    Theoretically, you should be able to do this by changing the default AI craft in the aircraft folder (C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\AircraftDesigns). Rename one of the files that starts with __ai (to keep it for if/when you want to change it back), and then rename the file for the plane you want to the name of the AI file.


    For example, if you wanted to replace the Bomber from the escort mission with a B-52 you had saved, you would:
    1. Rename __aiEscortBomber__.xml (note that it's two underscores on either side, not one) to something else, like __aiEscortBomber__ORIGINAL.xml
    2. Copy the B-52's xml file and rename it to __aiEscortBomber__.xml (again, note the two underscores).

    The process would be the same for any of the other AI craft you wanted to replace, but with the appropriate file names.


    Disclaimer: I haven't tried this so I'm not sure if it actually works, but theoretically it should. Just make sure to use planes that the AI can fly!
