To keep your pilots alive forever, make a copy of the files that have your name before you go on a dangerous mission. For example PILOT1.PLT or JOHN.PLT. If you get killed you can copy the file back and your pilot is resurrected as though he had never flown the fatal mission. For example, to copy the file JAMES.PLT change to the Battlehawks directory and type: COPY JAMES.PLT JAMES.XXX To resurrect the pilot change to the Battlehawks directory and then type: COPY JAMES.XXX JAMES.PLT Make sure you copy the .PLT file every time you have a successful mission. Make a separate backup copy for each pilot you have.
