The stock Recon spawns are supposed to support recon missions in campaign play. But they were missing goal and damage percent information.
This recon spawn set fixes that and now you can fly a successful recon campaign mission.
NBB: There are twelve different campaign missions available to the writer of a campaign. Because the stock recon missions did not work, there may be some newer campaigns written without the recon mission available to select.
In addition, some aircraft do not have the information in their loadouts as to what the appropriate loadout for a recon mission is. Always check your aircraft's .xdp file, loadouts section, to ensure that the "Recon" option is mentioned as a Missiontype in a suitable loadout. A suitable loadout would be one with fuel tanks on pylons, or if not available, the "Clean" loadout option would be the default to have "Recon" added as a Missiontype.
Eg. you often find a loadout looking like this in an aircraft's .xdp file:
< Loadout Name="Clean" MissionType="CAP" >< /Loadout > NBB spaces are added to get the lines to appear here otherwise xml stuff does not appear here in this description. Best to use an xml editor when modifying an aircraft xdp file unless you know what you are doing.
You need to include Recon:
< Loadout Name="Clean" MissionType="CAP,Recon" > < /Loadout >
Note there are no spaces in the MissionType field only comma separation of types eg CAP,Recon,Intercept.
