Hi,

I just upgraded the game to build 446 AND updated the image database with the last available release.
Now, when playing, I cannot see any picture.
Before patching and upgrading it worked fine so it's related to one of the two things I did, but which one?

Cheers

Radagy-Make sure your images are in a the DB3000 file that follows the following file structure. Make sure there are no images in a sub-file(s) below the DB3000 file. What is crucial is that the bolded portion of the sequence below is followed. The actual naming conventions for the unbolded portion isn't important:

C (or whatever your hard drive is designated)/Matrix Games/Command Modern Air Naval Operations/DB/Images/DB3000

For Cold War Database photos, the sequence is:

C (or whatever your hard drive is designated)/Matrix Games/Command Modern Air Naval Operations/DB/Images/CWDB

Hi CV,
When upgrading the images DB I followed the instructios and I did what you wrote.
I enclose an image so you can see the path.

Hmm. Now I am officially flummoxed. Your path looks to be correct. I'm unable to reproduce the error. I've updated, and am seeing the images in my database viewer. Just out of curiosity, is the error happening with both CWDB and DB 3000 images?
On a lighter note, here's an image I save just for issues such as this [:D]

I checked. The issue is just with CW scenarios.
Here is the path:

OK. I think I see what the problem is-there aren't images for all the units you are selecting in the datasets yet. You are playing a scenario that doesn't have a lot of units that have associated pictures yet. Try picking any of the USN/USMC/USAF A-1 Skyraider in the database viewer, and see if you get an image. Those should all have images associated with them.

We are in the process of trying to get images for all/most of the units in the DB 3000 and CWDB sets, but we aren't there yet. If you have any images of any of the platforms in the game, upload them to the forums, and we'll include them in the next version of the image files.
