Here is a handy function to call before you do createVehicle or other create* command during missing init scripts, which should activate missing addons without having to worry about re-adding previously added addons.
Usage would be "Land_BurntGarbage_01_F" call fnc_prepareClassAddons.fnc_prepareClassAddons = { private _class = toLower _this; // To avoid double checks if(isNil"var_addonCheckedClasses") then {var_addonCheckedClasses = createHashMap;}; if(_class in var_addonCheckedClasses) exitWith {}; // Finding missing addons private _needed = unitAddons _class apply {toLower _x}; private _active = activatedAddons; private _missing = _needed - (_needed arrayIntersect _active); if(count _missing > 0) then { // Adding everything again, engine will figure it out itself _active append _missing; activateAddons _active; }; var_addonCheckedClasses set [_class, _needed]; };
