Effort Appriciated Elphaba, But I've moved on in the campaign since.
If Fleet Command can't make out a damn missle firing from my photo's, I'm not gonna lose any damn sleep over it!
But I'll try your fix in future campaigns - right now I'm using the 'T' key alot....
Which is something I would recommend for Novices - as it gets you use to SC proceedures - and the 'feel' of how the sim works.
You can then go back and try it - without the 'T' key, as no replay is ever the same -
ships change location etc.
Just a couple of points Elphaba, if you will...
Its your first mod/mission I know - but thats one more than me - so....
What, if anything, did you discover was wrong with the stock scenario programming..?
In your scenario, you state that you have to approach the Udaloy to within a few hundred yards - and DON'T RAISE ANYTHING.
The Stock mission requires that you DO RAISE at least the periscope - possibly the radio Antenna - and that your approach range can be within 3 nautical miles.
My feeling is that those mission parameters should be resolvable, so for me it wouldn't be a fix, but different parameters.
I wonder why you didn't stick exactly to the Mission brief?
Is there some detection issues or programming conflicts with the periscope raised and having to be within a few hundred yards?
It now sounds to me that the stock mission has dodgy programming and wasn't tested properly - and that some of the triggers are unrealistic for the alert state of the mission - and possibly dodgy execution logic aswell.
I can't understand, how within the stock mission, the Udaloy can conduct the missle test - I can observe and photograph - but the sim cannot detect that I have fulfilled those parameters.
If I have been detected - the mission status should indicate that - as it does on other missions - and the Udaloy should really, really delay the test for...well...a week or two. At least until a snooping Yank sub has been well flushed.
Ausraider.
