Replying to lead's calls as wingman
-
Probably a dumb question but if I am wing man how do I respond to leaders calls as other flight members do?
for example:
Lead: “return to formation”
3: “In position”
4:“In position”How as 2 would I signal that i’m in position/
Perhaps you can’t ,I can’t see an obvious way.

You can’t.

Indeed. If you fly with humans, they use their organic brain, vocal apparatus and will to cooperate; you don’t need to use menus in that case; voice devices and communication softwares, IVC probably, will be necessary.
You may sometimes run into impairment from one of the items above, of course.
But you may already know all of that and asking about an AI explicitly.

yep
solo only at the moment
thanks for the reply -
If you are interested in MP and/or need any training hit me up.
Cheers

Well, you CAN hold down your UHF/VHF radio button and say, “In position”, but the AI is very rude and won’t even acknowledge your response…. it’s why I never go out for drinks with them after a flight at the Officer’s Club… just… rude.
But seriously, for mental muscle memory, you can and should go ahead and respond as one would even though it falls on deaf ears. Prepares you for that time when you will feel comfortable flying online with others. And it gets your head in the sim, thinking like the pilot you are trying to simulate.
Best wishes and good luck to you!! See you around!

Hi, Migman.I agree with both Lorik and Semler. Mulltiplayer addresses the issue the best, plus I’ve made some good friends in that area. My schedule has been nutty lately, but I intend to get back to it. Meanwhile, Semler makes a good point, too. As Lead or wingman, in SP I’ll use the comms for such as “push Uniform Six”, or whatever. It’s just plain fun immersion

Lorik’s organic brain comment, love it
