Mission Editor "Join Time" missing

[Eagle327]

Mission Editor "Join time" limit.

Can't find a proper forum for Mission Editor stuff, so here goes....

I created a combined bomber, escort & jabo mission last Wednesday night.
There seems to be no little window (or option) to set the minutes the mission will be available to join.

I see only "Launch time" and "Current time"

It seems to default to only a 2 minute join window.

If this is true, pilots in flight have no chance to land and join the mission.
This is sad cuz many countrymen usually join our missions in the past.

Did I miss something ?

Please advise.

You didn't miss anything - the join time got chopped to make missions easier to set up (and hence more used).

The default is 2 minutes now, but if you have a better duration recommendation for the join delay then please post it here.

Thanks,

me myself sudz i would like a 4 min delay in joining. because i have missed so many missions because of 1 min.

Thanks, Sudz.

I hereby officially request "Join Mission Time Limits" be increased to 10 minutes, OR alternately, re-installed to mission creator's discretion, as before.

Justification:
Many players are missing the launch, as the Join window of 2 minutes is far too short.   Even 5 minutes does not give an in-flight player time to land and join.

Any predetermined Join time assumes players are in wait on the ground.  This is not realistic.

Salute,

Be nice if we had an option of joining a missioin while inflight so that our next flight was in the mission.
