I can add them to the sim but how do they show up?

I can go in a mission or career or a patrol but they are not in the drop down list.
I can edit the cfg to HumanPlayable but that does nothing, this is what I'm trying to find out, by adding a sub or ship that is listed as 'Playable' but where is it in the sim?

Ah. That's a little more complicated, but not difficult. Following is to add non-player controlled units. I'm not familiar with how to make a unit player usable.
They also have to be in the roster of whatever nation they belong to. data/roster/x/xx, where x means country they belong to and xx means what they are; ship, sub, etc

Campaign:
- if you want them in a campaign, you have to add them to either the campaign.rnd of .scr file.
If you're interested in doing that, just ask. Again, bit of work but not difficult.

Single Mission;
- I haven't messed with these much, so not sure how to add them to these but every single mission has a file with it so open that up with the mission editor and you'll probably see what to do. data/singlemissions/x, where x is whatever language you want to use.
