- 1) How many minutes of flight can we squeeze out of

- flying?

 

Depends on how much throttle you give it. I'd say you can fly both aircraft for about ten to fifteen minutes, maybe longer if you throttle back.

 

- 2) Can we customize the weapons loadout at all?

 

No.

 

- 3) What will the missions be for each Aircraft?

 

Currently, and this could change slightly, for the A-10 you have several ground targets: A T-80 Tank, a BMP-2, a BRDM, all which are static, and then two trucks nearby that are moving down a road. There is also an Mi-8 Hip helicopter flying around the area.

 

For the MiG-29 you have one MiG-23 that you can dogfight at close range, very close range to be exact. Both aircraft have heat seeking missiles and guns only.

 

- 4) Is there an airbase nearby so we can start

- practicing our landings?

 

Yes, but you will only have fuel to do the mission and maybe shoot a couple approaches and landings. The A-10 mission lasts longer as it doesn't burn fuel as fast.

 

- 5) Any particular weather effects in effect plus

- time of day? (or can we choose this)?

 

If is fixed at mid-day with clear conditions.

 

The missions are fun but they are just a taste and you will feel great flying them but you will want more. Pretty much the intention of the demo in the first place! <http://forums.ubi.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif>
