campaign problem

Postby overland48 » Sun Nov 14, 2004 10:18 pm

My problem is I can't seem to start a new campaign. When I click on the campaign tab then start new campaign input all new info and click ok all I get is this message.  "No British HQs/squadrons can be properly placed with spacing 2 given the current sqadron data and front line shape."  Is anyone familiar with this problem and can you help me resolve ???

hmmmm you got 3 choices:

      1.) Don't start a new campaign
      2.) Do the cure all-reinstall
      3.) My personal favorite - TANTRUM!!!! ;D

Have you been messing with the stock aircraft xdp files or something?
Think this can happen if the Sim can't find certain types of aircraft in it's folders like level_bomber.
Just a try, locate the uisel.xml located in C:documents and settings\yourusername\application data\microsoft\combat flight simulator 3.0 and delete it, it will be newly created when you run the game next time.
You'll have to rtweak any users settings you have applied like custom keyboard commands and the like.

thats a negative, matze. the comands are in the "hz645u6fu7j6rf.XCA" files, ehhhe
i never had this problem in 2 years of playing, dont know what to say other. maybe scenery changes? not enough sirfields to put all squadrons on? too many squadrons on stock scenery? Stock Campaign or "homegrown campaign"

???

Mathias & Jeff, The campaign problem was due to a mistake at the install of the updates. I put 3.1a in first. :-/ I reinstalled correctly and everything is working fine.  ;D

     All I can tell you is to try a reinstall again. Install the game then patch  with 3.1 and then 3.1a. When I followed this procedure all went well. Make sure you meet all game reqirements for your system.
