Portal location WP ?

[84-Simba]

Hey there !

I'm at mission 4 and so far this campaign is great.

I've one complain but maybe it is an error from my side.

All the bulls calls are given from Portal.

The coordinates are indeed in the kneeboard but I find strange that the pilot wouldn't include it in the datacard and have it in the waypoints list to check it as A/A reference.

Is that a route clarity matter maybe ?

Hi, it was a minor error on my part, I just never included it, I have a feeling there was a reason for it at the time, but that was nearly 2 years ago now when I began the campaign and I honestly can't remember what that reason was .

No problem my friend.

I just have to remember to add it at startup, no biggie but when the first calls arrived I had to fiddle around until I found the info

One quick question while I have you,

When I arrived from mission 4 I did my usual break but this time in the Navy way, left hand, 800ft AGL, 350kts and started offset to the right of the runway instead of aligned.

I had the tower telling me ''no one was impressed by the fly by, etc ...''

Is that because I did my break starting offset ?

No it will be probably be because you broke over the base housing, which is one of the noise restriction areas.  If doing an overhead break make sure you extend a little past the runway to avoid the housing.

Hmm okay, I'll look into that.

Thank you

The other thing to note in the F-18 is that currently (relatively recently added) if a bullseye is included in the mission it will be automatically assigned to WP 59.  So you should be able to just assign WP 59 as A-A WP in any mission and have a proper bullseye in your flight computer.

Indeed ... but I did not check if there was any data in the WP 59.

Should be there, this function wasadded after the campaign was completed so I've never used it, but the bulls was set in the editor so wp59 should work.
