Status: offline 		Can we get a random option (button?) when assigning air units to a base or platform? Yes. it's great that you can go put the correct callsigns of Carrier Air Wing 17 on the Carl Vinson but sometimes I'm just too lazy to look it up ;-P

Status: offline 		I wouldnt mind this either. What i have been doing if i dont want to use a "correct" callsign is if the plane happens to be a MiG-29, ill type "MiG-29" into the callsign box. It comes in handy.

Doesn't "Lohan Squadron" or "Bill Murray Strike Regiment" have a nice ring to it?

Ships are named after bands. "USS Floyd."

You mean, like this...

(For use with Inspiration Padpro, which is freeware! Basically, copy and paste this to a text file, and change the suffix of the file from .txt to .ipt and it should run fine. I've got another one for mission names that I can post here if people want it.)

Status: offline 		I should add that this program is constantly being tweaked...this is just the current version of it. And, obviously, some of the names won't make sense, like "Dixie Yankees." But they're mostly pretty good, I think.
