Zone 5, Mission 1 won't advance

[Redliner7]

Hi, 

I've flown the first mission with Gator 3 times now and every time I've knocked Gator out of the sky and then landed at Nellis...the mission shows as "complete" at the end and then when I click "end mission" the game forces me to redo Mission 1 again.  How do I advance?

That’s weird. If you get the mission compelte message then you met the criteria to advance. Must be some sort of core dcs confusion/ bug. Try to run a repair, and if it doesn’t help you can still open the next mission from the campaign folder under mods. 
 

did you rejoin with Gator and follow him back to nellis? What’s the mission result when you finish? Is it 100?

 Rejoined with Gator, got the script from BIO about going thru the debrief and did the landing checklist with Jester and landed in formation with Gator...   Yep, 100.  

I'll try a repair...will I have to fly it again if I advance from the mods folder or will it advance afterwards?  Love this type of campaign so far...if I can advance, lol.

Unfortunately, only campaign mode allows you to advance normally. If you run the mission from any other menu or editor, the campaign will not progress. It takes editing of logbook.lua to do that.

Yes, what he said. I checked the mission and the completion criteria fires properly. If the campaign still doesn't advance, then the problem is with the campaign engine itself, something got corrupted somehow. Since you're the only one with this, 'Im pretty sure a repair will solve it. Otherwise you can try and use the 'skip mission' function too under the F10 menu.
