The "stock" lifeguard missions have been disabled, but there are some "down pilot" missions within RSRDC

How do you complete the downed aviator missions? I go to the icon, and see three smoke clouds. I approach each cloud and designate the aviator with the binoculars. I press the appropriate button and get a message saying that I have picked up survivors. I do this for each of the three smoke clouds. The clouds vanish after I pick up the pilot. But I never get credit for completing this mission.

Am I supposed to wait for a period of time in the vicinity? I waited for a week, just sitting on the icon until I got destroyed by repeated enemy air attacks while I was just waiting on the surface. Is there more downed pilots? Is there another air strike scheduled for later that I need to wait for? I cruised around the island and looked all over with the external cam and I don't see any more smoke clouds. What needs to be done to complete this mission? The mission briefings are usually pretty detailed, but I can't this one to complete.

Need date and location of your mission

I'm having the same problem. Date is August 1943, location is Toulogi (or something like that, sorry, I don't have the game open currently). It seems like there is an airbase on the island (keep seeing planes spawn from the middle of it), if that helps. I am getting bored of sailing around waiting for smoke...

lurker_hlb3,

My order are to pick up downed aviators near Choiseul Island in the Solomons. I departed Brisbane on Jan 27, 1943. I arrived on station Jan 31. I patrolled around until Feb 5 twice and Feb 7 once (I reloaded saved game and tried again in case I missed something the first time).

PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=DownPilots
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID94
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID285

Thanks.

It appears that I my have made the recover zone "to small" and even though you pick up the down pilots, SH4 doesn't think you are within the zone. I won't be able to patch this for a day or so because "real life" goings on. This is also a problem for the other 2 down pilot missions that is in RSRDC.

Lurker, you rock! Thanks for your quick response. Glad I could help you find a problem, and no hard feelings. I have much respect for you modders who do this for no fee. Keep up the good work, I love this mod!

thanks, Lurker! Just wanted to let you know that I actually completed that mission. The game finally generated more downed pilots, and after picking up two more, the mission completed.

Also wanted to say that I love the new campaign layers. I am encountering tons of unescorted tankers and freighters in the Celebes sea and Sulu sea around 1943, which, while seems crazy, is pretty accurate from what I have read about Japan in that time of the war. There was such a ship shortage at that time, they only escorted "high priority" convoys, if what I have read is correct. No wonder most of their merchant fleet was gone by the end of the war! These ships are easy pickings!

Thanks for the patch Lurker. I will try again today. I also really enjoy this mod.
