Question On CTD on Aircraft

[Devildog73]

I built a mission whereby a Myrt is stalking a USN PB4Y2 Privateer.
When I spawn the Privateer the mission freezes and within a few seconds I CTD.

I substitute the stock B-24 and the mission flies fine.

I go to free flight and fly the Privateer from Guam to Okinawa just fine with changing views on a nice long 1200 mile flight.

For whatever reason, when I then put the Privateer back into a MB mission, as soon as I spawn it: CTD.

Any ideas??

crash_check or mroe likely lightstate

Hex numbers to chck the model. Replace all with 00 if found.

crash_check bytes = b4 ad ec 0e 24 17 c6 41 b9 77 d8 7a 4c 95 44 e8

lightstate bytes = 9D E9 F0 57 23 05 9C 4E BC B6 12 BB 2F E7 3F 06

Where do I find this information?

Hi Devildog73,

You need to open the MDL file with a HEX editor and search for those strings of bytes.

Hope this helps,

Lee,

I assumed it was the AF Scrub reworking of K.Malinowskis PB4Y2 Privateer

mdl files Hex edited to remove g lightstates & crashcheck codes, should be Mission Builder friendly now. Includes gloss sea blue model too for those that have my Korea & French Indo China repaints.

So does that mean if I find a b4, replace with 00, then 9D replace with 00
meaning that I search each of the 32 above and replace them ?

Hi No Dice,
The HEX editor should have a "search by hex bytes" function.
You want to enter all or most of the string of bytes in order to find the entry.
Then replace the bytes with 00 and save.
Of course you should backup the MDL in case.
