Only the stock pacific bases show up in Mission Builder, although my airbases.dat file contains additional bases. In fact, the stock airbases.dat file from the CD contains the European bases, I think from CFS1, but they don't show in Mission Builder. The runway numbers are sequential and each entry has a unique ID no. Anyone have any idea what is wrong? I've gone through Cody Coyote's MB handbook but can't find an answer.

Thanks PL but I didn't explain myself very well. I'm using the airbases.dat file from the Fox 4 KW campaign. In Mission Builder the only airbases that show up are the stock Pacific ones and the Korean bases. Although there are a lot more bases listed, they won't show up in Mission Builder. The runway numbers are sequential and the ID nos. are all unique, no duplication. The little square is right at the end of the file. Cody Coyote's MB Handbook explains how to add a base at the end of the file before the little square box. I have done so but it will not show up in MB. Neither will any others listed there except the stock Pacific and Fox 4 KW bases.

Tha answer to your question is that there is nothing wrong at all.

Do all of the bases show up in the Free Flight Start Location dropdown menu? Roll Eyes

I think you will find that they do. Wink

Now back to Mission Builder. If all of the bases are not showing in the Airbases dropdown menu, click on the Op Area button to the right and hi-lite a different Op Area. Now click on the Airbases dropdown again and watch what happens.

You've now answered your own question. Grin
