Outstanding Ranger All those 38s lined up 4 abreast and the bagpipes....wow! Once again have you increased the enjoyment level for me in AH2. ThankYou

Seems like it would be a good mission but i can never finish it...

About 2 mins after take off everytime at the same spot my Aces High just closes. I have yet to figure out why, any suggestions on what to do?

Try shutting down any un-needed background programs that may be running on your computer. There's alot of stuff going on and the mission may be over working your ram and or processor.

RMrider, try the instructions listed on the first page of this thread by Yossarian. I had the same trouble until i tried this. It's been added to the Wiki too.

...If your Aces High files are NOT installed in the usual C:/Program Files/whatever folder, then what you need to do is to copy the path of where they actually are installed.

Then, use a text editor (I use Notepad because it's easy and it works) to open up the ".mis" file.  Scroll down until you see an "EVENTS" bit, and you'll see there's a file path under that (which will be the default path for where Aces High is installed).  Then, open up the "Replace" thing, and type in the first few bits of that file path you just found, and then replace it with the appropriate bits of YOUR AHII installation.  Once you've done that for the whole file, just save, close, and it should all work...

Thanks guys, ill tinker with it, because all my other missions work this one just doesnt want to go 5 mins into it.

If it's always crashing at one specific spot, I'd suggest manually deleting the mission files (.mis and the resources) then re-downloading and installing again.  Could be a corrupt sound file, for instance.

[RMrider]

yea thats true because it fails at the same spot, about 1 m 30 sec off runway.

Thanks.

[USRanger]

Hmm, which drive do you have AH installed on?

[RMrider]

my C:drive

Thanks.

Might have something to do with a video overload - my card can't handle the total amount of planes in the sky at the same time - i get major skipping - warping - i know it is because of my cheap vid status - it sure looks cool though

Great mission

I would say that might be the reason but this is a brand new very expensive computer that runs like a charm. I would be surprised if thats why, but hey who knows.

Do you have the folder containing all the .wavs in your Missres folder?  Refer to the pic on page 1 of this thread.

[RMrider]

You know i believe i saved everything correctly but i swear i couldnt find the missres folder. I have Vista so its different then say my fathers computer, all his files are under the Aces high main folder. I dont know where to find the missres folder. 

[USRanger]

If it's not in your AHII folder, create it, name it missres, then drop the folder with all the .wavs in there.  You'll be good to go after that.  This is the second time I've read someone say they didn't have the missres folder.  I thought it was with the last AH update and don't remember having to create one myself, but I may be wrong.  Anyway, do that and you should be all set. <S>
