I agree with you that it is unaccessible. I generally found that its best not to assign any planes through directives and rather directly select the targets (by clicking on them and then on "Authorize"). Then I go the the "Missions" panel and adjust the force composition etc. If you play the Luftwaffe, you will still have the problem of synchronizing you escorts with the bombers, but I am hopeful this can be learned, and in reality there was a lot of confusion and as a result, unescorted formations got slaughtered.
For the LW I actually had most problems going into the flightsim part because the sheer size of formations, I am usually just messing up the raid. Therefore I am planning to switch sides and fly the single player RAF campaign, where you usually just fly with a single squadron (at least if the game does not enforce Leigh Mallory's "big wing" strategy). Maybe that will teach me to survive and to command a few planes before I can take over the massive formations of the Germans.

I have heard JSGME mentioned several times on these boards.

It's in the 2.07 beta patch, which is not official yet, but I had no problems. You probably know it's a bit different because you are playing it from the campaign screen. So it's basically the campaign game without the chore of having to manage everything, unfortunately it comes without medals and such. And it seems it only works for the RAF, not LW.
