I'm generally in the TA Saturday mornings ET

Is that like Friday night Central Standard Time?...  Friday afternoon Pacific?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

When you fly offline you can use the Tab key to select one of the drones and you'll see a green cross showing you where to aim to hit your target.

 I tried this, and it didn't work.  When I hit the tab key, I got a box around the icon, but no green cross.  What am I missing?

Mongoose are you offline? It's possible that you have to enable it in options/arena setup/environment/arena settings/flight mode flags. I don't recall enabling it so I assumed it's default but I may have set it and forgotten. In the training arena it's on but you have to use ctrl-tab to enable it before you use tab to select your target.

 select flight mode flags and click change,a window will open and you can select lead calculating gunsite. You can also change the bomb calibration to manual in the same place,this is also where the lead calculating bomb sight is activated.


   hope that helps.
