Morning everyone, thank you for getting back to me on this. I've tried turning the firewall and anti virus off, the problem is still there. Everything checks out, start up mission editor and set up all the stuff, skins, loadout etc... Then start up and I'm just along for the ride, weird. I did notice that the C130 mod from Anubis, does the same thing, Since 2.7 this has been a problem. I've uninstalled/reinstalled both mods, same issue. Other mods like MB339 and A4 are great and so is everything else, just these two little critters.
Thank you so much for your help and taking the time to suggest solutions.
Very much appreciated,
Baz.
