Wingman

[williehayesjr]

Hello fellow simmers. I would like to know if F/A-18 missions will ever include us flying as wingman rather than lead, especially during training? And, will we be able to create a mission (2,3,or 4 man Flight) with ourselves as either wingman 2, wingman 3 or wingman 4? In case neither of the above is a possibility, could someone lead me to a site where I can learn, from scratch, about joining a squadron and the hardware and software needed for this?

Historically, training missions in DCS are done with you as the sole aircraft with an instructor walking you through the process of learning the air frame. I can't answer your second question as far as an AI lead because I simply don't know and don't want to give you false information.

I would recommend a fairly beefy PC for DCS, but as long as your system meets the minimum or recommended requirements for the sim you should be fine. I would also suggest that you get yourself a HOTAS and rudder pedals along with some form of head tracking software or VR if you can afford and run it.

 

I hope that helps :)

In the mission editor can't you set yourself to position 2 or 3 etc?

I've never tried.
