Air to Air spacing

[OmasRachE]

Hello everyone,

yesterday I had my first try on Mission 3 (Cap). Besides the fakt that I got shot out of the sky by a frogfoot (shame on me), I found it difficult to perform a proper CAP line abreast formation. Is there any way to get the reference heading from the lead? He doens´t seem to fly staight to any waypoint. Or did I miss the call? I want to try again this evening.

Use a2a TACAN and maintain the separation.

Hey, yeah I just did that but kind of ended up flying like a snake. Not dramatically but I was wondering if there is a way to get his reference heading to avoid constantly increasing and decreasing the distance.

I don't control every control input of the AI, it just goes from one WP to another, sometimes straight, sometimes not, this is all core AI code. I can't dynamically get the current heading, and feed it to the player.

Understood. Thank you for your answers. So I just have to deal with it, but its not a bing thing at all. The last two days, I didn´t find time to have another try. Maybe today. Can´t wait to progress. Just another awesome campaign from you.
