Hi, whenever I start this scenario, it starts out with the map error "cannot connect to the positioning system". If I choose to continue, the location and time text appear but then the game is stuck just staring at scenery. Nothing happens. Is the game loading units or something

@Mider_Lee
I did it too
I did not load Drongo's Map population I just installed it

Is this a "play and done" mission or does it spawn enemies infinitely ?
it says each time you load , different missions. Not every time a mission and assigned its different

Having the same issue as Cat enemies are invisible while in an aircraft and if you look at the in zeus they are set to not display the model for some reason. If you land and get it reverts to showing the model but as soon as you get back into your aircraft the show model gets unchecked again.

can progress be saved?

I can't open it and show this :" steam __cur_sp.Altis mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/ltem8.type : Vehicle class dmp_Core no longer exists".how to fix it?

excuse me why does your graphics look so good? and overall lightinging is different?

Yeh the last 4 official game updates have broken parts of my missions like no other updates ever have. I just don't have the time right now to jump in and fix. Will private my whole WS until I have time to sort it all out.

Just tried the livonia HAWKS mission and it works just fine, no invisible enemies

Just checked with only the requierd mod and the "task" enemies are still invisible for me

The mod I use are: CH View Distance, Drogos map Population, CBA_3, Drongos Command Enhancment and Drongos Air Operations

The enemies that are generated for the "tasks" are invisible for me. I had to go into Zeus to find them, Idk why, maybe it is the mod I have on that are interfering

That is such strange behaviour! lol only in arma.
To be fair might not even be a mod update, the last 4 official game updates have broken parts of my missions like no other updates ever have. All I've done this year in arma3 is fix missions that were 100% fine before BI updates.
It's getting tiring.

It could be my respawn on deck script but I don't see why it would lock players out of vehicles.
Of course BI gave us a Carrier ship, but no actual way to spawn on it without falling right through the deck floor LOL. So I've got a little script to respawn on a custom Zaxis. Again I don't see how that could lock players out but who bloody knows.
I'll have a look as soon as I have arma trouble shooting time.
Cheers everyone

sure, thank you for reply. In case you have time in future to debug. To replicate the issue its really basic. I restart game. Get into plane crash at some point. My character is respawned at the boat and plane too. Then when i try to hop into the same plane, i approach the ladder and I see "inventory" icon which open inventory - other planes until crashed work fine. After scenario restart it's steering wheel again and works as expected - I can get into plane.

I don't have time to troubleshoot and update arma missions atm unfortunately. Sounds like a mod update may have caused that.
Will have a look at it when I have more time.

hey, i have same problem like CAT378, When i die and respawn i cannot enter plane that was lost and got respawned

getting error for Vehicle Class dmp_Core no longer exists it happens for every mod. pls help

I'm fine with civ punishment as a toggle, it's just rough if you're not too accurate. My teammate managed to get declared a hostile after one pass, and the carrier wasted him on return, which was a bit harsh. I -think- you can add map options in the lobby screen somehow, but it's beyond me. Otherwise pretty fantastic, even if targets are hard to find lately. Great work mate.

Yeh I'll have to do another update pass as soon as I have time, and see what the heck is going on with it now. And yes I'll turn off civ punishment in the process.

Been getting the locked out of jets problem too; playing with the req drongo mod and the mighty gau-8 avenger, nothing else. Also, would it be an option to disable civilian punishment? I understand the idea, but arma's physics are not precision

I am playing with some quality of life mods, so they might be messing it up. Though it is not a big issue as I can just enter Zeus to spawn a new aircraft.

@Cat378 no idea mate I've never had that occur. All players and vehicles respawn at their place of origin and that's it. There's no locks or activation.

@TheSparta make sure your weapon is lowered when approaching the screens.

Hey, I have a small problem with the H A W K S missions. When I die and respawn I cannot enter the aircraft that I died in and I do not understand how to "activate" the aircraft again.

@VedKay i can't open anything at these:

judging by those images on those screens i should be getting options to repair, refuel and rearm, but nothing shows up when i scroll

Update v2.1
- An issue appeared where tasks will keep switching between themselves. A bit annoying when tracking a certain task. Temporary workaround is to chain tasks one by one for now, instead of all your tasks appearing at once.
I will continue to investigate the issue and update back to all tasks assigning at the start. 

Yes. It seems to be a good workaround.

@PK_Spartan yeh I've noticed too, it keeps switching between missions. I haven't been able to sort that out as it's something within Drongos Map pop.
Only thing I could do as a quick fix would be to assign only one mission at a time, instead of them all at the start.

Hi. How can I disable auto-assigning missions? I can't complete missions because they keep changing before I get to the mission's location. Nice scenario btw.

New HAWKS mission in Livonia
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943010237

Update v1.8
- Western Sahara DLC was accidentally left active when I updated this mission, causing an OPFOR Van to acquire Sahara DLC properties, which in turn added an unwanted dependency to the mission. This has been resolved.
- If any issues persist on your side, please simply un-sub and re-sub to this mission. Doing so will clear any cached errors.

My apologies for the mess up, I had just released a new HAWKS mission in Western Sahara, and forgot to deactivate the cDLC when I switched back to updating this mission and the Bala Murghab one

Oh yeh I forgot they released that mod to the workshop . Nevertheless yeh definitely a mistake on my part, must’ve had Sahara dlc active when I updated this mission and something snuck in. I’ll have it fixed and updated within the hour!

Thanks dude! VR6 is life hehe

@VedKay, no dramas. Thanks for the scenario. I was able to use a non-owner DLC sahara mod to bypass the hiccup. Also nice Golf ;)

Oh shit no that’s not normal something must’ve snuck in during the update. I’ll sort that out asap.

FYI I couldn't play this scenario because I don't own the sahara DLC. It tells me I'm missing a vehicle. Is this normal?

Update v1.6
- Slightly reduced the AA chances across the board, vehicular, static and infantry.
- Changed the description for better continuity with other HAWKS missions and the way they appear in your lobbies. This mission will now be found under "H A W K S  | Dynamic Air Ops | Altis".
- If any issues arise, simply un-sub and re-sub to this mission on the Workshop.

@Foehammer oh damn... maybe the sling and ropes update BI did a few months ago messed something up. When I have some time I'll jump in and see what's going on.
Cheers for the feedback

Amazing scenario, need help with the deliver tasks, though. The crates seem glued to the ground and snap the sling when you try to lift them with the Huron

Too easy, not a problem mate glad you enjoyed it

okay cool i think it was the weapons that were preventing me from noticing them. Great mission and thanks for answering my question

@HurtCobain pylon editors are in the small tents filled with computers (as pictured in #7 gallery image) There are two tents on the carrier near their respective aircrafts.
Also please remember to have you weapons low to access the terminals.

Where are the pylon or how do i change my aircraft loadout I couldnt seem to have find it on my first playthrough

@Karpo666
It's set to 4km for performance, had it on 7km originally but was getting complaints of FPS drops. So you'll have to use a mod like Dynamic View Distance or Drongos Command Enhancement to change your view distance on the go.
Dynamic View Distance increases the view distance as you increase in altitude and is a very good solution for air ops. You set it once in options, and from then on it just does it's own thing.
DCE has a tablet interface with a button to increase/decrease view distance by 1km increments, but this has to be done each time you start the mission.

Hey, just another question, is there any way to increase view distance longer than 4km? I personally feel "stuck" with this setting, thanks for the help!

No, the Zeus module is already in the mission.
When you local host the mission to play it, you are admin, which will allow you to access Zeus.

@vedkay as in moving the mission into an editable folder, and then placing the module for it?

@Gill, I just checked there is indeed Zeus. So you can drag n drop any other air assets from other mods.
You have to be #adminLogged to access it, which is the machine that's hosting the mission, even if hosting it solo.

@Manzana mate look on the right hand side of the page under "required items".

I think this would be a lot more enjoyable if you were able to access zeus fully or spawn in modded aircraft to use. Looks fun.
