Error creating Pilot
I just downloaded and installed Prologue 1.0 and all seemed to install without a hitch but when I run it and try to create my pilot i get the following error

Error: Couldn't load pilot file, bailing
File:J:\src\cvs\fs2_open_3_6_9.final\code\MenuUI\PlayerMenu.cpp
Line: 857
[This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable]

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    kernel32.dll 7c816fd7()
------------------------------------------------------------------


Any idea as to what is happening here.

Vids look great so Im really looking foward to trying this out.

Thanks

Re: Error creating Pilot
Someone else had this problem, the solution was to create a folder called data in your main TBP directory, and then create a folder called players under that... then try it again.

Yeah..

Check if you have ../data/players directory.. if you haven't got it.. create it and try again.

Though in this its probably better for him to place the new directories under the WCS directory :D

that would be me. A few people reported the same problem right after the original release :)
