Yes. Hence my new topic on this (didn't realise you had this one here). I also think a utility needs to be made to clear out KIA and MIA pilots.

I agree once someone reaches this level it is a game stopper. The air war will dry up with no pilots to fly planes.

Unfortunately, the mods/in the knows aren't around a lot nowadays so i'm not sure what the official take on this is.

OT - I know but BTR had a similar problem which was solved by a really helpful guy on the BTR forum (name preserved) who created a utility to allow you to clear free pilot slots.

Hope springs eternal though [:)]

I'm sure a work around will be found!

If other have this same problem take the route I did and PM Frag, Mogami, Joel Billings, Erik Rutins and Marc Schwanebeck. I got a reply from Joel Billings:
I've sent your note onto the programmers. I'll let you know what I find out.

But the more noise people make about this the more chance there MAY be of getting a utility we can run to clear out our pilots. I don't think there's need for a patch if a simple standalone utility can be made available that we can run to clear the unneeded data in our games out. Definitely may be easier to write than a whole new patch.

I don't want the pilots on the top pilots list (or whatever it's called) to be cleared out. I like seeing who made it to what, before they died.
I'm almost certain that dead pilots who do NOT make it to the top pilots list are not stored. The slots are empty but the program doesn't seem to know to reuse those slots.
