I downloaded a CFS1 mission, Nachtjagd, and am having trouble getting it to run.  Message comes up in CFS that there was an error loading the mission and that it may be formatted wrong.  A notepad version with the problem appears in and it reads:
[Mission file error]
error=Unit type ID 3001 not found (specified for unit 1012)
title=Nachtjagd 1944 I/NJG1
filename=MISSIONS\Venlo`44

Looking in the mission file itself, unit 1012 is:
id=1012
type_id=3001
name=%name_string.7%
position_lat=
position_lon=
position_alt=
position_pbh=
speed=150
skill=0
level=0
points=0
damage=0

The mission also shows that these aircraft are available:
player_aircraft=3003
allowed_aircraft=3001,3003,3004,3005

How do you know where and when an a/c has been loaded and what its 4-digit number should be?

Thanks.

Hi Raybakerjian. The most common cause of problems with missions is that 3rd party aircraft used in the mission are missing or not installed correctly. This will give you the error message you describe.

The

Is this mission part of a Nachtjagd package by Richard Rubio?
If so, I have the same mission but it's different from yours even though the title is the same.

Here's the info in the one I have;
[unit.7]
id=1012
type_id=3100
name=%name_string.7%
position_lat=
position_lon=
position_alt=
position_pbh=
speed=150
skill=0
level=0
points=0
damage=0

And the Unit type_id=3100, which is;
[unit_type.2]
type_id=3100
unit_family=2
name=Lancbbmf
allegiance=3
gun_ammo=13000
cannon_ammo=0
rocket_load=0
bomb_load=30
addons=0000000000000000000000000000000

This is the Lancaster that Richard Rubio included with two missions in his package.
There are three aircraft included with the version I have and the folders have to be placed in your CFS aircraft folder.
There is also some scenery to install.

If you would e-mail me a copy of the mission you have I'll take a look at it.
