There's a post 'round here somewhere that explains (in detail) how to edit a text file to fix it, so you don't have to rerun the patrol... ah,
here it is.
It's a little obtuse when I first started looking at it, but it cleared up after I played with it a bit.
As for my earlier issue with the aircraft attacking... I reinstalled, reapplied the mods (with the exception of the sensor patch and Webster's maneuvering fixes), and SH4 is back to its normal aircraft behavior. Last patrol had three aircraft encounters. I crash dived as soon as each was spotted. The aircraft didn't hone in on me like before.
