Mission Editor

Mission Editor:

Fixes:

When loading previously saved missions, if you have to change the mission starting airfield, the runway will change to hangar.

Enhancements:

Allow you to set all airfields of existing mission to airfield you currently are at, or allow a new one to be typed in.

Flight Leader:  designate a member of a flight to be the flight leader.  This person would have ability to build and post waypoints for their flight, change ordinance/loadouts, A/C type, .. etc of the flight.

Mission Leader:  Allow mission author to transfer ownership of mission to another player, thus allowing original mission builder to build another one.

Campaign Managers: ( CMs )
Allow CMs to build multiple missions for all countries.  This would allow snapshots or other events with specific A/C capabilities to be pre-built for people to join.  
Allow Setting to require enlistment into a mission in order to fly.

Briefings:

Have a briefing room where folks that have joined a mission meet for a pre-flight briefing. Roster of names of those attending.. flight leaders posess a unique tag.. Map of target area and waypoints.  Room control by mission author or person delegated by mission author.

'Launch' button that overrides a launch time.

Text boxes describing mission details:

A MOTD-type text box describing mission details.  Something with more than just a few characters or lines. Make these part of the mission file so they can be saved and loaded later.

Skins:  
Ability to specify skins for each flight.

This is already implemented. You can type someone else's handle in the Mission Editor box and they will be the mission leader. It's really funny to set a mission for an AFK guy.

I started to request the ability to set the mission skin but I see it's was already posted with an even better list.

Put me in for these requests too please.

... continuing..

Allow the mission builder to edit the mission after the join time has expired. Today, when the 'join until' time has passed, you can no longer edit the mission and make waypoint changes, even though the mission is still active.

Ran into an interesting case, last night, where our bomber/escort mission had launched and been airborn for 30 mins or so, when our countrymen were capturing fields before we could get there.  After the espiration time, we couldn't switch the waypoints to the next available target.  

Yeah, I know I should have extended out the join until time, but that makes for confusion when having to choose between multiple missions. Invariably, if there is more than one mission posted, somebody chooses the wrong one.
