lurker_hlb3 did things differently than Stock - or most other modders did for that matter. Your mission is in "SpecOps_guerrilla_NegrosPI_2" in the PatrolObjectives folder. The MapZone is defined in that file as being 5km radius, 10km diameter. The pilots to be "rescued" are in the main Campaign folder, "USDownPilots.mis" file, with 4 groups set to generate 1943-10-01, and "disappear" 1943-11-15. There are 3 British in the first, 3 Australian in the 2nd, 3 Dutch in the 3rd, and 1 more British in the 4th, a grand total of 10 pilots in the water, even though the instructions do say "Australian, Filippino & Portuguese". If you get there before the "spawn date", or after the "exit date", you'll not see them. Also, since the pilots are generated in an RGG (Random Generated Group), you have to be over 30km approximately from the spawn location (the 5km radius MapZone) for the groups to generate. In other words, if you got there too soon, and and you are within the spawning distance (approx. 30km), the groups will not generate. One other thing that lurker did is set the pilots "speed" to 0.5 knots, and gave them a "route" with waypoints to stay within that 5km radius MapZone, so they should be rather close together, but only between October 1st, 1943 and November 15th, 1943...
