on DCS after several months tried this campaign mission again still the same thing the target never gets into the chopper, I cleared every red target before calling in the chopper, im playing in VR not sure if that matters and is causing some glitch, can some please help. These days the entire campaign is being reworked and tested for compatibility with 2.5. I've had some issues with this mission as well, but I will definitely keep a special eye open for the problems you described when I get to testing it. With 2.5 hopefully not too far away, it makes sense to wait for the new version. TEW campaign will work better in that version than in the old one. And the update (new terrain engine) will be free. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I am pretty sure I updated it, will try to push it for this Friday though as Yurgon says I focus mostly on 2.5 version now - I’d strongly recommend to wait until it is out!

GLUTIUS MAXIMUS Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 finally tried this mission after updating, and now the chopper doesn't land to rescue the downed pilot it just hovers above the landing zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It is fixed internally (there was a weird bug with the helo), should be working OK after the next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLUTIUS MAXIMUS Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 so i updated today and tried to do the mission 3 times, but nothing worked, the radio coms only worked for the ATC and wingman, I could never contact the ground units or the downed pilot, the enemy trucks never moved, had no way to call in the chopper.

baltic_dragon Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hm... I will check with the newest Open Beta, I am sure it worked before that (spent wuite a long time on this one). I know this is frustrating - teust me, for me as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 OK, I did check. There were a few things wrong with the mission for some reason - Colt 2-1 started in the air but lower than the mountains and got smashed in the first seconds. Also one of the trigger zone names was wrong and you didn't have an option to contact Colt 2-2. Finally, the helo refused to land- this one is on ED I think, but I built a workaround into the mission. Let me know if it works, submitting it to ED and adding it temporarily here to download. Let me know if it works finally & sorry for the problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyFire11 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I checked this mission, helicopter took colt-2, but overlord didnt say "RTB" and mission didnt complete when I landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
