i have a problem and its begening to annoy me,

After i place object groups Like air feilds,
i then go change feild settings and chang all the feilds to bishiops and knights,
but when i start the game no mtter how many airfeilds i placed i only get a1 and a2. And there both on bishiop's side,
whats more the other air feilds act like north and south runways,

how do i get them to be numbered.

a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 a9 a10. and so on,
and after that do i need to do something other than change feild setings to asign airports to difrent country's?

Fields are numbered in the order you place them. So, A1, A2, etc. is automatic.

What you don't tell us is if you "Build" your map after making the changes, and if you copy it to your terrains folder in Aces High.

Your Terrain needs to have 3 Countries.

You should have at least 2 Fields for each Country.
( One should be an Airfield )

You need a HQT ( headquarters ) placed for each Country.

Anything placed as Country should only be Numbered as 1, 2 or 3 nothing higher.

Any Fields placed should be placed in numerical order, don't skip.

The ......... VERY.............first Field placed is field 1, then you got to get rid of the exta tower which is at Grid 10.24 / 10.24.

When a Terrain is first opened, after giving it a name, its surface is all water and the only object in it is, a Tower ( F01twr000 ) at Grid 10.24 / 10.24.

First thing I do when I first start a terrain ( this is after Starting the Editor, Giving the New Terrain Name, Exiting Editor  while Saving and then Restarting the Editor and Opening that new Terrain )
is:

First delete that Tower at Grid 10.24 / 10.24

Place Airfields #1

Place Airfields #2

Place Airfields #3

( Make sure each of these 3 Airfields have a Maproom )

Then

Place Headquaters for Country #1

Place Headquaters for Country #2

Place Headquaters for Country #3

Then Exit the Editor and Save While Exiting.

Then when you restart the Editor things should go a lot more smoothly.
