hobbit.....just wanted you to know that I used to file your missions under the "what if" tab....as in "what if they work"....unfindable planes, missing facilities, obscure spawns, etc..........made them problematic but fun to try and find the missing files. All your stuff now goes to the "Historical" tab because they work, they're fun to fly, and all the pieces show up when they're supposed to..........good on you ....keep it up, we appreciate it big time and it's been fun to watch your chops evolve. I've never had the courage to attempt the same and put it out there for everybody.... so.......thanks! And thanks to all the guys who did the same since this doggone sim started....I look at the CFS3 mission archive and cringe to think of the time spent making all the missions that are still the monkey's nuts. cheers.....gaw
