Well, I finally passed it and finished the basic campaign. It was a trigger issue. The wind is so rough on that particular mission that I guess it was just blowing me out of trigger range. It's a catch 22 because he will fail you if you get too far off of the course he wants you to take, but at the same time the crosswind can push you right off of your waypoint and make you miss the trigger. Regardless, I was just super cautious about all of my lines and managed to finish it up. Thanks to everyone that piped in.
Now if I can ever connect in Air to Air refueling then maybe I can move ahead in the Advanced campaign. Always another hurdle to clear, lol. Thanks for the response and again for the great training campaign.
Have a good one and good hunting.
