solved Unable to Select Aircraft in Mission Editor

[CommandT]

Hi all.

I have a bizarre problem which I've never experienced. I have some very strange things going on with the mission editor. It started happening only recently and I can't for the life of me figure out what I could have modified in any of the folders in DCS to cause it to be like so.

1 - none of the mod aircraft appear or can be selected from the drop down menu in the mission editor.

2 - combined task force red & blue don't appear in the drop down for countries. If you go to manage factions they are on their respective sides blue and red as you would expect, then when you go to the drop down all of a sudden they are there and can be selected as country. However only the currently selected aircraft is available from the drop down menu, or if no aircraft is selected then only the A-10A is available.

I am totally flabbergasted. I have no idea what's going on! Any help appreciated! 

Thanks! 

Edit - just realised one thing that could somehow be related but not sure. Recently I received a refund for the F-15E and it was "taken away" from me in DCS so I uninstalled it. But why on Earth that would have caused such strange mission editor behaviors I have no idea. 

Also just for clarity - if I load any of my old missions all the mods and factions and aircraft load correctly.... however all of the above problems persist if you were to then try to add another aircraft... combined task force factions only show A-10A or currently selected aircraft before changing faction to combined task force blue or red. And still no mods can be seen or selected, despite the fact that the mission may already be using mods which can be seen on the map, so they obviously exist in DCS.

Ensure the History filter is off (clock icon at the bottom of the mission editor).

That caught a friend of mine as well a few days ago

Yep, that was it!! Thanks a billion! Never knew that icon was even there! Must have clicked it by accident at some point.
