Hi all.

I'm into my second day of a Red Viper campaign. My airbase apparently got bombed, which shut down the base for about 8-12 hours. When the base was repaired (I guess?) and missions again started coming up, I ran into a problem. While I can select a mission now, when I taxi to the runway there are craters right down the middle of it. The AI planes can take off normally, however if I touch one I explode.

I worked around it for one mission by taking off in air and planting my landing onto the dirt next to the runway- destroying my gear in the process, but I'm wondering if this is a bug, or something that will eventually be repaired in the game. It's sort of a show stopper for flying missions right now.

Thanks,
Toonces

I too have seen this in game, and my "solution" was to save the campaign and go back into a different squadron (at a different airbase). Alternately you could try using the taxiways as runways, but I don't know if RedViper allows you to do that.

I've never seen if the craters get repaired, though I would think the do eventually ...

Hope this helps a bit,

Torquatus
