@cm2 Glad you enjoyed.

Just played mission 8: it's a brilliant! Nice views, (...this also allowing you to keep your head outside the cockpit(c)) different weapons including guns, interesting targets, drama... Just WOW, really enjoyed.

Just 1 hmmm "thing": i had easily joined Wave when he is on his way to nearest airport. Flying at his left right near him. Seeing his smoke. But at one moment he's doing a way too unpredictable maneuver when changing direction to airport...It was really like: hey! what are you doing? Where are you going? Why are you gaining an altitude? First i thought what may be he now has some controls failure. But next i enable a map an AMPCD and saw an airport. But i was close to miss his...landing. 

I think if he told by radio what he's found an airport and making right turn-it will be more intuitive to be right next to him.

But anyway-so far it's one of my favorite missions in f/a-18c campaigns!

Hey @Pavletto

Glad you enjoyed.

Yeah, the wing can make some sudden strange movements.
He knows which airport he is headed for? Unfortunately that’s DCS AI for you. His script is to land ASAP but sometimes the AI has a mind of its own.

I think it was nearest one. But i will re-fly this mission anyway so i will check this moment.

@Pavletto it will be the one I have designated in the script.
You can tell as things will happen when he lands.
