Pyro sayeth:
Mission parameters such as type and number of planes, fuel and ordnance loadouts, starting fields and times, and waypoints and instructions can be entered. Players who join a mission have this information transferred to their clipboard and displayed on their map.

I be gawdamned!  I suggested this type of functionality months ago.  To have the ability to type mission parameters out on a editable page on the clipboard and allow others to have the same info pop up on their clipboards.

I even posted about it!  Wait!.....
Heres the post:

I was thinking how useful it would be to use the kneepad to display information specific to countires and/or squads.
Have a selectable page where a squad (or country) could post information in realtime pertinent to a specific mission or event in the arena.

Just another communictaion tool that could be fun and exciting for the folks at HTC.

I dunno, I dorped a line in a post about needing more events the other day, and BAM! there it is on the news board.   .
I think the key is you have to ask for what they are already going to do, but just before they announce it

Perhaps there should be a ticker tape thing on the click board that list missions and who posts them.  Then you could go and select the clipboard page of the current missions.

I.E. I am flying and I check the map on the Clipboard.

A line on the top of the clipboard reads..

Muskateer Escadrille mission A1 to A10.... The Wrecking Crew mission from A6 to A9.... The Sheep Loving Men of Leisurs from A29 to the nearest pen... The 357th A10 to A1...

Etc.. Etc..

Then I go the the missions section of my clipboard and the missions are all listed, start time, compostion, fuel, etc..

I select the mission I want to go on, double click and the specifics come up.

I just show up at the proper time, and viola.
