oldschoolie... let's try something else, could you count how many lines of text are present on both your air.ini, as well as plane_ru.properties?
best thing is to open each file in NOtepad, then make sure that in Format menu you disable Word Wrap, now go to the view map and select Status Bar... now the number of the lines will display... see if each file has the same number of lines.
After that, open each side by side and see if the plane items match for all planes. I have several mods installed, prolbably most of the plane mods from here installed, including several betas as well, and I don't have any of those issues... not sure why...
BTW, I have Magister and Swordfish installed, but not Sea Fury, which does not have it's own slot, at least the last time I checked... I only install MODs which have their own slots... I don't like substituting existing slots (modifying the original slots)... not sure why that would cause a problem, but I guess it could depending on what you are replacing...
My MODs use mostly existing parts and the work of the ORIGINAL models, much in the same way that IL-2 originally did it... with some of their models. If you replaced any of the existing original models with "new" parts... then there could be the conflict... This may happen if you use mods that do not have their own slots... you run the risk of things simply not working right... it is a great way to test new models, but you run the risk of having something else not work... To avoid that, my MODS all come with their own slots.
...
To better explain what I am talking about... lets take this example...
- I create a new slot of the Fw-190D-9. I create the new files needed to use the existing "infrastructure", or existing meshes and from the original model, as well as FM... This way I can make modifications to the Fw-190D-9, without changing the original "stock" D-9 that came with IL-2 1946, a big part of the policies here...
- Now say a MOD with no new slot uses the original Fw-190D-9 files, and changes and substitutes them... now a mod with its own slot which may use some of the original files will either not find them, or use the unintended files, in each case, either crashing, or not producing the intended results...
in can happen to the best of us...
