Sorry about the double post (double double actually). But I have found the problem and wanted to get it on SubSim in case anyone tries to do this in the future.

WB’s Ultimate Ship and Aircraft Mod is not compatible with stock SH3 or with any megamod except GWX3. This is not just a matter of having to DIY mod the three Campaign_XXX.mis files. That is easy to do with the SH3 Mission Editor and the merge files Wreford-Brown includes with USAM.

USAM modifies the .cfg files for a lot of units. The modified files are based on the ship and aircraft types included in GWX3. If those ship and aircraft folders are not present, the game will crash on loading. It is possible to work around this problem. (i go it to work with NYGM.) But it isn’t easy. Kids, don’t try this at home!

UPDATE: I spoke too soon. My kludge DOESN’T work. I was using school missions to test it. The game will load and run school missions ONLY. Single missions and careers (both brand new and in-port) CTD from the mission loading screen. My fix, she no work!
