investigating P-51D bundled missions containing Config (snap views), tracks, etc...

[virgo47]

I randomly chose an Instant action mission and was puzzled by the snap views that were not mine... so I went to look into the mission files. It seems that from all the missions, three Instant action missions contain Config with snap views, tracks and other unwanted stuff.

The affected files that should be cleaned up:

QuickStart/P-5125 - Caucasus - Train Strafe.miz
QuickStart/P-5130 - Caucasus -Train Strafe.miz
QuickStart/P51D-IA-Caucasus-Low Level Hell.miz

The tracks, settings are for the mission intro/cinemas. Snapview sometimes used for adjusting cinemas view. or the developer just forget.

OK, I don't know about tracks usage, thanks for the additional info - but embedded snapviews make player's snap views useless (just like forgotten ones), which is probably not good.

I check the thread and I don't believe this is the case. The mission starts immediately. I'd say these are forgotten tracks that can be cleaned.

I've bought P-47 and Spitfire, and they also have missions with similar issues with the included SnapViews, so this is probably some copy/paste problem also between modules:

In Mods/aircraft:

$ for i in */Missions/*/*.miz; do unzip -l "$i" | grep -iq SnapViews.lua && echo $i ; done
FA-18C/Missions/QuickStart/IA-FA-18C-Syria-Gauntlet.miz
Flaming Cliffs/Missions/Campaigns/CWW-Outro.miz
P-47D-30/Missions/QuickStart/P-47D - Caucasus -Train Strafe.miz
P-47D-30/Missions/QuickStart/P47D-IA-Caucasus-Low Level Hell.miz
P-51D/Missions/QuickStart/P-5125 - Caucasus - Train Strafe.miz
P-51D/Missions/QuickStart/P-5130 - Caucasus -Train Strafe.miz
P-51D/Missions/QuickStart/P51D-IA-Caucasus-Low Level Hell.miz
SpitfireLFMkIX/Missions/QuickStart/Spitfire - Caucasus - Train Strafe.miz
SpitfireLFMkIX/Missions/QuickStart/Spitfire(CW) - Caucasus -Train Strafe.miz
SpitfireLFMkIX/Missions/QuickStart/SPITFIRE-IA-Caucasus-Low Level Hell.miz

I can repeat the report under those module sections, but I'll wait after this is acknowledged (or explained) first.

I'll investigate, thanks.
