Next time it would be smart to throw in the map with the rar/zip file. I try to do that when putting missions on my site.

dudee with some research I have found out that this is an AVA map. If you play the AVA at all that is probably where you got it from. This map looks as though it was created in 11/2006 and it does not look like it ever made it to the download page. Look in your ahiiterrains folder in the aces high 2 folder and see if the exe file is in there.

the .exe file?
You mean .res file?

don't the terrains need to be installed from an exe file. that is the way that they are downloaded from the download page. Then they have to be installed from there. Iwas not aware that you could just download the .res file that would be sufficient.

but hey i'll try it

the .exe file may be an auto installer...all you do is plop the .res file into the terrains folder though.

ok dudee did you find the res file it should be labeled pto_1 in the ahiiterrain folder. which is located in the aces high folder.

Where does the .fla file go. I have downloaded the mission..placed it in the missions folder, I placed the map in the misres folder and I'm still getting an invalid mission.

The map goes in the "ahiiterr" folder, the mission (i.e, the ".mis" file) in the "offmis" folder, and I'm not sure about the ".fla" file, but I think that it goes in "ahiiterr" folder as well.

I now can get the map up but can not choose a flight. An error box shows up and says choose a flight...however...there are no flights to choose from. As stated above, I placed the .mis file in the offmiss folder, the map into the ahiiterrain folder as well as the .fla file. There were other .fla files in there as well so it must be in the right spot. The possible flights for the P40E or the Ki will not appear. HELP PLEASE!!

Sorry, I'm not sure about this.  If you have mission editor, check that the "Display flight in arena" box is ticked (under the Flight Properties), but I doubt this is the case.

Best of luck in getting it to work,

follow yassarians advice, go to the editor, check in *show up on arena*

I will go back and fix this, and upload it :D

Go to the main page and select the terrain "ndisle" then select offline missions and then practice missions and it should show up.

The island is called Iwo Jima, not Iwa Jima.
