Old error... FS2 never really cares about it though, since half the time if i test something, i'll just place ships, and completely forget about making myself A1... Now that other wings are actually supportd though, its even less of a problem...

Goober: Might change it to say just that the player isn't in a wing, instead of a specific one?

But Beta1 isn't a player ship. Also, when I renamed Alpha to "Gold", there was no Wing present in the loadout screen.

I'm probably missing something obvious here......

You have to set which wings will show up in the Mission Specs window if i understood right...


EDIT: Hm... Seems i'm wrong...

Or there might be a bug in FRED.  Post the mission and I'll take a look at it.

I'm probably using the Custom Wingnames tab wrong or something. I found if I reassert Alpha1 as the player (in ships editor), that usually fixes the player fault. The non-exisistant wings in the loadout and ship selection screens (ingame, before mission starts proper) persists though.

why not ?

It's not a proper mission anyway, just a wing re-name test. No events or anything.

Look at the initial post in this thread for the correct build.

Roanoke: You never added Skull, Omega, and Silver wings to your mission, that's why they aren't showing up. :p Rename Alpha, Beta, and Gamma if those are the wings you want to use.

As for the error message, I'm not sure what causes it but it might be due to the inconsistent mission.  As soon as I saved it with the changed wings it reported no errors.
