When flying the missions my son updated for Wake got a CTD.When others tried them the same thing happened.Only used the early war.

Need more details if I'm going to be able to help.

Wake (& Marcus) scenery was developed for Shadow Wolf's 2020 Saratoga mission collection.
I know his pack included a DEC '41 "What if" Wake Relief mission.
Either this has never worked for anyone, or ...

UT,

My son added AF 5" and 3" guns,hospital and CP.These were all done according to the map he found.He's flying the Wildcat by Captain Kurt for Wake from Enterprise.When he gets close and approaching to land,CTD.He is using the Wake 41.Nothing is listed as missing as missions load.Captain Kurt had the same problem flying the missions,this also happens with the updated Pen32Win Early Raids.With the stock scenery there was no problems and all the guns and buildings used were still used.

Hiede,

Possible candidates are:

bad gsl file
bad exclude
bad texture
bad landclass

If you can fly the mission with the Wake43 scenery, then it's not likely to be a bad texture or exclude file. Can you fly the mission with the Wake43 scenery loaded?

Can you fly the mission with the Wake41 gsl file unloaded? That would pin it down to a bad gsl file.

Wake41 scenery uses the same stuff apart from 1 corner of the airfield bmp, & a different gsl.

If you can't run the mission with the Wake43 scenery loaded, then that would point me to a bad exclude or landclass file instead of a gsl problem.
 
I've overflown Wake 41 & 43 without any issue, but I'm using Martin Wright's GSLEdit to swap the gsl packages, not GSLMan.

Recently came across a user issue with one of the Huon Gulf gsl packages, it was causing similar CTD issues around Dreger Field.

On the basis that this is the same kind of issue, I've gone back to the original layouts & recreated the GSL using GSLEdit again.

Try these & see if it cures the CTD issue.

My son went back to the stock Wake scenery and everything worked fine.The missions scenery had to be changed to fit the stock scenery.It solved the problem for Captain Kurt also.

Since it's a Holiday weekend we will be on another Island and won't have a chance to check everything until after Monday..We do have the original missions with your scenery on another drive.

Just in case it's a dodgy exclude file, I've also recompiled fresh exclude bgls for both Marcus and Wake.

Overwrite the old ones & try to fly the mission with these instead.
