So far what I have figured out.

1. If you have any mods enabled then the heavy metal linked mission content apparently stops working.

I guess we wait for a patch while the experts in the modding community try to puzzle out the issue.

I'm down to trying it with just my own Sandman mod, the updated today pilot panic mod, and JK_Pilots lifted out of the 3025 Advanced mod.

If I still have issues with not seeing the HM linked missions I'll post a follow up, disable all the mods and go back to a vanilla game.

Promised follow up.. no joy.. mods do apparently break the HM career missions.. back to oh so vanilla vanilla..

thanx for that info.

glad i decided to do a unseen campaign with the few mods im running.

It sounds like others are using mods successfully based on posts in the forums. You may want to ask in tech support.

so...heres the deal.....the HBS mod loader is somewhat borked.
some mods will work..others wont.

to get around this our awesome modders have released modtek 7.4 (on github)
use modtek the old way in the old folder and some of those mods that were not working will.

this isnt a complete solution....many mods still need to be updated for 1.8

between the HBs mod folder and the old mod folder i have a dozen or so 'minor' mods running without issue.
i have not tried any of the more complex mods.

Exactly the same thing I've done.. the only mod still giving me grief that I use is Pilot Quirks. Hopefully it'll get updates or needed dependencies ironed out.
