According to BAT Manual page 214:
"The FW190 D9 Late 1945 listed in the flightline is identical in appearance to the one before it. It is a previously default model but does not feature in any of the default DGen campaigns. The other 55 FW190s, 49 of which are fully modded by Claymore, all check out fine.
Therefore; our solution is to remove the odd fellow from the flightlne, taking back a little more vital space in the java wall."

This aircraft can not be chosen in QMB/FMB, indeed. But still present in the following files:
plane.properties
weapons.properties
stationary.ini

Not a big issue (except for old missions with this type), but probably it is not needed there anymore.

Dimlee - Validation is definitely needed between the three files (aircraft.properties, weapons.properties & air.ini), The Fw 190D-9 Late isn't the only one. However, since BAT is a labor of love, it's not a big deal. IMHO

Sorry for the late response.

To solve this issue, add this line in your air.ini.
It resides in the Main IL-2 Folder\#WAW2\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects

Fw-190D-9_Late        air.FW_190D9LATE 2                NOINFO  g01   SUMMER

Should we get a planes that don't work properly thread going, in case the mod authors aren't aware of them?
The Piper J3 Cub, 1938 and the Lancaster Mk.III, 1942 don't load for me. I believe I stumbled across a couple more but that may have been in a previous version and they could have been fixed already. I'll edit if I find them.

Hi TheOligopolist, not having any trouble with either of those planes but back to the Fw-190D9 Late, if you add it to the game it has gear issues in QMB. If you try to lower the gear the message says the gear is lowered but it does not lower.

I have another one to add.  The P-40E doesn't load correctly for me, when I try to play the Black Scorpions campaign, but I know that it wasn't written for BAT so that could be the problem.  Just thought I'd add it to your list.

Not so sure that is a great idea.  The goal is not to make BAT compatible with old missions, it's the other way around 
I believe the problem with the landing gear on the Fw-190D9 Late is already known, that is why it is disabled at the moment.  I also have no problems with the Lancaster or the J3 Cub.  They work just fine for me.

However, I do have a problem with both P-40E versions.  When I use either of them to create an FMB mission, all I get is the blue sky screen.  I know for sure they both worked in previous versions of BAT.  I just don't know when they stopped working.  I will need to do some testing...

Hi dpeters95, for the P-40E enable #WAW_Alt Pilots in JSGME. This is what worked for me.
And for the P-40E-M-105 try this: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=55163.0;attach=12189

Yep, I tried that and it works, but only partially.  In one of the single mission packs the P-40E is the player aircraft.  It is there.  I can use it in FMB.  In QMB I can only fly it when I select a skin for the RAF and not USAAF.  It doesn't show up in viewer, only the text.  Strange to say the least.  It's just in the Black Scorpions campaign that I really enjoyed previously that there is an issue.  I'd try to explain further but I only confuse myself when I do.  Product of being old I think.  Anyhow, I will keep on keeping on.

Thanks Phantom, I didn't see the hotfix posted.  Here is what I see.  Activating the #WAW_Alt Pilots in JSGME actually fixes both planes for me.  But, you should not have to activate a JSGME option to get planes to load.  The hotfix alone also works but only for the P-40E-M-105 as it is called.  The P-40E does not load.

Hi, as usual I'm still very confused by all the additions offered to us by BAT;

"The FW190 D9 Late 1945 listed in the flightline is identical in appearance to the one before it. It is a previously default model but does not feature in any of the default DGen campaigns. The other 55 FW190s, 49 of which are fully modded by Claymore, all check out fine.
Therefore; our solution is to remove the odd fellow from the flightlne, taking back a little more vital space in the java wall."

I do not totally agree with the 'identical in appearance' as this is the Fw-190D version with the Askania gunsight, so it adds something. The exterior however is the same as Fw-190D-9, 1944, Fw-190D-9 1.7 Ata, 1944 & Fw-190D-9 1.8 Ata, 1945 and all of these planes miss a proper load-out. So in short we swap a Fw-190D with Askania for two or three without.
Being a collector of mods - I can't throw away anything as you never know  - I put in the old 2008 Fw190-D9_Askania_EZ-42_IL2_MOD by PeaceLovinHippy & Lt.Wolf in BAT. This gave me an armoured plate right in front of the windscreen, but Askania and the landing gear worked ok. The sight only as far as I could see  . If I had something to say in this, I would remove the 1.8 Ata version and put the default D-9 Late 1945, if possible with a working Askania, back in game.
