Aircraft upgrade in v1.5

[Bombur]

-It seems v1.5 will allow the players to select their own upgrades. While this is a good development. Will the player be able to change to planes from Army to Navy (in the case of Japan, for instance, upgrade your A6M5 to Ki-84), or from a country to another (British flying B-29´s or USA pilots flying Spitifires)? I hope it won´t be possible, because it would create a lot of confusion. But, in the event of these crazy upgrades being impossible, how will we define what planes can be flown by what squadrons? Currently it is defined by upgrade paths, but if they become useless....then what will happen? And what about new planes, how to define if they are for Japanese Army or USMC, for instance, if there aren´t fields to edit this?

No Japanese Army can only select army aircraft, Navy only Navy

or from a country to another (British flying B-29´s or USA pilots flying Spitifires)? I hope it won´t be possible, because it would create a lot of confusion.

US can't use British aircraft and vise versa... that type of change can still be specified in the data base and that option will be on the available list of choices.

But, in the event of these crazy upgrades being impossible, how will we define what planes can be flown by what squadrons? Currently it is defined by upgrade paths, but if they become useless....then what will happen?

When you click on the upgrade button a new window opens with the possible selections shown along with the number of aircraft in the pool to help you make your decision.

And what about new planes, how to define if they are for Japanese Army or USMC, for instance, if there aren´t fields to edit this?

the way Mike coded it it looks like it will take care of itself, I added P-38F to a new scenario in developement and it has the same upgrad possibilities as the P-38 G
