Cannot seem to place a 109 on map

[Mangrove Jack]

I am trying to build a small mission for the Spitfire on the Channel map for a time period of mid 1942 which is when I think it was being introduced.  I placed the Spit but when I tried to place a 109 on the channel map I could not see it to select as an opposing force.

When I changed to 1944, I could see all the different planes.

Am I doing something incorrect or is this an issue? I thought the map was meant for 1940-45.

Turn off the little watch at the bottom of mission editor.

 It's quite useless. As it's to specific.

The 109K4 wasn't produced until latter half of 44. And since ED hasn't made even an AI model of an earlier 109. That's what we're stuck with.

That stop watch isn't very useful as there are few to variations of aircraft.

This isn't just for ww2

 

But wont let you select the MiG21Bis until far into the 70 or 80s for many countries. As those countries used earlier models.

Ok thanks for the info. Also didn't realise the 109 was produced that late.
