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?

Have you tried using the 512 exe?

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

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.

TexCompress=2
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1

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.
