Help...can't find downed pilots

[SteveG75]

I am running RFB+RSRD+TMO Plot. All latest versions all patched up.

I get the mission to go up to the Solomons (Jan 1943) and pick up three pilots. I can't find anything. My crew can't spot a thing. I do get some unusual unknown land contacts (over 100nm away). Not sure if that is supposed to be last reported position of the pilots. Cruise in and look around. No smoke, nothing. Nothing on sonar.

:damn::damn::damn:

This has to be the most frustrating mission in the whole game. Any helpful TTP (Tactics, techniques, or procedures) would be appreciated.

When you get close to one of those contacts, issue an order of all engines STOP ?

You can't pick 'em up if you are moving?

Just a thought, not a solution.

sounds strange......no smoke from the flares....hmmmmm, are you in the right spot??

OK, they finally showed up. Departed Brisbane 17 Jan, got to area, no pilots. Sank a merchant, refuel, rearm at Tulagi. Go back to area Jan 29, find two pilots. Leave and come back on 1 Feb and find 4 more. Mission complete, I am out of here.

I won't even talk about how the pilots drift faster than a merchant cruises or that my crew is useless at a rescue.:damn:
