IL-2 1946 Dynamic Campaigns - Adding New Selectable Planes

Dataman

Members +
Dear SOH Community,

On my laptop at home I have I-L2 1946 merged version 4.09 installed.

I have been flying a few of the "built-in" dynamic campaigns the game has to offer but have come across a situation I could use your assistance with.

If for example I were to fly a US Marine campaign, and wanted to tweak the available aircraft, going to the DGen folder I could do this my modifying the "planesUM1.dat" file and make any needed adjustments.
I have been able to add different planes and for me it makes it a little more enjoyable.

I have tried to add the 'Tempest' to the "planesGB1.dat" file but the aircraft is not recognized when I start the campaign as an available option though the drop-down selection.

For the US campaigns, if there is a Corsair or a Thunderbolt I would like, I simply can add it by looking at the skins folder and copying the name of the aircraft into the right .dat file.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong by following these same steps for the 'Tempest' but not having any luck?

As always, thank you in advance for any guidance that can be offered.

Sincerely,

KC / Data
