Hawk won't get repaired

[TheRealPetraeus]

So I am the location of Polygon/Testing ground 8. I overloaded the Hawk without realizing that I wouldn't be able to use the cameras to open the locks to enter the Testing ground. When I realized this, I left, and did two other Testing Grounds. I came back and the Hawk is still down and isn't getting repaired. Am I missing something, and how long do the Hawks stay dowm?

Just hit the same issue (on Game Pass).

I had this issue too, but when I completed the story mission there, it suddenly was repaired.

I'm having this same issue at testing grounds 11, once you overload the hawk it appears your done..

At TG 11 you have the option to use the camera OR a key to open it, but the key is only accessible through a zip line from the hawk, which is down?

Not a game ender, but needs a work around.

The workaround is to stay near the engine (big fan thingy) that is being repaired (and be patient - took like 10-20 minutes iirc). If you go too far away, it looks like the world freezes around the area you left causing nothing to be happening there.

I've encountered about 3 testing areas where the hawks are still grounded after hours of gameplay. Some hawks and enemies seem to reset and the areas that don't reset somehow have activated cameras. I did hang around testing area 8 for ages but the drones wouldn't spawn to come and fix.

I only overloaded the hawks near Testing Ground 12 and the testing ground that required a key disk, both times I had to wait for a pretty long time in the area for the hawk to be repaired, I also think it's not being repaired when you're loaded into a different area but I could be wrong.

Anyone get this to work? Just done the same thing and can’t activate the final generator (fan thing) with the camera as they are all down

I did like 5 other testing grounds and when I came back the cameras were on, but the hawk was still down. The cameras didn’t move or detect me but I could access them.

I don't think testing ground 11 is a glitch because you can use the cargo trains to jump over the wall. As for other testing grounds, hit the Hive (which spawns the repair bots/wasp) closest to the generator/windmill then run to the generator and windmill. The repair bots will fly towards the generator. I just did this in testing ground 9

The problem I'm having is in Testing Ground 8. There are three hives right next to the Hawk and none of them are repairing it.

I did finally get a reaction from the hives using your method! Note you have to actually HIT the hive, i.e. with a melee weapon. Just shooting at it does nothing. But when I hit it, the hive just spawned three wasps and that's it. No repair bots spawned.

I'm currently standing right next to the Hawk, just letting the game run, hoping it will eventually repair.

solution that works, confirmed by multiple folks: https://ibb.co/c8whv76

I have the same issue in TG8. Hitting bee hive doesn't help. No repair drones are spawned... Annoying... Hawk is still down and I can't get it back to the sky.
