I'm on Operation Reforger: The Iron Heel mission 4 "MIGCAP". I cant get past this mission. After Uzi 4 says "Hes turned into me for the third time..." Mig-29 RTB after a few minutes and nothing happens after that. I have tried this mission 4 times now with the same results.

Hi! 

I'm getting the exact same issue. Looks like the MiG ran out of fuel or something and went back to base before I got the 4th callout that is supposed to happen. 

 

Cheers!

I haven’t played OP Reforger II before the latest dcs update, but it seems like mission 3 might have a broken trigger after the first bomb drop. I get the audio cue to orbit north, the bomb hits the target but then I don’t get any audio cue that it hit. Jester stays locked onto the first target, the flight lead goes into an endless orbit, there are a few more audio cues from the friendly jets doing their thing but otherwise the mission stops progressing. Tested 5 times now with the same results. 

same experience; tried a few different approaches with this mission however was unable to influence a different result

thank you very much. love you.
I just finished playing it and finally managed to complete it, no problem at all.
great, this is what you call being a community.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again.

 

@WheelyMC look at the file that draconus put and the directions for successfully finishing the mission.

I was unable to get Jester to designate the next target after hitting the bunker for some reason; i noticed another post seemed to get around this by re-entering the laser code...will try that next.

Was it a good hit?

I did get a campaign voice indicating a hit however no DCS BDA notification txt pops up...will run the mission again and pay better attention this time (apologies); i am using the miz file that you posted earlier however I seem to be experiencing the same behaviour - I must be doing something wrong as others seem to have recent success with the updated miz.

Any help re mission 3? I can't seem to find the helicopter again after chasing the mig away. Turned back to heading 243, couldn't find a thing. Wasn't sure the mig 29 had actually shot the chopper down?

Okay, ran the mission again 4 times last night. After review of the scripted lantirn targeting and weapon view at drop i am convinced the wrong bunker is getting lazed, have also ensured no masking is occurring during bomb drop. To progress the mission trigger i instead manually (CCIP) dropped bombs on the north and south bunkers (this took 2 bombs each to shack the scuds), then used the guns on mobile scuds. This worked and allowed me to progress the mission.

On the helos, i found that i could take them out reliably with sidewinders if i lead above and ahead (ahead of flare countermeasure dispense) and at no more than 1.2mile distance. I took both out quickly however had to fly 180degress for ~5mi for the mission trigger to direct me back at the remaining helo (which i had already taken out); this was weird as a single helo showed up on radar however was not painted...once i flew to the ghost radar contact, another mission trigger fired allowing me to RTB or tank.

After all that i could never get the airfield carrier break to trigger so the mission failed (i was low on fuel and am hopeless at night AAR)

same problem for me as well. following jester's instructions, on the first bunker, even though I hit the scud, it does not destroy completely (once 33% damage, once 49% damage, etc.). So I find myself orbiting around waiting for nothing.
I tried dropping a second GBU, manually, and actually then the mission continues. The problem is that I have one less bomb to complete it. Any advice?

i used guns on the mobile launchers and that worked for me.

[draconus]

Apparently they tried to do something with the Reforger II : M3 mission because it has August date now but failed - the SCUD vehicles are still placed wrong and drive out of the hardened shelters (or some DCS bug makes them do that).

[JupiterJoe]

Thanks guys.  I guess I'll try and play around with the mission that @draconus doctored in July:

I've practically given up playing this campaign.  It's just too buggy right now.  In mission 4, Shock and Awe, Jester didn't laser something and the bomb missed then he just tracked the convoy instead of moving ahead to new targets.  They proceeded to blow up when they reached the enemy. (unless I'm supposed to be manually controlling Jester but it doesn't seem like it)

Operation Reforger -The Iron Hill

The company is just awesome! I fly around RIO in it and admire the views outside the window. Even on a helicopter mission, I flew for RIO almost all the time. He gave the pilot the command to descend to 1000 feet and with the help of radar and commands flew up to the helicopter.)

1. The TACAN 31Y "Texaco" does not work in all missions. You need to go to the editor, select the tanker, remove it set the "Direction" and resave the missions. I did it for myself, but after the patch everything will come back.

2. The mission 6 "Follow Up Alpha Strike" is stuck in the same place. When will the Tomahawk rocket fly up to Kutaisi. I tried it twice, rebooted the computer.(see logs)

The same. When approaching Kutaisi, at the moment of Tomahawk impact, the lighting changes and graphic artifacts appear, followed by a game crash. I tried it on a clean client without mods after a slow repair - a constant crash in this very place in this mission. Flying in the mission editor over this place with the same weather conditions and time of day does not cause problems. I managed to take screenshots:

Is there a way to skip AAR with this campaign?

Answered here:

[Dragon1-1]

Just a heads up, in Reforger M7, Jester still can't do IFF properly. And only in that mission. He declares everything as friendlies, which is problematic, since there's a lot of actual friendlies flying around. Also, it makes it impossible to do a multi target pass with Phoenixes, though with AWACS DL it's possible to IFF contacts that way, then you can lock and fire manually.

[Endline]

Can the Reforger campaigns be finished, or are they too buggy?

[Dragon1-1]

Just finished the first one, currently doing the second. So far it worked, nothing showstopping. 

That said, the custom ATC can't actually manage the traffic, which can cause problems. A B-1 crashed into be after an otherwise successful mission, it literally landed on top of me. While I can understand, that it's difficult to prevent under the current ATC constraints, it remains a problem. A solution would be to set the mission as complete after landing, regardless of whether you actually taxi to the dearm area. Reflected does it that way.
