UQMG 4.6.8 - Introducing UQMM, the UberQuick Mission Manager
============================================================
Dear UQMG users,

I am extremely excited to announce the immediate availability of the most exciting UQMG upgrade to date, not only it brings all new features of the UQMM, it provides every upgrade released for UQMG to date. It is free, of course, and will bring your UQMG to version 4.6.8. The total number of updates and new features are too many describe, so I will highlight the most important ones below. All in all, IL-2 FB will bring you now more enjoyment than ever with the new features in UQMG.

* Announcing the UQMM (UberQuick Mission Manager), a powerful, yet very easy to use tool that (I hope) will transform FB/AEP for both Off-line and Online players alike. It is a separate application that is embedded within UQMG, yet it uses the same premise as UQMG, where three versions of a mission are generated (Single Play in None Country, Coop version, and DF version). The following are the features of UQMM:

* Original Missions are NEVER Overwritten - edited missions are playable in the same location as the UQMG Missions

* Ability to play any mission in FB/AEP from enemy's perspective (if flyable enemies are available) with objectives AUTOMATICALLY converted for playing as the enemy.

* Play Any Coop Mission As SP Mission - Not an online player? But would like to play those Coop missions as an SP mission? Now you can, and you get to choose which plane you fly in.

* Play Any Campaign Mission As SP Mission - For static campaigns, you have access to all missions in the campaign; for DGEN missions, you have access to all completed or generated missions; for DCG you have access to the current mission for ongoing campaigns (if you choose the backup option, past missions will be available in the SP country folder); for NGEN, you have access to all completed or generated missions - and you get to pick which plane you fly in, because those missions are like Coop missions.

* Play Any SP Mission and Choose Which plane to fly - Ever wished you could choose a different plane for a mission? Now you can. You can even pick an enemy plane, and fly from the enemy's perspective (a feature that UQMG users are familiar with - but now is available for all missions in FB) with objectives automatically converted to enemy.

* Play Any Campaign Mission, but Choose which plane to fly - Same as above but with Campaign missions.

* Play Any Mission as a Coop Mission - Automatically generated for you whether you picked a Coop mission, an SP mission, or a Campaign mission.

* Play Any Mission as a DF Arena - Automatically generated for you whether you picked a Coop mission, an SP mission, or a Campaign mission. Arena will only have the types of planes available in original mission.

* Prohibit/Allow AI planes in DF Arena - If AI planes are allowed, only the types available in the mission are present.

* Remove AI Only tags from Coop Missions - You may want to make all flyable planes available in a Coop mission. This does it automatically for you.

* Copy all Stock Missions from original IL-2 Sturmovik into FB/AEP - Self explanatory. This automatic script takes care of putting all missions from IL-2 into FB/AEP without overwriting your files, your current static campaigns, or compromising license issues. As long as you are a legal owner of licenses for both FB and IL-2, the feature will work.

Other feature:
* Now UQMG saves and loads original date for mission - very useful if using automatic header generation for briefings.

Other minor improvements:
* Updated upgrd0009 missions with dates to use Data Save/Load feature.
* Fixed problem with automatic briefing header generator that did not load briefing from previous version "uqmg" missions.
* Made minor improvements to GUI based on user feedback regarding fore and background colors.
* Mission generation message now uses the UQMG help form instead of Windows Message Box, eliminating the "Ding" sound.
