Locking loadout on friendly wings
This question mostlikely has a simple answer so thank you for you time.

When friendly wings of fighters are created in FRED2 they appear in the loadout screen in the briefing when you run the mission. I know in some missions these fighters appear white and the player cannot change the ship type or loadout. However, in the mission I am making all my fighters appear greenish/blue and the player can freely change their loadout. Bombers can become fighters etc.

I want to know how I can prevent the player from changing the loadout of friendly wings, or even better to prevent the friendly wings from appearing in the briefing's loadout screen all together. Is this possible? I am happy with doing one or the other.

p.s. love the forums, this is my 3rd post

No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

That's embarrassing I thought it would have been in the wings manager.

Thanks FUBAR

Re: Locking loadout on friendly wings
By default Alpha, Beta and Gamma wings appear in the Loadout and on the HUD. Delta and Epsilon do not appear in Loadout but do appear on the HUD.

However you can choose which ships appear where simply by going to mission specs and pressing the Custom Wing Names button.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
