missing AtmSphere.fx when loading msnbin file in the editor

[JollyJack]

Wanted to load an old msnbin into THE EDITOR ONLY, v7.008, and get a file not found error: Graphics\Shaders\Trash\AtmSphere.fx   

Any mission works in the game, but NOT when loading an msnbin file Any ideas?  example mission: Train Carriage Counting v2.zip

Resaving the loaded mission from the editor does NOT fix the example msnbin loading error above. Game Installation updated 7.008 from a 7.006, no mods active.

Reinstalling IL2 does not solve it.

 

ADDED:  a remainder of Reshade?: https://github.com/IAmTreyM/SHADERDECK/blob/main/Shaders/SHADERDECK/ATMOSPHERE.fx  but that's not AtmSphere.fx.

OLD forum: been seen before:  https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/75846-game-launch-error-atmspherefx/

ADDED2:  Think i figured it out partly.  The msnbin files load OK directly in the editor, but NOT when you select open with and default all msnbin files to the STEditor.exe.

Must be some windows problem since the latest update of win 11 pro

.msnbin files are known to be unreliable if loading from previous versions. If you still have the .mission file, delete the .msnbin and load from the .mission.

Thanks, deleting the old msnbin file and creating a new one does not solve this bug.

The error is general witn ALL msnbin files, but only loading when set as default in Windows 11 pro file type for STEditor.exe, and clicking on them. 

Normal loading of one in the editor direct works fine.
