Is it necessary to start a new game in order to get the upgrade path option to function properly? In a game using 1.5 but started in 1.4, I wanted to get rid of the Japanese Hickory transport aircraft. Since all the Teresa's were gone, I converted a size 32 Hickory factory to Teresa's, producing a damaged, size 23 Teresa factory. The next turn the factory reverted back to Hickory production (but damaged and set at size 23).

Is it perhaps the fact that Teresa's were never manufactured (during game time)? Would it make a difference if I'd converted to Topsy's or Tina's?

A restart is required to allow the toggle to be changed in a PBEM. In AI games, no.

This was an AI game so I guess its a glitch. Any thoughts on a work-around?

I don't have the original of the problem. But if I repeat thr process the same result occurs, so I can send you a fresh one.

Which do you need, the original (with Hickory production), the altered original (with Hickory converted to Theresa production) or the executed turn (where production switches back to Hickory at a reduced level)? Also, where do I send it?

I think that we have a misunderstanding. There isn't a problem with the toggle. It is set to 'on' and if you click on a K1-54 Hickory airgroup you get a number of upgrade options including the Ki- 59 Theresa, the Topsy and the Tina.

However, there are no Theresa's in the aircraft replacement pool beause there never was any production of this type and those that started in the pool have been used to replace losses (the Hickory group was a retuning group that had used Theresa's originally).

The problem that I have an aircraft factory that is producing 32 Hickory's a month. If I try to convert an the aircraft factory from Hickory's to Theresa's, the game goes through the normal conversion process (changes the production type, shows a reduced number of factories - all damaged) initially but after one turn, the factory reverts to the origional Hickory production (except now it is smaller in size (23) and is reparing rather than producing).

Oh, I get you ... you are taking about factory conversion vs upgrade paths.

Due to the way it was coded, for a path to be valid, at least 1 unit of that type needs to exist. If there are none, you'll not be able to get them back into the game.
