here's a little piece I wrote a year or so ago as user feed back comment on M4T website.

The outstanding Mission Mate for IL2FB+AEP+PF

This handy little utility was designed to fill the gap between the in game Quick Mission Builder (QMB) and Full Mission Builder (FMB).

Mission Mate (MM) does this so well, that there is no longer a need for the QMB. MM's ability to quickly set up way points is far beyond the template driven style of the QMB, where repetition was the order of the day.

It also has some cool features that make it an essential tool in both the pre and post FMB categories.

One of these features, unique in the world of 3rd party mission editors for the IL2 series, is the ability to custom build fleets of ships with just a few mouse clicks. This alone can totally squash the time it takes to build missions involving naval operation's.

Being a bit of a Fleet Air Arm fan, I find this "fleet feature" so good that I sometimes overlook some of the other really useful stuff, like Mission Mates ability to quickly edit missions you've already built or got elsewhere: change planes, altitudes, load outs, pre-view and change skins with ease. etc., etc.

It's easy to install and currently (v.2.4) only takes up 28.7megs on my drive.

Finally, I find the program easy to use and intuitive for the basic stuff, although to get at the more complex features I recommend having a look at the excellent on-line help.

I gave this one 5 Stars simply because it deserves it

Suck up...


Just kidding It's an excellent piece of software and still gets lots of use from me despite also having QMB+
