Maybe if you bought your wingmen a round of beer at the club after missions they would watch your 6 in a pinch?

Need help. Love this game, but my missions and kills are not recorded! When I finish a mission in campaign, I get this error message: "Error saving pilot dossier or log file" Then I click OK. Then a series of 3 windows pop up and I have to click OK on each one. They say: "X=7", "C=2" "GS squadron pilot number: 12" I have tried everything. I Reinstalled CFS3 and I Reinstalled OFF. In Workshops, I Reset CFS3 and I did Reset/Install OFF. I have done all of this twice. I am using the latest patch. I have had this problem for 3 months over all the recent patches. Ack! Sometimes if I only get 2 or 3 kills, there is no problem and it records the kills and I advance. But if I get more than about 3-4 kills or if I get ground kills or spotter kills too it will not record them and I get that error message. Kind of takes the fun away if I can't advance. My computer setup: Version: OFF Phase 3 with newest 1.28a patch. Windows Vista 64-bit, Intel quad core 2.5 GHz processor, 8 GiG RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT, 1 TB hard drive. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

Good news! Patch 1.30b solved the problem! I want to greatly thank OBD support for their excellent customer service and after sales support. Good comms and quick action. Yet another reason why this game is in a league of its own. You guys rock Dez

Polovski, As you suggested, I just emailed the support email address with my OFFLog.txt and the contents of my campaigndata\pilots folder. I have not tweaked or edited anything in the pilots dossier. I tried clearing the log in OFF to see if it would help but did not. Do you need to know what settings I have in workshops? Thanks for the info about autotrim. I sure hope there is some way to fix the error saving pilot dossier or log file. Thanks for the help, Dez

That happened to me a couple times but I think I may have had auto trim on. Have not had that happen lately. But lately when I finish warping my aircraft goes into a rapid and steep 90-degree dive and I must pull out hard to straighten out. Very strange. Dez

Still never records kills. Just finished a magnificent mission where I shot down 6 enemy aircraft including a couple of two-seaters, but it will not save progress or record kills. At my wit's end. Noticed the error message changed slightly. Says "OFF Manager" at top and: "Error Saving Pilot Dossier or Log File" X=2 C=2 GSquadronPilotNum: 14 Situation: 29 July 1917, 10 Sq RNAS, Flanders, Droglandt, Sopwith Trike with Twin Vickers. This time I noticed time did not advance so I may have been mistaken in my last post when I said time advances. I also forgot to mention an additional problem: when I come out of warp the aircraft immediately goes into a steep 90-degree dive towards the ground and I must pull out hard to right the aircraft. Anyone else ever have that? Also, I sometimes warp through an entire mission (patrol type) and never encounter an enemy aircraft. Is that normal, or a part of my overall problem? cheers, Dez

I still have the same problem. If I get more than about 2 kills it will not record the victories but time still advances. Thanks for the suggestions Polovski but I checked everything. No change. (full admin on Vista, OFF Manager set to XP compatability mode, regional language set to US English). Always the same error messages say "OFF Manager" at top and: "Error saving pilot dossier or log file" "X=7" "C=2" "GS squadron pilot number: 12" I did a full wipe and re-install of everything (CFS3, OFF, and patch 1.3). Several times I also reset CFS3 in Workshops and deleted all pilots. Date/squad/location does not matter because I have this problem with any pilot I create (German, French, Brit, etc). Right now I have 10 Sq RNAS Droglandt 29 July 1917. cheers
