Matt, I have just seen your above post, having myself been making a few changes to the generic mission even as you were doing so. Do not Panic!! - I have saved it to the Dropbox under new title -- "Generic Caucasus Trg Updtd.miz".
Changes I made to the earlier one (i.e before you made your changes) are:
Reset Tankers as follows:
Texaco KC-135MPRS FL 180; 248 kias; set to invisible (to stop red ac attacking it)
Arco KC-130 FL 240; 197 kias;
Shell KC-135 FL 200; 218 kias.
(I would have thought that it would be a bit touchy up at 35,000 ft - can you comfortably hold 260 kias with a full weapons load and tanks - even empty ones.)
I have also given all the F-18s a single waypoint (WP1), located at the present BullsEye and titled "Bulls", so as to allow F/A18s to use Picture and Bogey Dope info from AWACs.
Incidentally, I checked that all three Tanker worked OK and they all gave me fuel.
The KC-130 was bit wallowy at 197 kias, but it will not accept a higher speed at that height.
Amazingly the KC-135 actually shoved its boom into my probe and gave me fuel - I nearly fell off my chair, but it's a lot easier than trying to hit he basket yourself!!
Finally I added a bit more info to the brief. (Tanker speeds, and Carrier BRC for example.)
Sorry about crossed threads but at least you have 2 options to choose from.
We should also 'prune' that Dropbox radically. I will remove all my outdated and superseded missions (I have backups if required).
