May have spoken too soon! Schleswig Holstein appears on the map in FMB but run the game and she's not there. Don't think they had cloaking devices in the KM
When I substitute for other ships they appear, even the vaunted Tirpitz and your own Karlshrue - very nice.
I cant see what I've done differently between Schleswig Holstein and Karlshrue!

I have a friend who has the same problem as you! With a 409/ModAct! 
I tried... impossible to fix this problem!
While the same Mod works very well in my 409/UP2.01 !

As I have said many times before to you

Post the logfile. This will likely provide a clue to the problem.

... I am the one Epervier is speaking about, and in spite of his help (based on my logs) and multiple attempts with class changes, I never was able to get the Schleswig Holstein sail on a map ...! 

I could put waypoints on a map in the FMB, save and exit, but once the mission was launched, no trace of the ship on the sea, vanished ...! 

So I gave up ... 

Hopefully, the Karlsruhe works OK ...! 

[asheshouse]

While setting up new ships for the first time it is very common for me to have a situation where the ship appears in FMB but will not load in the mission. I think I have always discovered it to be due to something missing in ships.ini. Often weapon entries missing from the top section in ships.ini and occasionally in the Hull Durability section.

... many THX, asheshouse, I'll check these lines asap ... 

EDIT:

... just checked and I have each and every single line ... 

[Falconidae]

Hmm.I couldn't find the lines here word searched "Gun Durability" for instance an got nothing. Pasted those lines under "Main Armament - still no Pre Dreadnought.

[asheshouse]

Pasting text into random parts of the ships.ini file is not a good way to proceed.
If you have inserted // Gun Durability text into the // Main Armament section of the Schleswig Holstein entries then that is completely wrong.
Delete what you have added.

The // Gun Durability section in ships.ini is right at the top, around about line 12 in the file.

If you don't see this section then your game is completely porked and nothing I say or do is likely to get you out of the pickle you have got yourself into.
Randomly inserting or deleting text without making backups is guaranteed to result in an unholy mess. 

Your best bet is to make a completely fresh install.

 

[Falconidae]

Ah Ha - found it! That text was on the separate files needed for v4.09. I'd put them in first time and when it didnt work stripped every thing out and tried again - forgot to put that bit back!
I have a Deutschland Class ship now - thanks to you brother.

[asheshouse]

Now added to the first post - Prinz Eugen.  - Complete model, including shadow and damage meshes. Very highly detailed.
No substitute parts. All model details are authentically modelled. Original meshes have been combined and optimised to suit model limits in IL2 whilst retaining the authentic appearance of the model.

This model is not mine. It is sourced from WoWS, extracted by Maxromash. My work is limited to converting it to IL2. The original model when used in WoWS has much greater functionality including detailed modelling of the armour arrangement. Unfortunately this cannot be replicated in IL2 - at present.

Will benefit from the addition of damage textures, if anyone is interested in tackling this. Meshes are already included.

The size of this model may result in problems for those with lower spec PC's -- also uses 2048x2048 main textures

Great work! Many thanks to all involved.

[Mick]

Many THX for sharing, Asheshouse, what a beauty she is ...! 

[cgagan]

Many thanks Asheshouse, a truly great addition! Superb model and great adaptation to our game,
