Setting targets don't work

[Destroyer110]

ok, i'm building a campaign but i cannot for the life of me get 'Targets' to work. I place one next to the enemy unit, Set to 'Destroy' set all the details - 100% destroyed, no time out = 0, set as primary target, save game then play but as soon as the game starts, it says "primary target failed" .. I haven't even taken off yet!

Sounds like a Bug, 4.08 bug, will it be fixed in 4.09?

Thanks

Don't you have to set a timeout? If set to 0, you are allowing no time at all to complete the objective, therefore the immediate failed message.

It's not a bug...you didn't set it up correctly. If you post the mission somewhere, we can check it for you.

well, in that picture it seems that you have destroy target (enemy plane) set in them starting (born) point. So you should destroy them at that point and you can't 'cause you are on runway. After they (target) go past that target point, it's failed.
You should set target point to later, where you actually have change to get them (destroy them before target point), like their last waypoint.

Try that.

il2battle's information is wrong. You can set the target at any waypoint and it will be a target for the whole mission up to the penultimate waypoint; once it reaches that waypoint(penultimate)you will get the 'Target failed' notification. So make sure you have more than two waypoints.

ok, worked it out .. too few way-points and the landing procedure effects destroy target too early.
