I see a lot of advantages to having the .target command only offline.

Can configure all the planes not only on targets but on the a.i. enemy. Hmmm. The main problem is taking the time to go offline for a calibration and then going back online to fly in the MA. SMH Made things more difficult for players. Not helpful.  :rolleyes:

They took it out because we were using it for long range artillery in the main arena...

Wasn't elevation (0deg) and heading (0deg) fixed, making it pretty useless for anything practical?

No, you can do a bearing and elevation.  If memory serves, .target 100 90 45 would put it 100 yards away, at heading 90, at a 45 degree upward angle.  Negative last number means it would be at a downward angle.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Sorry Skuzzy, Sir

I had no intentions of trying to flamebait him or anyone else.....

I thought that I was just pointing out fact(s) and what they caused and cost the community members


My apologies, .... I'll let it go
