Adding the A10C II to other countries

[Sandman1330]

So I'm trying to edit current A10C missions to use the A10C II instead. However, some of the countries in the mission don't list the A10C II, such as UK and Germany. The triggers in the mission rely on the country (Sound/message to country) to work, so I can't simply change them to USA.

 

Is there any way to add the A10C II to other countries? I found some old threads about editing the db_countries.lua file, but I see no reference to the A10C II.

Operation Bactria perhaps? I'm in the same boat... Tried adding in the db_countries.lua but that didn't work for me.

I think it's locked.

Exactly! I've been keeping that mission relevant through all the updates for years. Moving units when the new map came out, fixing triggers when sound to country was broken... Even adding the Hornet to allow some play with that one.

 

Still IMHO the best Hawg mission out there. I hope I can get the new Hawg working with it!

Modify the miz directly by changing the type within the embedded mission file.

I hope they add a Russian skin and make a sequel to Shturmovik. :) One of the better ED campaigns out there.

That's what I'm trying to do, but the mission triggers require that some of the A10s be from countries other than USA (Germany, UK). The original A10C is available to these countries but the A10C II is not, therefore I cannot change it to A10C II without changing the country to USA and breaking the triggers.
