Apologies but - getting an error creating campaign

[Mo74]

Hello there,

 

I have just installed the latest PWCG for Il2GB and I've followed the install instructions and made that startup cfg change to "1", but I cannot seem to create a campaign. I have also selected the planes I 'own'.

 

I can open PWCG okay, and select campaign options etc, but the 'Create campaign' option remains greyed out and unselectable. 

 

I have tried to research the issue but cannot see what I am doing wrong - apologies if it is something obvious!

 

Thank you.

You should have a disabled menu with only "Planes Owned" enabled.  Select Planes Owned and choose the planes that you own,  then everything will open up.

Thank you very much for your reply Patrick. 

 

Apologies if I was not very clear with my particular issue - I have already selected and saved the planes I own - I am just not able to select 'Create campaign' on the screen after that although I think I have filled all the right boxes in.

 

So, as like below, I cannot select 'create campaign' and therefore create one..

 

Many thanks for any guidance!

Click another time 'Next Step', this should 'whiten' the 'Create Campaign' box.

Thank you also Yogiflight for your help, much appreciated.

 

When I (repeatedly) click on 'Next Step' nothing happens in that the 'Create Campaign' box remains grey - I can use the 'Next Step' button and it will go back a step - I am just not able to progress beyond this page.

 

I am sorry if I am missing something very basic!

 

Edit: I have just tried the Flying Circus version of PWCG which I have successfully used before (altering nothing since I last ran it) and that also will not me create a campaign, getting 'stuck' at exactly the same point.

 

Thank you.

Extra info that might help

[PatrickAWlson]

Thanks for posting the screen shot.  That helped.  The problem is the numbers in the name.  Take them out.  

 

I need to do a better job of relaying that information to players during the process.

Thank you for your reply Patrick. That did indeed do the trick; I can now explore what PWCG offers.

 

In this case it was 'just say Mo' heh! 

 

Thank you very much for your help.

PS. Have a cold beer or coffee on me :)
