I down loaded a Luftwaffe campaign that looked as though it might be fun. It had nothing in the zip except for the .mis and .properties files. (No read me)

I created a folder and called Crimea and then dropped it into the de folder, ran Fb, went to start a campaign and did not see it listed.

Next, after looking at the other campaign folders and an on-line tutorial, I created a campaign.ini, info.mis and info.properties.

The campaign now shows up on the “in game” campaigns list. Great I thought! I make my settings and try to start it but the game locks up. Any idea what I've done wrong. (File info posted below. Double checked what I could, but I'm only sure about the campaign.ini .mis's perfectly matching the names of the .mis files in the folder.)

Thanks in advance.

It looks OK, except for the info.mis file which should not be needed. I've never had one.

If you send the whole thing to me I'll take a quick look at it.

Just out of curiousity, where did you get the campaign?

Thanks Zeus-cat. It's on the way.

crucislancer, I can't give you a helpful answer. I found it today while googling around the net looking for FB sites that offered campaigns. All I do remember is that it came from some obscure site that I didn't remember every visiting before. Note that it only came with the .mis and .properties files, nothing else.
Sorry

That's cool, no worries.

I figured out the problem. It looks like these missions were intended as a series of coop missions; not a single player campaign. None of the missions has a Player aircraft selected.

Thanks again Zeus-cat.
