Ok, I spend four days getting into Singapore harbor at just the right time of day - just before daybreak and then I sit patiently waiting... sun comes up and no camera button. Fair enough... we must need better daylight... so I wait and get dive bombed by a plane in the process - slight damage and not much more - easily repaired. All the while I am checking the scope and camera button... still no button, so I move in even closer... 1800 yards from the docks. I am so close a guy on the dock waves... still no camera button. 10 AM comes and goes... seriously BRIGHT daylight by now, gents... but still no camera button. I tried and I tried and I tried... then I just said the hell with it and went ballistic and sank everything there (except for a little patrol boat which only caught fire from a torpedo - go figure). Now they want to send me back - incomplete mission... what the heck? There is nothing there to photograph anymore... no worries now. <G>

So what gives guys? I have seen the posts about others having trouble with photo recon missions and I took notes... still no luck. Anyone care to share the secret?

Thanks in advance!
