Can anyone open this Cold War Soviet .inst?

[Blast33]

I had in my import file a nice one of the Soviet Air Force in East Germany 1984 (see attachment).

When Import the file CMO says: Completed!
But no facilty enters the map and it stays empty.

I tried other older CWDB's ,but to no effect

Anyone has an idea why or has an alternative? with Soviet deployments in the West?

Sorry, couldn't find another copy. I opened it with a hex editor and it does not seem to be a valid .inst file - completely different format.

I think you saved the whole page as html, stead of selecting the raw text, or doing a download file from github (though I think dl option button only appears if you are signed into github, which it looks like you were not when you saved the page).

Fixed, works for me

Thank you all, works perfect!

I don't know where I originally got it from, but when searching around, I did found one variant on Github indeed.
Now it is time for action
Great!

just curious, how where you able to fix it? Or did you had a copy yourself?

I opened the file in browser (after noticing the html header in the file), copied the raw inst text only and pasted into notepad and re-saved, nothing special.

Aha, good to know, thank you for the secret
