Michel0079 Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Flew mission 8 and nothing happened the whole mission. Just before landing the wingman contacted me to 'get started'. Now i wonder what should trigger him to join in the beginning and not when im almost out of fuel and about to get a beer on base. Do i NEED to pass waypoint 1 to trigger him? Rapcon sends me on course of 085 just after take-off so i passed waypoint 1 and went straight to waypoint 2 after handoff. Or do i need to get close to the wingman to let him join? Tia.

Once handed off by departure at 25 (I think) miles you'll get a message saying go to waypoint 1. Once you arrive there you and the wingman or flight lead will the communicate and things will get moving. Don't skip WP1 as it will break most missions.
Michel0079 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Posted December 1, 2022 OK thanks. Isnt it a bit unhandy to first fly 25 miles (?) to satisfy RAPCON and then move back to WYPT 1 on own discretion

Departure doesn’t really care what your flight plan is, they have established departures and arrivals to help with deconfliction. And you’re under departures control until you leave their airspace or they hand you off. 1 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Michel0079 Posted June 27, 2023 Author Posted June 27, 2023 I know about departures but they would not send you back again.
