No.486 Sqn. RNZAF problem;can't access ARMING screen in campaigns and single missions

[mustafa24]

Hi;

As title says game does not allow me to access Arming in briefing screen when playing with no.486 Sqn.,I first encountered this problem with IceFire's Storm Clouds campaigns.Campaigns work without any problems but until mission no.18 when campaign switches from no.486 Sqn to no.3 Sqn I can't access Arming screen.Again it happens when I create missions in FMB with no.486 Sqn.

After some PM's with IceFire,he said;

"One thing you can check...if you play through to mission 3 or 4 of Storm Clouds Part Two you switch from No 486 squadron to No 3 squadron. I remember one person discovered problems with the entry they had for 486 squadron...it does sound similar."

and

"Someone else had that same problem...I don't remember but he had discovered that he installed something custom and that was messing with the display of the 486 squadron and thus the arming screen was messed up. But I just can't remember what..."

I'm running v4.08,installed Il2Stab 6.3 for icon properties and for changing Dgen mission attributes,Il2 MATManager,Enjoyr Patches For NoAddons v3.0,Vtrelut's French Wings Campaign v.7 and hundreds of missions,campaigns.

What may be causing this?Thanks.

That's really strange. The only thing I can think of is perhaps IL2Stab? I don't have that program, so I'm not familiar with what it does, but it's the only one that I don't have that you do. I did recently update my Enjoyr files to 3.1, and I haven't played any mission as 486 sq in a while, so maybe that helped?

I created a dgen campaign as 486 squadron, no problems with arming screen. I also modified one of my single missions and loaded up Storm Clouds, no problems.

As far as what to do about it, try uninstalling IL2Stab, and see what happens, as well as updating the Enjoyr patches. The only other thing I suggest is a re-install of IL-2. Time consuming and a bit of a pain, but it should fix the problem. I wish I could be of more help.

Thanks for your reply;

I did a complete reinstall with backing up user,skins,missions and campaign folders.I directly updated from v4.07 to v4.08 and the problem is gone now but I still wonder what may have caused it.
