Whenever I try to go to the briefing page for Sitka Approach or Executive Tour (in FSX Acceleration), a "fatal error" occurs. Cry

Does anyone know how to fix it? Undecided

Thanks.

This... Is Rio.

Loud and talkative Bengal cat. He's not ours; his owner lives two houses down, but he wanders around the neighborhood getting food and talking to his human friends. He'll sometimes get into a fight if he meets another cat though... But it's rare because he's kicked out all other cats in the neighborhood. He thinks all the houses are his too...

Hi,

have you deleted any aircraft or effects, in particular the Cessna Skyhawk SP Model 172 or the Beechcraft King Air 350

Look for other missions using same aircraft, I think the aircraft can be changed, not 100% sure.

The exec tour is one of my favourites.

regards

Steve

So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

I have done some other missions with the same aircraft. It's all good... Maybe those missions are corrupted?

I've also tried restoring the missions and aircraft folders to the default, but those missions still don't work... Cry

In either of the faulty mission folders, rename the following files
Overview.htm
Overview_Tab.htm

and the copy same named files from a working mission folder to the faulty folder and select that mission from within fsx.
You should get the breifing from the 'good' mission when you select the faulty mission.

Ok, but when I fly mission nothing happens (no one says anything). I land, taxi to where I need to park (I've done the mission before on other computers) and nothing happens... Undecided

Did you copy the htm files from a working mission to the folder of the effected ones? You said yours crashed at the briefing screen?

The mission should still work with wrong htm files but you will get briefing for the 'wrong' mission.

In the exec tour, you should get cockpit prompts and voice saying secretary has a back problem so you have to do your turns without hurting the VIP.

There is a time limit and you must pass each target within limits of how far away you are, I tend to pass each target with them on the left hand side and banked to the left. I fly with either half flaps or full flaps until I have to climb up to meet the shuttle, then use flaps as needed to stay at it's side. Then land as smooth as possible.

Steve

I was talking about Sitka Approach... Sad

I got to the briefing page for Sitka, but when I'm flying it no one talks to me to tell me what to do. There's not even a mission pointer, so it's just like free flight except you can't change aircraft, failures, etc. Undecided

And you've done a repair and still faulty.

Wonder if i'm allowed to email you with working files?
Well, working on my setup.

Not sure I've noticed mission pointer on this one Sad

as it's almost straight in.

Pete?
Any ideas if I'm allowed (read legally) to email said working files
