Mission Issues

[Flamingskull5000]

It's come to my attention that I seem to lack some desirable missions in ETO. I downloaded several mission packs for ETO this morning including House Hobbit's p-47 pack. Having unzipped everything and placing in the proper folders, I dropped the mission files into the 1943 mission folder. Running the ETO Era swap I select 1943 and when the sim launches there are no missions to select although they are in the folder?

Are the missions dated for 1943?

 

[Flamingskull5000]

Yes they are!

See PM for some info. I must admit I looked back to 2007 but stopped there. I saw a lot which I had forgotten about. If I ever get around to actually playing the sim.................

Thanks Mongoose!

Wow, now I'm slipping further into the abyss. The Era Swapper won't change era's and I'm stuck in 1943 with no missions!

Do you know how to change era's manually? Open the era bat file (use right click edit) and see all the files it changes if you don't. Once you are out of era 3 see if the missions for that era are back.

 

[Flamingskull5000]

I'll try that right now!

always do the rename to era 3xxxxxxxxx before you rename to just xxxxxx for what era is replacing era 3. Also double check what mission folders are around the install as should be 5 even if wrongly labeled.
