What is the expected behavior when you rescue lifeboats? When I use Special Actions and I perform the rescue (choosing heli and lifeboat) I do get the message action was executed successfully. Actually, this popup message comes up even if you don't choose a rescuer and a lifeboat (bug?). Should the lifeboat on the map be removed from the screen? Is this action added to a log somewhere? I have attached my save file and I am on build 1115.6.1

Hi sufa101loofa,

Sorry to keep you waiting for the answer on this.

I've just checked this in build 1121.9 and everything worked as intended.

The 'Special Action 'Perform Search & Rescue' has been executed' message simply lets you know that the special action was executed; meaning the code was run. The other messages let you know the outcome of the special action. If this is annoying you can simply uncheck the 'show pop-up message with action feedback' box in the special actions menu.

The expected behaviour (and works as tested in 1121.9) is that when your helicopter is within parameters (speed < 50kt, alt < 245ft) and within range (3280ft) the lifeboat will disappear, and you will get a special message from the helicopter crew confirming the rescue (this will trigger a popup if popups are enabled for special messages in Game > Game Options > Message Log), you should also hear a radio chirp sound effect.

1115.6.1 is very old; update to 1121.9 here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4763269

I'm going to mark this as resolved for now, don't hesitate to post back here if you run into further issues
