How to edit Waypoints for good?

[SAG]

Is there an option for changing the default cruise speed of waypoints before they are generated?
It is really tiring having to change each waypoint's speed from 360kph to something faster for every single mission.

I tried changing the value of Cruise speed on "PWCGBoS\BoSData\Input\Aircraft/PLANE NAME" to 440 for the F4 for example but the waypoints just keep being generated at 360kmh.

 

Is there something I can do to remedy this?

In the ME quite simple: edit one, and enter the next with the mouse holding L-Shift at the same time.

Or select all to be changed and edit them as <mult>.

Thanks for the input Jolly, I'm talking about changing the Waypoint speeds on the Waypoint Editor inside PWCG. are you too?

Opening the generated mission on the game's ME would be even more cumbersome than changing the waypoints inside PWCG itself.

Cruise speed is set to 360kmh for F4s somewhere in the game or PWCGs files and I would like to change that setting instead of editing each mission, if that makes sense.

Nope alas, PWCG is a great tool but the drawback is all the txt files it needs to generate ...

Short answer is not at the moment.

Time to learn using the editor and do whatever you like. ? ............(up to a point)

It is something that i can add, so I'll take note.  As with all things that I can add, it is a certain amount of work to do it, so no guarantees  on when.

I was actually able to increase the default speed of the generated waypoints to 440kmh by editing the "Cruise Speed" for each plane in the file that contains the info for a squadron's planes. I created a bug that way though, the AI sometimes wouldn't take off and would just try to taxi from the runway, all the way back to the runway.

EDIT:

If I change cruise speed in the following link, all planes created in a new campaign will have the new speed on the waypoints (I think it'll use the the slowest plane in the flight to determine the speed of the waypoints).

C:.....\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\PWCGBoS\BoSData\Input\Aircraft

If I want to change the "cruise speed" of a plane that already exists  then I have to change the "Cruise speed" on the following file for every plane

C:\...\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\PWCGBoS\User\Campaigns\CAMPAIGN_NAME\Equipment/Squadron ID

 

Changing the latter is what introduced the bug
