Not following course?
« on: March 29, 2008, 04:52:21 PM »
I set up some way points and segments for flights of 6 38Gs and 4 A6M2's on the Aleutian map, yet when I click "run mission" they take off as planned, but don't follow the way points or do what the segments say.  Help?

make sure hit fill segment toend and calculate in every segment this will make sure that you have acomplete loop.

i forgot this step at first and your problem was my result as well.

I'll try that.  Is there any particular order I should press "fill segment to end" and "calculate"?  Or just make sure I press them both?

i usually click the fill segment first. and I think you will have to because I think the calculate biutton is calculating the distance and speed to find time.

I've been in the habit now of going down the waypoint list, first clicking fill to end then calculate. In order top to bottom.

A 'fill and calculate all segments' would be a nice feature.
