Sounds like them new missions and campain are calling for a map that you dont have in your game, as for all your saved campains being gone am not sure about that maybe someone else can help there.

Hi
Like Deutchmark says, you probably miss the Map it wants. Look in the Mission.properties for the Map name and compare with your Map list.
Good Luck

Thankyou for your help ! It's not just a missing map. :-? I tried 4 or 5 other missions from diffrent countrys & maps and had the same problem these were missions i've had along time and have played in the past. Thats what has me stumped and as for the saved camps. i would think if they were in the game then they would have to be in a file some where ? I had a few campains i was 30 to 50 something missions into. war is hell ! Once more Thankyou all for your help Let me know if anybody can think of anything last thing i want to even think about is a total re-install :OO nonono....

Ok here is something you can do its a little radical but works most times.

1, Is your IL2 game on your C drive if yes that's good for this.

2, Have you installed anything else on to C drive from the time you put in the new missions if not that's good, but if you have then you will need to reinstall what ever that might had been as what am about to tell you to do will take what ever you installed out.

3, Do a system restore go back to a time just before you put in the new missions on your PC, like if you put them in on Friday afternoon then try to go back to a time on Friday morning or before, but remember the more you go back the more that will be taken out, once you have done this and all is ok then update your ant vires program again.

That would have been next. I was going some folders to make sure there was'nt anything i should backup before i did the restore and found a very old forgottin foulder. :-? :| 8) Ever heard of IL2Stabb a cool little peace of freeware from back in the day i've not used since UP. & HSFX came out. It was outdated and quit working for the most part and i forgot all about it and ya know what ? It still don't work lol... BUT god bless it's little heart has somehow managed to keep a log file that lets you restore one or all pilot campains hock: and it WORKED !!!... Once i did that my mission loading problem vanished as quick as it came POOF even for the new missions i just installed hmmm... "which still makes me wonder" But for now i'm once more a happy camper YAY :lol: :lol: :lol: by the skin of my teeth. THANKS again for helping me

refugee647,


I am glad that you fixed this.

Will you now keep a copy of the IL-2 build for safekeeping?
