Pickup Mission Editor - Waypoint Creation/Movement

[DubiousKB]

Last night whilst trying to setup some Pickup Missions, I  loaded a previously saved Pickup Mission, but when I went to add way points for a given flight and/or attempted to move that established way point using Shift+Click, the game froze up on me.

I attempted to replicate it once I got back into the game (having to ctrl+alt+delete close out the non-responding application), as soon as I attempted to add a way point the game crashed.

I tried from an airfield, then from a CV. Each time if i was able to set a way point, i couldn't adjust that way point without the game crashing. The next time as soon as I attempted to place a waypoint, the game crashed.

I even tried to create a brand new pickup mission thinking I maybe had some weird artifact from AH2, I still encountered the same behavior.

I'll give it another try tonight. . . Strange.  Any idea's?

Did the game leave a *.dmp file in the temp folder?  If so, ZIP it up and post it.

I'll try it here tonight/over the weekend. Anything else I should include like a DXDIAG?

This may not be exactly the same problem, but I locked up in the mission editor last night. 

Somewhere around jumping between flights and trying to get the dropdown menus to jive with the planes chosen.  Here's a dump file when AHIII finally quit:

Here are a couple screen shots with downright odd loadout options.  It looks like some object pointers aren't getting cleaned up when changing plane types.

Trying to add P51 flight after having added B24 flight:





Checking loadout on B24. Plane rolled with correct ordnance ( 8x1000 lb )



I was filming while using the editor, if that film will help, I can upload it.

<edit>  Not sure if the film will do any good.  I don't see where it shows the clipboard in the viewer for when I was in the mission editor.

I have not experienced any issues moving the waypoints from within the PM editor since 3? updates/patches ago...


Further to APDrone's comments, I've experienced issues when trying to load a mission, then tailor it to the map. Seems like you need to re-iterate all settings for a given flight if you change the airfield origin.  The drop-down menu's seem to hold their options even though you've selected another flight (like from a fighter to a bomber), the fighter is still showing bomber drop-downs... Not huge, but worth a peek maybe?

Now if I can only get players to actually join we'd be all set...
