As I played through the Bear Trap campaign, I encountered FREQUENT issues even when I had installed one of the user files (forget his name right now) to fix them. I still had to use mission editor constantly to fix things like auto-pushing, SEAD dying by SAMs, strike pushing too early, strike literally cruising into the ground because a waypoint had 1500 MSL (they just flew into the ground)...TONS of issues throughout this campaign that required mission editor to even complete them. Yet, most of the flights aren't even in depth and are something like "fly to WP4 and CAP until a bad guy shows up".

 

 

Here's my recommendation: screw that entire campaign...it sucked the life out of me constantly having to fix the missions just to complete the campaign. Buy the Georgian War campaign. I've played like 3-4 missions out of it so far and it is light-years ahead of Bear Trap. Much more fulfilling missions, no bugs. All good so far.

I completed the Bear Trap twice few months ago (2.5) and in 2017 (1.5) by using the fixed files. No need to get hands dirty in ME. Ian already have this and other campaigns waiting in the line to get rework. My memory may fail me but all the important strike pushes were not automatic - you had to call them when ready.

I was using 1.5 with Ian's updated files. Still didn't work. I originally tried 2.5 (before I knew about Ian's files) and switched to 1.5 because doing so allowed me to complete one of the earlier missions. That was before I knew anything about ME, but I spent so much time googling how to complete the missions I learned about this site, those updated files, and how to use ME at least for some basics. After I learned about that, I stayed on 1.5, downloaded the files, and kept going through the missions.

 

 

Maybe it's better if you start in 2.5 with the files, but at the time I wasn't aware of any of that, and eventually I made it to 1.5 with files installed, still wayyy too much time spent editing instead of flying.

 

 

But as I said, my hope was just to prevent someone from having the same headaches I did and bypass the campaign altogether, and do Georgian War instead.
