Hi X_Man, sorry for the slow reply, I must have been sleeping and didn't notice the new posting :-?
Firstly, I'm glad someone has commented on the ability to manage the whole MOD aircraft thing via Notepad :cheers:.
When I first started on this new feature I was only going to offer adding/editing via notepad (which is how I have always worked with this kinda stuff), but then I got to thinking that I would be doing a lot of MM users out of a potentially nice new feature simply because I hadn't put enough effort into it, that thought led me to build the front end to help the whole thing along.
As far as the campaign generator goes, I'm just too old, too fat and too lazy to take on a challenge that big now days, perhaps 5 or 6 years ago!! :mrgreen: All jokes aside though, MM has always been a reasonably close reflection of how I personally play IL-2 which is quick single player action, move the scenario quickly to something new and then go again. I have never even played a campaign and to be honest I wouldn't even know where to start on such a project never mind the time it would take to build a quality example of a campaign generator.
I'll be honest and say that the thought has crossed my mind before, but at least for the near future that is as far as I can take it.
Thanks for posting and I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Cheers, CS.
