Problems with Mercs in campaigns?

[Horus3K 0]

As im editing Piecemeals updated stock campaigns for the Desert3 terrain, ive ran into some problems/questions...

 

Ive changed the burning sands campaign to start in 1953, everything good so far...then i wanted to make a copy of this campaign where the Mercs fly for Paran, pretty easy one might think...just change airplane, forceid and base entries, but when i tested it, i end up on another airfield and more severe my unit isnt seen as a merc unit at all anymore, no funds are shown, you dont earn anything, exactly like you fly for a Nation?!?

 

Here copies of the *ini entries for my merc unit:

Im really at a loss here, and i begin to believe you cannot fly as a merc for any enemy force at all???

 

Maybe its a problem with the desert3 terrain? 2 weeks ago i did the same thing with stock desert terrain and there it worked?!

Ah well, didnt thought about that....i guess i need to make another merc-nation then, because my plan was to be able to fly as merc for both sides!

 

Thx Hans!

When you flies a new campaign up to accept is the wrench to edit the campaign, change of side, plane .......
