ERS-67 buggy

Yepp, ERS67 (XWA) is buggy again.

Steel and me both encounter crashes to the desktop.
I get to the meeting and then when it starts loading the hangar, I get about 1/5th of the loading bar before I get thrown out.
Steel can't even get to the meeting. He gets thrown out when he tries to start the briefing.

I remember La Forge talking about this problem before we even had XWA missions.

Yes, briefings are strange. I could not set any info in them without it crashing for me. I don't know what is going on there. Both missions were completable by myself however on my system. Can anyone look into them and give me some info on that?

Guess our XWA is having teething problems..

Seeing how I got it to work after changing pretty much everything around, here's a little checklist:

1.) When you make a "Mission.lst" you enter A NUMBER and not "0"! The number is the number of that mission!
The "0" stands for the first training mission and messes up the briefing! This was already adressed in the last XWA mission! :P

2.) When you make create a mission, you make sure it is named in the right way! That means "1B8M#.. .tie And not "ERSsomethingorother". XWA doesn't like that. :P

3.) When you make a pilotfile, please use XWA Piloteer to change that pilot to "Reserved 1". Every pilot file I got so far was set to nothing but the standard "First Training Mission". That is Wrong - with a capital W!
I don't know what you guys hack together but that is not how you do it! :P
