Hi,

In my ultra-customized DBS 76 campaign, I have a problem

The squadrons are not recognized by the squadronlist.ini

It works with the Vietnam campaign and others, but not with the DBS campaign.

So I get "VMA27" instead of "VMA-27 Royal Maces", for example.

The same squadron is displayed correctly in the air ground expansion pack vietnam campaign

Any ideads?

Should it not be "VA-27"? That said, I would check in the Campaigndata file if the respective unit entries are called squadron=VA27 or unitname=VA27. The first entry refers to the squadronlist, while the later will make the unit name show in the campaign as it's stated in the campaigndata.

That's just the obvious stuff, must not necessary be the explanation.

Found the culprit, it was "unitname", not squadron in the DBS76.ini

 

Thx
