Thanks for the reply. Avatar, the application works totally separately from the game. You can enter what you want, it's ap to you. I understand that. What did I type that gave you the impression I didn't? (Trying not to repeat the same error here) Ddin't you delete the mission before trying to write a combat report? I'm supposed to delete the mission I just flew before entering in the data/info into the combat report? If so, I didn't know that. But this is the 3rd mission I have and haven't deleted one of them yet and have all 3 missions in my missions' folder still to choose from. Is there some instruction somewhere that I just haven't found that outlines the exact steps needed in order to have this work correctly? I've read the first post and scanned through the thread a little bit but haven't found anything for dunces such as myself. I thought I had it right initially but obviously I don't. Thanks again.

Avatar: The error occurs when the RoFCampaign mission description file (not to be confused with any of the RoF files) is not there. ROFCampaign creates the mission description file when you create a mission. It is deleted when you enter mission results. Thanks for the reply Pat. I'm really appreciating the hard work you've put into this! 1. Maybe you already flew that mission and entered the results ... or accidentally entered results without flying the mission. Nope, though I did start to fly it and had to exist out before finishing as I had unexpected company one night and thus ended prematurely. But I definitely didn't enter in any data. 2. The file got deleted some other way. I guess that's it but I'm clueless as to how! Workaround: Create a mission but don't fly it. Enter results for the mission that you just flew. Create another mission to fly. I figured that out all by myself! Except I didn't realize that I need to create another one. I started to fly the next mission that I created after entering in the data (I noticed that it had the same date as the one I couldn't enter data into) but had to exit early as lunch time was over and I had to go back to work (I have a home office so I get to "cheat" this way ). So I'll create another mission then. Thanks for enlightening me!! S!

Pat, just like to chime in here and express my thanks for creating an opportunity to create a truly random campaign, something that should have existed in the game in the first place.
Perhaps neoqb will get a clue and incorporate one into the game but I doubt it.
I've only flown 2 ROF Campaign missions but I thought I'd relate a couple experiences.
1. First mission I flew for Jasta 5 (my favorite jasta) and my plane was spawned in front of a tent.
Managed to somehow squeeze between 2 buildings but damaged my left wing. After taking off Realized that none of my squad mates made it up, they were all stuck behind buildings..no reverse...aaargh....Switched to Jasta 12 for my next mission.
2. Second mission I never could quite catch my squad mates, they flew full bore and went to an insane altitude, is there any way to prevent these extreme high alt. flights?
3. From my limited readings of this thread, am I correct in assuming that just copying the skin packs into the corect folders is not enough to get the skins showing up in the missions? If not, do I have to manually rename the ones I want to "default" or something?
Why oh why didnt neoqb incorporate a "zap" feature like CFS2 did, allowing you to go straight to the next conflict with enemy planes. I'm sure not gonna upgrade again to get 8X time compression to = 8X. Already upgraded just so I could play the freakin game.
I'm hoping this add-on or another one will become something similar to "Uberquick mission builder" for IL-2, if you haven't tried that, it truly is an amazing bit of code that makes great Random missions for that sim.
Thanks again for your work, I'm really hoping for some variability and surprises would be so cool to find enemies just a few miles from the home base.

One short question: Will I always have enemy-contact or are there missions without enemies on my autopilot flightpath? I don't have much flying time and would like to fight every time. solved

I started my first campaign, got 1 enemy and 1 balloondown, reported the flight and everything was very fine. When I hit create a mission it says index 0, size 0 (I have vista 64 btw). what's wrong?

I just shipped version 5.1. As usual, wait for Gremlin's say so before downloading.
This version should help with mission times. I have found that time compression works a bit better. I also STRONGLY recommend turning off scramble missions and MGs.
If you are willing to deal with air starts mission times are significantly shorter. Air start is an option on the config screen which by default is off. Turn it on to skip the ingress process.
What air start does is put you n (also configurable) km away from the target waypoint. All other flights are progressed at a similar rate, so it just skips the inbound flying. Hope this helps.
V5.1 New Features: - Implemented air start option for shorter missions. - Improved offensive patrol logic for shorter missions. Bug Fixes: - Fixed error that caused extremely long offensive patrols - Slowed down aircraft cruise speeds to avoid player being left behind. - Further slowed down take off and climb out cruise speeds. - Removed extraneous airfields to improve performance.

I have a possible minor bug report: (V 5.0)
I created a new campaign with the DH2, in the RAF at the earliest date available.
I opened up RoF, and selected the newly generated mission, but the the "start mission" button was greyed out. (I do own the DH2, and was logged in to the account properly).
I created new campaigns, then a new missions, using various different names and dates - and in all subsequent times the start mission button was available.
I deleted all the campaigns and missions from the appropriate folders, then made an identical new campaign, and found the start button greyed out again.
Maybe it's related to the generation of the first campaign? Or is there something simple I'm missing? It was a show-stopper until I played around by generating new campaigns and missions.
