There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This thing of trying to repair a botched up program is just
too much. But I want to thank all of you that have tried to help
me in this time of need.

Go into the mission file and I believe it is like [Unit 18]. Change the Amrockla to "AUS_Matilda_2Flame' or some other tank listed in your mdlnames or objects_dp.
I don't know what is going on with those.
Mine keeps telling me I am missing the AF_SWPBldg01, or, JMK_Kagero.
Both are everywhere that they are supposed to be.
I have them listed in descript.dat, mdlnames, Objects_dp, in their respective foldiers.
I delete *.cdp, filelist.dat, index every single time I build a mission.
There are just lots of things none of us seem to know about CFS2. It is a quirky program from MS.
I WISH, microsoft would just go ahead and release the code on this old program and let the computer gurus here and on other simmer's web sites make it better.
And, I am not holding my breath.

John has been invaluable to me on re-writing the Aces High Missions.
Soon, there will be an update that is perhaps "unquirky"...............
I just wanted to thank him out in the open, in public.

I know it is a pain, literally sometimes........
I have found that if I get impatient and install too much scenery, too fast, without restarting the program and testing it between each, I run into problems.
If, I install too many aircraft, without checking them each and every time before installing others, I run into problems.
The same with ships.
The other things that really get me are the number of aircraft allowed. The number of ships allowed. The limitted size of descrip.dat allowed. The limited size of the mdlnames allowed.
I don't know that I have ever, in all the years I have been in CFS2ing, seen anyone actually publish the allowable size of descrip.dat and mdlnames. All I know is that it seems like there is a limit to each and problems develop from them.
I have not touched CFS2 in a number of months, yet, when I came back into it, many of my installs just seemed to have developed their own problems. The only one I can install ships or infrastructure on is the "Pristine" install of the actual, unmodded CFS2 that I do not touch with anything new. When I bring those layouts and missions over to the newer, modded cfs2, they will not work. I have broken out Cody's manual again to see where I am going wrong.
BTW, I know I said this on the other thread to everyone else, but I just want to thank you for all of your testing and work on these.

John's persistence is commendable. Makes me want to give AH another try too.

"O' I am not done. I have started another install of CFS2 so
don't give up on me. OK!!!!
I have install the "AF_40mm_GM" and in the readme it say's
In the Mission Builder it will move it up with the old CFS1 objects.6. Add the following text at the bottom of the file:
What I need to know is where is this file? I have looked but can not findit.
