The mission planner should be able to get waypoint data for flight waypoints, target waypoints etc from the mission file. see: https://github.com/pydcs/dcs https://github.com/Santi871/DCSWaypointEditor for implementation details

I think this needs some fleshing out. How is this supposed to work? Which values do we read from the mix file for example. Where do they map to?

I've been tinkering on this recently, and it's pretty do-able. It might be more beneficial to import the flight(s) data from the .miz rather than the waypoints. (both are available to import) Thinking that importing multiple flights with multiple aircraft slots worth of info from something like a Liberation .miz file would be easier than having the mission maintainer manually building the packages/flights/aircraft slots. However, the way liberation groups change multiple times before a mission is finally generated might make this unuseable, and a more generic mission sign-up system that then informs the mission maintainer what to set in liberation might be more in order?
