Just realized I pressed escape in haste after a mission to save the briefing of the next mission for the next time I play FS2......but realized it was a special ops mission that I cannot seem to play again.....it does not even show up in the mission simulator, instead there is a blank where the mission should be......

Any tips on how I can access this mission again, without starting the campaign all over?

Edit the main campaign file  (removing all missions before the loop) save a copy of it, Then play.......

It's not the same thing as playing it through the campaign, but IIRC using the -allslev flag in FSO opens up all missions in the techroom.

Wasnt -allslev dropped recently and replaced with the same thing that works with tech info... ctrl + shift + s ?

Dunno.  It's just IIRC

It was indeed dropped in favour of that keypress.

You could hack the campaign file to change the current mission...
