Airbases.dat File

[investdude]

Only the stock pacific bases show up in Mission Builder, although my airbases.dat file contains additional bases.  In fact, the stock airbases.dat file from the CD contains the European bases, I think from CFS1, but they don't show in Mission Builder.  The runway numbers are sequential and each entry has a unique ID no.  Anyone have any idea what is wrong?  I've gone through Cody Coyote's MB handbook but can't find an answer.

I did some digging.

Ok what i have found is 4 or 5 addons. here are the links. go through and read them. get what you want then have fun  i'm not sure if this includes everything your looking for but seems like most of europe is covered by them.

Thanks PL but I didn't explain myself very well.  I'm using the airbases.dat file from the Fox 4 KW campaign.  In Mission Builder the only airbases that show up are the stock Pacific ones and the Korean bases.  Although there are a lot more bases listed, they won't show up in Mission Builder.  The runway numbers are sequential and the ID nos. are all unique, no duplication.  The little square is right at the end of the file.  Cody Coyote's MB Handbook explains how to add a base at the end of the file before the little square box.  I have done so but it will not show up in MB.  Neither will any others listed there except the stock Pacific and Fox 4 KW bases.

Tha answer to your question is that there is nothing wrong at all.

Do all of the bases show up in the Free Flight Start Location dropdown menu?

I get what your talking about.

what bases do you want. they are all there. you just have to add the Lat, Long, and Alt. here are some that i have added for my own use (and hopefully my campaigne)
just change the runway number and the id to what ever your order is. if you have the handbook then you know what i'm talking about.
