Awesome, thank you!

Finally, I got these problems all sorted out now! Everything is working now!!! See first post. Perhaps this will help others in the future.

Thank you...got it! Much obliged. :punk:

Went to your link and registered, but I still can't d/load. Even though I'm registered and signed in it still wont give me permission to d/load. Any ideas?

Roger that! I wasn't even aware it was coming. Thanks for the advice.

What sharp pictures. and those skins are very nice. Makes me want to buy FC3 as soon as I can! Great shots!

Are these publicly available? These are wonderful looking!

This looks fantastic! A must have!

I just tried to change a one of the Su25 missions and it again said it can not write the file like before. Good thinking though. It was worth a shot. Thanks for the advice on the deactivation. I would have forgot that, no doubt. Much obliged!

So bizarre. Everything looks just like yours, except I have full control ticked since I'm the only one on my PC. I checked stock missions and custom missions permissions and they too are all the same. I really do not want to have to uninstall/re-download/re-install, but it's looking like this is going to have to happen. Perhaps I should install to my secondary drive this time? again...thank you very much for your time. It's really kind of you to offer help.

Many thanks for your efforts. Here's what happens when I try to create my own mission... "Can not open file for writing..."

This is HOT!

Still no joy. I tried opening the newly downloaded mission in the ME and still nothing. I can't even open up custom missions in the ME. When it "opens" I see the mission name, but there is zero data carried over into the ME. The map is blank, ie no mission parameters, vehicles, aircraft, ...nothing. :huh: Oh and yes, I have installed some new skins. Just simply added the skins into the liveries/uh 1 folder.

Thanks wess... Well I re-downloaded ZeroDarkThirty and put it on my desktop then pointed my game to the desktop download and it again kicked me right back to main menu. This is really odd. I really want to try out your missions! I appreciate you trying to help!

I'm using Win 7 64bit. It's got to be something else.

Ahhh, thanks. Well I must have enabled it by mistake somehow. I'm so glad I get to finally kiss this thing goodbye! :joystick:

Is there a way to turn off the transparent red box in the upper left hand corner while in flight? What is that thing anyway? :helpsmilie:

Well thanks. Sucks to know you are seeing the same problem, but there is some relief knowing I'm not the only one. I really want to be able to fly some of the custom made missions. :cry:

Alright let's see... I have not been running as admin, but I just tried and still not working. Was it installed under admin? Well I suppose so as I am the sole proprietor of this PC...running under admin privileges. Do I have to manually select install as admin? Also I have not opened them and re-saved them in ME. Like I mentioned the resupply mission worked last week, but for some reason, nothing but stock missions are loading now. Bizarre. Thanks for trying to help out. Update - I also can't open the user created missions in the ME. I can open the stock missions. I also can't save even missions I create in the Mission Editor. :(

Good thinking, but I tried that too. Weird thing is, the "resupply mission" by wess24m worked when I first copied it into the SP Missions folder, but now it too will not work.

Well, I have tried copying to and loading from both locations: C:\Users\*myname*\Saved Games\DCS\Missions C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Uh-1H\Missions but neither work. It just clicks back to main menu. :( Thanks for trying!

Whew, finally got this problem sorted, thanks to the fine help of others here in this thread! So what was happening was I was not able to load custom user created missions and I was not able to even save any missions I created in the Mission Editor. In the Mission editor I would go to save my created missions and it would deny me access to saving the file saying "can not open file for writing...' The other issue was I could not open any custom SP mission as it would instantly dump me back to the main menu. Well here's how I corrected these two heartbreakers... Mission Editor not saving problem Solution: 1. I had to uninstall and delete all DCS World left over files and then reinstall by right clicking the installer and choosing "Run as Admin" :weight_lift_2: - WARNING...be sure to first deactivate and backup save games and other important folders /missions/skins/etc before deleting leftover folders After re-installing using "Run as Admin" option, I can now save user created missions in the Mission Editor. ALSO...VERY IMPORTANT STEP... I must now run the game by right clicking the game launch icon and choosing "Run as Admin" to allow saving of Mission Editor Created Missions. ***Also you can make the game icon start with Admin Privileges by right clicking game launcher, choose properties, then compatibility button, then check Run with Admin Priv and then you shouldn't have to right click the game launcher anymore to run in Admin Mode. 2. Problem #2 - Can't load/run any user created missions. :doh: Well this one is silly. I simply had to re-download the files as the ones I had downloaded (twice) were not complete. I do not understand how this happened, but apparently for some reason or another the files were not downloading completely. When I looked closely in the mission folder I put the downloads in I noticed the ones not working were all the same files size...29k which were far smaller than the others I had downloaded. So there it is. Re-install under Admin Re-download incomplete mission files I was up to almost 4am cruising around in wess24m's custom missions. So happy now. Thanks to all of you guys here in the thread who helped me look closer into these issues. :book: .

SITREP... I have downloaded some missions created by wess24m and put them in my Huey SP Missions folder, but when I go into game menu and I click on mission to load and play it, it just kicks me back to main menu. Do I have to put them in another folder or something?

Looks amazing!! Really Amazing.

I have begun using Bandicam with the motion jpeg setting as it captures great quality video with much smaller file sizes compared to Fraps. They offer a demo version that is limited to 10 min captures at a time. Hope that helps. :pilotfly:
