Whilst working on the Port Moresby- Kokoda area of scenery, I've taken the occasional break & flown the route using Maskrider's old Kokoda Track mission.
In this mission you sit on the runway at Jackson 7-mile & use track view to follow a C-47 "Biscuit Bomber" as it flies the Trail from Port Moresby, through Kokoda & onto Buna.
Every time I run this mission, the Sim reports "player killed in a crash" after 30 minutes or so.
This happens whether I start my engines & sit on the runway, or as instructed, don't start my engines & sit on the runway. It seems to "invent" a crash to finish the mission after the half-hour of (player) inactivity.
I created a modified version of this mission, & had the player P-38 air-start. Using CFO Weather's autopilot function I was able to set it to cruise high above the terrain on a fixed heading. This allowed me to use Track View to follow the C-47 "Biscuit Bomber" on it's journey to Buna, using the same route & waypoints as in the original Biscuit Bomber mission.
It was a perfect flight, with no issues. I'm assuming the sim counts the autopilot-guided flight as still "player activity" & so it didn't kill me off after 30 minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a setting that can turn off this apparent 30 minute inactivity kill switch?
