SF2NA Open Atlantic Intercept problem

[+Gepard]

I have problems with my Open Atlantic terrain. If someone it does not know, its a pure sea map, no islands, no land. Only carrier ops.

 

No.1 If i try to launch an intercept mission the game makes a CTD. I even cant go to the selection screen for maps, loadout etc. Dont know why. Has someone an idea?

 

No.2 when i try to fly a cap mission no enemy plane is coming. I see the own carrier with escorts and i have also the enemy carrier with escorts. But no enemy planes. Any ideas, how to solve this problem?

Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm having the same problem with the intercept missions on the standard NA Iceland terrain.

 

I've noticed it doesn't tend to happen when flying as the USN, but switch to the Royal Navy and I get CTD.

I can set up to fly as the USN and then within the editor change all the units to Royal Navy equivalents and the mission will run fine.

 

Also noticed that flying as land-based forces such as the RAF the crash doesn't happen.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

 

Thanks!

Have you got RoyalNavy included as FriendlyNation00x in your ICELANDNA_NATIONS.ini?

Yes had set up the nations file with the relevant entries.

 

I have worked out what the problem was (in this case) - the Ark Royal (R09 CATOBAR version) has no defensive guns/missiles. Once I added a token 20mm KAA the intercept missions started to work. No idea why though?

 

I've tried it with a few more RN ships such as the Invincible Class (with Sea dart + guns) and this works fine.

 

Must just be an oddity of the mission setup.

 

Thanks for your help though!

Actually strike that last comment - thought I had this figured but don't.

 

For some reason I can get Royal Navy  intercepts after 1979 in the single missions, but earlier than that the game freezes in the initial menu.

 

I've tried playing with the nations - making the Ark Royal a USN ship, this allows successful loading which allows USN intercept missions to be started from her.

 

I've extracted the Iceland terrain folder, looked at the Nations file which does include RoyalNavy as one of the options. I've also changed the terrain start dates to begin in 1960.

 

I'm at a loss what this might be and wonder if anyone else has had this problem?

 

Thanks
