sirrah Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) First of all, thanks Baltic Dragon, for making this campaign! :thumbup: Possible spoilers ahead, for those that didn't fly mission 2 yet The convoy didn't start moving again after I did the show of force over the civilian truck. I did get the radio message that "it worked, the truck is moving away", but nor the civilian truck nor the convoy started moving. Waited for approximately 10 mins, flying in orbit over the area and tried following the exact waypoints, but it didn't help. I even tried killing the civilian truck with my guns, still the convoy didn't move. Kinda frustrated, I just RTB'd then. Bit of a bummer after a great fun 1,5 hour mission :( Unfortunately the campaign also didn't continue, which requires me to fly mission 2 again. Although I liked the mission, doing the ~1 hour orbit flight over this convoy again (this time without surprises), would be a bit too boring for me... So... as with all DLC campaigns I played so far, I'll have to now go over to fly the campaign as single missions :doh: Not a sneer to you Baltic Dragon, just a little disappointed about the DCS logics that seem to fail yet again.. ED should really improve some of the AI or ME options.. Too much and too often things go wrong now. Even in paid dlc campaigns!

baltic_dragon Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks for the report and sorry to hear about the trouble. Likely something got borked with one of the updates, I will check it and submit the fix ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirrah Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thank you for the quick respond Just an idea: Maybe you could consider adding a radio F10 command to instantly complete a mission (perhaps only available the first minute after mission initiation). This way, if anything got broken, people still have a chance to enhance to the next mission and stay in campaign mode. Anyways.. Keep up the good work sir! :thumbup: System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixRising Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 You can edit your logbook.lua to manually advance a campaign if you have a game breaking bug and want to try the next mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baltic_dragon Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey sirrah, I just checked the mission and couldn't reproduce your problem, probably a one-time bug with an AI unit from the convoy stopping at some unfortunate spot... Everything worked OK on my try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstojek Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just got exactly the same bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hmm... couldn't reproduce, but I'll see if I can do something, like change the spot where the convoy stops (away from the bridge). Sorry to hear about the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstojek Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 On the second try it worked ok, so it looks like intermittent bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickravcov Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hello. I've got the same problem with this mission: after "show of force" convoy didn't start moving. I have a track of this mission. I can send it to you, if you want. On the second try everything worked fine. I don't know if this is correct, but the truck didn't drive away. It was standing near the crossroad. Convoy just went near by not paying any attention. Anyway - awesome campaign! Thank you for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The ground units AI is doing a lot of crazy things now in 2.5.6... let’s assume the driver got scared and ran away ;) I noticed that since last update AI ground unit told to switch waypoint sometimes will start making corcles and then stop...

baltic_dragon Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I cannot reproduce this so my guess is these things happen when convoy stops in a specific spot.. glad it moved on though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panph90 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 i had same issue here today. Trying for the second time just now.. But maybe i got wrong because i shot down the truck, after the explosion the convoy didnt move... I'll try not to use deadly force :) ___________________________________ DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta - F-18C, F-14B, F-16C, Av-8b, A-10C, Uh-1h, SA-342, Mi-8MTV2, KA-50 Modules Persian Gulf Map, Nevada Training Map ALIENWARE AREA-51 INTEL Intel I9-9940X - Nvidia 2080Ti 11Gb - 32GB RAM - 4TB SSD Oculus Rift S - FULL VIRPIL SETUP: T50CM2 throttle, T50cm2 Base and Grip, ACE2 Rudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panph90 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yeah, that was a clear breach of ROE :) let me know how it goes on second try. everything ok with the second try. The time to complete the mission is not correct... Briefing says about 1h10min, i took almost 2 hrs to complete :lol: I told my wife i should have been away for 1hr.. she was complained :) ___________________________________ DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta - F-18C, F-14B, F-16C, Av-8b, A-10C, Uh-1h, SA-342, Mi-8MTV2, KA-50 Modules Persian Gulf Map, Nevada Training Map ALIENWARE AREA-51 INTEL Intel I9-9940X - Nvidia 2080Ti 11Gb - 32GB RAM - 4TB SSD Oculus Rift S - FULL VIRPIL SETUP: T50CM2 throttle, T50cm2 Base and Grip, ACE2 Rudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxter737 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello. So I tried to fly this mission tonight on open beta. I also experienced the convoy getting stuck on the bridge, over the 3rd river. The suspicious vehicle was near by and just sitting there. I flew past it very low and the convoy said “looks like it worked, He is leaving” something like that. But the truck stayed there and the convoy didn’t move. I fast foreword the mission for 10 minutes and nothing. So out of frustration, I blew the truck up with a GBU, still nothing. Then I cannon strafed my own convoy. I was impressed I took the whole convoy out in one pass lmao. Not sure if I want to attempt this again with all the time invested to that point.

baltic_dragon Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Well I am sorry to hear that. This one is completely out of my hands, we will need for ED to fix this.. the only thing I can do is to try and make the convoy shorter, perhaps that will increase its odds of performing this super difficult task of crossing the bridge... My advice at this stage would be to play on Stable until the AI pathfinding issues are solved. I will also add F10 option to the mission which will allow you to pass it and continue with the campaign if you encounter a bug like this as a temporary mesure. Apologies for the trouble.

baltic_dragon Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hey all, I've tried this mission and convoy indeed gets stuck, but in the first bridge. I am adding a temporary trigger that allows you to skip the mission (with 100 score) until this is sorted - I am sure ED will straighten out the ground units AI soon!

cuervo111 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Same here! Only weird thing I can think I did was that my first pass was probably not low enough and I didn't drop any flares. On my 2nd pass I got the voice over saying it worked but truck stayed at the same place and the convoy didn't move. Something to do with timing maybe?

cuervo111 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks I will check. Used to work on the previous one.. Thanks! Just another data point: I just tried the mission again and they got stuck again, but this time in the previous event, the one about the red brick building north of the smoking chimney. One thing I noticed is that they were all slightly off the road, the front vehicle was very very close to the military vehicle stationed there, and the trailing vehicle was turning the wheels like trying to get around but not actually moving. These path finding bugs have to be one of the most annoying in the current beta. But the current stable is pretty much unplayable because wingmen run into each other when taxiing. I really hope ED fixes this stuff soon. The campaign looks amazing so far!

alacran Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I had the same problem. Convoy stuck after "flaring" over truck in mission 3. I heard the message saying it worked, but convoy didn't move. I don't know if this can be the problem: I realized later that I used chaff and not flares. I repeated the mission using flares, and it worked and I could finish It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
