Altitude Set vs Altitude Used

[Talon_300th]

Hey fellas,

 

A quick question for anyone who might have come across this issue:

 

If I'm setting up my own mission and I set a group of, say, A-10A's to take off from a runway after my group and I set their altitude each way-point to, say, five-thousand feet, it seems more often than not that they will fly a completely different altitude then the one I assigned.

 

I've taken into consideration the possibility that it might be MSL altitude and it makes no difference - even over water it's the same. Am I overlooking something embarrassing like the editor is used in meters? I can't seem to find a solution.

 

Any replies are greatly appreciated.

 

Rich.

Well, they fly in a certain pattern dont' they? I thought the AI pilots were supposed to try to keep a certain distance from eachother, and they may be using heighth as one of the axes of movement to maintain that seperation

Altitude in the game is meters by default I think. You can change it to feet in options (Measurement -> Imperial).

 

I know that sometimes when you add a new waypoint, it automatically sets itself to the default altitude (6571 feet or something). If you set every waypoint individually, this shouldn't be a problem.
