thanks in advance, great wwi sim.

Hi Packham, welcome to the forum!

If I understand it correct you mean that you want to abort your mission and refly the same mission again?

I think it is possible but you wil have to use JJJ65's Mission Editor mod.
You can get it in the mod section of this forum.
Takes a bit to learn to use it but once you get the hang of it , it's an unmissable program to improve this already excellent sim!

If I am understanding you correctly it is not possible to re-fly a mission in the campaign. Time, and the war, marches on and you have to live with your success or failure.

Now it is possible to "save" a campaign mission and fly it is a single mission later as much as you like but it will not count toward your campaign.

With enough file manipulation, and some renaming, it might be possible to re-use it, on the fly, in a campaign but Hellshade (or was it OldHat?) would be your "go-to" guy for that as he did some similar work with historical missions IIRC.

EDIT: Simultaneous post with the above.

Hermani & Duke, thanks.
It would be better for my boys to face their fate.

That's how I do it.
If I get some particularly annoying outcome I just restart the campaign.

You could use the pilot backup utility to ensure you don't lose a pilot to a system failure or another type of bad experience. You will find the tool on the mods site.

Peckham, welcome to WOFF!

You can set pilot never dies in workshop, then if you die in a way that you "like" then stop using the pilot, otherwise live to fight on.

Thank you Robert.
I did forget about your invaluable tool, which I admit to sometimes using, if something particularly spectacular occurs like the 1 in 500 chance of starting "underneath" the flight line with associated mass squadron casualties. Been a while since I have seen that.

But in normal combat wear & tear I usually take my lumps and restart but I restart constantly not just for death anyway.
If I have not flown a certain saved career for a while I will usually just restart it. Kind of a "flow thing."

Thank you all for your advices. Everything is really new to me.

Welcome to the "mess tent" Packham. You will find the immersion second to none.

Yes indeed, welcome Packham!
