Has a bug that prevented the North Cape secret airstrip missions been found and fixed?
The GitHub user, debugcom has done some very impressive analysis work in figuring out how to trigger the secret airstrip missions in F-19 Stealth Fighter and F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0. The analysis revealed that there was a bug in the North Cape theatre that prevented the missions from being completed.
Part 2 of the analysis went on to identify and document the fix for the North Cape data file responsible for these missions, nc.wld, fixing a 34 year old bug! That's some pretty impressive work and it's well worth a read!
You can find the analysis here on GitHub, debugcom/Hacking-F117A
It's not known if there's anything else that may be preventing North Cape secret airstrip missions from working, but if this mission appears it should be completable now!
I've applied the fix to this version of nc.wld. To use it, take a backup of your current nc.wld file, and unzip this one to your F-19 Stealth Fighter installation folder.
Update: The article by debugcom has been expanded to four parts including a section specific to getting secret airstrip missions working in the Libya and North Cape scenarios of F-19 Stealth Fighter. I've applied the fixes detailed in the article and can receive secret airstrip missions, as the below screenshots show.
This zip archive includes the changed libya.wld and nc.wld files with secret airstrip missions enabled, it should be extracted to your F-19 installation folder:
If you get these mission and manage to complete them, let me know!
Finally a big thank you to debugcom for the work on fixing this bug!
