tried that...doesn't work.....

if I enable MDS 1.1 or 0.8 in the JSGME then mission loads to 90% and hangs the game....(this is to play the mission...not in FMB)
if I have no MDS enabled then it loads OK...but of course there are no AI planes etc.

:? :? hock: :-? :-? :???: :???: :?: :?:

As I understand it, the new UP install will tie in HSFX 4.1 and have other UP mods available through JSGME. I vouch that if you wait until this issue (probably next week) you will be able to transfer your UP 1.8 missions into the new install, then select HSFX 4.1 through the switcher and all will be rosy! If I remember rightly, there were some significant differences between HSFX 4.0 and UP 1.8 (aircraft included), so the likelyhood is that since you constructed these missions in UP 1.8 with MDS 1.0, you will have to wait for UP's version to get them installed.
I do not speak from any prior knowledge....but when I saw what was on offer with the original issues of HSFX and UP1.8, we as a small group of mainly ancient flyers (40-80 years!) decided that we would go down the UP route as it was a little more flexible.
Don't get me wrong.....I think both HSFX and UP are really great installs and one day we will have a unified version, but just imagine what these guys are up against with so many mods....I am in awe of their work.
Give it a week and maybe you will be OK Fabianfred...but I sympathise and am keeping my UP 1.8 MDS missions where they are for another week or so.

Happy Christmas to you all and a special one for all the guys who have given us so much in UI, HSFX and UP.
