I'm having the same problem. Going into the FMB, the Me-262 flight is initially not checked as "AI only". Checking this, and that the desired Bf-109G-6Late flight isn't checked as AI only, and that the first 109 only is checked as "Player Aircraft", gets the mission to work out of the FMB (selecting "Play"), but the error still occurs in the campaign. Deleting the 262's from the mission in FMB results in the player being placed in Hartmann's aircraft in the campaign (number 2), despite no other changes to the mission. Only by reducing the number of 109's to "1", can the player fly the intended aircraft in the mission from the campaign screen. None of the misassigned plane problems occur when flying the mission as a stand-alone from the FMB, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Just to check, the same thing happens in the next mission in the campaign (I'm flying in Hartmann's aircraft in the airstart over Slovakia.)

I don't know where the problem lies, but this campaign isn't quite ready for prime-time. Hopefully some of the campaign maestros will stop by and point out what we're doing wrong. I'm also running EnjoyR's DGEN mod (v4.0), which might be part of the problem. Keep at it, this looks promising, if I can actually get to fly the intended aircraft.

P.S. I'm also running v4.09b1m of the game from the '46 DVD.

Thanks for your feed back blottogg. I have been testing the missions in the FMB to try and simulate the problems you are having - I think I have found the answer!

If you go into your FMB then open Mission (1) - click on the Me262 route (the route starts flashing and an object box appears) In the object box change the 'Army type' from 'German Army <none> to Jv44 (scroll down to find Jv44). Do the same for Mission (2)

I think what has been happening is that I had 'German Army <none>' checked for both the Me262A-1a and Bf109G-6 giving them either flight 1 or 2 under the 'German Army <none>' check box. Somehow the program is then puting you in the wrong aircraft?

By changing 'German Army <none>' to an actual Jagdgeschwader (JG or Jv) this puts you in the correct aircraft for each mission. Each flyable aircraft type must have a different JG/Jv number for some reason?
There appears to be some type of programming problem, though somehow it has not caused an issue in my system?

Let me know how you go? If the problem is fixed, I will go through the campaign and change the JG numbers and issue ver.1.02

that's it...it works!
 

Hi dflion!

It works:mrgreen:. Once you assign the right squad to the Me 262 and the G6, the game puts you into the G6 driver seat!

Great campaign! Those 4.09 maps are really great!

Cheers,

Thanks Eckhart - we have a fix.
Glad to hear you are enjoying the campaign. I will check all the missions and change any where required, then issue ver.1.02.

dflion, that fix works for me, too. One other question, are you supposed to start the campaign with a specific rank? I started the first time at Oberfeldwebel, which is what caused my problems within the formation. Starting again as a Major seems to have fixed this, at least for two-ship formations. Maybe something mentioning starting rank more prominently in the ReadMe for dimwits like me who didn't read the short campaign description.

Thanks blottogg, glad to hear everything is now working ok.
You select the highest rank in this campaign 'You are totally in charge of your Jagdgeschwader'.
Let me know how you are going with the campaign, especially flying on the Slovakia map.

i will give this method a go too. so far i've only been able to get into some missions through the full mission builder. others won't open. it looks promising though. love the new skins for the spits, p-51s and tempests.

hmm - can't see a jv44? tried changing to another and still couldn't get working? maybe i'm a bit slow?

Ctrl E - Jv44 is very easy to miss when scrolling down through the German (Squadrons) - it is not with the (JG's).

Anyway, I have solved all the problems you have been having - ver.1.02 should appear very shortly on Mission4Today.

In this version, I have allocated the correct JG number for each Schwarm for all missions in the Campaign, so this should fix everything up.

I have just flown mission 19 (over Hungary/Austria) for the third time (you are up against La-7's, including 1 Ace) -I am getting better with each mission - 'nailed' a few more, flying the great 'Dora'.

There's a similar problem with mission 24. Both the 109G-14's and the 190D-9's are assigned "German Army <none>" in the mission. You'll need to go into the FMB and reset them to "II/JG52" and "I/JG6" respectively, or else you wind up being put in the G-14's by default.
