I thought about creating a mission or two for the squadron, but I dun gots a pob'em it seems.
I press the FMB button in the game and the blue map page comes up, but there are no maps available and the page won't exit. The only option I have is the EXIT under 'Files'. I need to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to exit.
So, am I missing some files or what. No hurry. Just a thunk.
thx

Modded or standard?
could be a missing "maps.ini"? for map mods.
no load/save mission either?

no load, no save mission
under 'edit' is only 'delete all'
and a few things under 'view'
I don't see a maps.ini file out in the open
unmodded at the moment
I swap the files.sfs, filelist and il2fb files manually when I switch.
thx

If you switch to "details" it'll show as 4,442KB
("properties shows 4.33 MB (4,550,656 bytes))
2003 !!!! ? check your e-mail for 4.08 exe
12 February 2003, 15:46:50 exe should be =3.65 MB (3,833,856 bytes)
But thats pre 4.08

It worked!
Putting words and things into the bldconf.ini folder works MUCH better than having it empty.
Let that be a lesson to all of you!
thx again Snee,
Falcon
