Please guys someone let me know what am i doing wrong!! I play the first mission, i complete all the objectives and goals, go back to base following the steerpoints, land, park, turn the engines off, etc, etc, when i press ESC, i select QUIT, even though the mission debriefing states SUCCESS, i try to go to the next mission but the campaign doesnt let me, it starts again on the 1st mission like if i hadn't play it. IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!! HELP

After you finish a mission in a campaign, go through the debrief screen to the next mission, quit from that one and you save your progress by clicking (top left) "file" then "save". Don't confuse this type of saving with "save states" (ie the save button on the window you get after pressing ESC to quit). I have never had save states work, most folks haven't - it seems to be borked.


But anyway, you are getting frustrated with the whole thing and just want to fly and get further on in the campaign....

If you are still having a problem, there are possible workarounds, so lets get into those.

You can declassify a campaign in the Mission Editor and fly the campaign missions in any order you want (plus change skins, weapon loadout, etc). I use this method all the time to cherry-pick the fun missions in a campaign and miss out the dull ones.

Go into Mission Editor, upper left of screen click on the open button, bottom right TYPE OF FILE select CAMPAIGN, navigate the folder structure to the campaign you want and select it. Bottom right click on MAP. Now you will see the 1st mission of your campaign.

Many missions and campaigns are classified with a password so that they cannot be easily/accidentally changed. The stock missions and campaigns that come with Lockon use the password EAGLE.

Top left click on EDIT, then DECLASSIFY, enter the password EAGLE. Now all the missions in the campaign should appear on the right hand side, so select the mission you want to fly. If you wish, you can select your aircraft, select PAYLOAD and pick different weapons / fuel load / skin.

If you have downloaded any of the excellent missions/campaigns designed by the Lockon community, then some may be classified. Either the briefing notes or the readme file may tell you the password. Some may not.

If not, then you can still get in by overwriting the password with your own. Use keystrokes rather than the pulldown menu to do this.

Press "ctrl + left shift + C" then type in a password of your choice e.g. 1234.

Now press "ctrl + left shift + D" and enter your password e.g. 1234

NOTE that Lockon does not seem to remember this, so you may have to do it each time you restart Lockon


Secondly, there is a really useful utility that will extract missions from a campaign (link below) so you can fly them as individual missions. No real difference from flying them in the campaign....
