I have v1.4005 as well. Regardless of time (2201, midnight, 0300 whatever) and the 'go ahead' from Sid to get started, I can't advance past a certain point without a 'fail' and 'you've been spotted' message. Tried numerous tips and tricks: Hugging the fence, not hugging the  fence, down the middle, the 'this path works method'....changing  the lighting as some videos suggested, and several different approaches at various times of night....all the same fail. The line of doom seems to be roughly straight through the big oak looking tree in the middle of the field (red arrow). Any manuever south of that line and pop goes the weasel. For now, I decided to skip this mission until more v1.4005 specific info or fixes come to light.

(Hint: You don't run East-West along the fence of doom to the Military Checkpoint. You stick like glue to the easternmost fence, run south like diarrhoea to the bottom of the map and come back up the river bed. (You ignore the mutants - they have their own distractions) Answer:  Um, yes, no kidding.  The dotted line (that goes east to west) shows  the imaginary fail line.  As stated above, "Any manuever south of that line and pop goes the weasel." Any path taken to get further south than that line results in the fail.   Thanks, but again, numerous methods from different sources were attempted..including 'hugging the fence'.  Can't get past a certain, very consistent, imaginary latitude line that sets off the fail alarm.  I'll try it your way (again) but I snuck double full crouch style down the fence (and other places) and ran full blast.  No worky.  Even tried to only move when spotlights paused at their full stop in the other direction. Assuming I get lucky and make it at some point, I'd still consider this a poorly designed and/or broken quest.

You will need to cross over to the Barracks, at which point Sidorovich pats you on the back. Climb in through a window. Avoid the lone patrol erk.

Iff there's a Blowout, shelter outside the window (they shelter inside and the building has sufficient protection radius to include the player)   Edit:  That's cool, thanks, I'll have to try that sometime. Died many times in vanilla SoC because the NPCs were bumping into each other and blockind the damn door. ha ha.

Get the Documents from the outpost, retrace your route and give them to Sid.

Easy peasy.
