Airplane Altitude Question

[+JonathanRL 974]

Straight to the point:
I have aircraft who launch their cruise missiles flying very high and too late. No adjustments I make in the aircraft seems to fix this. I want them to fly low and launch. Anybody know if there is a way to put that into the flight model?

On the same score, my Soviet AWAC planes are flying really low. I would like them to fly very high. Any idea on how to change that?

Both aircraft are already toggled in those roles.

The weapon release altitude can be fixed in the data.ini of the plane with lines like:

[LevelBombAI]
ReleaseAlt=7000.0  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Change this parameter.
ReleaseCount=24
ReleaseInterval=0.1

Thank you!

Is that for Cruise Missiles as well? Or just bombs?

New data ini section

[CruiseMissileAI]
ReleaseRange=45000.0   
ReleaseAlt=1500.0          
ReleaseInterval=5.0       

Adjust values as required
