Evening gentlemen (I use the term loosely, don't want to offend anyone) question on double taps smackdown mission. I prefer this mission to rr especially with the new AI behaviour. Makes for one hell of a furball. Problem is I want to edit the mission to change my flyable aircraft but when I try to open the mission I get an "can not read mission file" error. Same happens for the allied version as well. Am I doing something wrong here?? The mission loads and play's great in the game. any sugestions would be appretiated

Late answer i know, but - if you still didn't manage to solve it - try deleting the .msnbin file which is the binary version of the .Mission file - perhaps the mission is older and the binary format changed.

Wow Laser, that was it!Thanks for your help my friend.
