Campaigns "Too many wingmen lost..."

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off, or change the annoying "Too many wingmen lost during this campaign" that comes up and then ends the campaign?

This just seems to be an annoying and ridiculous feature built in to CFS2
 
Go to the cfs2 PILOTLOG folder, find the file for your pilot and open it with notepad. croll down to and change the number of wingmen lost. I don't know how to turn this function off. You will pobably need to do this with long campaigns like the USS Essex CV9 Campaign.

Thanks, -yes I've seen that one but not tried it out yet. - Sometimes you can understand how pilots in WW2 might have actually shot down their own side, out of sheer frustration!! I bet it probably happened as well.

That worked fine, thanks. Seems the "lost wingmen" limit is 12. the Guadalcanal and Bataan campaigns can get to this quite easily, and probably also the Khalkhin Gol campaign with so many aircraft in the sky and lots of missions.
