	It can be quite difficult to get saved INTER.DAT files while air combat is happening. The Options shortcut key from UFOExtender helps somewhat in getting to the Save menu. It seems to be easier to do if you have 4 aircraft engaged, vs just 1 or 2. Or maybe it's just easier if your aircraft are faster than the UFOs and can keep station with them effortlessly.
