      I am playing the Iron Fortress Campaign in the original KTO. I went through the first two mission and now the can’t fly anymore. The AI is not generating any more missions for my squadron or any other squadron even though I am still in the first day of the campaign. The only package in the ATO is AWACs. I accelerated time to 64x and it still isn’t generating any missions.

      Any ideas? I just downloaded the 2012 KTO and will try that. Or maybe I will try fragging my own missions in the editor.

        You don’t need to get into an editor to frag your own missions. Simply right click on the map of where or whatever it is you want to assign a mission for and select add package. Set your take off and ToT then click on the New button. That will bring up another window to select airframe types, units, numbers of aircraft, and mission type. Once you have selected your unit and the rest of the parameters you click on okay. As long as your unit has enough available aircraft you will see the new package made. You can modify it like any other package you fly at that point.

          I will try that. Thanks!!!

            I was having problems with a DEAD strike against an SA-2 battery. I used mission commander to add two more fighters to my flight, but still was having issues with a nearby SA-5 site. I adjusted the flight path. That helped a bit.

            I decided I would frag a flight to attack the SA-5 site prior to my arrival. It worked like charm. Thanks for the suggestion!

            Since I had three other HARM strikers in my flight I decided to adjust the load out on my jet. I loaded 8 GBU-39s to take out the SA-2 launchers. I designated steer point 13-22 for the launchers, pointed the jet toward the steer points and then launched within parameters - between range max and range min. GBUs indicated they were ready and then pickled each one, changing the steer point after dropping each weapon.

            I watched the bombs head to target and none hit. Did the SAMs moved? It appeared to be heading to an area other than the launch site. I didn’t change any of the settings for the GBUs - azimuth and impact angle. I flew the mission a few times and no hits. Odd.

            I next time I went back I flew with HARMs. We took out the radars at the site and then went hunting for more along the coast. I took out another one and then landed. I had two kills along with others by my wingman and element, but my grade was poor. I don’t think the strikers in my package was shot down, so why did I get a poor grade. Was I suppose to stay in the area? Or was I suppose to take out the SA-2 launchers. If it was the latter I am going to have to figure out a way to get them.

            The easiest way to get them is the method I tried with the GBU-39s - attack them as preplanned targets. I guess I should try and determine if my target steer points match the location of the SA-2.

              I think I may know why the GBU-39s are not hitting their targets. The SAMs are located at an airbase. But funny thing. The airbase is there, but the icon is not there on the planning map.

              Did I accidentally delete it. Maybe I will back up and check for the icon in one of the campaigns.

                It took a while for me to get back to playing the campaign. I ended up reinstalling BMS - with no theater add ons - and I am finally well into day 1. The AI isn’t generating any more missions again. I tried to frag missions with jets from my squadron but it keeps saying they are busy - try later. I also tried jets from other squadron and it says the same thing.

                Does anyone have any ideas?

                  Ran it for a while at x64 and it started to frag missions. Irritating….
