Hmmm ... 141kb or so of download per fixed mission ... I can live with that.

And the extra 146kb for the folder fix is a one-off issue I think, so I can live with that too.

Anyway, the fix is there if TD want to use it. If they consider it to be bloat that's ok too. Individuals can still cut and paste from here as a half-fix if they want to.

Now I have a Chinese I-16 mission waiting for me to fly so I'll be off! :)

Then again, for some patches you have a separate download for skins. So, you could have a separate download for these missions. In this way, you could also have those missions available for people who don't want to upgrade to the latest patch; for example, most people who have mods. And now that' I think of it, troubleshooting wouldn't take too much time, so you're right in that regard, but we'll still need to test balance. For example, for correcting the Soviet P-47 mission I had to change delayed start time of a flight to a delayed take-off, so now this flight is a sitting duck for like 8 minutes. And the corrected He-162 mission now has some taxiing. So, you could have planes crashing during taxi under certain circumstances. Is that better than the original take-off in pairs solution I provided at the beginning? That would need a balance check.

Besides, deleting files may be counterproductive, because people may have done modifications to their own files and that would mean loosing those changes. You could have a readme file, but there is a chance people wouldn't read it.

By the way, you making this post means that you care enough about the community that you are willing to offer some fixes, so kudos to you. At the risk of sounding repetitive, I could send you my missions or you could send me yours, in order to upload them to M4T. If I send them to you, you could check for balance for the taxiing and taking off in pairs versions of the He-162 mission. We could also upload them here as in a separate post, so people can test the balance of every mission that has issues and other missions both of us hadn't notice. So we make a big pack before uploading it somewhere.

I am able to accomplish the mission parameters about 60% to 65% of the time with the mission in the code box below. I set the level of destruction at 50%.
If I lower the destruction level to 25% I was unable to achieve the mission objective almost every time.

Changes:

• No user loadout enabled
• Altered all of the waypoints for the Red aircraft.
• Japanese aircraft no longer have parachutes
• altered Target Timeout to 12 minutes.
• Increased Target radius to 2500 meters
• Added a static camera near the action
• Altered vehicle waypoint paths to keep them on the roads
• Altered ship waypoint paths in .mis file (Reducing size of ships waypoint paths in the .mis file)

Thanks for making an effort with this Wheels. I did three full play throughs of your version and each time the surviving AI P-40s landed safely. So kudos to you that issue #1 appears solved in your version as well as mine. :)

Issue #2 needs some work though. I'll send you a PM on that.

This are my fixes for the USSR P-47N1 mission and for the German He-162 mission. I initially made a fix for the latest as taxi to take-off, but now it seems to not work. My flight doesn't start moving unless I tell them so. Weird, as it seemed to work earlier.
P-47
Changes

• For the IL_4_DB3T of r0132 and r0133 I changed a later start time to a delayed take-off. Used stationary aircraft as spawn points

• Take off is in pairs.

Mission didn't fit complete. [House] and [FrontMarkers] will be on next post

Please see prevoius post

Fhechene, I'll try to take a look at your missions sometime. I'm just tied up with other things at the moment.

As the leader you need to tell the other planes in your flight to start their engines unless you use the autopilot.

Man, you always know what's wrong. You deserve a lemon pie. I mean it.
So, the taxi to take-off version of the
He-162
Changes

• All planes and most chiefs start a little far away from their original waypoints or sleep a couple of minutes, to compensate for the time the planes take in taxiing
• Added some runway objects, so planes don't have issues for taxiing
• Not related to the fix, but, the target convoy got separated in its individual vehicles, so if in the future DT introduces individual targeting for each plane of a flight, you can choose individual objects for each plane, like the M16 in the convoy.

For [Houses] and [Frontmarkers] see post 17 of this thread.
