Total Air War:
Training Mission #2 - Basic
Navigation & Aircraft Performance
by Chris "BeachAV8R" Frishmuth
In Training Mission #1 we looked at some of the basic
operations of the F-22 in TAW. Today we will continue peeling back the layers
of complexity in this sim and hit a couple more features and pieces of useful
information. Our flight today will be a cross country “free-flight” listed as
Ar Rub al Khali from San’a Airbase to
Riyadh.
This long stroll across
Yemen
and
Saudi Arabia
will give us some time to experiment with the F-22 and explore some of the
systems and capabilities. Even these free flight missions have objectives,
though they are easy to complete (you must land at the designated airbase and
you must survive).
For this training sortie we’ll have a wingman with us,
although we will not be touching on wingman control issues quite yet. Just
think of him as your instructor flying along helping you out. Again, it would
be my preference to have the ability to select the loadout for the training
missions, but that isn’t possible. So for this mission we’ll be loaded with
live ordnance again, including missiles, rocket pods, and external fuel tanks.
