Mission 2 bugged

[baltic_dragon]

Hey,

Just wanted to inform those that are starting the campaign that the mission 2 is affected by a bug introduced in 1.55. It still can be completed but will be rather boring. ED is aware of the bug and it will be fixed but until that happens I'd suggest to wait with going through the campaign.

 

And for those curious what it affects (spoiler, don't read if you have not played):

 

 

The MANPAD shot is no longer recognised as a shot, hence the triggers won't work when player is attacked. That means you will just be required to fly a long and uneventful flight :)

Haha, good to know! ;)

 

When I first flew the mission and read the briefing, I thought it was going to take forever.

 

Here's to hoping the problem will be fixed soon, so that... well... the mission doesn't take forever. :D

[The Legman]

Confirmed, it was a long ass low level flight but no fun from the ground

[baltic_dragon]

Will be fixed with the nexr Caucasus patch, it has been fixed internally.

[AMEDooley]

I wish we still had the option to continue afterwards.

[baltic_dragon]

Interesting idea :) but it would just make for a long flight, that's all, unless I add some new VOs. Perhaps with 2.5 overhaul?

[The Legman]

Great campaign by the way

[baltic_dragon]

Thanks! Hope all the rest runs smoothly :)

OK, mission 2 is good to go now. But there are problems with M3 as well as missions 10 and 15 (IIRC - Leave no man behind)... Blackhawks don't land. Reported!

[BIGNEWY]

Correct M3 and blackhawks reported :)

We are in April 2018 and I think the bug is still up. Nothing happens after passing Wpt 5 or 6. And it gives a 60% mark at the end.

[baltic_dragon]

Again, it works fine on my end. But I will double check and get back to you. What date of the file for M02 do you have in your campaign folder? And just to check - you're playing on 2.5, right?

I just flew this in our most recent 2.5 patch and it worked for me as well. :dunno:

 

 

The MANPAD is in a small clearing at the top of a hill

AI is AI, sometimes the wingmen act weird.. not much that can be done about it by the mission designer.. try to spread the formation a little, also after take off it is good to make a circle or two around the airport to let the wingmen get in formation so that they don’t have to catch up.

 

MWS in A-10C is not omni - potent, it has blind spots and it won’t always detect the launch.

 

sorry to hear you had trouble!
