Task Force

Hi all,

I am having trouble with a task force option. We created a large task force, in fact the max allowed which was 29 or 30. We gave them 1 waypoint to move. We then flew the mission and had it analyzed. Now when we go back to the MP, it shows 1 mission in progress. It also shows the task force is still in it's original position. We have the mission time set at 1 hour. The mission last night only lasted about 30 minutes and then we closed the game and reported the mission.
My question is what do I need to do to move 1 large body of ground units in one mission? When it says a mission in progress, when will the mission finalize itself? Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Express,

That is not normal. Can you tell me the map you are using, the general lcoation of the task force and the Ground Movement settings. That should help me diagnose.

Cheers,

I'm away from home and don't have access to my notes. If I recall correctly, your first waypoint appears to occur after the 30 minute time so everything reverts to the last "completed" waypoint which in your case is the starting point. I believe this happens no matter what the setting (truncate) is in your DCS set-up.

I know I've had this problem in the past and resolved it by changing the eventlog end time to be the full hour.
