Ok, when I copied the Advanced DB without any changes, no air units may be placed

When I copied the Enhanced DB without any changes, no air or orbital units may be placed

When I tried my database with a new unit, no air units are placeable. I tried playing it and discovered that my new unit could not be produced in a city. I went back into the DB editor and added my new unit as transportable by the city. I started a new game and all the air and orbital units may now be placed ??? If I go back into the DB Editor, the terrain placement blocks are still grayed out and inaccessible. If I save the DB and start a new game, no air or orbital units may be placed.

This is correct. Air Unit and Orbital Units cannot be placed in the open Buy Points mode. This is a rule enforced by the game engine, regardless of data settings.

When editing a unit set, it is important to realize that some data attributes may have multiple and hidden/non-intuitive purposes, and setting something may not work as one intended.

The focus of the game design was not centered on modification, as EDEE was. So the road to modification will be rougher.

Apparently, damn nearly impossible given the extremely rudimentary limitations of the Unity Engine.
