• If the file is still open in Excel, the game won’t be able to read it. Close Excel before running the game.
• Changes to the file while the game is running will not take effect until the next run.
• The server will not accept any missions flown while using an external .xls – you’ll be kicked out at the end of the mission (even if you cancel it).
