Abris damaged - how to navigate back to airport?

[goldfinger35]

In one mission I got hit with AA fire and got damaged. My Shkval and Abris screens stopped working.

Is there an easy way to navigate back to airport?

I tried to understand radio navigation (ADF...) from the manual but no luck...

You can use pvi. Probably airfield n 1 is where you came from.

 

But, in any way, you gonna try to understand the manual. Not a matter of luck, but effort, young padawan.

Assuming your PVI is still operational I would select the APT PVI-800 task button, select airfield point 1 or 2 (1 if departure/arrival airfield are the same, 2 if they aren't. you only get the #2 point if it's not the same as #1), and turn on mr. autopilot.

Just let the force guide you...bring you home it will :D

[Skydoc]

if you are close enough, you can call tower and ask for a vector - there is a radio command for this, forget exactly what its called. Other option would be if your wingman is still alive, tell him to RTB and follow him.

 

Sadly, I have had to use both of these techniques and they do work.

Alternatively, egress the HZ, gain a bit of Altitude and stick your head out of the Cockpit and navigate by Sight!

 

Nothing easier than your Peepers......:D

Aye, your last line of navigation equipment is always Mk1 eyeball.

 

It's when that system is out of commission from battle damage that you have a problem. :D

LOL of whole different sorts, I might add. ;)

Never look at the intricate details of beautiful women with depth of field anymore. Those DD toys suddenly don't look so enormous anymore.

Press the On-Star button up on the upper right eyebrow and someone will be with you shortly to provide guidance.

[Jg2001_Rasputin]

Hold your thumb into the air and wave a towel!

 

Somebody will pick you up sooner or later...

 

[EtherealN]

Also, make sure to always have 42 as the number of your aircraft. :P

Real men pull over and ask for directions.

[Chizh]

Go high, select NDB channel of desired airport (chart on the right window) and guide by a RMI bearing to radio station needle on HSI.

 

See Flight Manual p. 2-68 (Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) ARK-22)

[Zakk]

Find a river, and then follow it down stream to the ocean; then follow the coast line to the nearest airport. You will always find civilization living near the water.

[Chillspider]

go back the way you came :thumbup:

[slowhand]

what would be cool and a lil more in tune with the whole clickable cockpit...make the f10 view the drivers right leg chart with a zoom in and out for better reading maybe an NBD chart..cus if ya got a map and every driver that i have shot the shit with... has a plan ol compass and chart on them or onboard.. you can get anywhere you need to go....
