SFP1 Custom Intercept Mission Failed PRIOR to Takeoff

SFP1 Edward's Solomons campaign.

 

I found an interesting custom mission titled "Kill Yamamoto". I had some difficulty loading it at first but managed (with help from here) to figure out what the problem was. I fixed that and now it loads OK.

 

File this mission under "Remarkably Hard To Win"

 

The mission begins on the runway. The instant I pop into 3D and find myself on the runway, Red Crown notifies me our mission has failed and recommends we RTB. RTB?? Hmmmm. A quick glance around and it is abundantly clear we haven't even LEFT the base yet. How did we fail? I guess someone just forgot to say "May I?"

 

I loaded the mission into notepad and into KMD and I cannot see an error. Since I am a novice I could easily have missed it. Is anyone familliar with this glitch or have a suggestion where to look for a fix? I just ignore RC, takeoff anyway, shoot down Yamamoto and his escort and complete the mission but it makes no difference. I am unfairly (I think) credited with a failed mission.

 

This and one more custom mission for the Korea campaign are the only two custom missions I have found for SFP1. Naturally I am considering creating a few of my own. That is easier to do with the built-in editor in SF2 no doubt but I don't have it.

 

Here is the mission:

The target is set as a Recon Flight. Have you tried setting it as a Strike Flight?

Thanks for responding.

 

No, I haven't tried that. Since it is a "Friendly" intercept mission I didn't think it mattered what the "enemy" goal was. The Bettys have no target. I had considered giving the Bettys Henderson Field as a Recon target. I appreciate the tip. I'll give that strike idea a go.

OK, I made the changes from RECON to STRIKE and ran the revised mission. Instant failure of the mission once again. It comes to me there is no "objectiveID=" line for the Bettys as RECON or STRIKE. Could that be the problem?.
