thanx bubble....i looked a little closer and i realized that the JSGME had RSRDC enabled but it wasnt running it, all the files were still the TMO campaign files which does have that 1944 error in the 2.5 version...i think ill send Ducimus a message about that if he doesnt mind.....so since JSGME wasnt working properly i just manually overwrote the RSRDC files into the directory so everything is kosher now.
i just hate that i thought i was running TMO and RSRDC for the last 19 war patrols of one career.....oye

oh well..
I dont have the mission editor yet unless its built in....will look into that next but ive got a pretty good familiarization of when and where the battles take place...and if i forget there is always the internet and history books
