Unable to Upgrade Bought Planes

Yeah, undoubtedly not the first time this has been brought up, but I was hoping someone could quickly tell me how to fix this.

I got ARMA a few months ago and it wasnt ever a problem with just DD.

Locate your current savegame file and back it up (ZIP/RAR it). Open it and search for the name of the affected unit(s). Those units should have a country = line with a country tag of the country you bought this unit from. Change this tag to your country tag and they should upgrade.

Example: an air unit bought from Germany should have country = "GER" . If you are Italy then change it to country = "ITA"

Just delete the entire line of code.

Thanks for the responses.

I cant mod savegames, unfortunately. My comp cant handle it right now but I am getting a new laptop soon which should be able to. I am still not very fond of the idea of having to mod the savegame every time I buy a unit off an ally, though.

Is there no way to prevent the problem from arising in the first place? I dont understand why this isnt an issue in DD but is in Arma. :wacko:

GAWD, people are soooooo impatient. Send your ally the tech blueprints and he will get around to upgrading it for you.
