Dog fighting Drones
« on: October 12, 2024, 11:27:09 AM »
I found a place in the sim where there was combat with drones.  Now I can't find it.  Anyone now where it is?

Thanks

Where is the natch play arena.  How do I get to it? Just found it but it's grayed out.

Once in match play, just hit a direction to take off. It will spawn you in with the AI.

You can also play offline missions which might be fun for you. Those are great places to learn BFM and beginner SA.

Drones are a good way to get things in order and learn the flight model. But in short order I would get with a trainer who can teach you the shortcuts to learning the skills. Drones probably won't teach you reactions from an opponent. That said, everyone moves at their own pace.

This video is a good source of dogfighting BFM. I would then get with a trainer. Sik1 is the usual name that appears and has taught many a pilot.
These guys in the MA are very seasoned, so don't let the learning curve discourage you, we were all there.
