This utility was developed in response to the "ramp strike bug", a quirk that seems to plague certain campaign missions, most notably in the Valhalla Campaign. Occasionally the player aircraft will explode without warning or cause as it crosses the carrier fantail on approach for landing.

 

Since the ramp strike bug could result in an unrealistic loss of airframes in a campaign, this utility will allow you to restore those destroyed airframes and revive the pilots killed. It will also allow you to fly a campaign with a single pilot, even if that pilot is killed or captured.

 

What the utility will not do is prevent campaign failure if a campaign is set up to count airframe losses in its scoring system.
