To edit the Aces of the Pacific roster you'll need a hex editor like the one found in PCTOOLS. Before editing I highly recomend that you save the ROSTER.DAT file to different directory or a floppy disk.

Resurrect the pilot
To keep your pilots alive forever, make a copy of the ROSTER.DAT file before going on a dangerous mission. If you get killed, you can copy the file back and your pilot is resurrected - as though he had never flown the fatal mission. For example, to copy the file, change to the Aces directory and type: COPY ROSTER.DAT BACKUP.XXX To resurrect a pilot, change to the Aces directory and then type: COPY BACKUP.XXX ROSTER.DAT Make sure you copy the ROSTER.DAT file every time you successfully complete a mission.
