    Battle for Europe mission issue

    Devildog73
    You say you have Battle for Europe running well. I am having trouble with the BSK_MosquitoNFII. It won't initialize and says "Error loading mission file. Either the mission file is corrupt or formatted improperly. Give me a heads up please.
    Thanks

    Question Reply...

    Highpockets,


    Why won't it initialize? Does the Mosquito show up in free flight? If not, you may want to open up the panel.cfg and sound.cfg files to see if the aircraft is either missing files, or they are aliased to an aircraft that is not in the sim.

    Icon26 BSK Mosquito NFII

    Highpockets,

    I always have problems with the BSK Mosquito and the BSK Martin Maryland ; so I swap out the panel and the sound and replace with another Panel and sound and it then works fine.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    It is installed right out of the d/l with dbolt weapons selection. There is a panel file notepad and a Gryphon panel file notepad in the panel folder. The a/c sound is aliased to the P-38F which is there. The player a/c string is Dehaviland Mk.IV which does not match the air.cfg title in fltsim.0 ??
    This is mission 22.

    What panel should be substituted should I decide? I can get the Merlin sound and place it in the sound file.

    Highpockets,

    Try changing the name in the aircraft.cfg to read this: BSK Mosquito NFII, as well as the player a/c string.

    highpockets,

    I do not alias anything to another aircraft, ever.
    I put Mosquito panels and sounds in the BSK_MosquitoNFII.
    I make sure the missions aircraft called for and aircraft names are exactly the same.
    I use Jones QC Editor to make sure the MosquitoNFII is functioning in Quick Combat.
    I make sure the BSK_MosquitoNFII is listed in both Descript.dat and mdlnames.

    I know this is a bit overboard for some of our friends here in the basement, but I leave nothing to chance.
    I highlight, copy and paste the aircraft name from the DP and AIR files so that I know they are exactly the same.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the response. There are a few trails you mentioned haven't gone down yet. I see a couple of clues to my problem. I was getting pretty tired of messing with this particular a/c.
    I did find the player a/c and the air.cfg title had :
    DH 98 in the title and 98 DH in the player a/c. That still didn't fix it. Back to work on it tomorrow with your tips.

    Over the course of thinking about this in the back of my mind, deep pocket......

    Seems to me there are name issues in the files of the BSK_MosquitoNFII.
    I will do some checking.........

    NOPE! I gave up. I went through every iteration on the list I had for " AC missing in the library":
    Folder name matching the mission a/c name
    a/c cfg matching the player name
    Air and dp matching the " sim=name"
    I missed something somewhere. Spent a lot of time trying to find it-- moved on to fly other missions or other campaigns.

    --Question does the mosey load in free flight ?

    and how many aircraft in the install ?

    Doesn't load either in mission or FF. 70 a/c in the campaign.

    A total of 70 aircraft , should be under the limit , So something is a miss with the aircraft itself , because its not loading in free flight , If you changed panel and sound alias , then look at the model Cfg , for miss naming , Sub in a working air file ,
    and cfg for the mosey -- bac up the org first --

    Still a problem -- something has got corrupted -- looks ok but went bad -- try a new download ---
    or zip up the problem and post , and I,ll see I can track it down ,

    Good evening,

    I plan on looking at this as soon as I hand in my final graduate paper. I do my final presentation tomorrow night, and I expect to have the paper finished by the end of the week. Sorry about any issues regarding this; these missions have not been looked at in a LONG time.
