SFP1 Solomons Custom Mission Fails Before 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 CombatAce members) 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 a glaring 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. ne thing I did notice is that the Bettys mission is set as RECON without an ObjectiveID= line. Does this matter?

 

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 SFP1 mission as I downloaded it:

I would recommend double checking your plane file names they have to match exactly,I've seen something like that keep an entire campaign from starting.
