So... any info on the distance for that mission (& any of the other missions similar in nature to this 1) would be of great help & appreciated...

not sure exactly which exact mission you are tasked with so i will say that in FOTRSU it has been my experience that the distance-to-dropoff is typically either 5 km or 3 km.

the guy(s) that write up the text (radio messages/orders) either deliberately omit that key piece of information or do not think to add it to the messages/orders. in their defense, the messages/orders are text files that have to be individually edited and there are 383 missions for Patrol Objectives.

for a best practice, use the compass and draw both a 5 km circle and a 3 km circle with the center on the middle of the mission marker. then try the 5 km. if you get your prompt to drop off the spy/supplies/raiders, then you are good-to-go. if don't get the prompt, move in to the 3 km marker.
good luck!


p.s. it just dawned on me that you MAY have been asking for the folder where the information is stored. C:\Ubisoft\FOTRSU\Data\Campaigns\Campaign\PatrolOb jectives.
to know which of the folders is the correct one, you have to look at the C:\Users\Dad\Documents\F81\data\cfg\SaveGames\nnnn nnnn\CareerTrack.upc and lift the value at PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID57.

then look up ID57 in C:\Ubisoft\FOTRSU\Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData\Pat rolObjectives.cfg. that will give you the folder name in C:\Ubisoft\FOTRSU\Data\Campaigns\Campaign\PatrolOb jectives.
