    Had a look and all these look good, I had renamed my application 'cfs3.exe', but I think that's for MP in Win7.

    When you ran the ORIF's
    did you do the saves and deletes?

    We'll have to see what Mongoose can find.
    Worst case...may have to
    reload the 5 installs.

    I'm pretty sure this stems from me downloading the Folk Stone missions and having unrecognized aircraft issues. I've deleted the missions but..........same result

    Sorry mate but you are incorrect, the missions didn't cause any CTD's during testing and the few that downloaded reported no issues.

    I would go through all the bat files involved in the exchanging of era's, and make sure its calling for the correct folder names in all of them, I can remember when ETO first came out that some users had issues with the naming of folders in some installs. If I remember correctly you could end up with a miss mash of locations and global layers.

    The instructions for the complete ETO install also had to be followed to the letter without missing anything or else troubles like yours happened.

    Wish I could help more but without a computer thats all I can say.

    I wasn't implying that there's something wrong with the Folkstone missions 65, I think that the fact they occur early in the war and me not having all of the neccesary files, caused a glitch in my Era Swapper that I can't correct . Could be wrong, may have to do a complete re-install.....

    OK, just another quick check to see if there is some corruption in the file sets. The global_layer folder looks all good for Era 5. (But you are trying to run the Folkestone missions. Are they Era 5?)

    Take a quick look in the files in the root of your install. There should be no 1945 missions folder, no 1945 uires, and no 1945 qclocations files. All these should have been renamed by the bat file to the default missions, uires and qclocations folders, to match the global layer configuration.

    Well, I do have a 1945 Missions folder and a 1945 uries file in my ETO Expansion files.......should I delete them?

    Been away and will check more but
    You should have 5 missions folders and 5 uires folders. ONE, the one that is active, will just be labelled 'Missions' (or should be) and also the matching uires folder should be labeled just 'uires'. The non active eras should be labeled '1936_missions' and '1936_uires', and so on.
    Now if you have a mission with a date matching a non 'active' era in the 'active' era, I am not sure what that would do.

    I will upload my bat files and you can examine any difference with yours. Note my ETO is in my 'D" drive. (Use notepadd ++ or any 'examine difference' app)

    Hopefully some of the exceptionally talented folks here can help you without doing a complete install, I bet it something gone amiss in those bat files, there's some good guys here already trying to help you out.

    Thanks to all for your help, it's really appreciated! Mongoose, I think I'll have to wait till the weekend to examine all the bat. files, but thanks so much for sending me yours. I will keep y'all posted!

    No, don't delete them. But clearly there is a bit of an era mismatch going on. If you have the 1945 Missions and uires files, these should be renamed to the default missions and uires, to match the global layer settings. However that leaves the question of what to name the current missions and uires folders? The answer is whatever other era is missing of the five Mongoose talks about. Also, what is the story with the QClocations.xml? Which era is being represented by the default name? Again, look to see which named era qclocations files there are.

    One Question. Do you save your installs on another drive ? I have a external SSD and save all my installs and update them before any changes, so i can re-install if i screw things up in the install. If you don't, it would be good thing to start doing. Just a little piece of advice from someone who had to learn the hard way. Sorry for your troubles ,bro. Hope you find a fix. PM me if you need anything. Regards,Scott

    If I'm understanding this correctly, being that I'm stuck in Attack in the West Era, I shouldn't see files named 1936 in the Global Layer folder and QC Locations? They appear in both despite 1936 being "active" So, for laughs I removed the 1936 files and now I can switch between Era's.....although the AITW splash screen appears briefly before going to the appropriate screen. The problem of not being able to change air fields, time of day, weather remains!

    I hope you checked that you still had 5 eras, otherwise you deleted one of the others! What you describe does happen. Basically the batch file did not correctly change the global era, so another was sill there (as 'global_layer') instead of the 1936 one. Same with the uires and missions if you have a similar issue.

    Well I checked my files against what you sent me Mongoose and everything checks out........there must be a file glitch in QC Locations somewhere I'm thinking

    Well if you wanted era 1 and still found 1936_global_layer.csv/1936_gsl.lib in your folder, then that is usually a batch file misread. same WRT mission/uires files

    I've swapped to Era 5 and I don't have 1945 in my Global Layer folder, so that's a good thing. In the Uisel.xml file QC Airbase ID is Fowe66 which must be Fowlmere, Cambridge. Is that supposed to be the default base?
