Hi gents
I've noticed a few posts of late, where guys are having weird problems in QMB/FMB, so I thought I'd just add the latest weird issue that's started happening to me.
Example: I'm playing a P51 campaign, mission to escort 2 B17's. In the briefing, I should be in a P51, but I start the mission in a B17. Weird.
I exit the mission, open it in FMB, and check that the P51 is checked as pilot plane. It is. Save the mission. Restart it in campaign mode, and...I'm back in the B17!!! :?: :roll: Very weird. The game has ignored the mission settings! Reboot machine/restart game, no difference.
So, what the heck is causing it to ignore the mission parameters, and select a different AC as flyable in the mission?

Above is an example, a similar thing has started to happen with other campaigns. Very weird.
Anyway, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, just thought I'd share, and see if anyone else has a similar prob. Maybe together we can investigate a bit more. Might this be an error with the DGen or NGen files, or some such?

cheers

I get the same problem sometimes too. Cause is unknown - apparently it is a known bug and not related to MODS (according to M4T folk who play sans MODs). It doesn't just happen autogen campaigns - but also linear ones too. Only fix I know is to change the flights so that your squad is the only one in that particular flight.

have you tried to start the campaign to highter rank? bye!

if this is about static campaign then
its not weird .... try to assign player flight to be different squadron from any other present flight in mission . It seams weird cos before B17 wasn't playable so game couldn't place you in one :wink:

FMB basic ... when in campaign game assign you plane by the rank and not by mission specification.

I'm playing Dgen campaigns constantly ( exclusively lately ) and nothing weird haven't noticed so far .

fly_zo, spot on as usual, buddy! :wink:
After changing the squadrons, problem resolved. I know about the rank story, it wasn't that.
As you said, zo, not caused BY the mods, but as a result of the mods....if that makes any sense to anyone...
