Can't start PWCG... Error Log

[BlznSaddles]

I'm trying to use PWCG and I am sure I have it placed in the correct location and have changed the startup.cfg file.  However When I try to launch PWCG nothing happens except it generates another error in the error log:

Any ideas?  Thanks!

It is failing to read the planes config  file.  The file was either incorrectly edited or corrupted.  It can't be a generic config problem.  If it was everybody's install would be failing.

 

Most sure way:

Delete PWCG.

Download PWCG again.

Reinstall.

 

If you want to try a more gentle version:

Delete everything in PWCGCampaign\BoSData\Input\Aircraft

Pull only those files from the zip.

OK will do.  I actually downloaded it on a mac and transferred it over to the PC so maybe it got corrupted somehow.  

 

EDIT:  Re-downloaded, seems to be working fine.  Maybe my USB drive was bad.  Thanks for the help!
