Could use a little more info Glenn.

Which build are you using? Which media.vp files? Are you using retail or the downloaded HotU version?

Does it give you any messages about converting the pilot (i.e from FS2 format to FS2_Open format?).

What happens if you go into \data\players\single and clear everything out before starting?

Are you running any mods using the -mod switch? If so is there anything in moddir\data\players?
