Omega Oska Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 My wingman just hates me. Everytime I try to land with him he'll leave me just before touchdown. I have already put myself on the left side of the runway, what more can he ask for? So how can I land with him? It's not really essential, but I just want to do it for at least once.

DimASS Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 you should follow the glide path. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laud Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I think he wants to know how to get the !!!AI!!!-wingman to land with him. I have no idea. I think for AI the RWY is "closed" as soon as one aircraft (in this case yours) is touchdown. So he makes a goaround and lands when you have vacated the RWY.

JonTex Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 My wingman just hates me. Everytime I try to land with him he'll leave me just before touchdown. I have already put myself on the left side of the runway, what more can he ask for? So how can I land with him? It's not really essential, but I just want to do it for at least once. If im not mistaken you have to assign him to your flight as well as your wing. So when you create the mission make sure that in the box where it asks how many pilots you want .. choose 2. This will give you a wingman in the same flight as you. Now dont quote me ,because LOMAC has a mind of its own when it comes to mission making ... any one of these seasoned veterans here can attest to the headaches that accompany mission making in LOMAC, but this should force your wingman to land with you. Provided that you dont give him any orders that would complicate the already ridiculous intelligence of the AI. Such as giving him the order return to base, complete the mission and then join up, or any of the few orders that you can give your wingy in LOMAC. The way I always look at it is , once I give him an order I dont expect to see him again ..... ever :D . Its kind of a ugly truth for Lock On that this game as well as the AI have a mind of their own. Having said that I have had my wingy (AI) land with me in formation but it was one of those strange moments that you never have any control over ... nor can you ever figure out how to do it again. But the above is my best explanation for it so it is possible but not probable ... hehe. Good luck bud:thumbup: If all else fails have someone fly with you. If you cant find anyone give me a buzz ... Ill fly with ya. Tex [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-konkussion Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 He'll land with you if you come in WAY to the left side of the runway-usually. I think he has to have the center or he circles around.

Aeroscout Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just my 2 cents have him vector to the airfield, then fly his wing into touchdown. (this is good only if you are good at formations.)

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If you aim to land on the absolute edge of the runway then he should land with you. I have made it happen a couple of times. More challenging (as I am rubbish at formation flying) and fun is ordering him to land, then flying on his wing. A real blast if you can do it without flying so close that you scare him into going around. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....

Weta43 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Just stay on the glideslope & your side of the runway & if he's in your wing & your flight he should land with you every time. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Oska Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I guess I'll try to fly his wing next time. Byut then I have another question. To stay behind him and to maintain a visual on him, obviously I will be below the glideslope. Is this what happen in real world formation flying? Or will the lead fly slightly above the glide path so his wingmen can use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMFA-Blaze Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 If you have Track IR keep looking at him as well as keeping your A/C all the way toward the outside edge of the runway, and he'll land right behind you... And if you give your bird enough brake you can get him to pass you.. Its cool to follow him to the parking area or where ever you've been assigned to in the editor.. And if you have enough juice in your system and you have the heat blur enabled the immersion is the best there is in these virtual Sky's... ~S~ Blaze intel Cor i7-6700K ASUS ROG MAX VIII Extreme G.Skill TridentZ Series 32 GB Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SATA II ASUS GTX 1080/DIRECTX 12 Windows 10 PRO Thrustmaster Warthog Oculus Rift VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boneski Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The AI has to be the Lead Ship when doing this... Fly its wing keeping in mind a good vis reference point. Keep your energy state in check... It's best to fly on the brake that way you will have a high power setting but able to slow down with the AI... If you fly the same config as the AI you will overtake it when it changes config. When the AI goes Gear down / Flaps Down it will slow quickly to landing speed... If you lag in your config...you will more then likely start hamming it up trying to stay on speed with the AI. That's why it's best to fly on the brake. In this case you will have to predict what the AI is going to do ahead of time.. Good Luck My mission is to fly, fight, and win. o-:|:-o What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.

bSr.LCsta Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Just stay on the glideslope & your side of the runway & if he's in your wing & your flight he should land with you every time. Its all in the approach. If you fly the AI landing approach (speed, alt. and sink rate) he will land with you. is this ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Like he said - for the Su-25 (maybe everything) 250 km/h, on the glide slope, follow the needles, control speed with attitude, alt with thrust, your side of the strip.... Pretty sure you don't need to start from the start of the glide path, as long as you're settled at the right speed, & slope by the time you get to the runway. Cheers.
