Thanks to all the excellent work by Flyby and the great detailed descriptions of the processes (especially the use of the hexeditor )by Ivor H, I now have a " choice of all planes " "no CD" and "no rockets" version of WOW----sincere thanks guys.
Cheers-- and looking forward to any future modding advances especially re choice of all enemy planes in the Quick Missions and hopefully,eventually, the possibility of making totally new missions with a real historical feel and validity
