Avialable airplanes in ODS

[puma]

Before I start, PMC I thank you for your efforts you have done a fabulous job with ODS and I look forward to your continued efforts. My one small problem, and I think this has been asked before, It seems that there are lots of squadrons available but only a few mission are generated for specific plane types. At first I only had F15E/F14/F16/F111/A10 then I changed the first line of the Validac.act file to 8888 from what ever it was, now I only have the A6/Tornado/F4 maybe some other I have not tried.

My first question. What was that first line of the Validac.act file? I need the F16 back. Also is there anyway to access all the planes? I have not been able to get the F18 no matter what I do our how long I wait (for a mission to be generated).

Thanks again for your efforts.

PS. I know this is a beta

This is mostly because the Max Range of the aircrafts is too short. I've done some database editing and F-16's get now nice tasking into the FLOT.

However as posted in other area here, no upgrade is due for some time because it would be minimum of 15mb download... so it will be totally new installer and that won't happen anytime soon I'm afraid.

Like you said 8888 to make all available I think and original line you can grab from the campaign\save\validac.dat file.

Hmm doesn't the validac.dat 8888 just do this trick?

I have only tried a few squadrons with the 8888 line. But thus far I have only been able to get into the Tornado, A6, F4. Maybe I just need t keep at it a little longer. Thanks again,
