Something similar happened to me; FS2O will crash if I select my WoD pilot file. This occurs with only this pilot file, and under any mod I try to run. The problem started after I made a change; I had previously been getting some radar glitches, so I re-downloaded and replaced MV_RadarIcons (in mediavps_3612) and the entire WoD folder. I have posted my debug log below. It appears to contain a number of errors regarding .TBL files; which is odd, if my pilot file is the problem.
Can anyone familiar with the campaign tell me (without spoilers, preferably!) whether I'd be missing much (in terms of campaign variables) if I used the Tech Room cheat? I was on the mission where
you have to defend an LSF frigate as it repairs its engines; after rescuing the Cordi Queen,
and had previously chosen the MkIII-E and completed all secondary objectives.
