dresoccer4 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) so i searched the manual but seems like they left out all RWR operation? or do I have an outdated manual? if it really isn't there, can anyone point me in the direction of a nice detailed guide so i can understand what all of the different buttons do....thanks! EDIT: one more question, what do the travel pods do? can you put stuff in them EDIT 2: sorry, thought i might as well get all of my questions out of the way now :) ... is the GBU-12 currently nonfunctional? any reason to deploy it?

nomdeplume Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 RWR panel seems to be described fairly well on page 184 of the manual (186 of the PDF). Travel pods increase aircraft weight and drag. Not any real use in-game except for simulating deployment flights and similar (arrival at a new airbase). I think they're usually filled with the bits and pieces used for prepping aircraft for flight, e.g. all those flags they stick everywhere and remove before the flight. GBU-12s are perfectly functional though might take a bit of practice/experimentation to get high altitude deliveries right. They're not any more useful than a Mk-82 unless you have something lasing the target though (F-5 cannot self-designate), so unless you're into mission building you'll only use them if you're playing a mission designed for them. For online play an A-10C or player-controlled ground unit can do it, otherwise the mission needs to be specifically scripted to provide a JTAC or lasing support.

nomdeplume Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 for the GBU's, i do like messing around with the mission editor, is there a way to get an AI to lase something for you? or possibly just simulate a lase on a predefined target For AI JTAC just using the mission editor functionality, check out this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138196&page=2 You can also look around the mission builders corner for scripts that provide lasing. I use my own script but CTLD apparently also has some auto-lasing scripting built-in. (e.g. look at this post.)
