This is another bug with too little information to be useful. Please read this:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

Then come back and answer at least these questions:
1) What exactly happens in that mission?
2) What do you expect to happen?
3) How is this different from retail?

1) You have to follow 7 nav buoys in a Nebula to get to the Grall and call in Lambda to extract Lt. Snipes. When the mission begins you are told by you wingmates to follow the nav buoys. During the mission your ship is hit multiple times by emp. You only have all systems and the radar for short durations (betwean emp bursts) to find grey dots on your radar (nav buoys).
2) I expected the next nav buoy to show on radar.
3) I didn't get to that mission in retail (retail works slower on my computer with low graphic than FSOPEN with high graphic). But acording to a couple walktroughs the next nav buoy should show on radar.

Thanks for your updated report.

This is not a bug. This is a hard mission in both retail and SCP. What you need to do is examine your radar very carefully for the next grey dot. The dot will appear on your radar (fuzzing from side to side a bit) as soon as you pass the current navbuoy. You will probably get lost a few times during the mission; if that happens, fly to the first navbuoy and start again.

If you need more help, post on the HLP forums.
