Cavalry Corp -> My Engine Problem in editor?? "Engine Unknown" (8/14/2021 9:37:58 AM)
I’ve got a complicated problem with engines. I created a few more engines to make it technically more difficult for the late more Japanese aircraft. Would like to retain them in the game if possible. Started a test mod for them putting then in 1941 . Added a few aircraft using these lightweight engines and they all appear OK on the map. But Some of these engines even with a starting pool appear on the production list with the words "engine unknown". a couple I did like the HE Jet are fine a production works ok? Device slots 1939- 42 all the same issue - are these slots not allowed? I have no idea why this is because it is just a name. When I created the engine all I did was copy and paste one of the Japanese engines and just renamed it. That’s all I did. Then allocated it to a new aircraft. You can add the aircraft units onto the map no problem but the engine seems to be a problem displaying in some of the production screens and information screens. I tried moving one of the engines from device number 1941 to 1942 and the 1942 slot shows up but still not the1941 – what is going on? have about three problems all the same. Any help would be appreciated because I am completely at a loss as to what to do. [image]local://upfiles/9997/8A635017A7C041F8B1FB59C56B9FED9D.jpg[/image]

This is the result of copy and paste of an engine that does work to the new slot and just changing the name = you can see the pool is ok at 116 But it still says Engine unknown. After moving the Engine I changed all the Planes that use it to make sure... No joy [image]local://upfiles/9997/19C8B38803074533A57D21AB788BCAB5.jpg[/image]

And the answer to life the universe and everything is .... not 42 In AE ... In this game there is only a certain number of Engines that may be present for Japan - but no where does it say that ! Issue fixed - took hours to come to this...

Just a thought. Do you have a factory to produce the new engine type?....GP

Cavalry Corp -> RE: My Engine Problem in editor?? "Engine Unknown" (8/14/2021 3:11:34 PM)
Well Yes on one I think - any concern its RD ( engines allowed R+d)

btd64 -> RE: My Engine Problem in editor?? "Engine Unknown" (8/14/2021 3:14:37 PM)
Just thinking that if the engine is not recognized maybe it has something to do with production 🤔....GP

Don't think you can add more engines, you have to use one of the existing slots.

I have had the same issue in my mod, as had others before - see http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=4540605 You cannot add engines, you can only edit existing ones. In my mod I have grouped the "Hitachi (early)" and "Kawasaki (early)" into one "obsolete engine", thus freeing one engine slot. Another slot can be freed by unifying the two versions of the Ha-60 engine - these are Army and Navy "versions" of the same engine. The Argus engine is being used only by the Ka-1 Autogyro, the slot can be freed by assigning the "obsolete engine" to this airframe.

OK thanks LST and others for this - how odd it is. I have fixed it now but it will mean a new version of my mod will be posted later today or tomorrow.
