unlikely_spider Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) How do I approach the dogfight, outnumbered 2-1? I am getting shot down. I also tried to make a mission in the editor, with two L-39s on a different side than me, but in the resulting mission they don't engage and just keep flying straight. I need to practice in a quick mission because flying for an hour before the fight starts each time isn't a good way to get better. Also, when I'm shot down, I get no warning at all, and thus can't release countermeasures. Am I not supposed to get an audio warning? It's not a good feeling to just explode immediately without knowing I was even fired upon. I'm new at the mission editor obviously but if it's too much to troubleshoot why mine won't engage, if someone can upload a mission with a Mirage vs two L-39s with air-to-air capabilities, that would be amazing. I've got all maps except for the new Channel one. Edit - a nice user sent me his mission that allows me to dogfight L-39s on demand.

unlikely_spider Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) It talking about missile shots - did you turn your RWR on? I think it is off by default... Thanks - I'm pretty sure. It's one of the three switches above the ILS freq panel, right? I put all three to M during startup, and the dial to "square". I was reading up on the L-39s - they only have heat-seeking missiles correct? What's the best way to counter those? I have two radar-guided missiles as well as heat-seeking ones, so should I avoid close maneuvers with them? Edited June 8, 2020 by unlikely_spider Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1
TaleSpin Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 If you get shot at by IR missiles you use flares and try to "get away", simply spoken. You can either use the "Panic Release" of Chaff and Flare or the "Programm release" - you have to select the proper Release Programm with the dial selector; there is a programm overview on the first page of your kneeboard.
