Crash to desktop in Essex campaign

A clue.
From my observation all the missions with the TBF and SBD-3 have an issue. Galvanic ,Wake, etc all CTD. SBD-3 gets off carrier then CTD and TBF CTD before ever loads. All the F6F missions I loaded up fly. The SBD-5 missions seem ok. I flew two of them.

I wish I could even get that far. It feels like a coin flip with the f6f, but the SBD and TBF missions, forget it. And since no error file is generated, it feels like pure guesswork to me.
 
Almost done

I have re-done and test flown 2 of the Wake missions involved - the F6F and the SBD missions. I will work on the TBF mission tomorrow, package all 3 zip them up and post them here and fix the download in the library. I still don't know what the problem is, but I re-did them anyway. Here's a screen shot:

Nice screen shot




Stevo and Highpockets

It is loading the SBD but crashes shortly after , with out an Error log ,
that to me seem,s like an ordinance carry , The bomb load perhaps ,
I would open the DP find the bomb load out call name ,,,
then open the objects dp listing , and verify the same name convention
is present ,, for all the bombs/payloads , specific to that dp ---



quick test , free flight , test each drop of the payloads ,,

airstart ,,
do any of the pay loads selected dissapear ?

yes , then hunt for a missing object dp ,

no , they all select and fall away (thats great),


Shadow Wolf probably has the object dp in his listing , and cannot replicate the CTD ----

Good tip. I may give it a try later today. I love SW missions and it may be as you said. I am a novice at these kind of things and SW will probably find and fix, if it is on his end.
Thanks
 
Here ya go!

Just place these in your CAMPAIGNS and MISSIONS folders, overwriting the old mission files. :wavey:

Thanks for the update SW!

Sarg - I was actually considering a redo of all the ordinance packages, bc whenever I add or deactivate scenery, I get error messages telling me that CFS2 cannot find a slew of Dbolt's ordinances. But when I reboot, everything is there and loads properly in FF and QC. This has happened through several installs.

Trying not to throw too much on top of the pile!

As in a 20 year old game , it,s design limits were capped --- Object Dps may be around 1200 to 1500 ---
before it starts crap out --- check your totals -- and if need be --pull unused dp, s to a hold folder ,
 
Finally getting a chance to try these, thanks again! I'll swing back afterwards, hopefully with good news.

Sarg - I do see that I've got 1071 files in Objectsdp, so if there is still a CTD, I would suspect that you are right. A 20 year old game certainly has its limitations. Then the issue becomes what can be pulled into a temp to allow the missions to run w/o removing necessary ones.

Cross that bridge if/when we get there...
