Every attempt to start up the hanger mission (which works fine on Jay's machine) CDT's on mine. Can someone list the things that will cause the causes of CDT's that are mission related?

I had been in the process of re-writing the loadouts and getting ready to split the plane into to, the B-3 (which is that the model is for) and the more common B-2 version. In the process I renamed the folder and the .sm file. I also looked inside the .sm and found all sorts of references to the older name, including this one right at the top...

/borg/Art/sdoe/media/aircraft/hs129/hs129.sm

That appears to be a complete path, anyone know what that's all about?

There are also a number of other references to the name in the file, should I change all of these? Does anyone know if the string length is saved into the file as well?

I also renamed the .MIS file to the same thing (hs129b3.mis), is that correct? How does the game engine find the mission it wants, is it the one with the same _.sm_ name, or the one with the same name as the _folder_ it's in?

Inside the mission I found only two references to the name of the plane, here:

langUS ( msnName "Hs 129" )

and here:

msnJG400 ( msnCount 1 msnAircraft "Hs129" msnFormation "strVIC" msnLoadOut "Guns" [snip]

I assume the former is a display-only string, does it need to be changed? What about the second one?

Pachy is correct, JG400 is a squadron I included in my 163 Pack, unless you don't have the 163 pack I dont see why it should mess up like that though.

Ok guys, I'll try another squad. Or maybe I'll make a schlatjager squad at some point.

You're right that this shouldn't cause a CDT but it seems to me that _mot_ CDT problems I've seen reported here are mission related.

Anyone know about the internals of the SM though? Do I need to change thos references from "hs129" to "hs129b3" if I rename the folder?

If you change the directory name, you will have to change any texture references to point to the new folder. Also, if you have a hangar mission, this must be renamed to match. Otherwise, you should be o.k.

Ok, so it SHOULD work. I'll assume the problem is squadron related then. But when you say the mission should be renamed to match, match what exactly? The name of the folder it's in, or the name of the .sm file?
