This patch configures certain setting that I use in the Spring Offensive Campaign.

Operation
Extract SO_Start.zip into the directory/folder that has the Mig Folder.
Use 
Start Mig Alley and select load game.

Explanation of changes and additions
·	All missions are removed and planning is manual.

·	The Players Name is set to "Bo Jangles" click pilot log, change the name to yours, and then click save game to overwite the pilots name.
  
·	The default pilot shows up as the last plane in the F51 Squadron.  When you create a mission you can change this assignment in the Frag menu.

·	The Squadron Pilot assignments have all been updated. High "combat skill" pilots lead the flight.  The wingman always have equal or higher flying skill than their element leader.

·	All Pilots aircraft have the Jolly Rodger selected as the default nose art.
  
·	The Jolly Roger has been removed from Setdecal.x8 so all planes display a clean finish.  I don't give them custom nose art unless they get five kills or complete five successful missions as ground pounders.

·	Thirteen Strike Profiles
	To use these profiles, select a target and click authorize. Then select "user strike" or user patrol.
	It will generate the mission.  Adjust the way points, they get wacked for different targets.
I keep the routes on to ensure to ensure my BARCAP cover them.
If you can't see the waypoints click them on the tool bar.
 
Strike Profile discriptions
I try to keep the Ingress and Egress around the front lines.  I also try to have the rendevous/disperse
around the same amount of flight time for both squadrons.
