Question about La-5FN in BoK Career Mode

[No105_Swoose]

Salute!

 

How do you get to fly the Lavochkin La-5FN in Battle of Kuban single player career mode?

 

Background: I purchased the La-5FN as a collector plane and am able to fly it in Quick Missions.  I want to fly it in career mode.  So I went through the steps of trying to set up a career flying it in a Battle of Kuban campaign.  In career mode, on the career mode unit and aircraft selection map, I filtered out all planes except for the La-5FN in the "Calm Before The Storm" phase 6 August - 9 September 1943.  The only unit showing availability for flying the La-5FN was the 249th IAP based at Dneprovskaya.  When you hover the cursor over the 249th IAP symbol it shows the pictures of the aircraft with which the unit is equipped: the LaGG-3 and La-5FN.  So I selected the 249th IAP and did the next/final step to select a pilot personality and picture.  I started the campaign and am now 14 missions into it.  Unfortunately I've only been able to fly the LaGG-3 because that's the only aircraft that comes up with each day and associated missions.  Does the La-5FN appear later in "Calm Before The Storm"?  Or is there some kind of glitch or bug involved and it's not possible to fly an La-5FN in career mode?  For what it's worth, I've flown a number of IL-2 careers in different phases of Battle of Kuban.  The ShAP unit symbols always show both IL-2 mod 1942 and IL-2 mod 1943 aircraft being present.  And indeed they are: in some missions you fly a mod 1942 and in others a mod 1943.  But the 249th IAP, although it shows having both LaGG-3s and La-5FNs, so far has only had LaGG-3s available for missions.  The unit history for the 249th, on the tab with the unit battle flag, indicates that the 249th IAP did not convert to La-5s until July 1944.  

 

Not a huge deal, but I'd like to be able to fly the La-5FN in BoK career mode.  Any thoughts/advice/assistance appreciated.  Spaseebo!  Swoose
