Derelict "Fly to Deploy Point 1" where???
Hi, I'm having an issue with Derelict on part 4 of the first 4 part missions, I get to the "Fly to Deploy Point 1" objective but there is no indication or target for that point! Where am I supposed to go? Nothing shows on radar either, just cargo containers and wingmates.... And I can't jump out so I get to sit there for infinity or quit mission :/
Should I pass the time here, or talk some more?

Go into the options screen and find the key command for 'cycle radar range' or something like that. Make sure your radar range is set to infinity.

 
Re: Derelict "Fly to Deploy Point 1" where???
Still nothing... is it supposed to look like the grey beacon marker in previous missions? The only grey thing is the cargo container. :)

Is there anyway to continue with the rest of the campaign somehow?

If you can manage to kill yourself 5 times (firing tempests at point blank into something big will probably work) then you should get an option in the death screen to skip the current mission.

Somebody actually open this mission and figure out what he needs to do

 
Re: Derelict "Fly to Deploy Point 1" where???
It's "Through the Looking Glass" where you have to destroy the 2 Raider wings, then escort the Leon whatever through the asteroids. When that is done they're like, "let's get back to deploying these beacons" and that's when no indicator for where I'm supposed to fly happens. Going to try the mission fail thing in the mean time, forgot about that XD

I seem to recall somebody else experienced this bug recently.  I wonder if it's a SCP error.

Rennie Ash, can you post your log file?  See this post.

Which radar are you using? 3d or 2d? Can you change from one to the other and test that out? See if it appears? Maybe it 's to do with the new radar icons?

What version of FSOpen are you using?  If you are using something other than 3.7.0 it can cause this problem.  See this thread http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=85745.60

to quote from the release "!! Important !! You need FSO 3.7.0 and the mediavps 3.6.12!!"
Several people have had problems with this mission when using the new nightly builds and the mediavps_2014.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

 
Re: Derelict "Fly to Deploy Point 1" where???
FSO 3.7.1 SSE with media vps 3612, 3d radar. The previous beacon points were marked but this one idk. Skipped the mission and everything else is good so far ;p May have alook at log file later, I have Win7 64 bit...

FSO 3.7.1 SSE
That would explain your problem.  Can't guarantee you won't have further problems if you don't use the recommended build.

Yes, that does seem to have fixed things ;p It seems I missed out on flying to 2 waypoints... XD

The campaign is going to start having pretty big problems if it isn't retaining compatibility with FSO.

Or perhaps it's the other way around, and a certain feature has become broken in newer builds.  It would be useful for someone to dig into the specific mission file and see what's actually supposed to happen here.

It is compatible with the official release.
