F105G to replace F105D in WOV Campaign

[CAG]

I have downloaded an F105G aircraft add-on and can play that single mission with no problem. I have tried (but been unsuccessful) to reference this aircraft for the Wild Weasel campaigns (17th WWS for example) in the LBI and LBII campaigns in WOV. Is there an easy way to do this?... I thought I had it but obviously still missing something because I still get the F105D in that campaign. I really want the G model so as to be more historically accurate and to get ECM.

 

If someone can help me here, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

What have you tried already?

Open the campaign data.ini and change the D to a G for the unit you want to fly. Start a new campaign for it to take effect.

you will need to extract the campaigns data.ini file using the cat extractor

[CAG]

Thank you for your replies:

 

I have tried extracted the campaign file and did try changing the D to G. I then started a new campaign but didn't get a different result (still an F105D). Admittedly I am new to this... so maybe I am overlooking something quite obvious. Other than edit and save the .ini file do I need to do anything else with it... can I just leave the files in the extracted state?

 

Thanks again for your help!

... can I just leave the files in the extracted state?

 

Yes, but you do have to move it into the campaign folder.

 

If that's not your problem, I can look at your files tonight if you like.

[eraser_tr]

make sure the name in the campaign_data.ini matches exactly the name of the aircraft's main ini file.

 

Also, make sure it's not simply an upgrade later on and simply haven't gotten the G yet (And that the start date of the campaign and squadron are within the service daterange of the aircraft (in the aircraft_data.ini)
