Are you instructing the proper tactics instead of trying to micro manage ?
Well, huh, yeah… you’re onto something there.
Last night I’ve decided to circle around assigned path and ingress from WNW , just about edge of our “Patriot” range. Haul-ass … picked off at least 1 MIG-31 , 1-2 MIG-29, probably 1 SU-30 or 35 .
Meanwhile, wingman happily attacked (attack my tgt via HAD) SA10T with 2 harms , and mission tgt - missile batt, with jsow-a (on its own - ag wpn free).
When wild bunch approached gave him defensive on MIG-29 , but this time from better range ~30nm , so he had time to pump out , back into Pat. range … saved his ass this time.
We ran like no tomorrow 😂
Can’t say the score , mission crashed , after 15 frustrating attempts to refuel on the basket (F-18Es) at 3AM loc (cloudy night) - still “hooked” by tanker logic , pressed EXIT with 1250lbs fuel left …crash, well shit. Enough for the day.
You CAN’T see the basket in dark night , you see the hose , but basket appears too close to react in comfort fashion.
Hose is “fluorescent” on NVG , but basket is not , just too damn dark circle
I also need to play again with THROTTLE CURVE, need finer control of this
must be careful with KC-130 speed , plane is slow, and you don’t have that much control of F-18 at low speed , reacts slower 260<300kts cas
F18’s auto-throttle is cool stuff with AAR , even when you get more inertia with fuel load
But… back to the program… YES , of all commands, “GO TO” is a must (imho) , now if you can link it to X/Y , rather then steerpoint , even better , so if command can be tied to bull location on SOI (rad , hsd) … , … steerpoint will suffice also.
Cheers & Thanks
