Campaign aircraft availability

[rkk01]

Well my first post here since Nov 2002....CFS3 came off my machine a few weeks after launch, as it kept ctashing the PC.

Anyway, I'm back with an upgrade that allows CFS3 to work fine, and am enjoying the sim...

Can anyone tell me how I can get more aircraft available in a campaign.  I currently have Firepower and some 1% aircraft installed.

Only 1 FP aircraft is available from my current campaign (luftwaffe, 1943) and no 1% aircraft.

Do I, can I, edit the availability dates?? or is there more to it....

Cheers,  been away a long time and need some help.

Open main CFS3 Folder

Open the Campaign Folder

Click on "fortress europa" XML file.

Copy it to your desktop.

Rename desktop copy to "3-fortress europa"

Return "3-fortress europa" to the campaign folder

Open the file & add 1 plane for a test.

To find the planes ID:

Open the main CFS3 Folder

Open the Aircraft folder

Select a plane & open its Folder

Open the Model Folder

Use the name of the M3D File in that folder.

Caution you are only using the NAME of the file not the whole file.

In the example above 3gb_mosquito_mkvi was the M3D file name which is the one you want to use to add the plane.  

The actual name on the main Mosquito aircraft folder is 3gb_mosquito_mk_6. This name will NOT add the plane to the campaign.

Exception to the rule (there always is one)...not all our planes have a "model" folder. If the plane does not have one - like the Mosquito - just search in the planes main folder for the M3D file by sliding your mouse over them to get the name to show up.
