Anyway probable your 3do folders are in the wrong place, nothing to do with your issue since the maps should load even without the correct object

WOOOHOOO!............kinda, LOL.

I've got the map to finally show up in FMB. The problem was the Enable Mods cache. Once I disabled that; up it popped.

Having said that, I can't save any flight paths etc on the map and I also noticed that there were no buildings at any of the airfields.

Good, you can't save because you missed the object, as I said before you have to ceck your 3do folder

Roger that.
There are three folders in the 3do folder;
bitumenearth
Hafenplatte01
Wag_Asphalt

They all seem to refer to ground textures. I don't see any building objects etc.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I dl'd the static.ini.checker and it identified a huge list of missing objects.
These objects did NOT come with the WestFront44 map folder so where do I find them???
Thanks again to all the guys who have helped me. I think I've just about got this cracked!!

Missing objects are from Cannons Channel objects and KevinP's road plates i reckon. If you have a look in the full ini that's provided with the checker and cross reference your missing objects ie one will be "buildings.House$RAF_mainstores", find it in the full ini then scroll up till you find the title line which will look like;
//=======================
[***]
Title Canons_RAF_Hangars
//=======================

Cheers

thanks again,

The objects pack is meant to be installed in its entirety ... however you will already have most of the objects in the default install of your version ... it can however do no harm if they are installed double so to speak, once in the sfs files and a second time in your #SAS or MODS folder ... the only thing you will notice will be a somewhat longer loading time for the game.

OK, finally got it working, saving, flying etc. Part of the problem was where the 3do folder was supposed to be. I was told in one post to create a 3do folder under the #SAS folder but in fact it is supposed to be under the MAPMODS folder. Once I did that and ensured the Objects_STD static.ini file was put in the appropriate spot I was good to go.

I tried the WestFront40 map flying out of Lympne in a Hurricane with no problem at all. The only strange thing left is that the RAF airfields seem to have German buildings and my control tower (and the commands HUD) is all in German!?!?!?!.

Thanks to everyone here for their patience and assistance, it is much appreciated.
