Set your default strike loadout for example to something you want for the year you plan on playing and it will show up. When I use the F-16C BLK 52, I have it set up with LGB's, drop tanks, AMRAAM, ECM pod and winders and they show up everytime.
Here is what I mean.
Loadout[01].WeaponType=AIM-120C
Loadout[01].Quantity=1
Loadout[02].WeaponType=AIM-120C
Loadout[02].Quantity=1
Loadout[03].WeaponType=AIM-9L
Loadout[03].Quantity=1
Loadout[04].WeaponType=AIM-9L
Loadout[04].Quantity=1
Loadout[14].WeaponType=GBU-10D
Loadout[14].Quantity=1
Loadout[15].WeaponType=GBU-10D
Loadout[15].Quantity=1
Loadout[11].WeaponType=F16WTank
Loadout[11].Quantity=1
Loadout[12].WeaponType=F16WTank
Loadout[12].Quantity=1
Loadout[13].WeaponType=ALQ-184(V)2
Loadout[13].Quantity=1
Loadout[18].WeaponType=LIGHTNINGPOD
Loadout[18].Quantity=1
Works great.
