This additional, Compatibility Add-On-specific guide will require you to understand this guide first.

In this additional guide to the PPDT editing guide above, I will teach you how to disable add-on planes that you don't want to use from my Compatibility Add-On PPDT. You can re-enable the add-ons by reverting the changes that will be shown here.


Unpack Compatibility_Add-Ons-PPDT_P.pak first by dragging it into UnrealPak-Batch-With-Unpack.bat.



A new folder titled Unpack will be generated, and inside it will be the unpacked .PAK's folder.



And inside that .PAK folder will be the PPDT.uasset/uexp and the PPDT.json

Ignore the .JSON, it's irrelevant to what we will be doing here.

First things first, create this folder structure: Nimbus\Content\Blueprint\Information inside the .PAK folder, and copy the .uasset/uexp and .JSON into the Information folder. This is essential when we will be repacking the .PAK.



Open the PPDT.uasset with UAssetGUI, double-click on Export Data, and then Export 1 (PlayerPlaneDataTable), and then Table Info. Under Table Info, you can see a lot of rows.

That's a lot of rows.


The first Row (70) indicates the start of the add-on rows.


Clicking on those rows, you'll see this:


You can check the PlaneID to cross-check with the add-ons list below. You can also check the PlaneStringID, which is the internal name of the add-ons.

Add-on rows in release order:
  • Row_148 - zx01 -> ADFX-00[AC2] (ADFX-00 Falken Add-On)
  • Row_149 - zx02 -> ADFX-00[ACI] (ADFX-00 Falken Add-On)

  • Row_210 - arkb -> Arkbird
  • Row_211 - f15se -> F-15SE Silent Eagle
  • Row_212 - x02sb1 -> X-02S Block.1


You might notice I skipped Row_170, and that's because, the F-14B (f14b) was originally Row_170, but that makes the plane only has SPW1 for some fucking reason. Mega, on my behalf, also had to skip Row_190 due to it causing whatever plane using said row number to not have SPWs, at all.


Clicking on a plane row, focus on the 3rd (technically 4th, but it says 3, so, yeah) row:


We'll be changing EPlaneTargetMode::CampaignAndOnline into EPlaneTargetMode::VR



Now, on top-left, click View, and then Recalculate Nodes (or Shift+F).

This will "refresh" the PPDT .uasset.

After that, you can save the file and pack the .PAK folder according to Part Three of this guide.
Now, in-game, the add-on you disabled will no longer appear. If you want to re-enable the add-ons in question, just revert back the changes we made here.
Also, if you've made changes to your PPDT, like ammo changes, I recommend listing down those changes on a .TXT file and copying them over every time my patch gets updated. Maybe it's a lot of things to do for an average user, but that's just modding.
