Lee,

Not sure new ship models will change anything. Baldy revamped the VN Illustrious (thank you Bruce) for me so I could have a go at painting camo on her, so it's a fairly "new" model (FSDS2).

It's got to be some quirk with the set-up. You don't mention where you installed the base CFS 2 (so you can copy & paste for multiple installs). On WIN 7 I ended up using a separate FLTSIMS folder, just to be sure I was beyond the reach of the overly-nervous O/S & it's desire to stop the user changing anything...

I also made sure I ran as Administrator, & used compatibility to XP SP#. To make sure, I looked at the folder permissions too, & checked each copy install.

I applied the 4Gb patch on the exe, it helps with stability, & graphics loading/processing during complex missions. Some of what you describe with Iceberg missions sounds like the PC isn't finishing loading the carrier model in time...?

For each install I set up a desktop shortcut - again I right click & check compatibility & permissions.

I copy the shortcut, & edit the target to launch the Mission-Builder. Again I check OS compatibility & permissions.

Hope this helps.

Hi John,
I have them all installed C:root. None of my flight sims are loaded default.
All are running in XP compatibility mode as administrator.
I have full control over all folders, subfolders, and files in all CFS2 installs.

The VNs are the ONLY ships not loading, and not one will load. I have tried every combination I can think of.
All of my other ships show up in both the sim and MB just fine.
It has to be a quirk in the VN ships somewhere.

I HATE WIN10. MS did us NO favors with its coding.
Pretty soon CFS2 and FS9 are not going to work at all.
That will be okay I guess if they get Prepar3d up and running as a Combat Flight Simulator. It is basically an FSX platform on steroids with lots of government funding through Lockheed Martin and MS as a joint venture.

Lee
