Weegie Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 When I select my aircraft on a very simple mission for landing, its started at a Waypoint. I can adjust speed and height but is there a way to start with the aircraft pointed in a particular heading in the air? Relative newbie and not the sharpest tool in the box :helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwd2 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Not in the same way, as for ground unit, but you can make a WP (very close to your start point) in any direction you want to start.

Svend_Dellepude Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Make two way points. The first is your start point and the second in the direction you want to go.

Cobrahjh Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Wow! I was trying to get four formations to head in the same direction using the WWII Bombing formation. However, three wanted to go south and double back to get back into box formation. I added a single waypoint pointing to the same direction as lead (dont think that mattered) for each left, right, and back formations and fixed! Adding the waypoint was just the thing to snap them in to place. Thanks so much, Svend_Dellepude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragBum Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Can you not choose the direction when you place the aircraft on the map using the heading compass? Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Wrench Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 When using the WWII bombing formation, if you have the task in the WP0 of each group, they'll 'snap' into place if you move the lead element. Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, when placing aircraft there is no heading compass, unlike for ground vehicles: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
