Hi threedp, it is possible to modify the number of aircraft appearing in QC, by editing the aircraft numbers in the uisel.xml file, in the Appdata pathway.
However CFS3 does not handle it very well if you try to jam in a lot of aircraft, they tend to appear in a clump and not spread out. Also the hand edited aircraft numbers in the uisel do not seem to "stick" for very long. I've experimented with larger formations in my BoB install, but did not perservere for very long.

This formation (ID=6003) involves two hurricanes. Note that each hurricane has a unique unit ID number, and that the numbers are sequential. Adding another aircraft to this formation, the next Unit ID = 9369. However if there are more formations in a mission, you have to take care not to overlap Unit ID numbers.
You are better off modifying the missions in the mission builder, because it will tell you pretty quickly if you've missed something.
By the way, IIRC these missions are based on some historical events - if the missions appear hard because there are only a few of you and tons of enemy, it's because it really WAS hard flying through the BoB era! In the Bob Ruff missions the further on you went, the bigger the furballs, but I tended to die very early on in the sequence!
