samuraigg -> Quick ? about range circles (6/19/2006 4:36:32 AM)

Hey guys, I have yet another question. Say that I launch 4 F-16s, and the game forms them into a group. Is there a way to get the game to show the radar range circles for that air group like they would for a single aircraft? I already tried going into preferences and checking the boxes to show the sensor ranges.

Thanks so much, that did the trick. [:)]

Second question. Say that there are a group of 5 or so SAM sites that I want to destroy with an airstrike. Is there a way to create a single mission that will target all five of those? I've tried selecting all of the sam sites and then create a mission and assign several aircraft to the mission, but so far I think the airplanes just fire all their weapons at a single site and head back home winchester. Any ideas, or should I just do it manually.

The method you mention is very good, but the easy way is to just do it manually since the Mission AI goes down the list of targets until they are all destroyed.

If you drag select all five targets, create a strike mission against them, and then assign 12 (of the same) aircraft (with the same loadout) to that mission, the aircraft will launch in groups of four. The first flight of four should kill the first target. The second flight of four should go after the second target, while the last flight of four will attack the third target on the list. (This, of course, assumes that the first two targets are totally destroyed.)

What are your planes armed with?
Are they all the same type of plane or are you mixing types with different loadouts?

I have a question about range circles. Whenever I create a new flight, the range circles for that flight do not appear even though the option is checked. But oddly, whenever I select a flight to land, then its range circles appear. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thanks.

Ah... makes sense. No wonder my single Sentry would show its radar range circles but my flight of Tomcats wouldn't until I sent them home.

Thanks.
