Is this correct or will it automatically be done as soon as the AI is tweaked in a patch? Do we need to "reset" the AI with every tweak on older missions? How about ones that may have been made under 4.11? Am I making sense..?

Hi Bearcat,
The .mis files are actually very simple. They are plain text with listings and positions of all objects including the paths that objects may take (such as aircraft) and what their parameters are. So for example a flight of aircraft will specify the type, fuel, armament, AI difficulty level, etc. So the only reference to the AI is just what level it is set to (i.e. Easy, Normal, Veteran, or Ace).
This is why with all of the AI and FM changes throughout the years that there is no reason why a very old mission won't work because it only references the essentials to what makes up the mission and nothing else. The rest is taken care of by the rest of the game engine and not from the mission file. Beautiful in its simplicity.
