Running a Coop Campaign Mission as Single Player

[pakfront]

PWCG coop is awesome, but my friend and I have trouble getting together regularly. We hope to fly MP when possible. but we may try playing a bunch of the missions single player and handing the files back and forth.

 

If we have only one player in our coop group flying a mission, is there a way to get PWCG to export a single player offline mission instead of a multiplayer online mission? I realize the player can just run a local MP server with one player, but anecdotally the sim can handle more AI units  if it is run as an SP mission.

Probably not without editing the mission.  The mission is declared to be coop and all player planes are designated coop.  I have never tried it but my guess is that if you tried to just play it as SP it would not work.
