Well, along with everything else going on in CoD at the moment I look on the campaign as an extension of beta testing because, lets face it, that's what we're doing when we fly the patches.

Its a shame that the bombers didn't spawn (we think) and yes its frustrating but FMB problems are as much a beta test as anything else. So we'll be sticking with it.

We deliberately stayed out of the way of the 109s because that wasn't our job and its suicidal anyway.

At least my wingman got plenty of formation practice

Sorry you feel that way Nitrous.


From here:

It seems the Stuka did not spawn. I checked the triggers, actions, script spawn box, speed, fuel, regiment numbers, and there was nothing wrong.

I had Vogler check the script for the spawn AI script which was present. Right now there is no explination.

We are currently running this mission again (unchanged) to see if they still do not spawn. We have noticed sometimes that the same mission can run flawlessly and when run another time is full of errors.

I cant see ths being a patch version as other online servers are still AI spawning succesfully.

To be continued.


EDITED/UPDATED:


We just reran the mission with no change and all the Stuka spawned.....

????

They only thing we can think of and it is only a guess that the console "hung" instead of closing properly and therefore did not spawn the aircraft. However with this new patch we just dont know. We just cannot pin point the problem.



So, if you guys want the mission rerunning on this comming sunday please vote here:

I did not mean that its a failure of the mission builders. The mission was fine for me, just the slideshow and the crappy RAF FM.

My frustration is with the game and 1C, not the campaign players or mission builders, your all great guys.

18 months after its release and the enjoyment has just got less and less as time goes on.

Sorry if it felt i was attacking the mission builders.

It was a shame our glorious 56 squadron didn't encounter any bombers...an hour plus patrolling, oh what is it called again? Oh yes, Selsey Bill...was still time well spent honing my formation flying skills, winging a squadron CO who was himself busy coordinating the rest of the squad. No action this sortie, which is realistic as I'm sure there were sorties during the real BOB where they came back empty handed.

I'm just happy to be able to fly without a gme crash or indeed crashing into a building on landing....cough!

See you all next Sunday and thanks to the mission designers for all their hard work.

Nitrous, I am close to your POV tbh mate, maybe we'll have to dig out 1946 and run something for the squadron on another night of the week. Maybe there's a desert co-op online somewhere for HSFX we can grab a go at.
