This generally indicates that the editor cannot find the database files.
Look in the directory where your are loading the scenario, you should have the following files to make a complete set:
wpa015.dat (air)
wpd015.dat (devices)
wpc015.dat (ship class)
wpl015.dat (location)
wpg015.dat (air group)
wpp015.dat (pilots)
wph015.dat (leaders)
wps015.dat (ships)
cam015.dat (campaign settings)

The files may be missing or corrupted.

I have tried reinstalling the game and it still does this. I cannot save Scen 15 in slot 27 in the Database Editor and then load Scen 27 in the Scen editor. Still says cannot load aircraft data file. Is this a bug with the new patch? Never did this before...
...have checked other slots still does this...

Load scenario 15 into the scenario editor then save into slot 27, then load scenario 15 into the data base editor and also save into slot 27. you will now be able to edit your new scenario but you have to have the data from both editors before you can start making changes

Maybe it doesn't want you overwriting my scenario 27 [:D]
