go into your CFS3 campaign folder and open the campign you wish to edit in notepad or wordpad.  Scroll down to the tech tree.  There will be entries like this for all the planes in your campaign:



   

You have to add another one for the aircraft your adding in.  use the name of the aircraft's XDP file for the aircraft type, and the entered service dates is in the XDp file also, on the top line near the right side of the page.  save it and your done.


BTW, where is that Lancaster?  I have never seen one that's freeware.
