Need to fix air recon

[Mik1984]

The lack of repeated air recon is a serious problem in the late game. Giving manual recon orders to 20-30 planes each turn is extremely time consuming, you resign from doing that just for the sake of not wasting personal time.

There is an absolute need for a fix in this issue, as many people have discussed before.

Is there any way to mod the air recon mission into being a toggle mission executed at beginning of every turn instead of a one time mission?

This is what the XML file contains:

<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Actions/Nuke.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Actions_Builds_LeaderHeads_Specialists_Atlas.dds,7,2</Button>
</MissionInfo>
<MissionInfo>
<Type>MISSION_RECON</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_MISSION_RECON</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_MISSION_RECON_HELP</Help>
<Waypoint>NONE</Waypoint>
<EntityEventType>ENTEVENT_AIRRECON</EntityEventType>
<iTime>20</iTime>
<bTarget>0</bTarget>
<bBuild>0</bBuild>
<bSound>1</bSound>

what now?

That does not quite cut the mustard. What is necessary is a "how to" that would enable inserting this change into any mod.

Two versions of an auto recon mod were made for BtS years ago. I've tinkered with it a bit to try and make a module that could be loaded via the init.xml but my decided lack of knowledge and experience with Python and the API made it pretty much impossible for me to accomplish. I posted what little I've done in the ROM:AND mod forum. I've been able to get the module to load without problems but it doesn't work and doesn't show any errors either. The last post in this thread has what I did for the module: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=530321.
