Hello guys,

Great work once again with the latest Update 3!

However since I installed this patch, I don't see any list of mission ships being displayed during the Commander briefings of Alliance missions. The area where it usually displays is just blank, except for the background holoscreen.
It happened on B4M2 and B4M4 so far.

Playing on a Steam install with Mega patch and Update 3.

Not sure I know what you mean. Can you provide a pic?

Also make sure you don't have Steam running after you install the XWAU or it will mess it up

I think what GABICV is referring to is the briefing screen. Normally, when you start a mission and the briefer is giving a back ground or back story to the mission it lists all the aircraft in the rebel fleet (e.g. Calamari Cruiser, 2x Covettes, 4x correllian Gunships, etc.) I think he is saying that those lists are completely blank. I haven't seen that yet. Its the part of the brief before the map comes up.

Ah ok right. So talking campaign and not playing again in the Simulator.
No one has edited anything like that on purpose. I'm not even sure how atm, I would need to look.
A lot of faults are still built in from the original release. Something to check into anyway

Checked in the original game and the issue is there too.
So working as intended I suppose

@AngeI has shown me how to fix this issue.
Although I'm not sure it's really necessary on a lot of stuff.
So we would need a complete list of missions where the craft list should be added.

Yeah it doesn't do anything other than provide a little more briefing flavor although if you know the mission is setup properly, it being missing can be a sign of something else being wrong right before it crashes.

That said, would be easy enough to add a Craft List view to YOGEME for those that use it.

Thanks @Porkins_BB for translating into proper English ;)

@Ace Antilles I believe B4M2 and B4M4 are the first missions where I see this issue. I'll post again here if I see other missions having the same glitch.

But at the end I agree it is not a big issue. I just thought it was due to Patch 3 because I encountered it just after installing the patch.
