LITTLE TIDBIT WITH "FAILED TO INITIALIZE...."

I have had my PTO set up for awhile with odooles of planes and ships and everything was just humming.( I have the CFS2 overlimit installed).
Recently I started to get that "failed to initailize...blah,blah, blah. screen. I figured it was the aircraft because I had tinkering with something and had gone to the CD to look at the original plane and had hit "add" at the screen TO SEND THE PLANES TO A "TEMP" file. So I unloaded all my planes and still got the same results. Then I did the ships, same results. I then remembered that some had trouble with OBJECTS.DP and swapped ALL of them out and replace with just the original file. Still that message! This went on and on.
Somehow, and for some reason, I went back to the "Overlimit..zip " and checked it. Yep all was there like it should be in MODULES. I then figured "what the H--l and swapped the CFSMAP.dll and MPLANNER.dll with newer ones. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somehow the MODULE had gotten changed when I was with the planes!

MORALE; If you "go to the videotape!"( RIP Warner) and get the message check the bloody module file!

Please help us a little more

Dear Fibber, please add the two files you changed from the original - it may just be so that it could help someone else. I, for one do not have those files in "newer" form, but have of course experienced the dreaded message too more than once. This may well become one of those "classic" threads we all go back to again and again, when we get that problem.
Thanks for sharing your experience

That is the clicker right there, the original files and the overload files are the same name!However the files in the Overload...zip replace the originals. So if you went to the MODULES folder before any changes you would see the original files. Replace them and you would see files with those same names and think nothing happened, but it has. That is what had me stumpted for awhile. Here is the file View attachment 35461

Can you still use the Mission Builder with this Patch?

No, unfortunately, but you can have hundreds of aircraft, every ship that has ever been built, and, in my case 2400 objects DP.

I use a separate installation for Mission Builder with the original DLL's and a modest number of aircraft and objects DP.
