solved Sa-342 not available on mission editor.

[Stratos]

None of the Sa-342 choppers are available on mission editor under any country or coallition. I cannot select them (as AI, I don't own the module) to use it on my missions. Being happening since last patch. Any idea?

Have you checked the historical filter? Make sure its disabled or you set an appropriate date for the mission.

Yes yes, checked it. Is not activated.

You selected the "Transport" task. Gazelle is not fit for the job.

Nothing as task...

Remove any mods and run a repair.

[Stratos]

Done, still nothing. I must say all tests are run without mods installed.

Hi, attach your dcs.log file, to look for more clues.

[Stratos]

Here it is.

this line:

why you have a CoreMods folder at Saved Games?

 

 

[Stratos]

Yes, it seems, with a Sa342 folder on it. Should I erase it?

Rename that coremods folder, to confirm if the problem goes away

[Stratos]

Problem persist, seems it was an old mod to make the Ah-1W flyable, checking now the install folder.

[Stratos]

Nothing, Sa342 is still not available.

To test, I just uninstalled my Gazelle:

 

 

... and my ME shows them up as AI aircrafts just fine:

 

 

 

So, in my opinion this is not a Bug, but a problem within your DCS setup. A DCS repair should clear any unwanted Mods from the DCS program path, if the problem persists then the cause should be within your Saved games folder, where there is no utility able to clean Mods there, the only option on that case is to rename the DCS folder at saved games, to let DCS rebuild it with a default config .. you can then recover your control bindings and logbook from the old renamed folder.

[Stratos]

Done that, seems you're right, wondering were the error can be...

I don’t know, the only DCS locations that I’m aware of, are the DCS program folder, and the /saved games/ configuration folder.

Thanks for the help Rudel

Looks like it is also disabled in Module Manager:

2023-08-05 10:01:13.047 INFO    Scripting (Main): plugin: SKIPPED 'SA342 AI by Polychop-Simulations': disabled by user

but it still shouldn't affect the Coremods. Do what Rudel suggested: DCS repair, clean and renaming Saved Games\DCS folder.

[Stratos]

I made a complete erase and reinstall, the chopper is back.
