I'd very much like the ability to have mixed flights in missions/FMB. This would allow for historically correct missions like;

Razor-back & Bubble-top P-47's and P-51's in the same flight

Big gun Yak's with ordinary Yak wingmen

Spit flights with the odd clipped wing Spit in the mix

These are just a few examples that I know can be proven to have existed quite easily off the top of the head. I'm sure there were many others.

However I think it would be a fairly difficult task to make a mod like this due to the nature of mission construction. Any ideas?

I agree, this would be a great mod. Fw-190 D-9 and Fw-190 A-9 flights come to mind.

How about changing the default flight formations for AI aircraft, just to really mix it up a bit more....
Or, better still, some kind of a randomiser option, to allow AI formations to form up in mixed default formations? Hmmm, this would be way cool, IMHO... 8)

Now that would be great! Much needed and appreciated.

how about making flights bigger...like..12 planes.

This is already possible with DGen campaigns: one can increase player's flight size to 12, and one can have several friendly or enemy flights in the same mission, of the same aircraft type (bomber of fighter for instance) but different models, with the combination being changed when each mission is generated, on a random basis. AI squadrons and skins will also be changed each time, on a random basis, if the author made it so that there is such a possibility. If you add RandomFlights=5 to your conf.ini, there will be even more such possibilities of randomly generated flights of various types. Also add AirIntensity=High to your conf.ini, in order to increase flight size.

You can have an illustration of this if you try some of the campaigns included in EnjoyR patches.

DCG also offers such possibilities.

For static campaigns and single missions, it is up to the mission builder.

It would also be good to change the number from 4 say to 10 max and also change the formations of the aircraft
