Mission buiding for DPC Korea

What mission builder would I use to build a Korean mission?
There is a CFS3 mission builder in my DPC Korea files but it is the one copied over from the stock CFS3 and the landscape is Europe.
 
I don't remember how does it work.

Usually, when you install an add on from a pure stock CFS3 + MB install, the MB should work in the installed add on. I haven't installed a MB for years now.

I have only trouble with it in BoB add on, don't know why but I haven't done any troubleshooting.

Your mission builder is pointing to your stock CFS3 install. What you have to do is:

Right click on the mission builder shortcut in your korea install.

Select properties

You will find the following fields with a similar directory path


Target: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3\mb\mb.exe"

Start In: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3\"

Edit the path to match your korea install directory path.

If you installed korea in a child folder of "Microsoft Games" all you will have to edit is the text in red.

After you make the changes make sure to click the apply button and then close the window by selecting OK.

yup.

Go to the mb folder in the uires folder. Replace the mbsplash.bmp with a 800 x 600 .bmp of your choice.

No matter which way I edit Target Path or File Path, I get
Target Path invalid or File Path Invalid or both. This is on my Windows 7 machine.
On my Vista machine, there is already a Korea Mission Builder folder but when I try to open it or start it, File Cannot Be Found!
 
You need to enable viewing of hidden files and folders.

Windows Explorer, top left corner, Organize button - Folder and search options - View tab. I think it's the same for Vista.

I usually have Show Hidden Files and Folders checked and I went into Control Panel
and into Folder Options - View - and Yes, Show Hidden Files and Folders is checked. Bum steer.:isadizzy:
 
Hi Rich,

It sounds like you dont have the mission builder installed in your DPC Korea install.

open your DPC Korea main install folder and check you have the following folders.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\DPC CFS3 Korea\mb

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\DPC CFS3 Korea\uires\mb

if you do not have those two folders then you need to install MB into your DPC install.

I have just had to do this while trying to figure out why you may not be able to get the new path to take in the shortcut edit.

Simply copy the same folders listed above from your stock CFS3 install and place them into your DPC Korea install folder (being carefull to put the right MB folder into each spot, dont mix them up). then make a copy of the short cut for the stock CFS3 MB and edit the path to match the DPC Korea install path.

Target: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\DPC CFS3 Korea\mb\mb.exe"

Start In: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\DPC CFS3 Korea\"

This is exactly what I have just done to get MB working in my copy of DPC.

HTH's

Believe this or not,
CFS3 Mission Builder does not get installed when I install CFS3 on my Vista PC.
I have 4 CFS3 installs with the patches currently on this machine in 4 different locations which I
move to the different locations after installing CFS3 in the default location (Program Files). There is NO
Program Files (x86) in Vista.
Like, after installing CFS3 and adding Firepower, I cut and paste it to another location. etc. Then I can
install another copy of CFS3 again.

On my Win7 PC, CFS3 Mission Builder gets installed as it should.

I downloaded CFS3 Mission Builder from the same location that I get the patches so
I am ready to proceed without any more problems, I hope.
 
Where does win7 hide bdp's and how does one remove all the 'read only' attributes so I don't have to play little tricks all the time when editing??? :banghead:

Yeah, :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I put Win7 to sleep for now and, like I said, I'm on my Vista machine.
I downloaded the CFS3 Mission Builder from Microsoft and put it in the CFS3 directory. Then I uninstalled DPC Korea
and reinstalled it to pick up the Mission Builder that had been missing in CFS3. Now when I clicked on the Mission
Builder in DPC Korea, wallahhhh . .
