Is this a recent change? I recall vividly the only way I was able to get on target was to use the F10 map on the original play through a few months ago.
I used it heavily when crossing the channel and linking up with the bombers especially when I was on my 5th+ attempt in the mission and accelerated the game (ALT+z) to cross the channel and I only had a half hour to play the mission.
I 1000% agree with the pilots of the time getting lost, but as a working dad I don’t have much time to be lost sometimes lol.
Your campaign is awesome, just wish I was able to use that as I recall. Will have to spend some time now it seems.
