Are they added "globally" or to specific scenarios?

Globally. They replaced existing generic unit models.

I do not think the mapfixes made it thru.

Naval production site Horsholm without seaport, glitches like Shanghai where the sea pier and military goods are in the same spot, also 2 rubber synth are glitched. Altho i see a facility removed in shanghai, so i guess MG can go there.
I can check for the other spots i provided to you guys if you want, all modern map.

I noticed a few things with the latest beta patch.

First off it looks like Kuwait does not have a leader in the 2020 sandboxes.

DDG-173 Kongō is using the mesh for the Kongō class fast battleships. If you want to use the one I made (instead of the other one I made ^_-) it should be 1662 instead of 1544.

You have added the España class dreadnoughts as part of great war but they are already in the game as they where in service in 1936. The same is true with some US battleships (Wyoming and New York I am certain off there might be more). Not sure if they are supposed to represent upgrades but given that the un-researched great war US battleships are better than the 1936 representation I suppose not. Also the Españas where hardly modernised so they should not have multiple versions at all.

Alot of units from Zuikaku's mod are still not in the game (or not researched). Altho you guys claimed you did in the update 1 year ago.

few examples from Russia:
Speznatz (well theres one, but i think its the one from CW)
Buk
Armata (this one seems bugged, cant even research it)

I fixed the Armata in my mod, but dont even remember how i did it 1 year ago. Prolly just add it in the .CVP file.

Other examples are special forces for UK and France.

I think BGs ported unit database file from my mod, but not CVP file.
Also, Armata is not bugged, it can be researched but if I remember correctly, you have to research Black Eagle in order to research Armata.

I've just installed it on Windows 10, had to run it in win 7 compatibility mode to get it to work first from a fresh game install. It gave me a dx9 couldn't be created error message. Runs fine since I've run in compatibility mode. (fresh install of win10 too since my HDD died).

I assume the new mp lobby is supposed to look like the old lobby?

I'm liking the new models, good job Nerei!

As I said, I've fixed it by running as admin the first time I ran the game and running in compatibility mode (one of them fixed it for me). It probably wouldn't let it be installed without admin permission.
