Marnes23 Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Since the last update it seems that aircraft/units cannot be added to different countries anymore. I have tried multiple times but no change. I have made sure that historical mode is not selected etc. I'm not sure if I missed something but is there a new way to be able to do this?

What fo you mean by adding units to different countries? As far as I know you can't add a unit to the country in ME at least. You can add countries to a different coalition. Example, you can move Russia over to the Blue coalition.

Ah.. never heard of anyone doing that. Don't know why you would have to, I just use the joint coalition country to use anny unit for that coalition.

The joint Coalition is a relatively new feature of the Mission Editor, there was a time when we didnt have it. Also, editing the db_countries file allows you to define countries that are not yet on DCS, like this person did: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321135/ 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Marnes23 Posted October 15, 2024 Author Posted October 15, 2024 My apologies I should have been more clear. I meant allowing an aircraft or unit to be selected by a country in game that is not allowed by default. For instance the L-39ZA cannot be assigned to Egypt by default, however if you add it manually to Egypt in db_countries it will appear as a selectable aircraft. This method used to work before the recent update but it appears as if something has changed. Adding aircraft or other units to a country that does not by default have those aircraft/units as default does not get recognised anymore. I was just curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue and if anyone has found a workaround. I do recognise that I can just choose a joint coalition but I have missions where I don't specifically want to use a coalition but rather a specific country. 1
