I'm ready to give this exciting mod a try but I've run into an odd problem (running Windows 7). When I get to the "run your mission editor now" screen and press alt + tab nothing happens. After I give up and proceed with the mission in WOFF, then alt + tab works. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks.

Try to run some simple application in background (Notepad or something similar) before you start WOFF. Then Alt-Tab should work

That works, thanks.

One mission I forgot to open Notepad first so I just used the "windows" key (between the ctrl and alt keys) to get to the desktop. That seemed to work too. Is there any advantage to using alt-tab instead of the windows key or are they equivalent?

I think the Windows key is smarter solution than Notepad thumbsup

Then I will just stick with the windows key option instead.

JJJ65, I want to add to all of the accolades that you've received by saying that your ME is tremendous and nearly essential. My favorite feature is having the option to immediately get into new model planes when they first arrive instead of waiting for weeks while HAs with lower rank and fewer victories have them first.

Well done and thank you.

Thanks for your continued work on the ME, JJJ. Keep this up and OBD might insist you include it in WOE!

Mission Editor v 1.1.7.8 released ME 1.1.7.8

List of changes:
1) added mission pilot backup feature - if you experience crash after mission start due to "underground pilots" or sudden return to debriefing screen while losing entire flight or pilot is killed due to other reason, start Mission editor, click "Open debrief file" and you will be presented wih option to restore your last mission pilot (backup is created automatically by Mission editor before mission start after clicking Save button). Just do not forget to run ME and click Save button before each mission.
2) added buttons for inserting new pilot, either before or after current pilot,
3) fixed possible bugs in file loading routine,
4) fixed wind speed conversion from kts to m/s - winspeed is properly converted to dynamic weather file now via Weather mod. In former versions of Weather mod the wind speed was multiplied by two.

Enjoy!

This is great JJJ. So much added between updates. Can't wait to try this out!

Regarding the "added Mission pilot backup feature". Could you explain just what files are backed up? I am interested to know if it backs up all the same files I have in my pilots backup utility. Thanks mate.

@Robert
It backups pilot files - PilotxxLog.txt, PilotxxDossier.txt, PilotxxSquads.txt and PilotxxClaims.txt, which is enough to allow user fully resurrect his fallen pilot. It backups only one pilot at once - WOFF's currently active pilot.

Ah, I see. It is not a replacement for mine then, but a good recovery feature for your program. If a user uses my program to backup WOFF pilots and other files there is an option to start the WOFF sim right after the backup is complete. Without your backup feature, running my program will also restore the pilot to it's status just prior to the failure.

That's good that you explainex it. Thanks

Yep, Robert, your backup utility is more complex - it covers all pilots and WOFF settings. However, my simple pilot backup does not need any user input - it does all its work in background every time a mission is saved in ME. I added this feature to ME, because I am really lazy man and I did not want to run a complete backup utility before each flight wink . Also, I experience very often "underground" flight phenomenon - almost every first mission a day, so this pilot backup is very usefull.
BTW, I suspect this error may have something with slow (pre)loading of some resources/libraries during first CFS3 start, because it happens (to me) only at first mission after WOFF start.

Sorry if this is a daft question JJJ,I hope you can clear it up for me.

4.fixed wind speed conversion from kts to m/s...I took 2 flights last night and after I edited my flight and it opened up the wind box in ME,it still showed the min and max wind speed in kts. Is this right pal?
Thanks Jara

Yes, that is right. You can still input speeds in knots, just ME writes converted speed (in m/s) to Dynamic weather file.
Previous versions of ME did not make conversion, so wind speed in mission was incorrect - roughly two times higher. For example: if you filled wind speed 2 - 6 knots, you got wind speed 4 - 12 knots, because 1 m/s equals to ca 2 knots. That was fixed in ME 1.1.7.8.

If you disable winds in Workshop and use ME Weather mod, you will lost wind gusting and turbulence, so I recommend to leave this setting ON.
