Redddevil911 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Has a MOD been done for tandem take offs? If so could some one tell me were to find it. Thanks! Quote
+comrpnt Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Hi Reddevil911, not so much a mod as a way of defining AI aircraft in relation to each other or in relation to your own aircraft. For example, consider the following extract from a recent mission I'm working on. It shows two F-100Ds on final approach to Phu Cat for a pairs landing, and also a couple of F-4Cs on a pairs takeoff from Da Nang. (This is all hand-crafted as I find it easier to define exactly what I want using a text editor, rather than use one of the mission editor utilities for SFP1 etc.) .......................................................
