I'm new to building missions but tried to do so using MB in PTO. But, when I try to fly this mission it errors to the desktop. How can I find out why?
I copied the mission xml file if it helps someone answer my question, and thanks.

Did a check with xmlwrench and your "file is well formed and is valid".

Your mission worked in my heavily modded solomons and is okay. It would not work in my stock unmodded solomons, got an error that the aircraft fm2p is not recognized. This means I do not have that particular wildcat installed in my stock solomons theater.
 
Thanks. Where do u get xmlwrench? I have used other DL'd missions that use the fm2p so I'm stumped. I'll try a different AC and see how this mission performs.
 
I dl'd the fm2p Wildcat from AVHistory long time ago,. It is an AC in many of the Solomons missions. But, I noticed that the country for this AC is USA, but I changed it {(xdp file) to US Marines. Does the country designation have an effect other than where the ACs are listed?
