[Dr Strangelove]

Is it just Operation Pedestal (9 Aug 1942 – 15 Aug 1942) or can you play for a longer time?

[Shakaali]

The campaign is set to end at August 15 1942.

[Witchy]

Ok so this campaign may need an update. The first try was a FAA campaign with the albacore which worked fine, however I tried a campaign with both the hurricane IC and IIC and a Fiat G50 and upon starting the cam jumps to a pink albacore spawning at a land base, flying up in the air and blowing up on the ground so there must be an airfields issue or something else. I did select the right squadrons for these planes. The albacores are suppose to be carrier based and I was supposed to escort them on a mission to tripani so the locations must be messed up. My escort waypoints were also all over water not far from the carrier and did not come close to the target but when you hit fly you get this issue in the image.

[Shakaali]

I'll look into that. Sounds like a payload error.

[Shakaali]

Yep. It was a payload error. Somewhere between BAT 3.3 and BAT 4.2.2 there has been a major payload overhaul for Albacore.  Should be fixed now, download link in the first post upadated.


Witchy, thanks for the heads-up

Thanks so much I don't mean to make you work, is it as simple as dropping an updated payload file in the folder?

[Shakaali]

Dropping both payload files (payloads.dcg and allpayloads.dcg) to the folder is enough.

noted, if i play another older campaign of yours I will do this.

Does not necessarily work, as I check only payloads for the aircraft used in that particular campaign.  The payloads.dcg and allpayloads.dcg from this campaign will not (necessarily) work in any other campaign.

But please keep on telling me if you find bugs. I'll be happy to fix them, but I can't fix problems I'm not aware of.

Hi Shakaali, I´ve installed the campaign in my 4.2.2 (No Hotfixes applied) + DCG 3.50 b14. Generate the first mission, start flying it and a few seconds after takinf off I get a crash to desktop

I am getting this error traces in the log.lst file:

Does it help to fix my problem?
Thanks!

[Shakaali]

arquillos, I can't help you with this. I believe it's not DCG-related. I the problem persists and happens only in this campaign let me know.

[arquillos]

Thanks Shakaali, I will install the 4.2.2 hotfix and check it again!
