TE: Set FAC mission length
-
Hi folks,
I’m trying to add an E3 sentry to the TE I’m editing in Agean 1.3. The flight works fine but goes home after 30 minutes on station. Can the mission length be in increased, and if so, what’s the maximum mission time? I’d have to think of the HAVCAP escort as well (currently 2 F15C), of course…
I’ve tried setting the arrival time to stpt 6 one our later, but of course the leg turns read with an airspeed of 15kts .
TIA for any help,
Uwe

There is the loiter time to set in the mission planner (patrol time)
For the max play time, you have to determine its fuel consumation then compute it yourself. But in KTO, about 5h is no problem whatever the station area.

Thanks Dee-jay, sorry if I’m sounding too stupid but I’m only feeling my way around the mission builder ATM
I checked both “triangle” spts in the mission builder (4-5 which the sentry plane hits 2-3 times before RTB), and neither has any options. I’ve tried setting them to “FAC”, but that hasn’t helped, either:
Thanks, Uwe

Mission type must be “AWACS”.
Action points (target points) must be set “AWACS”. -
Ah, I think I got it now. I don’t have an entry called “AWACS”, but “ELINT” seems to do the trick as well:
Thanks again!
