Can't get past 1st Campaign Mission!

Blacklight · 02-13-09, 10:31 PM

Has anyone posted a "Fixed" version of this mission ?

If not, I just tinkered around with the mission myself and moved the start areas for the Akula and the 688i a couple miles away from any of the random start areas for any of the AI ships in the scenario. It probably needs some serious playtesting to make sure that it works fine but so far, whenever I use either of the two subs, neither has been detected automaticly at mission start (so far... and I've run the mission at least 10 times for each sub to make sure, but I havn't played through the whole scenario with them yet). If there isn't a fixed version posted anywhere, I'll submit mine. If anyone wants to check it out themselves, to double check it, send me a PM. I can email out a copy.

So yesterday I decided to do the campaign, finally. Using the 688i I'm detected as soon as the mission starts, 9 times of out of 10. (Using LwAmi 3.09 btw) After several more tries I notice that my starting speed is 10 knots. 10 knots. Dunno if everyone else's install is like that or if mine is just special, but I went into mission editor and bumped my speed down to 3 knots. Cheating, yes, but I rationalize by telling myself that's the speed I would be going at anyways.

Anyways, yeah, just my quick fix. Now to actually finish the mission

The proper speed of the 688i at mission start is supposed to be 5 knots at 80 feet. The Akula has a start speed of 4 knots at 100 feet, and the Orion has a start speed of 210 knots at 2266 feet.

Just so you can check. I don't know how your start speed got messed up. Did you have a microphone plugged into your PC ? Perhaps you inadvertantly used the Voice Command feature to speed up ?

It seems to me that the easiest solution is to move the 688i and Akula random start areas more away from the random start areas of the other ships.

And if you try RA mod sometimes it would simply be impossible to finish certain scenario in campaign because you get detected right from the start.

Switching platform usually solve the issue.
