Available skins/payloads/mods

[WWSitttingDuck]

Squad has been running same missions for some time now.  We didn't know it (cause it had no effect), but some skins were suppose to be locked out because of there were entries for each plane under available skins (page 229 of Jim TM's manual).  Now, after 3.01, some skins, some payloads are locked out,  and unless I am missing something, only thing I can see to do is go back end edit all the missions, so the entries under available skins and available payloads are empty.

 

So, why didn't these entries have an effect before 3.01 (we all had out squad skins available)

And, is there another way to get skins and payloads back without having to edit alot of missions???
