Malta Spitfire missions

SOH-CM-2025
Here I am again. I cannot get the missions to initialize in the Malta Spitfire 2 missions by Rami. All the other missions in my MTO install work OK. Could the problem be in the A/C folder not matching the names or names in the missions file?
I need some schooling on what is supposed to match up. ie A/C folder name=model name, MDL,& aircraft in A/C folder=mission unit name=?? etc, etc. Rami, I did follow your instrucions on renaming particular aircraft in the install instructions.

Also are there any detailed instuctions on using the Aircraft Manager. Do I need to make a separate A/C for each texture and then remove those I don't use? Or can all the textures not used be placed in a "Copy of textures" folder in the A/C folder?
Last time I used the A/C manager(today), I placed all my Pacific A/C except the Zero in a Hanger and when I tried to start up my MTO install it told me it could not find those planes that I just removed and it would not load.

Hate to be so "blankity blank" dense:kilroy: Certainly appreciate the help from ALL!

Highpockets,

Did you check and see if the Spitfires work in Free Flight first? There is a small problem with them which needs to be corrected before using them.

Check the sound alias in each of Bruno's Spitire packages. That's likely what's giving you fits. Lawdog's got a good mid/late Merlin soundpack.
 
The BSK Spitfires have .wav sounds in the folders and are not ailised that I can tell. They fly OK in free flight.The free flight asks for Spitfire_MKVb_ John Bisley, but the A/C folder is named MK_MKVb_ John Bisley as well as the Missions folder. I tried changing the name of the A/C folder, but that did not work.
The free flight says the visual model cannot be displayed. The Model and the MDL file shows it as YAS_MKVb_Bisley as does the aircraft file.

Highpockets,

I don't know what version you stumbled across, but it's REALLY old. I did an updated version of this campaign just this summer with Brunosk's Spitfires.

Also, as I stated, both of Brunosk's Spitfire packages have a minor flaw in them...the aliasing that Brunosk used for his own versions he left in the uploads by mistake.

It looks like this...

[fltsim]
alias=\..\Moteurs\P-51_Sound

To fix this, just replace it with some Merlin sounds by Lawdog: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5212
 
OK Rami, I'll work on them.
I D/L this mission into my files sometime ago and did not know it was updated. Thanks again. I will keep you posted.
I am down for the evening.
 
I am still having the dreaded "Error loading mission file" after reducing my A/C to 69, installing later version of Rami's Malta spitfire missions, placing the merlin engine sound in BSK spitfire. Free flight and QC are working. What am I missing??

Hughpockets,

Check and make sure that every player-flyable aircraft used you can fly in Free Flight, and check to make sure that you have all the objects and ships installed, INCLUDING what is required for the Malta scenery.
 
Rami
I found a couple of problems with flyable A/C and they all now fly. Still having error loading mission and am checking all the scenery objects now.
Question: On the Sky Unlimited TRU BF 109, one folder is SU_BF109F_2 and the other TRSU_bf109_trop. What should they be named in order to be recognized?
I followed your instructions on copying the separate .cfg, .air and .dp files and named the new folder SU_BF109F_2. Should the other one be named SU_BF109F_4 without the trop?
