Moscow Map problems
 

I'm creating a mission using the He-177-A3 bombers on the 'Moscow Map'. When I hit the play button I get the following message:-

'Mission Loading Failed: Mesh 3do/humans/Paratroopers/Russia/mo no.sim not created.'

Can anybody help me?

sounds familar ... at current moment can't remeber the cure for it.

Have you tried using the 512 exe?

Are you running in Direct X? If so, running in Open GL may help.

Moscow Map problems
 

Thanks everybody. I am running Direct X 12 Jackson Ghost, so I don't think I can run in Open GL.
Stugumby - not sure what you mean by 'try using 512 exe'
Sita - obviously there must be a cure for it somewhere? In this upgrade 4.14 I can't use any Moscow map. I have also seen this same message when I try to run some of my older campaigns?? I have a feeling there is something missing on these Moscow maps i.e 3do/humans/Paratroopers/Russia and the game is blocking the start - this might be effecting a lot of players!!!

Thanks again - if anybody has an idea (especially the Daidalos Team), let me know. I have started a campaign with the He-177-A3 operating with KG1 which is coming along very well. KG1 bombed the railway centre at Velikye Luki, 300 miles to the west of Moscow, using 87 He177's flying at 20,000ft - would have made an impressive sight!

I suppose it could be a Daidalos issue, but in the past that error has indicated a graphics/memory limitation to do with textures. OpenGL often works better with textures (including enabling Perfect textures with the right config.ini settings) if your graphics card supports it. I also have DirectX 12 but run IL-2 through OpenGL by selecting it in the in-game graphics options.

In any case here's a link to one of many threads about the Paratrooper issue (Storebror's comment gives some tech explanation of the texture issue):

I noticed using an old mission with version of AI He-177-A3 and enabling one AI group as player flyable He-177-A3 will not let you go beyond briefing/plane setup. You get plane not loading or something. Resolved by creating new flight for player flyable.

Thank you TD for all your work past and present on a most enjoyable and historically immersive sim!

In your conf.ini in the root folder try this under [Render_DirectX] or [Render_OpenGL] whichever your using.

MBR anti shipping
 

MBR is coded as a level bomber, if linked to a moving ship it will go to low and eventually ram the ship like a torpedo. best to use unlinked and it will bobble about a bit and hopefully stay high enough to not self destruct.
