Peter,
great! Thank you for your concern.
I saw in the 1.2.7 version the tag "Static objects tools" that I imagine is related to the topic of processing the static.ini file and it would be great to have a gui tool to find missing entries, remove duplicates, sort alphabetically, etc. I thought that you already have seen the:
(The link is inoperative)
Regarding your wonderful additions to the Toolbox, they are pretty close to be operative. I was trying to figure how the files of the QMT are compossed. Here you have a couple of examples:
air.ini:
BlenheimMkI air.BLENHEIM1 2 f01 WINTER
plane_ru:
BlenheimMkI Blenheim Mk.I, 1935
QMT_Aircraft:
A,Blenheim Mk.I (1935),BLENHEIM1,BlenheimMkI,,,12
air.ini:
Do-335A-0 air.DO_335A0 2 NOINFO g01 SUMMER
plane_ru:
Do-335A-0 Do-335A-0, 1944
QMT_Aircraft:
F,Do-335 A-O (1944),DO_335A0,Do-335A-0,,,23
air.ini:
B-17D B_17D 1 NOINFO usa01 DESERT
plane_ru:
B-17D B-17D, 1941
QMT_Aircraft:
A,B-17D (1941),B_17D,,,*,3
The first capital (which only is F or A, I think that stands for Flyable or AI) but considering that basically all the moddeds planes listed in a typical air.ini are flyable, the F is the logical letter (I think that the original QMT config files are old).
The final numbers for each line are a mistery for me. They can be 1, 2 or 3 or any combination of them (12, 23, etc.). I don't know what do they mean. In some cases between the pauses you see this: ,*, that I neither understand how it works. But the fact is that it seems that without any * and with 12 any plane is loaded (I did it manually).
So, the general rule seems to be:
air.ini:
CorsairMkIV air.F4UCORSAIR4 1 NOINFO gb01 DESERT
plane_ru:
CorsairMkIV Corsair MK.IV, 1944
QMT_Aircraft:
F,Corsair MK.IV (1944),F4UCORSAIR4,CorsairMkIV,,,3
As I said the F is an F and the last number is a mistery. But there is another thing: the listing places at the beginning all the Allies planes, and later, after having reached the Z it starts with the first Axis plane until the end. The name that it creates like Name (year), is only the title, so it perfectly can be kept in the way that it appears in the plane_ru: Name, year
And finally (sorry for all these comments), the weapons are quite good but not exactly. Yours look like this:
Default,default,B-17D
Default,default
20x100 lb. Bombs,20x100
14x300 lb. Bombs,14x300
4x1000 lb. Bombs,4x1000
Empty,none
But the original is like this:
20x100 lb. Bombs,20x100,B_17D
14x300 lb. Bombs,14x300
4x1000 lb. Bombs,4x1000
Empty (No Ammo),none
It means that the repeated Default line in your generated file doesn't have to appear at all. The last line adds the (No Ammo) label to the Empty, I don't know if it is strictly necessary, I couldn't test it.
Again: many thanks for your work and thank you very much for your fast action. Whatever you need from me regarding testing the app I can help you. I only program on Delphi (Pascal) but if you require something I'm here to help.

Pablo
