Debug build says nothing of that but instead informs of a debug error and the stack being corrupted around variable 'real_fname'.

... which is a good indicator that your filename for that mission is too long.  Maximum length is 31 characters, including the extension, which means that you can use 27 characters for the base name.  Check that the filename is short enough and let us know if that was the problem.

Yep. That was exactly what I was about to suggest. I just wanted to test it first.

Long file names definitely can crash the campaign editor.

If C3M1.fs2 and/or C3M2.fs2 are too long, then I'd say the problem is on FRED's end...

MediaVP's 3.6.8 Zeta are currently the most recent VP's. Don't forget Taylors 0710 patches on page 5. Or, here's a link directly to the top of page 5.

There are not any 3.6.9 VP's yet. DaBrain is likely still working on them and as of yet has not released any beta's and I don't suggest nagging him about it.

It's likely people are confusing the EXE builds and the VP builds. At some point they will come into confluence.

Ahhh, there we are.  Additionally, I had to unistall then reinstall FS2 and SCP. I saved my pilots, but when I start the game, I lost everything that was in the tech room database.  Do any of you guys know how to add these things back?  Thanks.

Because of data pilot corruption, ALWAYS use a new pilot for each campaign you start.

In any of the Tech Room screens (even mission simulator) you can show all the items pressing Ctrl+Shift+S. And if you want to check all playable models, try pressing F3 from main hall.

What?  Wow!  I didn't know that!  Is this something that you could do from the beginning or is this an SCP add on?

[neoterran]

you have to do it or at some point, you'll lose all your campaign progress

It's an SCP add on.
