OK I've decided to do a MOD of scenario 145 (Nik Mod 5, ABs new standard map, May 42 Campaign).

As Japan I want to get the production to a state where a 'typical' Jap player would have changed things in a full campaign (no massive expansions). By that I mean:
1, Converted Nates and other 'useless' a/c factories to a better model
2, Converted engine factories (Nissan Hitachi etc) to Nakajima
3, Increased smaller Armament factories
4, Convert a small number AKs to ARs and MLEs (setting an arrival date to 180 days from 12/8/41).

Now I also want to bring forward the conversion of CS Chitose and Chiyoda to CVLs to 411231 (as a player would have done on 421231) - now the questions:

1, From the ship screen in the DB editor i've changed to ship class 560 and delay date to 420701 - is this corrrect / anything i've missed?

2, How do I change the organic airgroups from float planes to carrier aircraft correctly?
This confuses me [&:] I don't want to screw up the process whereby airgroups resize according to date.

your assistance would be appreciated

You'll need to use available carrier based airgroup slots and assign them directly to the CVL's. use this guide:

DO NOT MODIFY/REMOVE Slots 197, 213, 236-256, 518-526

Allied Devices ONLY in Slots 137, 138, 315-517

Japanese Devices ONLY in Slots 139, 237-249, 255-314

Japanese Ship Classes ONLY in Slots 1-171 and 501-1199

Allied Ship Classes ONLY in Slots 172-499 and 1200-1999

Japanese Ships ONLY in Slots 1-2999

Allied Ships ONLY in Slots 3000-9999

Japanese Aircraft Types ONLY in Slots 1-75 (CV-capable in Slots 1-7 and 15-23)

Allied Aircraft Types ONLY in Slots 76-249 (CV-capable in Slots 77-101)

Thanks Nik.
Ship upgrade I understand.
So basically I just alter the airgroup slots 578,579,581,582 by assigning an existing CV capable a/c (Zero & Kate) and changing the Max a/c and Ready a/c fields.

What is the composition of the airgroups that the game assigns to the Chitose and Chiyoda when converted to a CVL ?
