In .......Data\Menu\Patterns you will find 3 single mission files which define the search patterns. They are SH3 mission files, so you will need the SH3 mission editor to edit them. You can change the waypoints to reflect the pattern you want. If you only use one search pattern button, then change number one to the way you want. If you use all three buttons, you change change any that you like. It's been attempted (i.e.

) to add more patterns, but I think the max of threee is hard coded.
