ATTENTION: SPOILERS! - F-14B CAMPAIGN REFORGER PART I+II FEEDBACK THREAD - Read at your own discretion.

[wowbagger]

Yep, will do.  I wasn't pointing it at you guys, just alerting that it hasn't been fixed yet.

[Rick_NSX]

I have not been able to figure out the issue with the checkpoint in mission 4 yet in the Reforger 2 campaign. If anyone has seen a fix or a workaround, I would greatly appreciate it and I would even be willing to put together a video explaining the fix and giving credit to whoever it is.

Is AAR a trigger in Reforger 1 mission 2? I'd rather skip it as it takes me so long to hook up. By the time I am done, it is too dark to find the ships.

[Rick_NSX]

@JesterIsDead It is not. Good fuel management will get you back without AAR.

This is prolly a DCS issue. The AI recently does not want to drive through checkpoints and sometimes just random locations. When I initially created the mission it drove the entire way from start to finish, by now I think I am already despawning and respawning it 3 or 4 times.. We will continue investigating.

Anyway to redownload the Reforger II campaign?  

I was trying to edit Mission 2 as suggested, and must have messed something up.  When I continue the campaign (on mission 2), I enter the mission in free camera mode, and NO units are present.

Thanks!

Use DCS repair feature.

This worked.  Thanks.

Was able to make the edits this time successfully; and the missions worked as intended! 

On to mission 3!

I think I have managed to find and iron out the biggest mission-breaking bugs in Mission 4: Shock and Awe, and was able to complete it successfully. Amended .miz file is attached below. If anyone finds any other bugs, I can take another look.

I am planning to fly this this weekend. I'll let you know what I see. Is there any chance you have the list of changes you made? If so, I would like to make a vid showing the changes to spread it to the larger audience who may not see this thread.

No worries, Rick, I'll PM the changes to you in the next day or so. Cheers.

[Rick_NSX]

I can confirm that the file @Rokkett posted does work and is flyable and complete-able. The one thing to note is that the 3rd bomb may or may not destroy both vehicles. If it doesn't, you will have to destroy the truck by means of gun (or I suppose a perfectly fired sidewinder). *Edit* The note below indicates that you don't have to destroy both vehicles. Perhaps I didn't loiter long enough before my second pass for the dialog to move on.

I'll be trying to put together a video of the changes for the wider population that may not be on this string.

Thank you Rokket! It takes a village.

Rick

[Rokkett]

Just to clarify, you do not need to destroy both vehicles. You only need to destroy the technical to progress the mission.

Cheers.

[Rokkett]

Whilst awaiting the official fixes to the Reforger II campaign, for those that are interested, attached is my fix for Mission 5: Chem Strike. Let me know if you find any other bugs.

Good news is that the final two missions, 6 and 7, do not seem to have any mission-breaking bugs and can be completed as is.

Edit (16/10/23): Tweaks to resolve a trigger clash that prevented Uzi group from forming up as briefed.

Playing Mission 4 “Alpha Strike” of Operation Reforger Part 1, after I escort the F14s to drop TALDS.  They never actually drop the TALDS, they turn back to the carrier and the mission never proceeds past this.  I have tried 4 times with the same result each time.  Any fixes out there or just move on to the next mission?  I am following every instruction to the letter.

Fix is still yet to be applied.

Understood, I’ll keep an eye out moving forward in the patch notes.  Thank you

Mission 2 didn't work for me either (in terms of triggers not activating etc), on the first attempt.  Retrying now.  Will post Track if I get the same result...

 

...Shortly after I arrive on station for CAP (North), I hear Venom telling Magic their mission is complete and I get a call from Magic to tell me to cover Venom and expect RTB shortly:

 

null

...Then this happens, but no Mig 29's are in sight:

Reforger II has some brilliant stuff in it.   I want to thank Rick_NSX and Rokkett for making it possible to complete the campaign and urge others to give their changes a try.  I hope HB are able to make the necessary adjustments soon, ( I appreciate they haven't been able to proceed until ED have done their bit first), so the wider community can finally enjoy this wonderful campaign.

It's actually Mission 5 - I have found a workaround which will enable you to play and successfully complete Reforger 1: Mission 5.

Download here. Let me know if you find any other bugs.

Thank you @Rokkett and @Rick_NSX for all the help you provide. It is highly appreciated - please check PM as well, we have a small thank you for you guys as well. You certainly deserve it.

The fix for F-14s not releasing TALDs will be in the coming patch.

[Rokkett]

Thanks, IronMike!

 

Have updated the Reforger II -Mission 5 file above to resolve a trigger clash that prevented Uzi group from forming up as briefed if the player taxied too soon at the start of the mission.
