Fairey battle 1699 XPD file AI

[Emile]

Hello,
At start of the game receive an error popup "Could not load XDP file ......
The file may be corrupted or otherwise invalid"

An image is beter than many words.

BTW I have downloaded again and reinstall = same result.

I wonder why it doesn't do that on mine. You must have the export version... Let me look.

I couldn't find the trouble, but there was one - mine wasn't loading correctly either.

Anyway, these'll fix it - delete the existing XDPs and BDPs (there shouldn't be any BDPs, but I'd rather you looked in any case!)

SOLVED !!:salute:

Found the reason.

<Description String="1% - W40 Fairey Battle Mk II 1699 "3", unknown unit, RCAF

Big no no in XDP files, those! Put in normal apostrophes and it'll load all right. Nigel's new version is simpler, only saying "Fairey Battle Mk II 1699 RCAF".

Of course! Brain slowly decaying...
