When do the enemy units Spawn?

[Aronis]

I am on mission 9-B, and even though I know the location of the enemy units from watching walk-through videos, when I look at those locations, nothing is there.  Only one unit was found after it became active (SA11).  After trying a few times, I watched the walk-through again and I wrote down the locations of the units and programmed steer points for each while in Active Pause (how convenient) but when I train the TGP on those locations, nothing is there.

So my question is....When do the Enemy units Spawn?  After some trigger point? or are they there when you start the mission?  Are they always in the same location from the campaign design?

When I watch a walk-thought, the pilot uses the HAS to find the targets, switches to TGP and dam , the units are there easy to see even without zooming in on the TGP. What am I doing wrong? (I think those who do the walk-throughs make their videos after flying the mission a few times, just my guess)

Thank you,

There's some randomisation in the campaign for enemy locations, that's probably what you're seeing.

ChillNG,

Yes, that makes sense now. LOL.  I ran the mission with Immortal on and did not put in any locations, but I found the SA6's and the SA11.  Rotor took two shots at the SA11 and was winchester.   I took out three SA6 with my three bombs and took out a forth with a strafing run, but there ended up being another SA6 after that?  Lost the navigator.  Then ran out of fuel on the return flight and ditched 25 miles from the base by landing in the desert.  I'll get it done without immortal and watch my fuel better.

Does the mission actually allow you to refuel in flight? Or is it like the break between the mission? (fake refuel)

I want to start back at Mission 1 and do the entire thing again, as I have moved up the ladder from Really Really <profanity>ty at this Sim to just Really <profanity>ty at this Sim.  Some day I hope to be just <profanity>ty at this Sim.

Yep, apart from the fake refuelling break between parts 1 and 2, all AAR is for real if you want to use it.

I am not ready for that! LOL.  I'll need LOTS of practice.
