I've installed a GC Swordfish campaign with more scenery, aircraft, objects, effects, etc. CFS2 works, but every time I load on Mission Builder it comes up with a message saying "Failed to initialize database...." Could be the scenery. If it doesn't ever work my CFS2 career may be over :'(

Hi Bombardier. It's quite possible you've exceeded the limit on installed aircraft. Check out my CFS2 FAQ page. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2faq.htm

The best way over it would be a duplicate install of CFS2. Rename the CFS2 directory folder to any other name. Insert the CD & install in the usual way. You will now have 2 separate installs of CFS2 that will work independently. Providing you have enough space on your HD this can be repeated as many times as you wish. I have 3 installs of CFS2 right now & will soon need another one for beta testing a brand new campaign. You can use different installs for the various theatres (eg. CFS2 Europe) or keep one for your 3rd party campaigns.

Thanks Hagar. I'll try that. Can you tell me how to do the duplicate install? PS: How long have you been on Simviation Forums for, geeeeesh ?

Cheers

Hi Bombardier. I've already told you how to do the duplicate install. Read my previous reply again.

I've been here under one name or another since before this forum existed.

Ooops, I'm silly for not seeing that (must be these d:-Xmn sunglasses lol) Thanks again. It could be my problem.
