Winter Breakout Mission

[Stixx]

As always, excellent work Ranger,  .
If I really knew how to fly and LA5 or
LW iron, I'd have half a change of hitting
something. This will give me a great
opportunity to practice.

You are indeed an asset to this game, Ranger.

Thank you

[USRanger]

Thank you much fellas.  Special thanks to Wantok for the Wiki work.  Wow, I sounded like Elmer Fudd there.

<S> all.
Downloaded this mission and went to fly it. on the russian side i select a mission click ok and get a crash to desktop. if i fly the german side i can get into the air and fly a circuit but then i crash to desktop. I get the Aces high has stopped working and needs to close message. Any ideas? Cuz from what i can see it's absolutely worth playing. <S> US Ranger and prayers that Combat Tour is around the corner

Yea, for some reason, after being airborne for 4 or 5 minutes, the screen goes white and AHII closes down automatically... Why is it doing that?

[RMrider]

Talon and Angels, you guys are having the exact same problems i was having at first.

I did two things to fix it, not sure which one actually fixed the problem.... but here they are.

One is i re-installed AH, this was to fix my film viewer and attempt this mission.

THe other is, make sure you have a MISSRES folder. In Ranger's missions he has special affects that need to go into this folder, I didnt have this folder because it didnt come with my Big Aces High folder. I had to create one, and once i made one and put the .wav folder into it, the mission worked fine.

If you already have a MISSRES folder and already put the .wavs into it, them im sorry i cannot help.

That was teh problem for me and thats how i fexed it, hope that helped you.

Talon & angel, two things:

As RMrider mentioned above, make sure the folder containing all the .wavs is placed into your AHII->missres folder.  If the missres folder does not exist in your AHII folder, create it, then copy & paste the .wavs folder into it.

Is AHII on your C: drive, or another?  If it on another drive, open the .mis(mission) file with notepad and anywhere you see C: change it to the correct drive for your computer the save it.

That should get you guys all set up.  If not, let me know.

I have the missres folder with the wavs in it. My HTC folder is on my desktop which is C drive. I have the most recent edition of aces high. I fly around on the german side for a bit then game crash. I can't even see the briefing on the russian side.

[USRanger]

You are leaving the .wavs in the folder they came in correct?  The entire folder needs to go in there.  Don't take the .wavs out of the Winter Breakout folder and paste them in the missres folder.  Here is my missres folder:

[Talon07]

Yep that's how i did it. it's weird cuz i get the briefing for the germans and get into flight but it crashes for the russians. and crashes for the germans after half a curcuit.

That was the best mission ive ever played!

Nice ranger

Tried to run this mission and get "Aces high has encountered a problem and needs to shut down blah blah blah.

Raiders mission works fine.

I only have one drive and I have a missres folder, think I got everything in the right place.

I have the latest download of AH2.

Any ideas?

[USRanger]

Hmm, did you remember to load the missn2 map first?  That's the only time I've ever seen this happen(did it myself).  Otherwise, I have no clue bro.  Since Raiders worked for you fine and these two were built the same, it's gotta be something easy you just missed in setup.

[jimson]

Well, I thought I already had the missn2 map for "Raiders". Is it a different map?
