It's a long time since I was involved with CFS2 but I'll help if I can. A lot will depend on which addons you have installed. First of all you might like to check out my CFS2 FAQ page to see if that helps.
http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2faq.htmI remember one problem with the first Fox Four campaign that only affected the German version of CFS2. A fix was posted on the Fox Four site. See Fix 2 here.

One of the addons you have installed is definitely the source of the problem.

Could it be the dreaded aircraft or ship limit number.

I remember an old thread on ship limits..but don't recall if there is one or not.
I do know a corrupted ship file can really screw things up.

True, I am still trying to find the bug in my SHIPS folder that is giving me the heinous pop-up. This is in several installs & doesn't happen with a SHIPS folder which has been mostly emptied. Probably is something simple as usual but I'm having a hell of a time finding it.

I've got over 175 ships in the old SHIPS folder, and nary a peep of protest from CFS2.

However, when the old AIRCRAFT folder hits 98-100, all hell breaks loose.

I just love it when folks ask advice and then just leave you hanging!

The old sod is not quite past it.
Ahhhh, I'm most pleased to find that the rumors of your demise are much exaggerated....mine too.
