Hello everyone.  Vilik here.  I have a question.  Since CFS2's stock missions working fine, is it possible to modify a particular missin by just changeing the locality of events happening,  (say from Henderson to Buna dobodura for example) and keeping the same senario of events?  Of course I wil save it under a new name.
Thanks again,
Vilik  

The quick answer is "yes".

No you cannot. What you can do is change te mission it self. In other word you modify it as you want. By giving it another name it bacome a whole new mission while it keeps the old mission as is. But just it case always backup your original missions so guanratee you won"t lose them.

You can also duplicate them manually by memorizing them and making them form scratch on a different location.

That will take a lot of time dow.

Perhaps some one else has a better subgestion but thats what I know.

Coyote has more experience than I . But I too subgest you get Coyotes Tuturial on Mission Building and learn to build your own.
Its a heck of lots of fun!

PS If you find my response a bit repeticious is because by accident Coyote and I where writting our post at the same time. Only he posted his first.

A quick way of keeping the old mission is to open it with notepad or wordpad, immediately click on "save as" from the file menu, type in a a new name and save (also change the name within the text and save before closing). You can then use this newly named mission for your edit.
As Cody_Coyote states, you can easily enough change your runways but, if the waypoints are too far away, you'll either have to cut your throttle and then warp or you'll run out of fuel. Reducing the throttle and flying the distance (perhaps with a time increase) may work but is still distance dependant (if flying WW2 planes it could, in reality, cause havoc with the engine; it was done, however).
