Cpt. Weber Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hey, thanks for your continuous effort of making DCS more interesting (I'm a big fan of your liveries). Now to the point: during mission 4 I was completely ignored by the "Hun". As it's a recon style mission, I didn't bother, quite the contrary, I assumed, it's good, he left me alone, as I can continue my mission. That's where the problem beginns. I realized something's wrong, because nothing happened, no further instructions. I started chasing a bandit for a short moment, but it wouldn't make sense - realistically I shouldn't make my stay on the other side of the Channel any longer than necessary. So I just continued a long, confusing flight along the old planned route. No calls from the Pipper, no instructions, nothing. I considered exiting but the mission is so long, I didn't want to lose the progress. In the end I just continued, thankfully. I just wanted to point out, this kind of situations are very frustrating. I didn't read the book, so I didn't know what "should" happen (I keep reading it after the mission). Similar things with triggers missing keep happening in many campaigns, so, slowly, the fear of missing triggers starts to kill the joy of experience. That said, keep up your good work and best regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hey, thanks for the report. There's a current DCS bug that makes the AI unable to spot the enemy at less than perfect lighting conditions. Even if you fly close formation on them. I reported to ED months ago, hoping for a fix.

_Spad_ Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I am currently re-flying this campaign and just finished mission 4. I experienced the same this as the above post - ignored by bandit, no radar calls. For whatever reason I also failed the mission??? I took off, followed the flight plan and then landed without issue, so I'm not sure why I failed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such low light conditions, they can't see. I can't do anything about it in the mission editor, it's for ED to fix. HOWEVER: The mission success is not tied to killing or meeting the bandit. As long as you cross the channel, reach 'Able' (hear the controller call you) then RTB, it should be successful. I just checked the triggers. If you did not hear the controller, that means you wondered off route. To 'skip' the mission just load it up, sit there on the ground for 10 minutes (use time acceleration!!!) then exit. I'm going to drop a reminder to ED about this AI vision bug. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no problem, I just edited my logbook.lua file to pass the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 That's also a good solution. I just made a few more tracks and sent it to ED for evaluation. I managed to fly in close formation with an enemy AI in sunrise for almost a minute before being noticed Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
