Thank you, JG7_X_Man. Wonderful job updating these files. 

However,  I encountered a slight problem. This section:

is missing from dcg. 

To be excact, it does appear in Aircraft Class Settings panel, but is missing from the Squadron Editor panel. 
The skin folder names must be correct, I copy-pasted them back and forth air.ini, class.dcg and skin folder name and skins work in game. 

Focke-Wulf Fw-200 Condor was missing, too. I fooled around with the class.dcg entry and suddenly it appeared in Squadron Editor  panel. I have no idea how that happened

Maybe the second row designations for the Briefing are too long!? Try to make them a bit shorter . . .

Tested. No effect.

[Shakaali]

I moved the whole section to the beginning of class file.
Now Typhoon MkIA appears in Squadron Editor, but the others are still missing.

I moved the section to the end of class file.
They all are missing again.

Well, it's Easter time, witches are active and magic is in the air (Finnish folklore)....

EDIT: Removed everything from the class file except this section... They all appear!
Is there a maximum number of planes Squadron Editor can handle?

[Cycle]

Maybe a question for Paul in his forum . . .
What is your procedure, after you had made the changes, did you just open DCG or did you first create a campaign and open then DCG?

[Shakaali]

I opened dcg with existing, working campaign.

I'll try with new campaign, recheck all the lines and ask Paul. But off to bed now, it's 2.20 AM and the letters are starting to walk around the screen...

[Cycle]

Good sleep!

[JG7_X_Man]

OK Here is the issue - #1 user error. 

The CUP guys made it easy for us to use all the aircraft at our disposal by putting them is sections. I kept these groupings in the class.dcg. This is so that the A-20 for example will be in the RAF section next to the Blenheim instead of alphabetical order by the USAAF's B-25. 

Thus, you have to scroll down.  sorry.

[Shakaali]

No, it's not that.

I created a new campaign with those planes. DCG replaced the Tomahawks with MS410's and all the rest with Hurricane IIb's

EDIT: Deleted everything except those planes from the class file and re-started the campaign. All the planes are there. This is getting interesting.

[JG7_X_Man]

Don't know what to tell you - I see them in my installation. I would post pictures but I am sure you can take my word for it.

The data that populates the Squadron Editor and Aircraft Editor come from the same file (...in addition to other files).

(....MS410's and all the rest with Hurricane IIb) Hmm . My last suggestion would be to see if you have "Historic Production Dates= On" in DCG, then make sure the campaign start dates are in-line with what you see in the aircraft editor - that's the only possible reason why you won't see them available for your squadron. The fact that you see them in the aircraft editor at all means there is something wrong on your end and not with the files.

[Shakaali]

Yes, I believe you.

Trying to figure out what is happening.   

[JG7_X_Man]

I am at work (...shhh) so I will be monitoring this thread! FYI there us a new version out. Paul came through for us yet again and created 3.49 for big maps.
