Equipment request: planes availability question

[312_Lazy]

Hi, we use PWCG for coop missions and it works great, thanks. 👍

 

We often use Equipment Request to let everyone fly what they want. However, some planes are sometimes missing, for example:

• Bf 109 K in Luftwaffe campaing in January 1945
• Hurricane in VVS campaing in 1942

 

I checked json files in input/aircraft and those planes were introduced already (and not withdrawn) but I cannot still use them. Are there more factors influencing planes availability in Equipment Requests?

 

[JG7_X-Man]

What unit?

I think I see the problem.  The planes are placed in a Java map sorted by plane quality (goodness in the JSON files).  If two planes have the same value one will overwrite the other in the Java map.  I changed the sort be to be the plane name, which is unique.  Planes will be sorted alphabetically in the next release.

So as a workaround I changed goodness by one and the planes appeared. Thanks!
