Do I have to be surfaced? I hope not because there's lot of enemy traffic around. Wouldn't last 3 min on the surface.

I am running from my CD version which has been updated to vers 1.4.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

i've experienced the same thing and i think that it boils down to the fact that the ship/shiptype that you are supposed to photo is not there. i believe that in the Mission.mis file, there is a specific ship/shiptype defined...for some photo missions... and if that ship isnt there for some reason, you will not be able to use the camera.


i am about 75% sure of this.


now, having said that, i will also say that you have to be using the 1.5 version of Stock and/or a sanctioned Mega Mod. table stakes, man, table stakes.
good luck.
