Adding and flying campaigns
« on: June 29, 2011, 06:57:56 AM »
I have read some newb guids but I am still having problems flying some campaigns like Y-29 Blue Bastards to be exact. Are some campaigns not working with DBW because they need redone?

What's actually happening when you try to play the campaign?

Well I loaded the campaign and now there are no mis files which i have loaded campaigns a million times before but for some reason they aren't showing up/ Damn I'm still a noob with DBW and you guys got on this from the beginning. It's probably something very simple. I haven't loaded any planes yet. For some reason I have no maps in my maps folder. Any idea what I need to do?

There is no maps in the map folder - just the all.ini. All the maps are in SFS files, but you can add maps to the MapMods folder in the usual way.

'Legend if Y - 29' will load in DBW as I've just downloaded it and tried to find your fault, but it works ok.

The problem seems to be in the folders in the download.

After unzipping the download there are 3 folders and I suspect you loaded the 'Y-29' campaign folder via 'Mission - Campaign - US'. I'm afraid that folder only contains the video folder and nothing else. So I believe that you are trying to load an empty campaign, therefore it won't show.

The correct campaign folder is in the 'Program Files' folder, but down several levels. Find it and it will work OK - well at least I got to load - didn't go any further than that yet.

The structure of the download is a bit misleading.

Hope that helps....
