As for the mission you are probably are missing Objects the other properties plus AC that will not allow you to run the mission properly!:isadizzy:

The best way to fix it is to read the instruction carefuly first before you go flying in the mission and then try to fix them through the Misson Builder.:ernae:
 
BOB Campaign

Highpockets,

Is it the Russ BOB campaign that you are having trouble with? If so, you are not the first as the readme file doesn not cover all of the issues that you are dealing with.

Stitz, one of the Faithful here wrote these fixes up in a thread about the campaign a couple of years ago. I hope these will help somewhat.

-------------------------------------------

I swear i'm going to do a patch for this campaign someday.......

These are the errors that are included in the campaing and how to fix em:
1, You will need to install the cfs2bob.zip available in the CFS2 Scenery at SOH (haven't checked here) to get the buildings round the airfields
2, You will need a panel folder in the Dornier_Do17z2. I just used the one from the Stuka so that it'll show
3, You need the Bri_Pilot so you dont get an errorr when the games loading the Hurricane. Its not urgent but its a good thing to have.
4, You need the YAS_Pack to have all the gauges displayed in the 2D and 3D panels. It can be found in the CFS2 Aircraft section at SOH at the bottom
5, The dp in the Ju 88A-14 needs fixing so the wepons will load. All you need to do is go down the payloads section and get rid of the "wep_" (without quote marks) bit.
6, Get the YAS_MK1_Fix to fix the spit. Can find it in the CFS2 Aircraft section at SOH.
7, You will need a Blenheim and name it raf_blenheim for the camapaign to load mission ** (cant rember the number)
8, The BF109 doubles when shot down, just go throught the dp and get rid of the numbers after the BREAK lines in effects.
I know that theres more cos i had a list for it..
Hope this helps
Stiz
 
Bob

Is it the Russ BOB campaign? If so, it was set up with self-installers and thus the readme file does not cover the minutia of the campaign. The author did a remarkable job compiling all the planes and scenery as well as all the missions, but many others have reported similar glitches with the campaign.

Thre are a few scenery files that you will need to activate via the "Settings>Scenery Library>Add."

They are: Calai, CFS2BOB, GZR_Base2001 and GZR_Cherbourg

Stitz posted these tips on the campaign a few years ago:

Thanks to your tips, some of the issues were resoved. However, I need gc_bf110gz_zertoerer and gc_bf110gz_schlachtflugzeug for "Assault on Portsmouth" and "More Raids over Kent" Wher would I find these?
Thanks
