AW KI-61-II Kai Late

SOH-CM-2023
Has anyone else encountered this issue: AW KI-61-II Kai and AW KI-61-II Kai Late not showing in the aircraft menu? They are called for in a mission but not showing.

I've checked the usual items that might cause this and re-downloaded them to be sure. The other AW KI 61s are fine.
 
If its Ludo's mission using 56th Sentai skins, his description says...

"... In this mission, for the Japanese side I am using the Ki-61-II and the Ki-61-II Late from AcWai/Andrew with skins from UncleTgt, with the 56SQ skins for the Ki-61-II ..."

Im guessing if you dont use the correct skins, they don't show in the mission?

Or is it the base aircraft that doesn't show in the aircraft selection screen? That's a different issue...
 
If it's my 56th Sentai mission I am using the 56SQ_DEC44 and the 56SQ_JUL45 skins for the Ki-61-II and for the Ki-61-II Late it is the default skin. Each aircraft has its own folder and in the aircraft.cfg file it should be this way:

AW Ki-61-II 56SQ_DEC44 (aircraft name in the AIRCRAFT folder)

[fltsim.0]
title=AW KI-61-II Kai 56SQ_DEC44
sim=KAI
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=56SQ_DEC44
KB_checklists=Hien_check
prop_anim_ratio=.92

AW Ki-61-II 56SQ_JUL45 (aircraft name in the AIRCRAFT folder)

[fltsim.0]
title=AW KI-61-II Kai 56SQ_JUL45
sim=KAI
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=56SQ_JUL45
KB_checklists=Hien_check
prop_anim_ratio=.92

AW Ki-61-II Late 56SQ_JUL45 (aircraft name in the AIRCRAFT folder)

[fltsim.0]
title=AW KI-61-II Kai Late 56SQ_JUL45
sim=KAI
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=56SQ_JUL45
KB_checklists=Hien_check
prop_anim_ratio=.92

I just added the texture line in the title name as it's easier for me to know which plane has which textures, and if I remember correctly in the MB the first time it couldn't distinguish between the two Ki-61-II unless specified, it may be the cause of your issue?

I wonder if Mission Builder (& by extrapolation CFS2 itself) is having trouble with processing a mission where 2 different aircraft models have the same airfile & dp file name. (both use KAI)... ?

Perhaps renaming the ki61 II KAI late air & dp files to KAI2 (don't forget to change the reference in the aircraft.cfg as well), would allow them to share the airspace trouble-free?
 
I'm using the right skins and aircraft nomenclature described in Ludo's mission readme. Thinking along those same lines UT, I did change the names back to it's default name and still a no show, and I then hand edited the mission. But, as neither of these aircraft is available in Free Flight as well, that leads me to believe the issue is with those two models themselves. Give one a try and see what you think the problem is. Thanks for the replies guys.
 
Thanks Ludo. I'm using the same super sound as well, so I sure don't know ... yet. So no one else has had this issue?
