Reconnaissance/Transport Missions Fail

[GunnySonics 127]

I am unable to complete any Recon/Transport missions using Nimrod/C130 when I create missions although I pass over the Prority Waypoint my mission remians "in progress", I was able to complete these types of missions previously flying Canberra's etc but for some reason I can no longer complete any non combat missions that dont involve blowing shit up or shooting shit down?

Any ideas anyone?

Try, for a change, a custom AWACS recon mission, for SF2 , similar to the SF1 counterpart from download section made by me. You take an AWACS model, make it recon &transport role only. Change, if you choose an USA AWACS, the formation type in formation.ini (you will have the AWACS with two escorts , one on each side or 5 symetric escorts, take your pick). Change for AWACS to easyradar so you will be able, like in an AWACS, to pick any air-to-air or air-to-ground target. Modify on each AWACS wing to allow every weapon you need for the escorts. You can add , separately, two fuel tanks so you can choose between two fighters (any other fighter you will choose after fixing the fuel tank names will fly without fuel tanks, obviously, but you can change the names for fuel tanks at anytime or you can create for every AWACS you get two distinct planes for them. Think COUNTRIES! F-14/F15/F-16/F-18/F-22 with a USA AWACS; Rafale with a French one etc) if you want them to load  fuel tanks as well. RECON missions are long range ones so you will need fuel for sure, if the ecort fights. In a Soviet type (bomber) formation you can order to two wingmen, instead of one, like in US formation, with one command. No 2 and No3 will take the order and will blast everything in their path. When you have 5 escort planes everything becomes more interesting. You can order the other flight (No4, No5 and No6) to join the fight or send them to other corner to fight other enemy flights or send them to blast ground targets. These type of AWACS missions are my favorite especially when one try to escape with no scratch and your escort 100% alive. Here's some reference from SF1 of the matter:

If you are interested PM me and I will assist as needed.

Soon I will make something similar for SF2. For now I am busy with other SF2 things.

Add to the secondary role of C-130 in the data. ini RECON
