Still waiting on this fix. Surely it's low-hanging fruit someone can jump on?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious ... what and where is "APEX"? I looked in the approach plates, airport diagram, etc. and for the life of me I couldn't find it. I love the campaign, but this has been bothering me a bit, figured I'd just ask.

Can confirm this is happening to me as well. During this part, I am on green 8 & red 1. Once the F4 appears, I get the "press spacebar when tally (visual)". I press spacebar and see a blank message go out (just reads ". ") Once I'm on his six, I press the spacebar again. Same message goes out. Suddenly I have an f10 option to respond "yes" or "no" but there was no message received to which I know how to respond. When I got tired of not knowing what to do next, I just reported bingo, and all comms started working again (reaper responded on either G8/R1).

oh 100% cheating, yep. but didn't they use it all the time in the latter half of the tomcat's lifespan? my lingo isn't quite great yet. does 'you have the needles' mean it's not enabled and I should sack up and learn to fly with just ICLS?

hello - just wondering if ACLS is enabled for case III's in this campaign?

I think I figure more out ... I loaded up mission 1 once more yesterday in an attempt to simply repro and save the track, but I managed to takeoff without issue. In re0-watching, I did something a little differently. This time, I prevented BIFF from turning to the centerline and kept him from even being able to start rolling. This time, he sat back and the mission dialogue continued as expected and I had no issues. When I enter the runway and roll forward, giving him room to enter himself -- THAT's when he just goes for takeoff without stopping. The trick was to keep him from lining up himself. I'll try once more to repro again to get him to ram me just to be sure, but this might help you repro! edit: just to be clear, I don't want to refund or stop buying campaigns. I agree we need more people pushing ED to remember that the game itself needs to be better, not just the modules.

Thanks BD! Only in mission 1 - I haven't moved past it yet so I can try others in the coming day and get back to you. WIll grab the track file + tacview this time Very much appreciate your prompt reply! much for all you do!

Can confirm this is continually happening to me. Just purchased last night. After reproducing it twice, I neglected to save the track file due to frustration, but I do have a tacview export. if that in any way helps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qLxy4-ybc8NXWdcTQxjwF0cQSe1HaWIW/view?usp=sharing Things I've noticed ... I cross the runway and lineup, but continue rolling to ensure I'm lined up. Before I even press spacebar to let him know I'm lined up and ready, he has started his takeoff roll and just cheeses it straight down the runway, going all the way into the air. Second time, I had pressed spacebar while still rolling a little bit and looking backwards to see what he'd do. Sure enough, he started his takeoff roll, crashed into me, and continued to takeoff like nothing had happened.
