For example, the Maiale. If you install the Maiale in SH3, without scripting: Is the Maiale controlled by RND Layer and can it appear in any location? (a Maiale in the coast of Miami or in the Indian Ocean??). And the planes? Without scripting the RND layer put they in any location? (the middle of the Atlantic, for example?).

Ever I have this question in my mind, but never I obtain a positive and definitive resolution.

Best regards.

The simple answer to both questions is no, you won't see them.

If you install the Maiale in SH3 without scripting it you will not see it as the RND layer scripts by ship/aircraft type (in the case of the Maiale it is type 200) and by nation. If you search the _RND layer you won't find any reference to an Italian type 200 as there was only one type of Italian submarine (the Scuka) and they were only scripted into the SCR file.

Aircraft are scripted into the RND layer by specific aircraft (e.g. FBWildcat) so you won't see new planes for the same reasons as above.

I've already released a mod that randomly scripts Turkish and Spanish aircraft into the campaign so here is another one that will script British aircraft around the UK coast - http://www.mediafire.com/?fvi4swlejchj5fo
