Spotting WP from JTAC (In Orbit)

[Leeham]

Was flying some sunset mission, with JTAC giving me targets. The problem was after WP was fired I had major trouble locating it with poor lighting.

 

Had to Alt+F1 and zoom all the way in to even see it. I was orbiting at 20000ft though, is that too high for spotting visually?

(in orbit) < you weren't lying....Astronaut training?! The Hawg should NEVER be that high.

 

But, you should be able to see it ok with TGP in w/h or b/h modes.

That is high to tally smoke.

 

Flying that high is totally normal otherwise though.

Can't quite get Civil simming out of my head :(

I usually fly 10-15K feet for orbiting, just out of reach of the most common nasties.

I've been reading the HOGS novels, and the pilots are always complaining when they have to be above 10Kft. "That's astronaut territory!What I'm talking about!" - Shotgun
