Photo Recce Misiiion Sh4 1.5+TMO | Forums

Just started a new career and given a photo mission, anyway got there took my snaps and took my snaps and again infact probably about 50-60 shots, mission incomplete. Always completed this with np before, any ideas guys.

Where was the location of the photo mission? Some of the photo recon missions, like Dailen, are FUBAR and you can't complete them. One of these days, when I have a lot of spare time on my hands, I plan on checking them one by one to fix the problems. Until then, they just can't be completed.

I had the same problem with this mission. Finally I took the 2 photos that were available in the harbor, then I went offshore into deeper water and waited for the next available contact. When I met contacts I submerged and snapped the photos of 2 or 3 more ships. The mission then completed.

I noticed that and I went into the files and edited ALL the photo missions. There are 2 values I changed, both to one (1), in each and that fixed it. I found a bunch that would be "uncompletable". I hated those friggin' missions! All better now!

I wonder if i should change these to simple, Go to area missions, in the guise of "reconoiter X harbor" in text.


Im not entirely sure why some of these photo missions don't complete.

What values?

In the capaign data files, IF I interpreted them right, there is a value for the # of contacts that must be photoed. There is also a value given, which I think places a "value" on each photo towards completion. I changed 'em both to one (1) and that fixed it.

I am at work for another 3 hrs. When I get home I'll copy them to show you. What ever I found/did worked on every recon I've done since.

I was stuck on a second or third recon mission a few months ago. I went into the files and what I seem to have found as the problem was this, the mission data file seemed to want 5 contacts photoed. Game was spawning only 3 ships in the harbour. That value came earlier in the file. Later toward the end of the file is a value which seems to represent how many photos or a value for each photo that is taken to complete the objective. I am thinking back a few months, so I can't be more specific til I look at 'em again.
