Mission 5 AI crash problem

[dolin]

Hello, I've bought the campaign from the Steam store and so far I'm loving it!

However I'm having a problem during mission 5. The F-18 allied flight that starts before mine seems to just stall out after launch and crash in the sea.
I believe they are meant to trigger events later on and, sure enough, once I arrive on station at WP1 nothing else happens, I just fly in circles with no orders coming for me.
I've tried the mission twice with the same outcome.

Is it something I can fix easil with some mission editing?

Thank you for your help.

'Fraid not, it's a known F-18 bug that's breaking many campaigns at the moment. ED is aware and are working on a fix.

I see, bummer. I guess I'll skip the mission until a fix comes around.
