Problem with "English Channel Short" Mission - A Netwings Mission

[renereimann]

The player aircraft P-51B is unable to be controlled. The mission starts with the player aircraft inflight. The View is stuck in "Spot" View. There are no Heads Up Display (aircraft instruments). If I press F6 to go to Pilot's seat the game crashes.

Anyone have any ideas to fix this? :ques:

Does this aircraft work ok in QC? When you start missions, you can change your aircraft in the assignents screen. If you do that does the alternative a/c work ok?

Pat: Thank you for your reply. I looked at the mission file with Notepad and found it did NOT have a designated Player aircraft. I added "IsPlayer="y" to the mission file and was able to fly the mission normally. I have not seen a problem like this in seven years of flying CFS3.

A mission builder should correct this mission for Sim-Outhouse.

Good catch :) Why not upload it to SoH or attach it here?
