Information in the download file description, is that to which I am referring.
I have been downloading quite a few Mission Files for CFS3 recently and deleting almost all that I download. This is because the description of the file is often lacking important information, like you will need the following 12 aircraft files in order to run the mission. Now seeking out 12 aircraft files that are not alphabetical is quite a task for someone who is only just starting up again. Not as big a task as the mission builders who are clearly spending a lot of time building the missions in the first place, but still a task. No gain without pain as people would say to shut me up.
So, all I am saying is wouldn't it be nice if the mission descriptions always included a note that told you that extra aircraft and facilities would be needed. Then you can decide whether to use your download allowance or not.
There are mission descriptions that don't tell you what aircraft you are flying, and some say everything included, but when you download, it turns out that everything is not included, and gives you a needit list.
So if you want to someone to go through the mission descriptions for CFS3 and make them comprehensive, I volunteer. But I would need more than 18 downloads per day.

Perhaps list these missions so we can help you.
 
I just deleted all 45. But I'll start listing from now on.
I started from the last page and worked backwards to 19.
Now I've started from the front and am up to page 6, because I was seeking ETO stuff.
 
I was looking for CFS3 twin engine and above Bomber Missions.
The following lacked information on aircraft and extra downloads needed

CFS3 Four Short Missions. 1DM1_DM6.zip
CFS 1940 Pt 3 Charlie DC
CFS 1940 Pt 2 Charlie DC
CFS 1940 Pt 1 Charlie DC

I then had a good run until

70 years ago May 10
ETO_BOE_French_db7_Boston _Mission
Railyard_ERA3_Historical (Did not say it was a Tempest Mission)

Dutch_Coast_Sub_Pens (Broken Link: You will need Greg Law's Drivabel VIIF U-Boat, found at www.regshanger.com/navy.)

ERA_3_What_if.zip. Scant information. No Readme.

The following had good info. No external downloads required.

Gestapo HQs Den Haag
ETO Ramrod 50 Morlaix
Operation Clarion
ETO Lysander Missions (SOE agent pickups. I made some of these for IL-2 so a bit of nostalgia coming up)

Done enough this morning
 
If you are talking about Charlie missions in ETO, I remember he had some but I deleted all as plenty of other good ones for all eras. It's been a while but IIRC the ETO install should have most missions and associated ac, although many missions have been added. Should be in the download section as well as any ac etc.

Yes you are right. ETO already contains a lot of stuff that I was searching through in Resources.
Last night, I flew the Catalina hunting the Bismarck and shadowing it. Brilliant mission. Then I watched Sink The Bismarck. There's one stock shot of a Catalina in it. That's me!
Anyway ETO is absolutely brilliant. A magnificent upgrade. So thanks to all who created it.
