I am on 4.2.1, the only mods in theTGA folder are ng cam 2.0, and the docking beeper.

I'll try the fmb suggestions when I get home. Will let you know if that is successful.

Thanks, pied.

Further information, opened the mission in FMB, renamed, played out of the FMB, resulting mission ran just fine. Tried the original naming, ran fine out of the FMB. Tried the newly named mission out of the Pilot Career tab same result as before, pilot dead no aircraft and view of the ocean. Attempted the mission (both names) as  single missions, missions play fine....

I'm somewhat confused!

that actually explains it.
There is only one thing different in campaign mode and that is pilot placement in the squadron depending on rank.

You did not start the campaign at the suggested rank of Lt.jg, did you?
Because this mission has a small oversight on my part, where the Lexington flight is in the same squadron as your intended player flight.

In FMB, single mission or played at the correct rank in campaign, this obviously does not matter, but apparently you are off and therefore placed into the Lexington flight. This one has a start up trigger assigned, and that does not work with player. That is your bug.

Here's a fixed mission
https://www.mediafire.com/file/6028jupyc7wg7pr/Excercise01.mis/file

But I would also like to see what happens if you press "unlock" in the campaign mode briefing with the old mission. This makes the game ignore rank-shuffle and should place you in the intended flight, no matter what. The old mission should play for you as well then.

[pied]

Thank you for the help!  I did start the mission pack as Lt. (junior grade), the mission runs fine when 'unlocked'. This sim sure has a lot of quirks!!!

Thanks again, I'm really enjoying the different type of flying in this campaign and appreciate all the work that must go into creating these.

[Vampire_pilot]

This sim sure has a lot of quirks!!!

The rank shuffle for scripted campaigns never was a great feature, since you never know what rank someone may have after a longer stretch of missions...
It must be taken into account when making missions.

What rank are you on at the moment at mission 8?

[pied]

On mission 8 I'm still at Lt junior grade.

[Ta183Huckebein]

Ok, so I've hit a block here...

I'd been doing a lot of flying of the single missions for the ZRCVs and finally had some time away from work to put towards flying this campaign, but I've hit a roadblock at the first mission

When I try loading it up, it doesn't let me check the floatplane in the loading screen, and the mission begins with the landscape view and "Aircraft Inoperable" down in the bottom left.

Campaign started as Lt. JG

log shows this error:

At first I thought this might be an error in my install with the Curtiss 37 being corrupted in my install, but it loaded up in the QMB just fine

Any ideas?

[Vampire_pilot]

You MUST be on BAT 4.2.1

java.lang.RuntimeException: INTERNAL ERROR: HierMeshObj: Can't load HIM 3DO/Plane/Curtiss_37F_Cyclone(US)/hier.him

There was a specific update to this plane, looks like you can't load the new 3d.

[Ta183Huckebein]

That doesn't make any sense, I am on 4.2.1. I have been since the day you released it.

I'll even prove it, a screenshot of my load screen:



Nothing came up as an error when I installed the update, nothing seemed off about any of it...

[Vampire_pilot]

Hm.
In fmb window, is there a difference in the plane whe you chose any us nation or any other? The floats shold be different.

[Ta183Huckebein]

So after my last post I re-installed 4.2.1 and the hotfix over my game and then saw your most recent reply.


Upon checking the QMB, the aircraft disappears when picking a US nation, but reappears when selecting any other nation. That would certainly explain the load errors.

I have no idea why this is happening. You'd think there'd be an message that'd pop up if there was an error in unpacking something, but I got no such message when installing 4.2.1

[Vampire_pilot]

Shit, I found a bug.
A very stupid one too.

Hang on, this can only be fixed by another hotfix package!
I'll finish it up in a day or two.
