Fast and easy. Thank you. Those of us who just dont have to skill or time to figure out the full mission builder can make up a dog fight for Coop play on line in a flash. I would like to see OUR mission name show up in the game though. Right now all that shows in the game list is the map name. If you build more than one mission with the same map how would you know which is which?

I have added each generated mission to the RoF mission file and named it to my choosing.
Just save the file to: C/Program Files(x86)/Rise of Flight/data/mission/'your mission name' "
Your saved mission 'your mission name' will show up in the main menu.
I have Vista 64 and it works for me.

Laser and Jason, this is a great addition and I hope NQ can bundle it with the next patch.
Two quick suggestions:
1. It needs a "player flight" and "enemy flight" label in the set up. As presented now it is not clear who is on which side.
2. The missions appear to finish immediately the enemy are destroyed. I had a game finish when the enemy were down to one aircraft gliding to Earth with a dead engine. I was looking forward to shooting it up on the ground and doing a bit of free flight afterwards when suddenly - annoyingly! - the game ended. Is it possible to leave it so that the player decides when to end the game?
Cheers,
RD

A few suggestions/notes:
1. The "airplanes.ini" has a small mistake.
"[AlbatrosD3] Skins=501000_000;501002_a01;501010_a01;501030_a01;501037_a01;501057_a01"
The 501010_a01 should be 501011_a01 (which is the correct Red Baron skin), with the 501010_a01, it gives you a white skin. I heard some complains about this, so that's the reason.
2. Planes in a flight group start too close to each other. Every mission with more than 3 planes in a group result in many collisions. The distance should be higher or the formation settings rearranged.
3. Well, saving the flight group settings (like you said in the readme) shouldn't hurt, would be a nice feature to have.
Thank you very much for this awesome tool! This one, and the predecessor, is the only reason why i always kept playing ROF and didn't just get rid of it. Very nicely done.

Well, if you make a new version, fix the AI gunnery. Even at "low" skill the AI enemy gets a pilot kill on me with a single burst. Every time he gets a shot. Not very realistic or fun. I realize the AI gunnery skill in all of RoF is absurd but giving different skill levels does nothing to adjust it. Otherwise, it's pretty good. "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?"  HT

I can set AI to "Low" just as the Mission Editor does, but what the game does with that value, it's NeoQB-dependent.

Ah, well, if you can't adjust, it you can't adjust it. Thanks for the response (and the builder!) The trick, of course, is to not let the AI bad guy get a shot. But, just once, I would like to see tracers going by without hitting me in the head  S! HT

One more thing:
It seems that because the "attack area" command is set to an alititude of about 200 meters, the planes dive down to those 200 meters and fly circles their. Might make more sense to increase the alititude to about 1000-2000 meters. Also i noticed that "attack groundtargets" is set to 1 by default, that might explain why SPADs and SE5s tend to just drop their bombs at that spot, even though there is no target near by. Atleast i've seen them doing that.

Atleast i've seen them doing that. Good points. Both can be changed in the templates. The first, i will set it to say 1500m (and anyone can change it directly by editing the template missions). The second, it will depend if there are ground targets or not in the template. Thank you for your feedback, now and before  S!
