EDIT. In case a mission-maker forgets to put AI on idle, could the host-script do this itself? E.g. prohibit AI takeoff before all players are ready?
Is it possible to join a mission in progress and take a seat in one of AI planes? This should be a server-side option I think configurable in some sort of .ini or .txt file.

Yes readme will be included in future. I think I may even create a installer.
About setting the AI on idle: Definitly possible with really small effort. However ... setting the group on idle is not a good idea if it has airstart and is used by human pilots. The AI will circle around the first waypoint, but the human pilots will already fly around. Thats why the aircrafts are selected in the "lobby mission" before the mission starts. So there is no need to set them on idle.
To join in progress could be made possible. Maybe I can read the values from the difficulty setting to determine if it is allowed. I think I also could make it possible to be able to rejoin into the same aircraft if a client disconnected due to timeout/launcher crash.
I also have some ideas how to make it possible to read the briefing from within the "lobby mission".
But well ... it's time to fly some coops first
