A kinda dumb question: I was modifying an old post war cmpn by adding meteor F3s. I made it in 409, was modifying it in DBW 411.1, with the previous meteor. I'm somewhat concerned that the new version will not work in the old one, or that the mod might cause a problem in various versions. I just use them for a about a fourth of the misns, and in air combat by AI planes.

If somebody has the new loadout versions, will this affect the older ones in misns where they use no load outs? Will the meteor F-4s still be able to function as they did in the earlier misns? I'm debating removing the meteors since I fear this variation issue may keep the misns from functioning correctly in some versions. 

Thank you. And thankx for all this great work, and for the new load outs, as I look forward to using them.

Zsoltfireman, the first page of this thread has your answer:

*For 4.101 Users, rename any classfiles starting with a "-" to enable bombs and prevent loadout errors*

solution for the future?

probably not, mate - we are moving on to 4.12, and the chances of new stuff being done specifically for an older version are not good.
you are asking for a future solution to an older version.....doesn't really make sense, does it?
the future solution is to move on to 4.12 mods, lol.
it's easy enough to just edit the - sign from the classfiles, surely?

"sign from the classfiles, surely?" Sorry I do not understand

Look in the Meteor folder. Find the two files that begin with "-". Remove the "-", overwrite files. Bug fixed.

Well that's a bit simpler. Now I'm wondering if it's more practical to mod the old cmpn for DBW now or just for the latest version of HSFX. Now Im wondering if the latest install of hsfx has the Meteors and the P-61. I'ts vital that the P-61 be used, but I could get away with not using the meteor. Im trying to keep this conversion as simple as possible, but it has to have the P-61 for sure, but would be nice if it had the meteors. I want to make using this cmpn as simple as possible.

If you guys were upgrading/moding a 4 yr old cmpn for the new stuff, which would you choose to make it as usable to as many as possible? Or is this blasted medication I have to use just slowing my brain activity a bit much?

Finally!
no need to equivocation...
This is helpful!

Thanks Mate!

@Sleeping: My advice is choose the one that will cause you the least amount of hassle. As I've started doing with my mods, I have dropped support for old game versions so I can spend more time on making better mods for new ones. Sometimes you can cater for everyone, other times it will do your head in!

[Sleepingdragon]

Yeah, that's a great idea. Just gotta figure out if the P-61 is in the hsfx latest version, so I can know what to put in the readme. I am gonna minimize what has to be added. Thanx for the input.
