No Awacs/Pointer support after Landing during mission??

I have a question.

I have noticed that after landing during a mission for repairs, re-arm, or refuel, when I take off again, and re-enter the target area, if there was an awacs, or other support group helping me in the mission, they seem to be gone when I get back to the target area.

theres no communication from them, and none of the targets that were being lazed prior to landing, are being lazed when I get back to the area.

Is this a bug, or is it supposed to be that way?

K copy that Wags,

but what about the targets, that no longer have "diamonds" indicating they are being lazed?

Let me try to clarify:

When flying the A-10 in A2G mode, on the HUD some targets will have a "Diamond" indicating their position. These targets can be cycled by pressing the left cntrl + ` keys.

After landing during a mission, and then returning to the combat area, all those diamond targets are no longer highlighted.

Now I have searched through all the documentation, searching for keyword "diamond" and to be honest, it doesnt really cover the information im after.

I would like to know why those targets have a diamond, (I was under the impression that they were being lazed by another support group of some kind), and why that diamond goes away after landing and returning to the target area.

It is an active part of the simulation, not a scripted part of the missions "story" or "plot" or whatever you want to call it.

Something is actively designating those targets for some reason, and then after landing, they are no longer designated.

Bingo, lol ok, there it is.

THANK YOU!!

That makes sense now. It was just something I was wondering, and then I couldnt figure it out, so it started eating away at me.

Thank you very much.

It seems that once my wingman lands, hes done for the day. Is that correct?

So if i want him to stay airborne while I patch up, or refuel or re-arm or whatever, i just tell him to vector to a waypoint.

Thank You Again!!

Im really happy now that I know that lol.

on the HUD some targets will have a "Diamond" indicating their position. These targets can be cycled by pressing the left cntrl + ` keys.

are u sure?

because I cant, ctrl+` does nothing (only in NAV mode?)

a diamond seems to (quick flight) change only after it being destroyed?

Yeah Im sure.

Try orbiting at a safe distance from the combat area, and allow your wingman to start calling out targets.

After he has called out a few, try cycling through them again. You will be able to cycle to the targets he has identified.

or even in quick flight, those first few targets, you can cycle through the three of them right from the start.

Yeah Im sure..

'all of a sudden'(?) it works :)

havent heared a call-out of wingman, I'll pay attention

read in a post, you need the wingman, he's the one who's lasering

thx

Cool

Glad you got it working. :)
