"Good Evening" Mission Badly Stuck, cannot succeed OR fail, just repeats the mission.

[sleat]

No problems with previous campaign missions, but this one...has me confused.

 

I looked at it in the mission editor, but can't see anything obvious.

 

I take off, follow the flight leader, the MI24s attack, then we attack, I kill all but 2 insurgents at the river bend who are immortal. One RPG soldier and one AK soldier. Can't be killed.

You can land next to 'em and blast for 5 minutes with unlimited ammo, but they will not die or shoot back.

 

Then a transport group seems to turn up East of the battle, so I kill those soft targets.

 

Then a group moving towards the village of Sormoni appears so I kill them all.

 

Madrid then tells me "Keep Patrolling The Road". I keep doing this, the sun sets, I fly all the way to the old insurgent base by the lake and back, and nothing happens.

 

I fly back to the FARP and land when down to 10 minutes' fuel.

 

Quit mission, no success, no fail. Just...nothing. Back to campaign screen and it assigns me this mission once again.

 

Can anyone advise how to complete this?

 

There is another thread which talks about it, but the only way to finish in that thread is the Kobayashi Maru strategy. I.e. reprogram the mission. Is this the only way to finish the Huey Campaign or is there a way to complete the mission properly?

 

Please help :(

 

Cheers,

Joe
