Waypoint Issue

[VAF [136] Striker]

I've been doing military simulations since 1997 and I have a lot of friends that are actually in the military and I have to make a very important point about this campaign. I flew the first mission and I followed the waypoints to the letter and ended up failing the mission twice. There's no such thing as failing a mission by following the waypoints designated by the commanders. I seriously do not understand why anyone would expect a flight officer to fly into enemy territory and state that you can do this but if you do you are going to fail at your job. Please explain this discrepancy.

If you read the briefing you'll see that one of the waypoints is the bullseye - not meant to be flown to

Makes absolutely no sense at all. I understand your response but the explanation does not fit with any kind of military design. Where is the FEBA? Were is the FLOT line? The entire briefing is completely vague.

Hey Striker, Sounds like you may need these. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/f-15c_16-2_red_flag_briefings/

 

They're in the sticky at the top of the sub forum.

Absolutely NO Air Force Pilot would go on a mission without READING the brief. LOL

I did read the entire introduction and the briefing for the first mission in the start of the campaign. I had no idea that this packet existed except for a vague reference to it in the briefing so I had no idea of this extra information. Maybe a reference link should have been included. I'm used to getting all the information necessary from the internal briefings. Thanks Boxin for posting the link to what I needed. Now I understand the layout.

The external stuff is one of the things that makes this campaign so special. All the docs are in your game folders too.
