An issue with Stuart277's USS Atlanta?

It seems that I get two "cannot find" errors for model: usn_atlanta_cl51-54_1942m_lod when I open a mission in MB. The mission loads on the work-screen, without the usual offer to "replace with ...?" messages. Upon inspection of the mission, both the Atlanta and her sister ship, USS San Diego are there in position, in formation and with the correct ship types and callsigns. When I then select to fly the mission, I get the same error messages as before, twice, once for each ship. The mission claims to be "improperly formatted or corrupt" will not load and throws me back to the MB main screen!

I originally hand edited her into several mission files in the place of Maxstuka's USS Atlanta II. The same problem occurs in any of the missions I have, using this fine ship in Single Missions too. I currently have 124 ships in my SHIPS folder, but am assured that number is okay. Anyone else have a problem with the new USS Atlanta?

My son used the Stuart Atlanta in the USN 42 Campaign and had no problems.He hand edited the missions when it came out.I just tried a few missions with it and everything worked fine.Maybe you just got a corrupted download,it does happen at times.He also used the 1943=44 model without any problems.

To be on the safe side check the panel folder to see if a place holder is there.If not put 1 in and that should solve the problem.Stuart didn't do this with some ships.

Place holders were the first things I checked. Could it be that there are multiple sets of texture bmp and tga files in the Textures folder that cause the problem?

We have those too with no problems.It should call for the USN_Cruiser automatically.Check another ship with multi textures and see if that works.If there is problem still it might be Win 11 problem.If the ship works with no problems try downloading the Atlanta again.Maybe take out the other textures/I still have Win 7 and XP for gaming.

The "100 aircraft bug" also applies to ships and ground objects. "Dock" some ships and see if the prob goes away

My son has over 200 ships installed in all his CFS2 installs with no problems in any of them.I've stated this many times in the last year or 2.

Allen: I just created a mission in my "virgin" install using the Atlanta with all else being stock - same result. So, I will download the ship again, in case the first was corrupted.
 
Greg,

Just installed Atlanta 42M in a test install - no issues for me. Pic is taken running test mission in Mission Builder...

Zip was downloaded early June this year, desktop is running WIN 7 OS (offline)...
 
Also not getting any problems.

I'd try gettin the model and textures from a stock ship and drop them into USN_Atlanta_CL51-54_1942M_LOD and see if things work. The other thing is that I see a "-" in the file names. Maybe your PC doesn't like "-"in the file names?
 
Fixed the Problem!

It Wasn't the ship or Windows 11. The problem was my Norton AV. After re-downloading the ship, I proceeded to extract the package, Norton gave me a message, saying that the .mdl file was dangerous and was deleted. I hit the restore button and put it back in. The ship works fine now. Upon inspection of the other variants of U SS Atlanta, I saw that indeed the .mdl file was missing. I am posting this so any of you,who have Norton will be on guard against the same "error."

PS: Nice screen shots Allen!
 
Norton. Well, there's your problem. Haven't seen a good thing about Norton in many many years.
