Default Bomber formations on game launch when air starting the mission

Would it be possible to alter the default behaviour of formations of aircraft when a mission is started to match that as set in the mission builder .For example I am working on a missions for the Solomon islands and have a Squad of B-17 air start in 2 v formations .By Default the game always spawn in echelon right formation so the two second flights from each v have to drift across into echelon left .The Ai seem to do it ok after trial and error in the FMB but for a large group of players this leads to all kinds of confusion unless a detailed explanation is given in the brief and those joining actually read it . It would be far easier to write the brief also .
eg .Mission Air start at 6000ft: Heading 270deg :indicated airspeed 160mph :
Starting positions follow...
B-17 5th Bombardment Group 70% Fuel 20x250lb Bombs
flight 1 echelon right in starboard section of lead v:
fligh2 echelon left in port section of lead v:
flight3 echelon right in starboard section of v :
fligh4 echelon left in port section of trail v.
Target etc........ Bird
