Greetings, MK2! Thanks for the encouragement. I have been working with a downloaded file... it's just a Burning Sands campaign that someone sent me a while back that added the F-8D as a flyable to the default campaign. I edited quite a bit last night, but I am having some definite issues that hopefully you can help me with... I found and was able to change the start date of the campaign (to Feb 1978), as well as edit the starting dates for all air units involved (didn't think about doing the ground units yet... I assumed if it was after they're starting date, they'd show up). I did make some changes to the lines in the .ini that you mentioned, but I haven't flown enough missions to see what the effect on the sortie rates/dates are yet. That's largely because of the biggest problem I'm having: Although I was able to add several new add-on aircraft to the lineup (specifically, the F-111E, F-15A, A-1H, F-14A, and for the Paranis, the MiG-23B), and the squadrons/aircraft all are available as hoped, they don't show up in the campaign with the appropriate weapons! The F-15A and the F-111 don't have ANY ordinance at all available in the loadout screen, and the Tomcat has only some AIM-9 and AIM-7 missiles available, but no AIM-54 or fuel tanks. The A-1H has some dumb bombs and a rocket pod, but nowhere near the loadout that shows for the aircraft in it's own loadout.ini file. I am pretty sure I added the weapons that I needed to correctly (for the Tomcat and Aardvark, which I think were the only ones that came with ordinance not already in the latest Weapons Pack, which I also have installed), with the proper entries cut and pasted and sequenced in the weaponsdata.ini file. I tried to see if adding the proper re-supplies for each unit in the campaign.ini would help, but it didn't, and I also tried changing the starting supply value for each unit (in most cases, from 50 to 100, which I assumed was a percentage), but that did nothing either. And what's even more confusing and disturbing is that now, even in single missions, the improper ordinance shows up for several planes, most notably the F-15A. Now there are no fuel tanks available, and only the older AIM-9 and AIM-7 versions, plus a ton of bombs and rocket pods... none of which are listed in the loadout.ini file for the F-15A. What's really strange is that it worked just fine when I first installed the F-15A and the new cockpit, but all I've done since is add some more planes and mess with a backup campaign.ini file. Needless to say, I'm getting kind of confused. Any more help is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Rampstrike

...the one at the bottom of the first page of F-15 skins here? I d/l'd the file, but there's nothing in it. Can someone with this skin (44th TFS, Kadena, early '90's) please e-mail it to me or post it again here? Thanks! Rampstrike adventurersinn@cox.net
