[USER ERROR] M2000c main campaign mission 3 no comms

[kurtz667]

Hi, i cannot communicate with flightlead on this mission.

both red and green radios are on, red on channel 1.

Volume is set to max.

Mission 1 & 2 worked perfectly

 

Edit: Can a mod please move this topic to the campaign section? I can't delete it, since forum is still getting build. Thanks

Do you have the easy coms option activated ?

 

Have you at minimum switched your battery on ?

[kurtz667]

Yes, battery is on and easy comms is on. I have comms with the tower etc. Just not with flight lead, wich is scripted for the campaign. It breaks the mission because the flight lead wont even do a startup.

[myHelljumper]

Yes, it's indicated in a lot of places that the campaign does not work with the easy coms option, so you need to disable it.

[kurtz667]

I briefly checked it with no easy communication, after reading your first post without any luck. But i'll check again after i'm home from work. I'll attach a trk file if the problem still persists. Thanks

[kurtz667]

Still not working with easy comms off, i would attach trk file but its 13.5mb,

and i can only attach a file of max 5mb it seems.

[myHelljumper]

Are you tuning to the correct radio with the battery on ?

 

I think you need to press spacebar to trigger the dialog.

 

Did you read the briefing that is displayed before the mission start ?

[kurtz667]

Yup i've read the briefing and im sure its supposed to be red radio (uhf) chnl 1, and battery is on. By now i checked all the channels on both radios. I also saw a yt video of this mission working on 2.5.5. and he was also on red chnl 1. Spacebar didn't work either unfortunately. I think the mission just broke with an update, happend before in other campaigns. 

If you or somebody has the time to check this mission and see if its bugged or not, would be very helpful. No rush 

The single mission is located at c:\Program files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Missions\Campaigns\Caucasus - South Ossetia\Mission 03 FINAL.miz

(Or other hard drive letter) 

 

Cheers 

 

[myHelljumper]

Ok, I will try to test it.

 

Were you able to do the 2 first mission of the campaign without problems ?

TL;DR:

I took the time to test - my first attempt failed but second and subsequent tests all worked (5 tests in total). 

 

Detail:

Second (Successful) Attempt:

Battery ON, VHF and UHF radios on; auto radio check from player to "Chevy1-1" triggers, new Radio Item (F10) added - report when ready to taxi.

Start up, Alignment, chocks removed, etc. then F10 Radio Item "ready to taxi".

F10 radio item clears,

Both the L-39ZA Instructor and Chevy1-1 start up their aircraft

After the L-39 Instructor and pupil take off,

Chevy1-1 calls "rolling" and asks you to follow him but due to the poor weather, keep separation and use your radar to rejoin him at WP1.

 

It seemed like the scripted "push" to start the AI plane(s) moving, broke in my first test but I'm at a loss to explain why**.

 

** In the first test, I did note AI troops "wandering" near the taxiway but they weren't near the L-39's or runway and AFAIK they shouldn't "block" airport operations for the AI.

Thanks for the test, I don't think you have comms either, because chevy 1-1 should be talking about bad weather and the need to do an aerial refueling, before the report to taxi option. i get that F10 report option but hear only the player dialog

it should go like in this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ILPS_wmxY

As for the taxi push there's indeed something weird as well if i report ready for taxi immediately before full startup he rolls out. But after alignment and startup not anymore i found out, at least on my side. Might be time sensitive or something dunno

Thanks, yea first 2 mission no prob at all, was really enjoying this campaign so far. The IP constantly gives you new orders that divert you from flight plan, so having comms with them is essential. 

[myHelljumper]

Have you tried a repair ? Are you on OB or release ?

[kurtz667]

I recently did a repair, don't have any mods and i'm on OB. I might install the stable version or an early version just for this campaign if i find the hd space. 

[myHelljumper]

You can just try to switch your install to release, and test if it works then.

Yeah, I noticed that. My first attempt (that failed to trigger) was a long +12 minute startup. However two of my other tests were also +10 minute starts and Chevy1-1, etc. took-off as expected (at that point I quit out of the missions).

 

I'm testing in Open Beta 2.5.6.78125

Edited December 2, 2020 by Ramsay
Add DCS version

[kurtz667]

@RamsayAlright, but chevy 1-1 is not talking to you about the weather etc.. right before the F10 report to taxi? Just to confirm. 

 

[kurtz667]

I've just read some older topics in the campaign section, and apparently alot of missions are messed up due to broken triggers since 2.5.6.

So i'm gonna download a 2.5.5 version to play some campaigns. 

Thanks for the feedback! 

[kurtz667]

Mission works in 2.5.5.41371 stable/release build!

[tanr]

Are the specifics of missions broken in 2.5.6 already reported as bugs?  I can't easily downgrade but would like to go through the campaign.

[Neurus]

I'm in 2.5.6 and I have the exact same issue (I have easy comms off). I cannot hear the "lead" talk, only get my own responses and the "will report ready to taxi".

 

I did watch a YT video of someone doing the mission and I can confirm I do not hear any of that at all (well I've heard it *once* but then the Chevy1-1 never moved at all...)

I posted a thread here in Campaigns:

Info passed along to Mission creator. Will address if need be.

[baltic_dragon]

I’ll have a look and get back to you. 

[baltic_dragon]

@Neurus @kurtz667 I checked and it works - i.e. triggers are fine, but you need to have ground power for radios to work it seems (battery is not enough). I'll check with the team if it should be like this. Anyway, before you turn the radios on, ask ground crew for power and you will be fine.
