(Solved) The runways Kuban Summer Map have disappeared

[IckyATLAS]

When I open with the editor my mission file, all the airfield runways have disappeared.

Roads, railways and all the objects of the entire map are there.

If I open with the editor a new Kuban map then all the airfield runways are there.

I tried a Resave of the mission and no way everything is fine except the runways that are missing, instead is the underlying fields.

If I play the mission then all the airfield runways are there and everything is fine.

How can I get my runways back (in fact it is the airfield surface that is missing) ?

Any clue? did anyone have the same issue?

feb 21 post.  Like I said, I know pilots have reservations about fiddling with files, but believe renaming those surface and surfacttex files will resolve your problem.  The game will generate new ones.

I found a simple way to solve this issue.

I had saved the whole Mission group as a template.

I create a new mission with the map. All the airfield patterns are there.

Next I import the Mission template.

Everything fits perfectly exactly at the right place.

I just have to set the time, and atmospheric conditions, as well as copy in the description text (that was saved in a separate text file) and save the mission and that's all. 

Now you have a brand new mission file.

 

Maybe this way of doing can help to restore a mission after file corruption.

But to do so you need to have all the objects of the map as a unique group and saved in the template directory.

This trick i did also with a mission that loaded OK, but crashed the ME each time when saving.

Saved the lot as a group, started a new mission, and loaded the needed map. Then loaded the saved group, and al worked again on saving from the ME !
