Need a little help please
 

when I try to use some of the different ships I have downloaded loads ok till I get the message to please wait then it just sits there, I have to use control/alt delete to get out then I get a message box :data/menu/gui/recmanual/couflaguuw.dds I looked in the SH4 files and rec manual is there, is this because the new ships are not in the original rec manual? and how can I fix this thank you.

Hello Neptune,
I think the experts will need some more information to help you out :

What is the operating system you are using, version of SH4 (1.4 ,1.5 Wolves of the pacific), any mods installed, are you using JSGME to install mods etc.

Modlist helps. couflaguuw.dds could be called out in a configuration file somewhere and the actual file is missing from a mod or stock.

Click on the signature link and see if any of that helps. There is a JSGME sticky with my name in fleetboat mods.
