Hello

Upgraded for a working 1.3 build. On QMB flying a Spitfire Mk1. and know enemy, I loads to about 85% then come up with "Mission loading failed : mesh 3do/humans/paratroopers/russia/mo no.sim not created"

Any clues?

I don't know... something's missing... but try upgrading to build 1.5

what map? a large one, maybe the Channel map?
try a different RAM setting. usually 512MB works best.

this is a common bug, no specific DBW error
use the searchfunction, you will find loots of stuff on the paratrooper error.

Set the selector on lowest mb ram and try again it usually helps for some reason

Tried it again, and its fine?

Also upgraded to 1.5 and thats okay know?

Hi, look at my question a bit further down (paratroops), the answer is very simple.

SAS_Storebror (a.k.a. Mike) reports thus:

This error ("Mission loading failed: Mesh3do/humans/Paratroopers/Russia/mono.sim not created") occurs while textures are loaded
   into your graphics card's memory. When the size of these textures exceeds the memory limits of your graphics card, mission
   loading stops with this error message.
   
    Why is it always the Paratroopers causing this error?
   
    It isn't. Forget about the error message contents, it's plain bullshit.
   
    So what exactly do these parameters do?
   
    They let your system compress the textures with a so called "S3TC" texture compression algorithm, which gives a very good
   performance and much reduced texture size with just a slightly loss of texture quality (regarding quality however the
   implementation of S3TC, depending on your graphics driver, might cause slightly frayed texture edges).
   
    Why do I need to set two parameters for just one thing?
   
    Good question. Maybe just to confuse the russians
   
    Joking aside, one parameter would logically do, but things are like they are, don't waste time worrying about it.
   
    What happens if I set just one of the two parameters?
   
    Simply said, it just won't do the trick. You need to set both in order to get the texture compression to work correctly.
    Okay, got it. But now I forgot the right flag parameter's names and settings...
   
    No problem, here you go:
    In your IL-2 game folder you'll find a file "conf.ini". Open this in notepad (or your favourite text editor) and set these
   two parameters in the section [Render_OpenGL] accordingly:
    TexCompress=2
    TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1
