Hey all. I was just looking at the horrifically lopsided numbers of my Squadron's Duty Room and lamenting that because I have all aces enabled, and the Major in charge of my squadron (a Major E. L. Conran MC, if Wikipedia is to be believed - amazing what you can look up!) refuses to assign more than two or three aircraft to any given patrol, the vast majority of the squadron (basically anyone but me, my wingman, and the squadron's two Historical aces at this point) gets no airtime at all. Since my avatar's promotion to Captain recently, I've started messing about with flight staffing in the Mission Editor in order to get everyone into the air more often - either by swapping out whomever happens to be with me in B flight, or, if A flight has nothing going on, putting together a short patrol to the lines and back with five or six men on it. It promises to be a reasonable solution, but I was wondering if anyone has had success with any other methods? Sorry for the ramble, It's kinda late and I tend to type more than I should.

TL:DR I've been using the Mission Editor to give more of the AI Pilots in my squadron more flying hours. Have any of you achieved the same goal by other means, and if so, how?

I do the same but, of course, I am biased towards Mission Editor wink.
BTW, I am glad it works for you.
The only other solution i am aware of is to enable only TopAces, however, with sacrifice of the most of historial persons from your squad.
