Mission failure

[vampir0104]

So, it seems that even when I complete the missions, even if I meet the objectives *The aircraft I was escorting gets back ok, my wingmen get back ok, I land successfully* the mission always reports back as failed.   What criteria is missed, and is there something with how I exit the mission that could be the problem?

On a mission in particular?

[vampir0104]

Yes.   I was running the original Adler Tag Campaign.   The first two missions I did what was asked, and returned.

I guess we all have the same issue. 
what is not asked is to intercept the first flight at mid-channel before they intercept your friends.

if you do what is asked to complet, you’re too far away to comply.

That’s it

Have a look at the script .cs file for the mission and find the section 'private void checkLanded'. Here you will find the logic to battle success or failure e.g.:

 

    private void checkLanded(AiAircraft aircraft)
    {
        if (GamePlay.gpPlayer().Place() == aircraft)
        {
            if (airc1.Person(0) != null && !(airc1.Person(0).IsAlive()))
            {
                Campaign.battleSuccess = false;
                HUDMessgeTo("You've failed the main objective!");
                Timeout(10.0, () =>
                {
                    GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Press ESC to end mission!");
                });
            }
            else if (airc1.Person(0) != null && airc1.Person(0).IsAlive())
            {
                Campaign.battleSuccess = true;
                
                isComplete = true;
                score += 100;              
                
                HUDMessgeTo("Main objective completed!");
                Timeout(10.0, () =>
                {
                    GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Press ESC to end mission!");                    
                });
            }
        }
    }

In this case, if airc1 exists and is alive then you succeed. Search the rest of the code and you will find which aircraft is airc1.
