Ironhand Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Fighting Falcon.... ... re-doing the video I see you're redoing the video. Wanted to mention that, if the last waypoint is a landing waypoint, that's the airfield number you'll see on the HUD regardless of where you are in the flight. You won't have to cycle to it. That only occurs if 1) you change where you want to land during the flight or 2) there's no designated landing airfield in the first place (no landing waypoint). ... 3. When I select an airport and request inbound and they give me the heading and the distance, should that distance they give me be the same as the distance that comes up in my HUD when I select to RTN to that airport? In other words, can I match these numbers up to make sure im actually waypointed to the airport that I just contacted?... Yes, they match up with the IAF (the point where the top of the glide slope starts) except that the distance they give you will be rounded to the nearest "5", while your onboard reading will be more exact.

draconus Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 As far as the 90's Su-27 guy, he would be talking to GCI with all kinds of intel as to the locations and types of other aircraft. The F10 map with "fog of war" setting seems to simulate this kind of intel. I know. There are AWACS and DataLink in SP at least. F10 feels like I would held a tablet totally killing my immersion.

Zeagle Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah I did a better video. The first one had so many mistakes...lol It was so embarrassing after I watched it. Yeah Draconis I probably agree with you more than it appeared from my post. no worries man. we need to fly together. Did anyone notice in the video that I took off with brakes locked? I didn't do that on this one. It's uploading now. On the last waypoint, I did NOT designate it as a landing waypoint. But it was located over an airport. In the uploading video you will see the system automatically choose RTN mode and the correct airport on it's own. I thought the waypoint had to be designated as a landing waypoint for that. Learn something every day. I guess it chooses the nearest airport after the last fix? Edited August 1, 2019 by Zeagle

On my end, whether it's over a runway or not, the airfield number sits on "1" until I cycle to the one I want unless it's set as the landing WP.

Zeagle Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Yeah you're right. I made a change to the mission and made that point a "landing" point. Yet another mistake on my end. So it was as they say "working as designed". Anyway I hope you check out the video when it uploads. I will post a link here.
