Yes, I am located in Germany and use SH4 Vers. 1.5. There you are able to do either German (*.misge) or American missions (*.mis) using the same mission editor. Rename the extension to .mis and you will succeed to open the file. In Version 1.5 this is only the label which says which subs you want to use: German or American. As soon you rename it to extension .mis you will be offered American subs and the mission runs (you only run against your own ships  ) .
I know it's a minor problem as missions are running, but I got curious why the hell this image does not show up. Can you understand this? The game to play is one thing but to change it by modding to your own gusto is much more and I like it. So I get crazy when I cannot solve such an easy looking problem !!
Thanks again for your help and time, I appreciate it. If you should find something, please, let me know.

I tried to change the extension to .mis but it won't open it crashes with an error. That is why I wanted you to show me what you have typed in the window because I can not see it. it won't run in the game either. Maybe if you saved a .mis version in a different folder and upload that maybe that will work.
Did you check what I typed and check to see if you have it typed the same? I wish I could help solve this but without being able to see the mission, there isn't much I can do unless you show me what is typed.
Do you know if 1.5 installed a 'new' mission editor?
FORGET ALL THAT I FOUND YOUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
The .tsr file contains your mission briefing. I opened it with Wordpad.
You have
#Lombok Strait.tga#
You didn't finish it, you need to type
#Lombok Strait.tga#0,0,400,256
You told the program the pictures name but you didn't give the size so it won't show. Go back into the Mission briefing and add
0,0,400,256
to the end of the name, do NOT put a space, type it just the way I did and make sure it still stays on a line by itself. You did the name right, you just didn't add in the numbers it needs to position the picture on the page.
This is how your finished briefing should look:
August, 1 1944, Surabaya Navy Base
#Lombok Strait.tga#0,0,400,256
Our air recon has spotted a Convoy SE of Lombok Strait. Leave immidiately the base and intercept the convoy north of the strait.
ATTENTION:The Convoy is escorted by a light cruiser and several escorts. Sink primarily the cruiser and secondarily tankers, merchants and escorts.
Good luck!
Commander of Surabaya base.
PS: We will try to send support by air force!
Make sure you "Save" the mission after you fix this.
