Tried playing 'Raid on Kismayo' on CMO but there is no way I an trigger the event of capturing the courier so the mission is finished.

Has anyone else gave it a try on new version of command?

I tried this one tonight on CMO but when I try to track the convoy it just goes around in circles. Waiting for it to offload its "cargo" but my helo just runs out of fuel and the game ends. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the game is buggered??

Logged for investigation.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.

I think it's at least partly due to DB issues: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 0&t=391873

Yes, I think you’re onto something there. It’s the exact problem that I seem to be having. The drone barely makes it to the scene and back. Therefore, you can’t track where the safe house is, among other issues.

Can confirm. I had to use the other helicopter for tracking. Also unloaded Marines don't trigger near safe house the special event of capturing the agent. And the special action for Ospreys for rescuing them also don't work.

The problem with fuel consumption is solved with DB version 499. However the scenario is not officially migrated to this DB version. You need to update the scenario to the latest DB version with the migration tool in editor mode.

BTW.: Do not play and save the scenario in editor mode for testing - like I did. This gonna screw it up.

::EDIT::
I've tried it but the terrorists jeep got stuck in outback.

Bangs head on keyboard...

I'll take a look at it later this week.

Either way will have a DB update for it (and the other official scenarios) in the next few days.

Quick question, is the vehicle convoy from the airfield to the safe house supposed to take 2 hrs. 47 mins.?

I don't remember the exact timing on it but it does take awhile.

Regarding the problem that marines are not able to capture the courier. The issue is in the wrong dbid in LUA script in the action US_MarinesAtSite. This line:
must be changed to:
Then in the trigger US_MarinesAtSite the Target subtype must be changed to Mobilee_Vehicle and Target class to Landed Detachement.

Then, when the marines are near the Safe House and the number of the enemy units is less than 2, the marines will capture the courier.

Not sure why there is a SAR special action (Search and Rescue), because the scenario ends with capturing the courier. Maybe I don't fully understand when this special action is useful. It's intended for the landed detachments or is there a possibility that pilots of the shot aircraft can survive and then can be rescued by this special action?

Can this thread be flagged as a bug?

Fixed version attached to this post. Will be included in a future update. Please let me know if there are anymore issues.

I've updated the scenario to DB 499 to fix the fuel issue with the MQ-8 reported in DB 498. I made the changes Artran posted below. I also took the opportunity to update the scenario to use some of the features of Cargo 2.0. I removed the USMC Inf Secs on the LHD and replaced them with actual Inf Plt (US Marine) units. Correspondingly I updated the required scripts.

Thank you for posting that.

The SAR special action is there in case one of your aircraft gets shot down and you need to pickup a downed pilot. Picking up downed pilots with the special action will return points, where as if you use the cargo pickup unit option you will lose out.

Ok, I tested the fixed scenario on Steam Beta version 1.05 (build 1315.1) and everything works great. Thank you!

Thanks for the clarification.
